What Would Famous Feminists Say? How Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, and Rosa Luxemburg Would Solve the Problems of Modern Women

Feminism is experiencing its fourth wave. Unfortunately, the problems it addresses have largely remained the same: unequal rights, gender stereotypes, objectification, and discrimination.
But there are also more specific issues – questions every woman faces. Who should pay on a date? Why can only a man make a marriage proposal? Has the very idea of marriage and the wife as the "angel in the house" become outdated? And if it has, then why are women still paid less and given promotions less often? What would Susan Sontag say about selfies on Instagram, and Naomi Wolf about the mechanisms of Tinder?
“The main question of this book is far from new. It has been asked for several centuries: should women have the same rights as men? When the next wave of feminism rises, this question is voiced loudly. And sometimes we just quietly ask ourselves.”
Tabi Jackson G and Freya Rose have gathered in their book the ideas of famous feminists from different eras – from Simone de Beauvoir to Madonna. By examining their views, the authors try to answer the most important questions about body, career, household, sexuality, relationships, and violence. You will see that the views of activists even from the 18th century remain relevant today.
Serious philosophical statements and statistics are combined with specific advice and options for action. Examples from life and ironic illustrations help to better understand the ideas of different strands of feminism. It is equally a guide to the history of the movement and a practical manual – useful even for men who want to understand women better.
“You can read the book 'What Would Famous Feminists Say?' as a guide to the world of feminism. Or as a 'column by a psychologist': imagine that the greatest feminist minds of all time have merged into one figure, into an extraordinarily wise woman – the author of this column.”
