SEXUAL REVOLUTION
MODERN FASCISM AND THE FEMINIST FIGHTBACK
LAURIE PENNY
u003cpu003eu003cbu003eAn urgent, hopeful, and unapologetically radical new book about consent, democracy, desire, and the future of sexual politics from award-winning writer Laurie Penny.u003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eu003cbru003e"I can't really think of another writer who so consistently and bravely keeps thinking and talking and learning and trying to make the world better." -Caitlin Moranu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003ciu003eWe are in the middle of a sexual revolution.u003c/iu003eu003cbru003eu003cbru003eIn our era of crisis, collapse, and reactionary tyrants, we are also witnessing a productive transformation: profound and permanent changes in how we define gender, sex, consent, and whose bodies matter. It's a time of creative disobedience, of reimagining ways of organizing care, reproduction, and the work of building and sustaining the human species. These changes threaten the social and economic certainties that form our world; they threaten existing power structures, and they undermine the authority of institutions from the waged workplace to the nuclear family. No wonder the far right is fighting so hard. A shakeup in sexual and gender relations is a shakeup in political, economic, and social life as well. The stakes could not be higher.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eBased on Laurie Penny's celebrated, Ellie-award nominated u003ciu003eLongreadsu003c/iu003e series about rape culture, u003ciu003eSexual Revolutionu003c/iu003e is the culmination of years of journalistic research, written for a broad audience, drawing on the work of Shulamith Firestone, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Silvia Federici, Wilhelm Reich and Michel Foucault. This is a hand grenade of a book, a manifesto of social change, and a story of how feminism can save the world.u003c/pu003e
