MANIFESTA; YOUNG WOMEN, FEMINISM AND THE FUTURE
Book ID/图书代码： 00500005B02468
English Summary/英文概要： A powerful indictment from within of the current state of feminism, and a passionate call to arms
From Lilith Fair to Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the WNBA--everywhere you look, girl culture is clearly ascendant. Young women live by feminism’s goals, yet feminism itself is undeniably at a crossroads; "girl power" feminists appear to be obsessed with personal empowerment at the expense of politics while political institutions such as Ms. and NOW are so battle weary they’ve lost their ability to speak to a new generation. In Manifesta, Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards show the snags in each feminist hub--from the dissolution of riot grrrls into the likes of the Spice Girls, to older women’s hawking of young girls’ imperiled self-esteem, to the hyped hatred of feminist thorns like Katie Roiphe and Naomi Wolf--and prove that these snags have not, in fact, torn feminism asunder.
In an intelligent and incendiary argument, Baumgardner and Richards address issues instead of feelings and the political as well as the personal. They describe the seven deadly sins the media commits against feminism, provide keys to accessible and urgent activism, discuss why the ERA is still a relevant and crucial political goal, and spell out what a world with equality would look like. They apply Third Wave confidence to Second Wave consciousness, all the while maintaining that the answer to feminism’s problems is still feminism.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “X代的青年终于愿意面对女权主义问题了，他们针对新世纪重新修改了女权宣言，这份宣言可读性强，知识面广，每一位年轻的渴望剔除性别歧视的女性---也包括男性都值得一读。”----Naomi Wolf
今天年轻的妇女们就是以女权主义的目标为她们的生活准绳，然而不可否认的是，如今的女权主义运动正处在转型期；打着“伟大女生”旗号的女权主义者们关心个人权利的心思似乎远远高过了他们前辈们的政治的热情，而诸如此类“女士”、“美国国家妇女组织（NOW）”等政治团体经历了那么多场“战斗”后已经完全精疲力竭了，他们无力号召新的一代女性朋友。
JENNIFER BAUMGARDNER在《女权宣言》中分析了女权运动中的种种困难和麻烦：譬如说暴女组织的瓦解，诸如辣妹歌唱团体的一一崛起，中年妇女们一个劲的吆喝少女们岌岌可危的自尊，还有大肆宣扬的对女权运动中的一个个大刺头们的仇恨心理，同时作者也左证一点，这些麻烦事可是绝对击不垮女权运动的。相反这些事件更多得是突出了女权运动发展的勃勃生机，并为该运动列出了重要的政治目标，清清楚楚地展现了真正的平等社会究竟应该是什么个模样。
作品集历史、政治和通俗文化的积极元素于一身，并收集了很多女权运动的资料，每一个年轻妇女都不要错过它。
