“From the first wave of feminist activism all the way through to how the rise of the far right makes our movement more needed than ever, Maya Oppenheim’s 50 Feminism Ideas You Really Need to Know provides a necessary and timely guide to feminist history, theory and activism. Maya is one of the UK’s leading feminist reporters and brings her huge depth of knowledge from her years reporting on the key issues that impact women’s lives to this important book. She is unafraid to tackle the divisive issues and is fearless in exploring the rise of far right misogyny. When women are facing such an intense misogynistic backlash against our rights and freedoms, we need books like Maya’s to remind us how far we have come, the battles we have won, and how we can (and must) win again.”

“These pages cover so much. If you don’t know where to start, start here. This is the kind of book you will dip in and out of for years to come.”

Master the ideas that have shaped feminism throughout history.
From the right to vote to reproductive rights, from the sexual revolution to the manosphere, Maya Oppenheim’s 50 accessible essays explore the history, ideas and battlegrounds that have defined – and divided – feminist movements throughout history and are at the forefront of discussions today.
Spanning the worlds of pop culture, art, politics, the criminal justice system, economics, conspiracy, sexuality, women’s health and activism, Oppenheim’s comprehensive introduction to the most important feminist ideas charts the trajectory of an eclectic movement, which has long strived to make the world a fairer and less brutal place.
Using her experience as the first and only Women’s Correspondent at a UK news outlet, Oppenheim delves into a range of contemporary issues, which feminist movements wrestle with today as the far right swells in power and the backlash to women’s rights intensifies.
