If you thought Feminism was finished, this week’s book will happily tell you otherwise. Reclaiming the F Word by Catherine Redfern and Kristin Aune aims to do just that; dragging ‘Feminism’ back from the depths of its ineffectual stereotype to something less unappealing and more relevant to the modern-day woman. Redfern set up the new wave feminist’s website, The F-Word in 2001 at a time when the general consensus seemed to be an all round lack of enthusiasm for a women’s movement. Since then she and Aune have witnessed an uprising of grass-roots projects, particularly young women who seem to be tapping in to the issues that contemporary life raises on both a local and global scale. This book is a result of those observations and is both a celebration of these activities and a rallying call to action.
