Abstract

In this bold book, Naomi Zack insists that an unapologetic reclaiming of

women’s commonality is what must drive forward feminism’s third wave. The

author wants to move beyond a focus on intersectionality, which she argues

has resulted in fragmentation that has prevented the establishment of common

goals and basic empathy. The book seeks to offer a new model of feminism that

will be ‘inclusive’. Outlined in the book’s eight chapters, this comprehensive

framework consists of what Zack terms ‘inclusive’ feminist theories of psychol-

ogy, social theory and history. Linking these components are her ‘relational’,

non-biological definition of women and an emphasis on individual agency. The

conclusion offers a utopian vision of women’s worldwide political rule.
