About this listen
On a bright day at the Epsom Derby, 4 June 1913, Emily Wilding Davison was hit by the king’s horse in one of the defining moments of the fight for women’s suffrage - what became known as feminism’s first wave. The second wave arose in the late-1960s, activists campaigning tirelessly for women’s liberation, organising around a wildly ambitious slate of issues - a struggle their daughters continued in the third wave that blossomed in the early 1990s. Now, 100 years on from the campaign for the vote, 50 years since the very first murmurs of the second wave movement, a new tide of feminist voices is rising. Scattered across the world, campaigning online as well as marching in the streets, women are making themselves heard in irresistible fashion. They’re demonstrating against media sexism, domestic violence, and sexual assault, fighting for equal pay, affordable childcare, and abortion rights. Thousands are sharing their experiences through the Everyday Sexism project, marching in Slutwalk protests, joining demonstrations in the wake of the Delhi gang rape, challenging misogynist behaviour and language, online crusaders and ordinary people organising for the freedom of women everywhere.
Kira Cochrane’s All the Rebel Women is an irrepressible exploration of today’s feminist landscape, asking how far we have come over the past century - and how far there still is to go. Whether engaging with leading feminists, describing the fight against rape culture or bringing immediate, powerful life to vital theories such as intersectionality, All the Rebel Women binds everything together into one unstoppable idea. This is modern feminism. This is the fourth wave.

Decent
Merely touches the surface of fourth wave feminism but decent all the same. Narrator is irritating and I had to slow down the speed as she reads like she’s necked 5 espresso - shame Kira didn’t narrate!

inspiring
Great little trip through the history of feminism. Both horrifying, of course, and I was pleased to find by the end very inspiring. Highly recommended

Everyone should hear this
This is a good starting point for anyone interested in feminist views and why this topic is so important! This should be taught in schools!

Informative
I've gained more knowledge, that's for sure.
Depressing and inspiring at the same time.

100% recommend it
It was great, I knew some of the facts from the book since I'm into the topic but still there was no way I'd know about them all. I highly recommend it since it shows feminism and issues women face from plenty different perspectives and wasn't written by an American for Americans (nothing wrong with that by the way). This book shows more European struggle but also mentions other countries around the world which to me was the best argument to show that the equity isn't here, even in more developed countries

A Feminist Gateway Book.
A quick listen which is full of current feminist issues and thinking. I have read and listened to a great number of feminist books but there was still a lot for me to learn in this one. Particularly comedy and feminism which is an area I haven’t explored. I would describe this as a brilliant introductory and gateway book to feminism. I would particularly recommend it for young people.

Narrator needs to learn to pronounce words
This is a very interesting book that gives an overview of current and past feminist movements. The narrator has a light, bright tone but struggles to pronounce many words.
