The book includes a new introduction from the authors reflecting on how things have changed in the past 10 years; an excerpt is below:

Amid all of these changes, of course, some things remain the same: Barbie survived (she is now over fifty), the wage gap remains huge, and we still don’t have an Equal Rights Amendment. Many feminist bookstores and publications died, although some were reborn. Shame around abortion stayed the same and nineties-style anti-abortion terrorism reemerged. And there are still many points we raise in Manifesta that must be underscored a decade later; for instance, why it’s still critical to focus on gender. We know that what happens to women today (and is often overlooked because it affects “only” women) will alter the world tomorrow.

Hear more from the authors on Apr 21 when they join a panel with writers and activists Veronica Chambers and Debbie Stoller at 92YTribeca to discuss their take on the current shift from Girl Power to “Opting In” to parenthood.
