从十五世纪克里斯汀·德·皮桑(Christine de Pizan)开始,她设想了一个女子之城,作为躲避男人骚扰的避难所,这本书传到了地球上,经过多年,直到现在,在第四波浪潮中掀起了水花。它超越了通常的白人、西方故事,还包括种族、阶级、资本主义、帝国主义和其他与父权制交织的压迫轴心。1848年,伊丽莎白·卡迪·斯坦顿(Elizabeth Cady Stanton)在塞尼卡瀑布(Seneca Falls)宣告了一个不言自明的真理:“男女人生而平等”。与她一起,我们发现了索杰纳·特鲁丝(Sojourner truth),他于1797年出生于纽约的奴隶家庭,他问道:“难道我不是女人吗?”这本书以诗歌、小说、回忆录以及咆哮的宣言为素材,在众多女性主义经典著作中拨开云雾。
Feminism is the insight that sexism exists, and the struggle against that oppression. The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing is a global anthology of feminist writers, edited and introduced with a major new essay by Hannah Dawson.
Beginning in the fifteenth century with Christine de Pizan, who imagined a City of Ladies that would serve as a refuge from the harassment of men, the book reaches around the earth and through the years to us, now, splashing about in the fourth wave. It goes beyond the usual white, western story, encompassing also race, class, capitalism, imperialism, and other axes of oppression that intersect with patriarchy. Alongside Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who declared in Seneca Falls in 1848 the self-evident truth 'that all men and women are created equal', we find Sojourner Truth, born into slavery in New York in 1797, who asked 'and ain't I a woman?' Drawing on poems, novels and memoirs, as well as roaring manifestos, The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing parts the clouds on a constellation of feminist classics.
