**Men are invited, but women have the floor, and no one should interrupt or over-talk.** 

### **Our text for the Lughnasahd Circle (1 Aug):**

Paperback or Ebook at the publisher.

Says the publisher: From social reproduction and domestic work to the intertwining of financial and gender violence, as well as controversies surrounding the neo-extractivist model of development, the possibilities and limits of left populism, and the ever-vexed nexus of gender-race-class. Gago asks what another theory of power might look like, one premised on our desire to change everything.

It's a very Medusa Rising kind of book. ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ

[Feminist InternationalRecent years have seen massive feminist mobilizations in virtually every continent, overturning social mores and repressive legislation.

> Inspired by the internationally coordinated strike for the 8th of March, Gago has given us a book that well captures the revolutionary potential of contemporary feminism – its theories, its organizational forms, its struggles – all examined though the lenses of one of the most radical feminist movements on the American continent. It is a courageous and creative book, an ideal read for political formation; it opens new worlds and calls for action.
