Walking Fuel Stocks : Twenty Essays on Rage

single work
review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , March no. 429 2021; (p. 28)
— Review of Women of a Certain Rage 2021 anthology essay'Liz Byrski’s introduction to Women of a Certain Rage is, among other things, a homage to second-wave feminism and a lament that feminism, ‘originally a radical countercultural movement’, has been ‘distorted into a tool of neoliberalism’. While there is no doubt that strains of feminism have been co-opted by neoliberalism to debilitating effect, this narrative – that feminism has become ineffectual since the 1970s – is one that erases many contemporary feminisms, as well as broader feminism-informed political movements and the work that they have done and continue to do.'
