Abstract

"Me Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism" by Alison Phipps is a book that explores the exclusivity of mainstream feminism. Phipps argues that mainstream feminism fails to address intersecting inequalities based on class, race, religion, (dis)ability, citizenship, and gender identity. The book examines the history of racism, classism, and sexism within mainstream feminism, as well as the exclusion of trans women from the movement. Phipps emphasizes the need for intersectionality within feminism and calls for the dismantling and rebuilding of oppressive structures. [Extracted from the article]
