British Feminism: Through a FiLiA Lens by Rahila Gupta,

We are thrilled to announce the FiLiA book, British Feminism: Through a FiLiA Lens!

Our thanks and gratitude to author, Rahila Gupta, who says:

‘FiLiA is more than the largest grassroots, feminist, annual conference in Europe; it is busy, throughout the year, producing a weekly newsletter, publishing blogs, uploading podcasts and supporting and leading various campaigns. It is building a feminist movement with the help of hundreds of dedicated volunteers. In short, it is a phenomenon.

‘Marking FiLiA’s 10th conference, this book provides a snapshot of British and international feminism through the FiLiA lens, both wide angle and sharp focus. FiLiA is driven by a mission to amplify the voices of Women; to build sisterhood and solidarity; and to defend Women’s human rights. But behind those fairly uncontroversial words lies a brave and principled stand on issues that have divided feminism in the UK such as prostitution and pornography, sex versus gender and religious fundamentalism. 

‘If FiLiA’s conferences have impressed you, read this book and discover how much more they are doing behind the scenes, all day, every day, to bring about change. Whether you are new to FiLiA or feminism and want to peer into the heart of feminist debates in the 21st century or whether you are a regular attendee, this book will surprise and inform you.’
