The message of this manifesto is that feminism should not start or stop with seeing women represented at the top of society. The authors argue that feminism must start with women at the bottom and fight for the world they deserve. Their opinion is that feminism must be anti-capitalist, eco-socialist and anti-racist and cope with issues such as poverty wages, climate change and healthcare.
