False Choices

Edited by Liza Featherstone

The American politician and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton often presents her campaign as a feminist victory. This collection of essays, edited by the journalist Liza Featherstone and with contributions by notable feminists such as Roxane Gay and Barbara Ehrenreich, explores why that characterisation of her career may not be so credible. By addressing Clinton’s stances on welfare, Wall Street, crime, immigration, public health and war, the book argues that she has put forward policies and laws that have actually been detrimental to women, and have even constrained the idea of feminism itself.
