"This is a book every woman - and girl - should read. It speaks to everything I stand for."
Mel B (Spice Girl)

"A brilliant, accessible way into the meatier debates of feminism - sharp enough for newcomers, rich enough for seasoned feminists too"
Amnesty International UK

"A bang up to date ready-reckoner on all things feminist. A terrific introduction or refresher, with lots of interesting easter eggs to hunt for."
Deborah Frances-White (The Guilty Feminist podcast)

"Comprehensive, clear and a reminder of the peril we face from the new misogyny: buy one for every teenage boy in the country."
Paul Mason

"Breathtaking in scope - something new for everyone to learn, from beginners to long-time advocates in the space"
Poorna Bell

"The manosphere would hate this book if they read books. Essential reading for feminists and non-feminists alike. Should be compulsory reading."
Charlie Craggs

"Maya is one of the UK's leading feminist reporters and brings her huge depth of knowledge from her years reporting on the key issues that impact women's lives to this important book. She is unafraid to tackle the divisive issues and is fearless in exploring the rise of far right misogyny. When women are facing such an intense misogynistic backlash against our rights and freedoms, we need books like Maya's to remind us how far we have come, the battles we have won, and how we can (and must) win again."
Sian Norris

"These pages cover so much. If you don't know where to start, start here. This is the kind of book you will dip in and out of for years to come."
Gina Martin

"Maya Oppenheim's 50 Feminism Ideas You Really Need To Know is the brilliantly-written and expertly-researched book to bring facts about feminism to the fore and equip everyone with a deep knowledge of the movement and how and why it still very much has not gone far enough."
Andrew Bernie Bernard

Master the ideas that have shaped feminism throughout history.

From the right to vote to reproductive rights, from the sexual revolution to the manosphere, Maya Oppenheim's 50 accessible essays explore the history, ideas and battlegrounds that have defined - and divided - feminist movements throughout history and are at the forefront of discussions today.

Spanning the worlds of pop culture, art, politics, the criminal justice system, economics, conspiracy, sexuality, women's health and activism, Oppenheim's comprehensive introduction to the most important feminist ideas charts the trajectory of an eclectic movement, which has long strived to make the world a fairer and less brutal place.

Using her experience as the first and only Women's Correspondent at a UK news outlet, Oppenheim delves into a range of contemporary issues, which feminist movements wrestle with today as the far right swells in power and the backlash to women's rights intensifies.
