"Contributors to this collection engage us in a timely conversation with Marxist, eco-socialist and indigenous perspectives, analysis and practice. In the intersecting crises capitalism has catapulted us into, it shares powerful forms of solidarity, resistance and ways of being." Pregs Govender, writer and author; former union educator; MP and human rights commissioner

"This volume illuminates the power of emancipatory feminist alternatives in a world of poly crisis. It reminds society that women-led agentic practices create transformative strategies for rethinking work, development and activism. The ideological resources it provides for intersectional movement building are invaluable."
