In this exciting, innovative work, Polish feminist philosopher Ewa Majewska maps the creation of feminist counterpublics around the world—spaces of protest and ideas, community and common struggle—that can challenge the emergence of fascist states as well as Western democratic “public spheres” populated by atomised, individual subjects.

Drawing from Eastern Europe and the Global South, Majewska describes the mass labour movement of Poland’s Solidarność in 1980 and contemporary feminist movements across Poland and South America, arguing that it is outside of the West that we can see the most promising left futures.
