Amelia Horgan on Steinem’s complex liberal and radical feminism tribunemag.co.uk/2026/09/agen...
Agent of Feminism
Gloria Steinem is remembered as either an icon of feminism or a traitor to the movement. But her strange blend of liberalism and radicalism reflects the tensions of the Second Wave itself.

It’s a genuine neck and neck race between Germany and the U.K. now

📢 New preprint! 📖
Tl;dr - Too much talk of disobedience in the literature, hardly any of direct action. We define it, explain how it works, and show what difference it makes to how we understand social movements.

Imagine a normal person, just, like, in your head right now - imagine a normal person, hanging out, being normal. Now, boom, ask yourself - are they Italian? They weren't, were they. Because you don't think Italian people are normal. Racist.

I hate reality, because I don't care about international criminal law, I don't want to care about international criminal law, but also I need to make something of the fact that ICC judges are under sanctions and ICJ judges are not, and this presses hard against my worldview, and I have that.
