Klappentext

"This book reminds us: women's rights are fundamental rights. They are human rights."

-Evelyn Regner, Member of the European Parliament

"In developing a systematic agenda for a more feminist EU, this book shows that at issue is not only long-overdue gender equality in all spheres of life and society but the sustainability of society itself."

• Chiara Saraceno, Professor Emerita, University of Turin and Berlin Social Science Center, and Honorary Fellow, Collegio Carlo Alberto

  "The book is a wonderful call - for activists and theorists alike - to read, think,

  discuss and act."

  -Helma Lutz, Goethe University Frankfurt
