"I Am Not a Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto" is a book by the British writer and journalist, Jessa Crispin. In the book, Crispin critiques contemporary feminism, arguing that it has become diluted and ineffective due to its focus on individual empowerment and consumerism rather than systemic change. She challenges popular feminist movements and figures, suggesting that they have lost sight of the radical roots of feminism and have become too focused on personal empowerment and superficial activism. Crispin calls for a return to the core principles of feminism, advocating for collective action and structural change to address issues of patriarchy, capitalism, and oppression. She encourages readers to reject mainstream feminism and embrace a more radical, intersectional approach to feminist activism.
