Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards’ now classic book Manifesta has been reissued ten years after its initial publication. As I mention in the video, so much has changed in the last ten years. V Day has taken the world by storm. We almost had a woman president and do have a black president. Blogs and social networking have altered feminism, and social change in general, forever.

To get involved in the work-to-come, check out Feministing.com for analysis and action, The Third Wave Foundation (co-founded by Amy Richards!), and, of course, the ongoing advocacy work here at the Women’s Media Center.
