Verso celebrates International Women's Day
For over a century International Women's Day has been a site of workersβ strikes and collective action.
Taking International Women's Day back to its radical roots, we bring you books that will broaden your feminist horizons with reading that is anticapitalist, abolitionist, antiracist, as well as full of rage and defiance.

International Women's Day is a day of protest and collective action.
'Woman's Day' was first recognized in the US in 1910 following the 13 week long strike of 20,000 female garment workers.
Four years later on this day in Russia, bread riots led by women fed directly into the 1917 revolution.

Ed Meek highly recommends Timothy Mitchell's "The Alibi of Capital: How We Broke the Earth to Steal the Future on the Promise of a Better Tomorrow " @versobooks.bsky.social. Capitalism's strategy: steal the future and conceal the theft.
