About this book
A powerful feminist analysis of patriarchy's destructive impact on the planet and marginalized communities. Susan Hawthorne's
Vortex unveils the disastrous consequences of capitalist patriarchy, from environmental devastation to social injustice. This book is for feminists, social justice advocates, and scholars seeking to understand the root causes of today's crises and find paths toward a more equitable and sustainable world.
Vortex connects seemingly disparate issues, naming male dominance as a driving force behind ecological crises and social inequalities. Through meticulous research, Hawthorne exposes the hidden agendas that sacrifice the common good for corporate profit. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of:
- The impact of neoliberalism and globalization
- The exploitation of women and Indigenous peoples
- The connections between environmental destruction and social oppression
