PRAISE FOR The Everyday Feminist "In this practical primer for feminists, philanthropists, and organizers, Latanya Mapp Frett introduces readers to women around the world who are creating change in their communities and gives guidance on how to better support their movements." —MALALA YOUSAFZAI, Pakistani female education activist and the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize laureate "Latanya, an everyday feminist herself, has provided us a practical and inspiring journey through her life and work, introducing us to other everyday feminists and activists along the way. Her voice is comforting in an urgent moment when women are taking up the helm to change the trajectory of history and solving many if not most of our social challenges. It is a radical idea, that if we, everyday feminists, connect, activate, and mobilize, we can meet the targets for carbon emissions, mitigate the impacts of climate change, and adapt our communities to a new and bright future. This is the power of everyday feminists. And this is the power in the book. Grab a hot drink and enjoy dreaming the possible." —MARY ROBINSON, Former President of Ireland, Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Climate Activist "The fact that women's organizations and their feminist and grassroots movements receive less than 1% of global philanthropic funding—and that is cut in half for women and girls of color—is completely maddening. The Everyday Feminist examines this mindset and helps us pivot to a world where supporting gender equality is critical and urgent. As a Foundation that invests in the power of women and girls, we look to Latanya for her guidance, wisdom, and courage always. She has a gift for making accessible her vast experience around the globe in leading women shifting power. She has taught us to be brave and thoughtful funders of the everyday feminist." ——THE ISABEL ALLENDE FOUNDATION
