"Black women, be ready. White women, get ready. Red women, stay ready, for this is our time and all must realize it." This is a call to action by Honey, the Phoenix Radio disc jockey in Lizzie Borden's 1983 film Born in Flames. The film's themes of violence, poverty, patriarchy, racism, heterosexism, the media and feminist politics and organizations are also the themes of Reclaiming the Future: Women's Strategies for the 21st Century.

"This book sparkles with insights and poses challenges that speak to where feminism should lead in the next century. It takes on the big questions of globalisation, diversity, technology, nationalism, and violence, and dares to imagine how women's activism can affect their future course. It is a welcome antidote to feminist pessimism. By bringing intersectional analysis of race, class, gender, and sexuality to concrete issues of strategy, it makes a powerful call for both the importance and the possibility of multi-cultural activism." -- Charlotte Bunch, Executive Director, Center for Women's Global Leadership, Rutgers University.
"Somer Brodribb has assembled an inspiring collection of writings about the future as seen through the prism of women's lives. Brodribb has cast a wide net and the rewards are plenty. Instead of the usual white male fantasies about the millennium, we learn about sexist and racist immigration policy, women in cyberspace, feminist radio programming in Costa Rica, the globalization of the economy and its impact on women and many other crucial topics. The authors help us imagine a future in which the perspectives of poor women, women of colour, homeless women and lesbians finally take centre stage. How necessary. How refreshing. Let's listen to these strong voices and create a world worth living in!" -- Rita Arditti, professor of Women's Studies, Union Institute & founding member, Women's Community Cancer Project
