A Times Higher Education Book of the Week
Under certain conditions, the right small simple actions can produce large and complex “butterfly effects,” as the #MeToo movement has shown. Thirty years after Catharine A. MacKinnon won the U.S. Supreme Court case establishing sexual harassment in law, this timely collection captures MacKinnon in action: the creative and transformative activism of an icon. Butterfly Politics provides the grounding for #MeToo, explains its momentum, and proposes more legal interventions that could have further butterfly effects on women's rights.
“Sexual Harassment of Working Women was a revelation. It showed how this anti-discrimination law—Title VII—could be used as a tool… It was the beginning of a field that didn't exist until then.”
—Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“MacKinnon adapts a concept from chaos theory [to show how] small actions can produce major social transformations.”
—New York Times
“MacKinnon is radical, passionate, incorruptible and a beautiful literary stylist… Butterfly Politics is a devastating salvo fired in the gender wars.”
—The Australian
“MacKinnon is encouraging…precise engagement, principled creativity, imagination, instinct and adaptability: small actions in a collective context producing systemic changes.”
—Lawfare
