"I can't support just any woman getting into power, because I think a system that leaves too many women in the shadows that condemns too many women to poverty or worse is not a feminist system, and I don't think you can call yourself a feminist if you're going to prop up that system."
"In the past I always wanted to be a broad church, I always thought any woman can be a feminist, but now I really am feeling maybe I've been radicalised."
"Walter argues that women will suffer most from the fires and floods to come but that mainstream western feminism isn't yet joining those dots sufficiently."
Natasha Walter reflects on her political radicalization, emphasizing that she no longer believes right-wing women can be feminists. She critiques a system that leaves many women in poverty and shadows. Walter expresses a hardened stance against far-right authoritarianism and the climate emergency, stating that her views have shifted from inclusivity to a more uncompromising feminism. Her new book, Feminism for a World on Fire, highlights the urgent need for feminism to address the climate crisis and its effects on women.
