The Oh, Hello and

welcome to Behind the News, my name is Doug Henwood.

Two segments today, no surprise there.

In moments, Chincia Ruusa and Tithi Badacharya

will explore a feminism for the 99%. And then at the bottom of the

at the bottom of the hour Sam Stein will talk about how cities are

planned with special attention to New York.

Cheryl Sandburg Hillary Clinton and pussyhats made a certain kind of

feminism famous, the

feminism of the upper and upper middle class, which would be fine with the existing

systems of power and hierarchy if only women held half the top slots. A different

kind of feminism is represented by my first

guest Chincie Urutse and Tithi Batacharya. They along with Nancy Fraser

are out with a new volume from Verso, Feminism for the 99% a manifesto.

It's a short readable introduction to a far more radical view of the world.

Chinsie Urutse is an associate professor of philosophy at the new school,

and Tithy Batacharya directs the Global Studies Program at Purdue.

We're just a little past International Women's Day.

There were a bunch of marches and strikes around the world.

Alas, that passed us by mostly here in the United States but give us some sense of the

scope of what happened on International Women's Day.

Yeah, this is Chincia.
