Women's Fightback 35, Autumn 2025.

This summer has seen the return of far-right marches through our streets and town centres. Under the false pretence of protecting women, far-right mobs have targeted hotels housing asylum seekers and mosques. Their racist nationalism is increasingly normalised by a Labour government that stretches further to the right to accommodate the demands of Reform.

In this issue, we expose where the roots of women's oppression really lie: the system of capitalism. We explore what we mean by class struggle feminism; cover the fight for bodily autonomy – from trans rights to abortion access at home, abroad and across time; the relationship between women and the far right, and how socialists, feminists and trade unionists are fighting back. We cover revolutionary art from poetry to surrealism, and discuss how the way we talk about films, wellness and health sometimes echo broader trends towards social conservatism.
