Abstract
Description
While COVID-19 presents an existential challenge to White feminism, it is an opportunity for transnational feminism, which builds bridges between women’s struggles against patriarchy across multiple contexts. Building Bridges, Not Walking on Backs: A Feminist Economic Recovery Plan for COVID-19 is the world’s first feminist economic recovery plan for COVID-19, written by a collective of Hawaiʻi women and offering a new playbook for structural change, led by working-class, Native, and transnational values that emphasize the sacred importance of land and those qualities associated with the feminine, aikāne, and māhū.
