## Summary

Natasha Walter’s audiobook *Feminism for a World on Fire* argues that gains in women’s rights have stalled or reversed amid misogyny, violence and the climate crisis. The review says the book matters for its call to respond through collective action, rather than relying mainly on individual empowerment.

Walter describes how social media has become a source of misogyny despite its earlier role in organising, and says women face heightened risks from extreme weather because of caring responsibilities. She also points to deepening social divisions and rising violence against women, while finding hope in local groups and community initiatives. Walter narrates the 13-hour, 35-minute audiobook and urges more people to act together to bring about wider change.
