About the Author

Tithi Bhattacharya is a renowned scholar, activist, and writer whose work bridges the intersections of feminism, Marxism, and global social justice movements. Born in Kolkata, India, and now based in the United States, she has dedicated her career to critiquing capitalism's impact on gendered labor and advocating for transformative political change. As a professor of South Asian history and the director of the Institute for the Humanities at Purdue University, Bhattacharya draws from her extensive research on imperialism, migration, and reproductive labor to illuminate the struggles of the working class worldwide. Her incisive analysis challenges mainstream feminist narratives, emphasizing solidarity across borders and the necessity of anti-capitalist frameworks for true emancipation. Co-author of the influential Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto, she continues to inspire activists and intellectuals alike with her bold, accessible prose that demands a radical reimagining of equality in the twenty-first century.
