What brings people together to find hope and solidarity?

In \u003ci\u003eLean On Me\u003c\/i\u003e feminist thinker Lynne Segal goes in search of hope in her own life and in the world around her. She finds it entwined in our intimate commitments to each other and our shared collective endeavours. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSegal calls this shared dependence 'radical care'. In recounting from her own life the moments of motherhood, and of being on the front line of second-wave feminism, she draws upon lessons from more than half a century of engagement in left feminist politics, with its underlying commitment to building a more egalitarian and nurturing world. The personal and the political combine in this rallying cry to transform radically how we approach education, motherhood, and our everyday vulnerabilities of disability, ageing, and enhanced needs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnly by confronting head-on these different forms of interdependence and care can we change the way we think about the environment and learn to struggle -- together --against impending climate catastrophe.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynne Segal\u003c\/b\u003e was the Anniversary Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies in the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck College.
