But how were these activists-who sought radical social change through many ideologies-able to break down oppressions and obstacles within the movement? And in what ways did the movement perpetuate status-quo structures of inequality?  Are We the 99%? is the first comprehensive feminist and intersectional analysis of the Occupy movement.
