We’re kicking off our 2026 book club with Securing Women’s Economic Security, Safety, and Freedom by Australian researcher Zoe Staines — a sharp, compassionate, and deeply grounded exploration of what Universal Basic Income could mean for women’s lives in Australia.
Drawing on interviews with women across the country, Staines connects economic security to real freedom: the freedom to leave unsafe situations, to care, to rest, and to live with dignity. It’s rigorous without being dry, and unapologetically centred on women’s lived experience — exactly the kind of policy thinking we need more of.
The book is free to download here:
