Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A compelling, exhaustive scholarly history of international women’s movements and global or transnational feminisms. From the struggles for women’s education in Europe to the anti-slavery crusade in the United States to anti-colonial and nationalist struggles in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East, women have fought around the globe for social justice and their own empowerment. This monumental study of women’s resistance movements cross culturally brilliantly shatters the myth that feminism is a dying Western invention.”
