How has feminism developed? What have feminists achieved? What can we learn from the global history of feminism? Feminism is the ongoing history of a profound historical transformation. Despite repeated views supporting it as a political movement that has achieved the goal of women's liberation, it is continually redefined as new generations of women strive against the gender inequality of their time.
In this fascinating book, historian Lucy Delap challenges the one-dimensional narrative of "waves of feminism" - a sequence of ever more progressive updates - showing that feminists have been mobilized by the specific concerns of their historical moment. Examining an extraordinarily rich array of examples from Japan to Russia, from Egypt to Germany, Delap highlights different feminist agendas, demonstrating that those involved in this movement have not always agreed on a single agenda.
This diverse history of feminism, she argues, can help us better navigate current debates and controversies. A work that impresses from an award-winning expert, feminism shows that a rich relationship with the past can inspire today's action with a sense of possibility.
