FEMINISM-A GRAPHIC GUIDE

Beskrivelse

In this unique, illustrated introduction, we’ll explore the early history of conscious struggle against sexist oppression, through the modern «waves» of feminism, up to present-day conversations about MeToo, intersectional feminism, and women’s rights in the Middle East. We’ll look at critical theory, popular action and the social and cultural forces that affect attitudes toward gender, women’s lives and the struggle for equality. And we’ll hear about the contributions of pioneers like Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir and Kimberle Crenshaw. As we’ll see, feminism is at once global, local and individual.
