Feminism: A Global History tells the story
of feminisms that are not defined by one single type of feminism, which is the eurocentric, acknowledging many other types of feminisms and gender equality fights. About how we can gather all these feminisms into one purpose: to achieve gender justice
She talks about a lot of things inside the feminist movements: idea of gender, if men can be feminists, the variants of feminism, the ‘woman question’, feminism in politics, feminism as capitalism material, women’s culture and the history of female empowerment and fight for justice, besides other topics.
Lucy Delap really committed to study for this book, and I have so much respect for it. Except that maybe she did exclude some narratives, which I’m not in place to talk about, although she did dug out more than a lot of other white-straight-centered feminist books. The author could’ve brought more trans and non-binary representation, for sure.
I did wish she could focus a little more on fewer topics; there was just so much information.
Overall, it taught me a lot. A nice read to know more about feminism all around the world.
