Feminisms: A Global History by Lucy Delap
4.0
Rating : 4 ⭐
I think this book successfully delivered on its premise, and remained an engaging, thoughtful read throughout. I appreciated how it was divided by theme, rather than using the typical feminist waves. It made for a different way to engage with these feminist movements and see how some of them are linked. I also really liked learning about so many feminist thinkers and activists I had never heard of before. This book is written in a way that is very accessible, even to people who are not super knowledgeable about feminism. The main takeaway you will get from it is the importance of putting feminist movements in their proper context in order to understand, examine, judge, and/or learn from them. I think everyone could benefit from that reminder, especially when in this case you are presented with many valuable examples along the way. Overall, I enjoyed my time with this book.
