Description
The Routledge Global History of Feminism provides an expansive examination of feminist movements, ideologies, and activism across the globe. Edited by Bonnie G. Smith and Nova Robinson, this scholarly work transcends traditional Western-centric narratives to explore feminism’s diverse manifestations throughout history and across different cultures and regions.
The book traces the intellectual roots of feminism while documenting the lived experiences of women activists and their contributions to social, political, and economic change. By adopting a global perspective, it demonstrates how feminist movements have both influenced and been shaped by local contexts, colonial histories, and international exchanges of ideas. The volume addresses key themes including women’s rights, gender equality, reproductive justice, and the intersectionality of feminist struggles.
Essential for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complex history of feminism beyond Western frameworks, this comprehensive work offers valuable insights into how women worldwide have challenged patriarchal systems and fought for equality.
