'Feminism' wrote Marie Shear in 1986, 'is the radical notion that
women are people'. But, simple and powerful though this definition is,
feminism is not a single, clear narrative. It doesn't begin with a
specific event at a particular moment in time, it can't be identified
with any one political organization or movement, and it isn't defined
by the contributions of a handful of great thinkers.
Here, Professor Deborah Cameron unpicks the various strands that
constitute one of history's most important intellectual and political
movements. In her clear and incisive account, she discusses
oppression, sexuality, violence, academic theory and practical
activism, shows how feminism can be a way of viewing the world and
provides an overview of its history.
In an era of #metoo, pay gap scandals and online harrassment, it's
impossible to deny that gender inequality is a fact of life. And as
long as that continues to be true, we will need to understand and
engage with the ideas and history of the feminist movement.
