The contemporary tactics of millennial feminists who are part of an
active movement for social change In 2014, after a young man
murdered six students at the University of California, Santa
Barbara, and then killed himself, the news provoked an eye-opening
surge of feminist activism. Fueled by the wide circulation of the
killer's hateful manifesto and his desire to exact "revenge" upon
young women, feminists online and offline around the world clamored
for a halt to such acts of misogyny. Despite the widespread belief
that feminism is out-of-style or dead, this mobilization of young
women fighting against gender oppression was overwhelming. In
Finding Feminism, Alison Dahl Crossley analyzes feminist activists
at three different U.S. colleges, revealing that feminism is alive
on campuses, but is complex, nuanced, and context-dependent. Young
feminists are carrying the torch of the movement, despite a climate
that is not always receptive to their claims. These feminists are
engaged in social justice organizing in unexpected contexts and
spaces, such as multicultural sororities, student government, and
online. Sharing personal stories of their everyday experiences with
inequality, the young women in Finding Feminism employ both
traditional and innovative feminist tactics. They use the Internet
and social media as a tool for their activism-what Alison Dahl
Crossley calls 'Facebook Feminism.' The university, as an
institution, simultaneously aids and constrains their fight for
gender equality. Offering a stunning and hopeful portrait of
today's young feminist leaders, Finding Feminism provides insight
into the contemporary feminist movement in America.
