Beneath the nonstop cacophony of voices across social media, online
forums, and news outlets lie the stubborn facts at the heart of the
everyday struggles of women today: more than a third of single moms
live in poverty; the United States sees more maternal deaths than
anywhere else in the developed world; one in five women will be
raped in her lifetime; and women still make eighty cents for every
dollar earned by a man. Between these brutal statistics and the
ill-informed, often contentious public debate stand millions of
women who feel alienated, disaffected, or just plain worn out. In
the era of #MeToo, Trump, and online harassment, innovative
progressive feminist voices are more essential than ever. With her
latest book, Deborah Cameron considers feminism from all sides--as
an idea, as a theoretical approach, and as a political movement.
Written in the succinct, sharp style that has made Cameron's
feminist linguistics blog so popular, this short book lays out past
and present debates on seven key topics: domination, rights, work,
femininity, sex, culture, and the future. Feminism emphasizes the
diversity of feminist thought, including queer, women-of-color, and
trans perspectives. Cameron's clear and incisive account untangles
the often confusing strands of one of history's most important
intellectual and political movements. Broad in scope but
refreshingly concise, this book is perfect for anyone who needs a
straightforward primer on the complex history of feminism, a
nuanced explanation of key issues and debates, or strategic
thinking about the questions facing activists today.
