Public Feminism in Times of Crisis examines the public practice of
feminism in the age of social media. Rooted in a moment of acute
crisis (the Trump years and the Covid-19 pandemic), Leila Easa and
Jennifer M. S. Stager locate the foundations of public feminism in
history, journeying through broad swatches of time to uncover
connections between the centuries through art and literature and
culture. Each chapter focuses on what public feminists do in the
world: they gain control over an archive that otherwise contains or
excludes them; they recover their own stories and subjective
experiences, sometimes for activist use; they examine images and
language that construct women in patriarchal texts; they situate
the individual within a collective and the collective within an
individual; they confront the limitations of such situating due to
the containment of patriarchy and reclaim new systems of power in
response; and they resurface a deep history for the alternative
strategies of memorializing they employ. In navigating these
practices, the authors also attend to the material conditions of
writing histories, both in the past and in the writing of this
book, along with those shaping and enabling public feminist acts
and protests more broadly.
