How has feminism developed? What have feminists achieved? What can
we learn from the global history of feminism? Feminism is the
ongoing story of a profound historical transformation. Despite
being repeatedly written off as a political movement that has
achieved its aim of female liberation, it has been continually
redefined as new generations of women campaign against the gender
inequity of their age. In this absorbing book, historian Lucy Delap
challenges the simplistic narrative of 'feminist waves' - a
sequence of ever more progressive updates - showing instead that
feminists have been motivated by the specific concerns of their
historical moment. Drawing on an extraordinary range of examples
from Japan to Russia, Egypt to Germany, Delap explores different
feminist projects to show that those who are part of this movement
have not always agreed on a single programme. This diverse history
of feminism, she argues, can help us better navigate current
debates and controversies. A tour de force from an award-winning
expert, Feminisms shows that a rich relationship to the past can
infuse today's activism with a sense possibility and inspiration.
