Feminism's origins have often been framed around a limited cast of
mostly white and educated foremothers, but the truth is that
feminism has been and continues to be a global movement. For
centuries, women from all walks of life have been mobilizing for
gender justice. As the last decade has reminded even the most
powerful women, there is nothing "post-feminist" about our world.
And there is much to be learned from the passion and protests of
the past. Historian Lucy Delap looks to the global past to give us
a usable history of the movement against gender injustice-one that
can help clarify questions of feminist strategy, priority and focus
in the contemporary moment. Rooted in recent innovative histories,
the book incorporates alternative starting points and new thinkers,
challenging the presumed priority of European feminists and ranging
across a global terrain of revolutions, religions, empires and
anti-colonial struggles. In Feminisms, we find familiar stories-of
suffrage, of solidarity, of protest-yet there is no assumption that
feminism looks the same in each place or time. Instead, Delap
explores a central paradox: feminists have demanded inclusion but
have persistently practiced their own exclusions. Some voices are
heard and others are routinely muted. In amplifying the voices of
figures at the grassroots level, Delap shows us how a rich
relationship to the feminist past can help inform its future.
