The drive for gender equality is not a recent phenomenon with the
UN cited as occupying a central role for legislative change
globally. Gender inequality persists in most countries and although
it appears that we have a long way to go, this collection
contributes to a feminist scholarship that highlights a
destabilising of established patterns of behaviour and gender
relations. It acknowledges the multiplicity of discrimination but
locates women at the centre of a dialogue and presents key
interventions in gender and race matters. For the contributors,
gender serves as an analytical framework and covers the experiences
of women in different global settings related to education,
political activism, corporeal violence, identity, sexuality, and
poverty. The use of poetry and literature provides a powerful voice
for women against exclusion and recognises their contribution to
society. This collection is innovative in not only relating
experiential evidence but also putting forward how women are able
to challenge oppression through circumventing rules, roles,
obligations and prejudice through a powerful agency.
