Contained Empowerment and the Liminal Nature of Feminisms and
Activisms examines the processes by which activist successes are
limited, outlines a theoretical framing of the liminal and temporal
limits to social justice efforts as "contained empowerment." With a
focused lens on the third wave and contemporary forms of feminism,
the author investigates feminist activity from the early 1990s
through responses and reactions to the overturning of Roe v. Wade
in 2022, and contrasts these efforts with anti-feminist, white
supremacist, and other structural normalizing efforts designed to
limit and repress women's, gendered, and reproductive rights. This
book includes analyses of celebrity activism, girl power,
transnational feminist NGOs, digital feminisms, and the feminist
mimicry applied by practitioners of neo-liberal and anti-feminism.
Victoria A. Newsome concludes that the contained nature of feminist
empowerment illustrates how activists must engage directly with
intersectional challenges and address the multiplicities of
structural oppressions in order to breach containment.
