Misogyny across Global Media argues that, although women's
experiences under misogyny are by no means universal, patriarchal
social and institutional systems facilitate gender-based hostility
across the globe. Contributors demonstrate how systemic misogyny
and power inequities are at the root of women's suffering at the
hands of misogyny, with consequences ranging from sexual harassment
to rape and even murder. This book provides an interdisciplinary
overview of systemic misogyny worldwide, analyzing specific cases
such as the controversial Child Marriage Act in Bangladesh, sexual
harassment in India's Bollywood culture, rape culture among
military forces in Jammu and Kashmir, the murder of female students
in Kenya, and femicide in Turkey. This collection discusses how
misogyny creates a clash of cultures between men and women, the
powerful and the oppressed, and the conservative and the liberal,
and uncovers the evils that are perpetrated against women worldwide
as a result of systemic misogyny. Scholars of gender studies, media
studies, and cultural studies will find this book particularly
useful.

Find strength in connection. The diagnosis of a chronic illness can
uproot your life and send you on a journey you would never have
imagined. With uncertainties and questions now swirling around your
head, you wonder if there will ever be calm again. When Chloe Cohen

new meaning. In Stronger Together, Chloe shares her story of how
she journeyed from her fear of needles to getting full sleeve
tattoos, from giving up her musical dreams to playing as a DJ, and
from struggling to function to truly thriving. Through her journey,
Chloe discovered how much the power of positive thinking can help a
path to healing. She now shows you how she made lemonade out of the
lemons life handed her and learned to live a fulfilling life with
her multiple sclerosis. Chloe’s story will help you: - Find hope,
strength, and inspiration to keep pushing forward - Realize there
is a community of people who can understand what you are going
through - Make connections with others who can relate to your
struggles No two people have the same experience living with MS,
