'YOU'LL BE MOVED BY THE BRAVE WOMEN IN AWAKENING' MALALA YOUSAFZAI
'AWAKENING GOES WHERE NO BOOK HAS GONE BEFORE. INSPRIRING,
INSIGHTFUL, PROFOUNDLY MOVING' HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON #MeToo
#EnaZeda #MieuPrimeiroAssedio #tystnadtagning #ArewaMeToo All over
the world, #MeToo inspired generations of women to fight in new
ways for their rights. Yet so far, the news is dominated by
narratives of celebrities and politicians in the US and UK. These
are the stories you haven't heard. Stories of campaigning in the
face of censorship, arrest and murder. Stories from favelas, film
sets and feted institutions. Stories of passing groundbreaking laws
against sexual harassment. For these women, #MeToo was not the
beginning - and it is not the end. In Nigeria, women rise up
against systemic abuse in universities and megachurches. Chinese
activists drown out internet censors and defy arrests. In Egypt,
protestors remain tenacious even as their president calls them
terrorists. Pakistani actresses confront accused predators in
court. Brazilian women run for office at the risk of intimidation
and murder. And in Sweden, a country prided on its commitment to
gender equality, the movement rocks citizens to their core. Some
had been campaigning for years on feminist causes; some were
galvanised by a movement that spread like wildfire on social media.
Awakening brings together personal stories with expert political
analysis to champion their courage, understand their societies and
gauge the battles yet to be won. It will open your eyes to the
greatest global reckoning on women's rights in history.
