Feminism wrote Marie Shear in 1986, is the radical notion that women are people . But, simple and powerful though this definition is, feminism is not a single, clear narrative. It doesn t begin with a specific event at a particular moment in time, it can t be identified with any one political organization or movement, and it isn t defined by the contributions of a handful of great thinkers.
Here, Professor Deborah Cameron unpicks the various strands that constitute one of history s most important intellectual and political movements. In her clear and incisive account, she discusses oppression, sexuality, violence, academic theory and practical activism, shows how feminism can be a way of viewing the world and provides an overview of its history.
In an era of #metoo, pay gap scandals and online harrassment, it s impossible to deny that gender inequality is a fact of life. And as long as that continues to be true, we will need to understand and engage with the ideas and history of the feminist movement.
