Reviews

“The book takes the reader on a journey around the world, holding up a gendered lens to activism and the pursuit of justice. The chapters cover women’s stories and a wide array of gendered struggles across the globe. Their stories reflect their perseverance and bravery. ... We outline how the book developed, the challenges we faced, and what we hope the book will contribute to our understanding of women activists around the world.” (Julia Zulver and Kiran Stallone, Politics & Gender, March 12, 2025)
