Reviews

"""This is a book that has been needed for a long time. Rarely have I seen an analysis of women's roles in contemporary union organizing placed in an international context."" Nancy A. Naples, author of Feminism and Method: Ethnography, Discourse Analysis, and Activist Research ""Making Feminist Politics is empirically rich and analytically nuanced. I do not know of another book with this breadth of focus. Ranging from the family to global governance and from internal politics in an international union to coalition-building at the World Social Forum, this is fascinating material."" Catherine Eschle, co-author of Making Feminist Sense of the Global Justice Movement"
