Byerly and Ross not only advocate but succeed in integrating theory with empirical data, and may inspire a few readers to undertake their own media action. Linda Steiner, Rutgers University The first comprehensive attempt to theorize women's media activism and its relationship to social change. An inspiring chronicle of feminist interventions in media systems world-wide, and a welcome bridge between scholarship and practice. Margaret Gallagher, author of Gender Setting: New Agendas for Media Monitoring and Advocacy The essays are forays into areas of media studies which will only grow with the growing presence and innovations of women in this central field of contemporary culture. Midwest Book Review A useful outline of global feminist media scholarship for students and practitioners. The book opens up new directions for future research, tempering an engagement with historical development of women's media activism with attention to the real voices and experiences of current activists and practitioners.
