Feminisms: A Global History

Feminism is designed to unite under its banners and ideas the good half of humanity. The goals are exclusively ambitious and humane — to confront gender injustice in all its ugly forms. However, the 250 years of movement that historian... Lucy Delapp analyzes in her book have shown that it is not that simple — the feminist community is heterogeneous, the tasks and objectives can not only change at different historical stages, but also enter into dramatic contradiction with each other, and the problems faced by women from different social, ethnic, or religious backgrounds often differ so much that it is impossible to reach consensus without discussions.
