This Is Not a Feminism Textbook

The best feminist scholars from around the world on key debates and concerns ranging from motherhood, home and family to media, technology, and medicine.

The work of feminism to help create a more just and equal society is not yet done. Despite the many advances made so far, women still experience violence and inequality in the home and workplace, and in many parts of the world, women’s bodies and behavior are strictly controlled and readily punished. In the current context, in which technology is advancing faster than the pace of social change, feminism and associated political movements are more important than ever.

This Is Not A Feminism Textbook brings together the best feminist scholars from around the world and distils their expertise for a general reader. In engaging, jargon-free, accessible prose, the reader is offered a map of the key debates and concerns ranging from motherhood, home and family to media, technology, and medicine. This book is for everyone who is curious about the sex/gender distinction, the relation between gender and other aspects of identity, and the meaning of post- and popular feminism. Are smart homes really smart? Will technology save the world? This book informs the current generation so that they can guide the next.
