What is feminism? Why are we still talking about it, and what can it tell us about ourselves, our societies and prejudices? In this unique, illustrated introduction, we'll explore the early history of conscious struggle against sexist oppression, through the modern "waves" of feminism, up to present-day conversations about MeToo, intersectional feminism, and women's rights in the Middle East. We'll look at critical theory, popular action and the social and cultural forces that affect attitudes toward gender, women's lives and the struggle for equality. And we'll hear about the contributions of pioneers like Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir and Kimberlé Crenshaw. As we'll see, feminism is at once global, local and individual. Written by Cathia Jenainati with illustrations from Judy Groves and Jem Milton, Feminism: A Graphic Guide engages with the heated debates taking place in our homes, workplaces and public spaces — and the work still to be done.

      This graphic guide, from Jenainati (Head of the School of Cross-Faculty studies, Univ. of Warwick) and artists Groves and Milton, to the past, present, and possible future of feminism explores the numerous varieties of feminist thought and action dating before and after the watershed activism of the 1960s. Similar to its companion volumes Queer and Gender, this latest work distills tricky academic theories into accessible text, combined with quotes from pertinent luminaries and black-and-white illustrations that provide faces to those names as well as context. Reader less familiar with the topic of feminism and those who struggle with the concept as presented in classrooms will appreciate the assist; more knowledgable audiences will be surprised by how much ground the book covers, even if they have issues with the content, which is oft-provocative but suitable for most. VERDICT No single volume could encapsulate such a complex subject--thankfully there are primers such as this to give readers the essential basics, plus suggestions as to how they might continue their learning. Recommended for all nonfiction collections with an area for feminism.--J. Osicki, Saint John Free P.L., Saint John, NB
