30-Second Feminism : 50 Key Ideas, Events, and Protests, Each Explained in Half a Minute

Feminism is a global movement, developing with each cut and thrust of history to form a parallel 'herstory'. But what are the most important feminist ideas? What do terms like 'patriarchy', 'rape culture' and 'intersectionality' mean?

How have these terms emerged from historical conditions facing women around the world - from a lack of basic rights to harassment and intimidationonline? How has activism shaped those ideas and who have been the key activists?

This book traces the movement from its earliest beginnings through the suffrage movement, Women's Lib, the emergence of postcolonial feminism and into the present day. Important and seminal feminist texts and theories are explained, from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman to The Feminine Mystique to Whipping Girl, giving you everything you need to know about the ongoing fight for women's equality.
