About The Feminism Book

Delve into the core concepts of feminism with "The Feminism Book" by DK, an essential guide that explores over 100 pivotal ideas, organisations, and events shaping the feminist movement. This comprehensive study traces the subject from its historical origins, through the impactful suffrage campaigns of the late 19th century, right up to contemporary developments like the Everyday Sexism Project and the #MeToo movement. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the intellectual foundations of feminist thought, examining the contributions of crucial figures from Simone de Beauvoir to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and appreciating the broader social, cultural, and historical contexts of their influence.

Part of DK’s acclaimed Big Ideas series, this book makes complex topics accessible through authoritative yet easy-to-understand text and bold, engaging graphics. Discover key moments such as the campaigns for birth control, the coining of "intersectionality," and the true meaning of "postfeminism." Packed with inspirational quotations, eye-catching infographics, and clear flowcharts, "The Feminism Book" is a must-have for anyone interested in gender studies, social science, or the ongoing fight for equality. It's an ideal resource for both novices seeking an introduction and experts looking to refresh their knowledge.
