The Voices of #MeToo: From Grassroots Activism to a Viral Roar is a timely analysis of how marginalized voices are engaged or silenced in one of the most successful social media projects in recent history. Using a multi-generational approach, it will trace the history of misogyny and consider its meaning today - what is new and what is old - and explore the current state of feminism. Misogyny is a timely text that offers concrete guidance as we yearn to thrive in the egalitarian society we are (still, despite the latest setbacks) on the cusp of becoming.

Unlike most of the current 'wake up call' texts on feminism, this book is aimed toward the people who are already aware of today's misogyny. In 2017, almost every day provided a new example of a woman being silenced or otherwise damaged by misogyny.

Written for advocates of gender equality, Misogyny features: discussion of the various aspects of the misogyny, such as toxic masculinity and rape culture community feedback, given the value of what we can learn from others' lived experiences and a stress on activism, alongside tools to fight back against the phenomenon on the individual and political levels. Recent events prove that there is a strong hunger for a meaningful book to help activists understand the context of their concerns. Recently, though, new aspects of misogyny have emerged in our society that impact girls and women worldwide. Misogyny (hatred of women) is nothing new, of course. Impassioned but practical, this book dives into the topic of misogyny and proposes strategies for effective action. This book offers essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary American women's movement in all its diversity. These individuals' compelling life stories reveal their hard work to build flexible networks, bridge past and present, and forge global connections. Allowing their voices to take center stage through the use of in-depth oral history interviews, Seidman places their narratives in historical context and argues that they help explain how recent new forms of activism developed and flourished so quickly. Seidman presents insights from twenty-five feminist activists from around the United States, ranging in age from twenty to fifty.

But how does a new generation of activists understand the work of the movement today? How are their strategies and goals unfolding? What worries feminist leaders most, and what are their hopes for the future? In Speaking of Feminism, Rachel F. From the Women's Marches to the MeToo movement, it is clear that feminist activism is still alive and well in the twenty-first century.
