[Commlist] New book: Women’s Activism Online and the Global Struggle for, Social Change

Carmit Wiesslitz is excited to announce the publication of the new book 
(edited
  collection): Women’s Activism Online and the Global Struggle for
  Social Change. Publisher: Palgrave-Macmillan. The book is part of the
  book series:Palgrave Studies in Communication for Social Change.


  This book showcases the online activism of women’s groups around the
  world in the post-#MeToo era, and presents an overview of the
  diversity of its current expressions. The focus of this book extends
  beyond campaigns against rape culture to include women’s struggles on
  other political and environmental issues, such as the campaign against
  the radical right-wing in Austria.  Moreover, the book's chapters
  highlight the genuine complexity of the efforts of women activists who
  are not only challenging the patriarchal order within male-controlled
  digital platforms but are also challenging the hegemonic voices within
  the women's movements. The book’s case studies attest to the
  proliferation of digital campaigns aimed not only against
  discrimination of women but against discrimination based on their
  color, age, ethnicity, and nationality. The internet helps them to
  voice their agenda and strive for social change as well as to create
  both connective and collective identities.
