Abstract:
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.



  The book offers a holistic and wide-angled perspective on activism and
  it’d be a great fit to not only women's studies courses but also to
  topic courses  on political organizing and democratic participation in
  general, social movements, alternative media, online communities and
  online campaigns.
