How has feminism developed? What have feminists achieved? What can we learn from the global history of feminism?
Feminism is the ongoing story of a profound historical transformation. Despite being repeatedly written off as a political movement that has achieved its aim of female liberation, it has been continually redefined as new generations of women campaign against the gender inequity of their age.
In this absorbing book, historian Lucy Delap challenges the simplistic narrative of 'feminist waves' - a sequence of ever more progressive updates - showing instead that feminists have been motivated by the specific concerns of their historical moment. Drawing on an extraordinary range of examples from Japan to Russia, Egypt to Germany, Delap explores different feminist projects to show that those who are part of this movement have not always agreed on a single programme. This diverse history of feminism, she argues, can help us better navigate current debates and controversies.
A tour de force from an award-winning expert, Feminisms shows that a rich relationship to the past can infuse today's activism with a sense possibility and inspiration.

女性/性别研究在20世纪末成为显学，是20世纪60年代新女权运动的成果；在中国，它是80年代“妇女研究运动”的产物。本书以公开讲座为基础，上篇“新中国妇女研究”多与现实问题相关，从20世纪80年代至今，可见中国妇女研究发展的具体进程；下篇“性别研究与基础教育”侧重学理讨论和学科建设，与西方女性主义对应并相互呼应，在寻根溯源的基础上为中国妇女研究开掘本土资源。

《厌女》不是一部纯理论性著作，而是运用女性主义理论针对日本当代的各种社会现象的实践性分析。《厌女》处理了广泛的日本题材，其中既有文学性的，比如谈到小说家吉行淳之介、永井荷风、林真理子等，更多的则是社会性的。上野千鹤子谈到的许多现象，尤其是家庭的、婚姻的，在中国也有很类似的情况。知性的读者会从这些论述中获得强烈共鸣并得到理论上的指引。

From the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists comes a powerful new statement about feminism today--written as a letter to a friend.
A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a dear friend from childhood, asking her how to raise her baby girl as a feminist. Dear Ijeawele is Adichie's letter of response.
Here are fifteen invaluable suggestions--compelling, direct, wryly funny, and perceptive--for how to empower a daughter to become a strong, independent woman. From encouraging her to choose a helicopter, and not only a doll, as a toy if she so desires; having open conversations with her about clothes, makeup, and sexuality; debunking the myth that women are somehow biologically arranged to be in the kitchen making dinner, and that men can "allow" women to have full careers, Dear Ijeawele goes right to the heart of sexual politics in the twenty-first century. It will start a new and urgently needed conversation about what it really means to be a woman today.

作者亞倫．強森(Allan Johnson) 雖然身為白種中產階級異性戀男性，但因生逢六０年代的狂飆洗禮，受到女性主義的啟蒙並積極在日常生活中實踐，他對自己享有的性別、階級與族群特權做了深刻反省，並融合豐厚廣博的社會研究知識，在本書中細密鋪陳父權體制與個人行動者相互形塑的關係。與其他以提升女性性別意識為目的的書不同，這本書是寫給共同住在父權房子中的男人和女人看的。
