Reclaiming Feminism: Challenging Everyday Misogyny

Miriam E. David (UCL Institute of Education)

Since second-wave feminism of the 1970s, women’s rights and opportunities in education and employment have increased across the globe, but has equality, whether social, political or legal, really been achieved?

In this fascinating book, Miriam E. David, a well-known and influential feminist in higher education, celebrates the achievements of international feminists as activists and scholars. She provides a critique of the expansion of global higher education masking their pioneering zeal and zest for knowledge.

Looking at the changing zeitgeist, David contends that feminism has yet to have an enduring influence, despite how generations of women have felt empowered. She illustrates the power of patriarchal social relations and how everyday sexism or misogyny is keenly felt.

This impassioned book asks whether a feminist-friendly future is possible, or indeed, desirable.
