Details
In this passionate and timely account, Emily Maguire charts a course through the history of Australian feminism—from the First Wave to the Fourth, from suffragists to Riot Grrrls, from equal pay to #metoo. Along the way, she pays tribute to those who’ve spoken up and taken action in the face of ridicule, dismissal and violence.
This Is What a Feminist Looks Like shows us how we got to where we are today—and reminds us that some battles must be fought over and over again.
