      abstract = {This book showcases the online activism of womens 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 womens 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 books 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.
