Summary
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. Carmit Wiesslitz PhD, is Lecturer in the Department of Politics & Communications at Hadassah Academic College, Israel. She is the author of Internet democracy and social change: The case of Israel, published in 2019 by Lexington Books. She studies new media, democracy and civil society, and womens digital activism.
