This ambitious volume brings together original essays on the U.S. women's movement with analyses of women's movements in other countries around the world. A comparative perspective and a common theme—feminism in social movement action—unite these voices in a way that will excite students and inspire further research. From the grassroots to the global, the significance of the U.S women's movement in the international arena cannot be denied. At the same time, the way in which international feminism has developed—in Asia, in Latin America, in Europe—has altered and expanded the landscape of the U.S. women's movement forever. These distinguished authors show us how.

What the book offers is an excellet set of essays on feminist organizing framed clearly within the social movement literature. The research findings are relevant not only for scholars interested in feminist mobilization, but for social movement scholars in general. -- Cristina Flesher Fominaya, Senior Lecturer, Department of Sociology, University of Aberdeen * International Feminist Journal of Politics, March 2009 * A good introduction for those seeking to learn more about the U.S. feminist movement and feminist organizing in several other countries. * Mobilization *
