Feminist Activism and Sexual Politics in Europe explores a new wave of feminist and gender-based activism in times of economic crisis in three different European societies – Britain, Estonia and Spain. These societies are marked by different histories, political cultures and institutions, but all three have experienced a severe economic crisis which has hit women and young people especially hard. The book investigates women’s and young people’s response to this crisis and their engagement with feminism, sexual and anti-austerity politics. It investigates their motivations for political activism and the ways in which history and memory influence political engagement.
This ground-breaking book combines feminist and social movement perspectives to introduce new knowledge about the types of activism in which young people take part. It will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and students in sociology, politics, social policy, social anthropology, women’s and gender studies, European area studies and policy studies.
