It provides a non-US-centric introduction to gender studies covering topics like 19th-century African Chinese and Arab movements and foregrounds Black and Indigenous feminisms. Several case studiesâthe Aztecs and the Spanish Agriculture and Gender Beauty and Authority Racial Stereotypes and US Voting Rightsâreveal how the interconnected architecture of privilege and oppression affects issues like globalization media and the environment. Feminist theories about race sexuality class disabilities and more culminate in step-by-step instructions for applying intersectionality and practicing activism.
