#MeToo and Feminism

“In this timely new edition, Karen Boyle’s lucid feminist analysis of the ‘long #MeToo moment’ provides a critical framework for challenging linear storytelling and interrogating the reductive media logics around gender-based violence. With great care and intellectual acuity, Boyle takes stock of ongoing discourses and activism around #MeToo, exploring advances but also showing how much work remains to be done.” - Tanya Horeck, Professor, Anglia Ruskin University, UK “This book is recommended for anyone who wants to understand the impact of #MeToo and the Me Too movement. This revised edition carefully traces and documents the journey that #MeToo has had on feminism’s quest to end sexual violence worldwide. Boyle skillfully weaves detail and academic evidence with a powerful and passionate argument. It is essential reading for people with an interest in the role of social media on shaping feminist understandings and responses to sexual violence.” - Nicole Westmarland, Professor, Durham University, UK
