Book review: from global to grassroots: the European Union, transnational advocacy, and combating violence against women

From Global to Grassroots looks at how transnational activism aimed at combating violence against women is being used to instigate changes in local practice. Focusing on the case of the European Union, this study aims to provide empirical and intersectional feminist analysis of the transnational processes that connect global and grassroots advocacy efforts, with a particular emphasis placed on the roles played by regional organizations and networks. Olivia Mason finds that Celeste Montoya offers an accessible read through the use of examples from mainstream media.
