Book review: voicing demands: feminist activism intransnational contexts, edited by Sohela Nazneen and MaheenSultan

Feminist voice is a key pathway to women’s empowerment, argue the contributors to this collection of analytical narratives, Voicing Demands: Feminist Activism in Transnational Contexts. Case studies set out to challenge the existing debates on women’s’ political engagement to uncover the key role of feminist activism in building and legitimising women’s voices in different political contexts. From South Asia, Latin America, South Africa, and the Middle East, women’s voices are calling out for recognition and change, but the question is, who’s listening? Katherine Williams recommends this rich read to development and gender studies students.
