Global Feminisms Since 1945 A Survey of Issues and Controversies

From the European and American feminist movements to those in the ex-Soviet Union and women's rights groups in Africa and East Asia, Global Feminisms Since 1945 examines the key economic, technological, sexual, reproductive, ecological and political debates.Smith, Bonnie G. is the author of 'Global Feminisms Since 1945 A Survey of Issues and Controversies', published 2000 under ISBN 9780415184915 and ISBN 0415184916.
