Capturing voices and experiences from around the world, Women and Girls Rising – Progress and resistance around the world, edited by Ellen Chesler and Terry McGovern, documents the modern history of the global women’s movement – its many accomplishments and setbacks. Drawing together prominent pioneers and contemporary policymakers, activists, and scholars, the volume interrogates where and why progress has met resistance and been slowed, and examine the still unfinished agenda for change in national and international policy arenas.
