Review:
'This is a must read for all activists, policy makers and scholars who care about the future of equity and justice in the world.' Charlotte Bunch, Rutgers University 'A reflection on the international women's movement by one of its most important leaders is both timely and stimulating.' Noeleen Heyzer, UNIFEM 'A fascinating book where the researcher and the activist come together to tell the history of a revolutionary movement that changed the way we think about gender and sexuality, social justice and human rights, the political economy and power.' Carmen Barroso, Western Hemisphere Region 'This is a breath-taking attempt at documenting the challenges and triumphs of the Global Women's Movement over the past 30 years, and there are few women in this movement more qualified than Peggy Antrobus to take this on.'
