This textbook serves as an introduction to the extraordinary diversity of women's activism. The author's original research is supported by a range of writing to provide a powerful impression of the actions taken by groups of women from across the social and political spectrum. These women set out to make a difference to their locality, their country and sometimes the world. The chapters in this book argue that women are not a homogenous group, all fighting for the same rights on the same ticket. Women are both united and divided by their age, class, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, nationality, political persuasion, religious affiliation, and a range of ideological and psychological choices. The story of women's activism embodies stimulating accounts of progress and reversals, of commitment and uncertainty, of competing rights and challenging wrongs. It is not tidy or well-ordered: it is messy and unorthodox, and full of surprises.
