A Global History

Lucy Delap

“Delap’s telling is unique amongst histories of feminism. As it tears across the globe, Feminisms reveals familiar organizations, projects, agitators, and obstacles in new garb and places them alongside ones conventionally overlooked. Start with any chapter and savor every generous, undogmatic page.” —Bonnie G. Smith, Rutgers University

“This is an extraordinary and beautiful history of the global struggles against the injustices of gender. It brings the battles of feminists to life, not only through their ideas and campaigns, but also their dreams, songs, anger, and the material dimensions of their activism—their bloomers, badges, and veils, their refuges, workplaces, and borderlands.”—Hannah Dawson, King’s College London

The Secret Lives of Teachers

Anonymous

“This is one of the best books (or, in the author’s estimation, a ‘series of interlocking essays’) about being a teacher (about actually being one, with all its humiliations and petty jealousies, as well as its joys and triumphs) that I have ever read—about a life of service to others and, at times, in mere servitude. . . . The book asks us to reconsider assumptions about our work, our students, our goals, our limits, and our teaching lives.”—Newsletter of the Southern Association of Independent Schools
