Synopsis

Periodical Feminisms investigates the unique role of feminist magazines in shaping the diverse moods and modes of women’s activism from 1968 to the present day.

  • Showcases the diversity of women’s activism in the UK
  • Demonstrates how feminist magazines create activist communities and identities
  • Uses affect theory to offer new insights into how periodicals forge activist communities and identities
  • Examines how media technologies both reflect and shape feminist debate
In this book, the authors bring to light an exciting range of previously unexplored material from feminist periodicals, in addition to original interviews with the women who made and read them, as they examine the dynamic relationship between feelings, politics and social change. From anger and loneliness to joy and hope, this book makes a powerful case for understanding the shared and contested feelings that have mobilised generations of women activists in the UK.
