Empowered : Popular Feminism and Popular Misogyny

In Empowered, Sarah Banet-Weiser develops a framework for understanding the dynamics between what she calls 'popular feminism and popular misogyny.' Banet-Weiser signals that to understand popular feminism, we must explore it through its relationship with the other side of the coin: that is, misogyny.... [Empowered is] interesting, well crafted, and well written."--Ea Høg Utoft "Taking seriously popular feminism and popular misogyny as sites of struggle, Banet-Weiser deftly addresses the increased popularity of feminism in the contemporary moment and the virulent backlash of misogyny situating both within a corporate, capitalist economy of visibility."--Jeremiah Favara "Women's Studies International Forum"
