Feminist Pedagogy, Practice, and Activism: Improving Lives for Girls and Women

Feminist programming, no matter the venue, provides opportunities for young girls and women, as well as men, to acquire leadership skills and the confidence to create sustainable social change. Offering a wide-ranging overview of different types of feminist engagement, the chapters in this volume challenge readers to critically examine accepted cultural norms both in and out of schools, and speak out about oppression and privilege. To understand the various pathways to feminism and feminist identity development, this collection brings together scholars from education, women's studies, sociology, and community development to examine ways in which to integrate feminism and women's studies into education through pedagogy, practice, and activism.
