Data Feminism
A new way of thinking about data science and data ethics that is informed by the ideas of intersectional feminism. Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments.But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil.This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom?Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? The narratives around big data and data science are overwhelmingly white, male, and techno-heroic.In Data Feminism, Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein present a new way of thinking about data science and data ethics—one that is informed by intersectional feminist thought. Illustrating data feminism in action, D'Ignazio and Klein show how challenges to the male/female binary can help challenge other hierarchical (and empirically wrong) classification systems.They explain how, for example, an understanding of emotion can expand our ideas about effective data visualization, and how the concept of invisible labor can expose the significant human efforts required by our automated systems. And they show why the data never, ever “speak for themselves.”Data Feminism offers strategies for data scientists seeking to learn how feminism can help them work toward justice, and for feminists who want to focus their efforts on the growing field of data science.But Data Feminism is about much more than gender. It is about power, about who has it and who doesn't, and about how those differentials of power can be challenged and changed.

White Feminism
‘Koa Beck writes with passion and insight about the knotted history of racism within women’s movements and feminist culture, past and present.Curious, rigorous, and ultimately generous, White Feminism is a pleasure and an education.’ Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of Good and Mad 'Intellectually smart and emotionally intelligent, Beck brilliantly articulates how feminism has failed women of colour and non-binary people.She illuminates the broad landscapes of systemic oppression and demands that white feminism evolve lest it continue to be as oppressive as the patriarchy.' Patrisse Khan-Cullors, cofounder of Black Lives Matter, author of When They Call You a Terrorist and joint recipient of the Sydney Peace Prize 'Don’t judge this book by its cover.Koa Beck knows that feminism includes all women and girls by definition, and is writing to overcome anti-feminist divisions that divide and defeat us.' Gloria Steinem A timely and impassioned exploration of how our society has commodified feminism and continues to systemically shut out women of colour. Join the important conversation about race, empowerment, and inclusion with this powerful new feminist classic and rousing call for change.Koa Beck, writer and former editor-in-chief of Jezebel, boldly examines the history of feminism, from the true mission of the suffragettes to the rise of corporate feminism with clear-eyed scrutiny and meticulous detail.She also examines overlooked communities, including Native American, Muslim, transgender, and more - and their difficult and ongoing struggles for social change. In these pages she meticulously documents how elitism and racial prejudice has driven the narrative of feminist discourse.She blends pop culture, primary historical research, and first-hand storytelling to show us how we have shut women out of the movement, and what we can do to change things for a new generation. Combining a scholar’s understanding with hard data and razor-sharp cultural commentary, White Feminism is a witty, intelligent and profoundly eye-opening book that will challenge long-accepted conventions and completely upend the way we understand the struggle for women’s equality.

What is part-time feminism?
Part-time feminism refers to the idea of only advocating for gender equality and women's rights when it is convenient or beneficial to an individual. This can manifest as only speaking out against sexism when it directly affects oneself, or only supporting feminist causes when it is popular or trendy. Part-time feminism fails to fully commit to the principles of gender equality and can undermine the progress of the feminist movement. It is important for individuals to consistently and actively support feminist ideals in order to create meaningful and lasting change.
-
Is feminism necessary?
Yes, feminism is necessary because it seeks to address and rectify the systemic inequalities and discrimination that women face in various aspects of society. It advocates for equal rights, opportunities, and treatment for women, and challenges the patriarchal norms and structures that perpetuate gender-based oppression. Feminism also promotes the empowerment and autonomy of women, and encourages a more inclusive and equitable society for all genders. Without feminism, the progress towards gender equality and justice would be hindered, and the voices and experiences of women would continue to be marginalized.
-
Is feminism exaggerated?
No, feminism is not exaggerated. It is a movement that seeks to achieve gender equality and address issues such as discrimination, violence, and unequal opportunities faced by women. Feminism has played a crucial role in advancing women's rights and challenging societal norms that perpetuate gender inequality. While progress has been made, there is still work to be done to achieve true equality for all genders.
-
Humanism or Feminism?
Both humanism and feminism are important movements that advocate for equality and respect for all individuals. Humanism focuses on the inherent dignity and worth of every human being, while feminism specifically addresses the historical and ongoing oppression of women. Both movements work towards creating a more just and equitable society, and can complement each other in their goals of promoting equality and human rights for all. Ultimately, both humanism and feminism are necessary for creating a more inclusive and fair world for everyone.

Feminism, Defeated
Feminism has been defeated. Once a politics, feminism is now a philosophy, an epistemology, a method.Once for women, it is now for everyone. Once in pursuit of liberation, it now seeks only inclusion. In Feminism, Defeated, Kate Phelan traces the depoliticization and ultimately, the defeat of feminism.She recovers the second-wave view of men and women as sex-classes, enemies, political kinds, a view more radical than the contemporary view of men and women as social constructs.She also describes how poststructuralism displaced this view and replaced it with another.In this view, the sex/gender binary constructs men and women, and excludes the gender nonconforming. As this view replaced the second-wave one, the injustice of men’s oppression of women was replaced by that of exclusion, and the goal of women’s liberation was replaced by that of inclusion.Thus did feminism become the trans-inclusionary movement as which we now know it, and Phelan shows that this shift was not the progression of feminism; it was the betrayal of it.In this highly original and persuasive study, she argues that the recent emergence of a new gender-critical feminism presents a moment of opportunity to reclaim feminism’s political project.

Anthropocene Feminism
What does feminism have to say to the Anthropocene?How does the concept of the Anthropocene impact feminism?This book is a daring and provocative response to the masculinist and techno-normative approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists, artists, humanists, and social scientists.By coining and, for the first time, fully exploring the concept of “anthropocene feminism,” it highlights the alternatives feminism and queer theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene.Feminist theory has long been concerned with the anthropogenic impact of humans, particularly men, on nature.Consequently, the contributors to this volume explore not only what current interest in the Anthropocene might mean for feminism but also what it is that feminist theory can contribute to technoscientific understandings of the Anthropocene.With essays from prominent environmental and feminist scholars on topics ranging from Hawaiian poetry to Foucault to shelled creatures to hypomodernity to posthuman feminism, this book highlights both why we need an anthropocene feminism and why thinking about the Anthropocene must come from feminism.Contributors: Stacy Alaimo, U of Texas at Arlington; Rosi Braidotti, Utrecht U; Joshua Clover, U of California, Davis; Claire Colebrook, Pennsylvania State U; Dehlia Hannah, Arizona State U; Myra J.Hird, Queen’s U; Lynne Huffer, Emory U; Natalie Jeremijenko, New York U; Elizabeth A.Povinelli, Columbia U; Jill S.

Islamic Feminism
Mulki Al-Sharmani examines the goals, approaches and methodologies which key scholars have adopted in their efforts at crafting an Islamic feminist discourse.The position of women in Islam remains deeply contentious.While conservative elements both within Islam and among its Western critics continue to claim that Islamic law and values are fundamentally incompatible with modern notions of gender equality, since the 1980s there has been a growing body of scholarship which seeks to make the case for feminism and gender justice within a distinctly Islamic paradigm. Encompassing scholars from both the Islamic world and the Muslim diaspora, ranging from the pioneering scholar activist Amina Wadud to Egypt's Omaima Abou Bakr, the book also looks at how these scholars have translated their work into meaningful political action through groups such as the global Musawah movement and the Egyptian Women and Memory Forum.Crucially, Al-Sharmani also shows that Islamic feminism is a phenomenon which extends far beyond academia.Drawing on the author's own extensive research and interviews with women in Egypt, the UK, Malaysia, Finland and elsewhere, the book explores how ordinary Muslim women in both the West and the Islamic world are increasingly asserting their autonomy and challenging patriarchal interpretations of their religion, as well as exploring the linkages between Islamic feminist scholarship and the realities of these women's lived experiences.In the process, Islamic Feminism not only uncovers new directions for Islamic feminist scholarship, but upends many of our preconceptions about Islam and the role of women within it.
