| This books examines global feminism. It focuses on both the local and the global struggles of today's feminist activists. Thereby it shows women's changing rights, treatment and their impact in the global world. It describes local experiences from feminist organisations in Turkey, Hong Kong, Post-Yugoslav countries, Finland, Africa and Western Europe. The authors also assess both the opportunities that transnationalism has created and the tensions it has inadvertently fostered. They also raise questions about global rights and transnational organizing. The authors also examine feminist strategies. Some authors are activists in the feminist movements and they reflect in their essays on their own experiences. The book also shows the contradictions of globalization for women's empowerment. I.
