"SlutWalk is a study of the global anti-rape movement of the same name, in eight nations
which organized marches: Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa,
the UK and US. It demonstrates the mainstream news' unprecedented support for SlutWalk,
suggesting that we may be finally moving away from an era in which feminism is seen
as dead, redundant or passe;. Yet despite this overwhelming support, mainstream coverage
was often shallow, particularly when compared to the feminist blogosphere, which provided
sophisticated and nuanced analyses of sexual assault and rape culture. The feminist
blogosphere was also a key site for critiquing patriarchal rape myths, and providing
'counter-memories' of the movement. This book examines representations of the movement
in mainstream news and feminist blogs, and documents the experiences, routines and
strategies of 22 organizers who were involved in the movement between 2011 and 2014.
In doing so, it presents a robust and original analysis of modern feminist activism
from various angles, and is a must-read for anyone interested in modern feminist protest
and campaigns. "
