Two experts from the Council on Foreign Relations chronicle the remarkable global impact of the #MeToo movement in this book with a foreword by movement founder Tarana Burke.

What The Reviewers Say

Emily Bowles,
Library Journal
Like the Me Too movement itself, this book's narrative is not linear; it draws its strength from the authors' awareness that global efforts are not monolithic or one-size-fits-all and that the democratization of communication platforms doesn't always make it easier to ignite positive change.

Kirkus
... an inspiring overview of burgeoning women’s movements in Brazil, China, Egypt, Tunisia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Sweden.

Publishers Weekly
... an eye-opening global tour of women’s activism in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Spotlighting activists in seven countries, the authors make clear the diversity of the movement.
