Review Quotes: "A provocative, timely, and original text challenging normative understandings of the epistemologies and directionalities of the #MeToo movement...Foregrounding transnational feminist frameworks of comparing, decentering, and recognizing, #MeToo and the Politics of Transnational Feminism offers a brilliant analysis of #MeToo as a form of social media activism anchored in the materiality of gendered violence in the Global South and North. This book belongs on feminist bookshelves, classrooms and organizing spaces."--Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism without Borders, Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity
