The idea of feminism being everywhere and nowhere is a perfect description of the contemporary movement. Jo Reger provides badly needed new data on a movement that is still very much alive. By looking at three contemporary communities of feminists, Reger shows how feminism is practiced and shaped within different political and cultural contexts. This book is an extremely welcome addition to the literature on contemporary feminism. --Suzanne Staggenborg, Professor of Sociology, University of Pittsburgh Contesting multiple myths circulating in popular culture, Everywhere and Nowhere documents the nuances and diverse contexts of feminism in the contemporary era. Exploring the factors that contribute to its flourishing and the manifold forms feminism takes, Jo Reger paints a rich portrait of vibrant modes of activism that transform identities, communities, and cultural values. --Mary Hawkesworth, Professor, Department of Women's and Gender Studies, Rutgers University

<br> Jo Reger asks the big questions: Is feminism in paradox or peril? Does its diffusion signal success or decline? Marked by intellectual rigor, peppered with up-to-the-minute feminist insight and sass, the book tells the story of a political generation that often honors, frequently builds upon, and sometimes rejects its past. In contrast to tales portraying all young feminist activism as thinly disguised enlightened sexism, or a contemporary movement wholly divorced from its past, Everywhere and Nowhere looks beyond the waves to reveal an ongoing struggle of inclusivity, anti-racism, gender, and sex. --Deborah Siegel, author of Sisterhood, Interrupted <br><p><br> Everywhere and Nowhere contests multiple myths circulating in popular culture by documenting the nuances and diverse contexts of feminism in the contemporary era.
