Building on prior research on right-wing populism and gender, the contributions pursue a feminist perspective on right-wing populism(s), which also emphasizes the core role of neoliberal capitalism for its current blossoming, and considers feminist practices of resistance. A highly valuable reading for understanding the current trends in their complexity. --Julia Roth author of Occidental Readings, Decolonial Practices: A Selection on Gender, Genre, and Coloniality i
