Right-Wing Women

"Right-Wing Women is an invaluable, unprecedented collection of comparative, interdisciplinary essays. It illuminates both the scope of right-wing projects, and the centrality of women, gender, and sexuality to them." -- Amrita Basu, editor of The Challenge of LocalFeminisms: Women's Movements in Global Perspective
"In these essays, upstarts and activists break out of conventional stereotypes about right wing women, and force us to re-think our assumptions about political activism and women's roles. Writing from almost as many disciplinary perspectives as national contexts, the authors have produced a pioneering work about global gender politics." -- Claudia Koonz, author of Mothers inthe Fatherland: Women, the Family, and Nazi Politics
"The essays in Right-Wing Women raise profound questions about the relationships between women, nationalism, and feminism. The book not only explores and expands this under-researched field of feminist and political scholarship, but it attempts to do this in a truly global way." -- Nira Yuval-Davis, author of Gender and Nation
"If ever a collection showed the necessity of focusing on women's agency, it is Right-Wing Women. This book is also a good read, one that will appeal to specialists and ordinary readers alike." -- Temma Kaplan, author of Crazyfor Democracy: Women in Grassroots Movements
