This book brings together a compelling collection of articles that delve into the multifaceted dimensions of feminist and LGBTQ organizing within contemporary social movements.Through an array of case studies spanning diverse countries and continents—including South Africa, India, China, Taiwan, Italy, Spain, Rwanda, Canada, Switzerland, Scotland, and the United States—the volume examines the complex and sometimes contradictory dynamics of emotions, the body, and intersectionality in feminist and LGBTQ movements. The anthology also addresses pressing contemporary issues in feminist and LGBTQ mobilization, such as transgender grassroots organizing and gestational surrogacy, alongside themes like strategy, repertoires of action, and collective memory. By exploring mobilizing dynamics in both authoritarian and democratic contexts, the collection sheds light on a wide range of feminist issues, including women’s health, marriage equality, body politics, and LGBTQ advocacy.This book is an essential resource for students, scholars, activists and practitioners engaged in the fields of gender studies, sociology, political science, and social movement studies. It will particularly appeal to those interested in feminist and LGBTQ activism, intersectionality, and the evolving strategies of grassroots organizing across diverse cultural and political landscapes.The chapters in this book were originally published in Social Movement Studies.
