About the Book
Inspired by the Periodic Table of Elements, The Periodic Table of Feminism applies scientific logic to the history of feminism around the world to highlight the elemental women who have energized it.Book Synopsis
A cleverly nerdy review of feminist history told through the wide range of women who have shaped it, from Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Oprah to Beyoncé and The Spice Girls. A quirky, intelligent, and stylish review of the feminist movement, told through the stories of standout figures who have shaped it, The Periodic Table of Feminism charts the impact of female leaders from Betty Friedan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg to Michelle Obama and Oprah. Using the periodic table as a categorical device, the featured women are divided into "chemical" groups to show how the women and the battles they fought speak to each other across time and geography: Precious Metals: the face of the movements, like Simone De Beauvoir and Gloria Steinem Catalysts: Pioneers and fire-starters, like Susan B. Anthony and Sheryl Sandberg Conductors: The organizers, like Sojourner Truth and Rebecca SolnitReview Quotes
