"Byerly and Ross not only advocate but succeed in integrating
theory with empirical data, and may inspire a few readers to
undertake their own media action."
Linda Steiner, Rutgers University
"The first comprehensive attempt to theorize women's media
activism and its relationship to social change. An inspiring
chronicle of feminist interventions in media systems world-wide,
and a welcome bridge between scholarship and practice."
Margaret Gallagher, author of Gender Setting: New Agendas
for Media Monitoring and Advocacy
"The essays are forays into areas of media studies which
will only grow with the growing presence and innovations of women
in this central field of contemporary culture."
Midwest Book Review
"A useful outline of global feminist media scholarship for
students and practitioners. The book opens up new directions for
future research, tempering an engagement with historical
development of women's media activism with attention to the real
voices and experiences of current activists and
practitioners."
