Misogyny across Global Media argues that, although women’s
experiences under misogyny are by no means universal, patriarchal
social and institutional systems facilitate gender-based hostility
across the globe. Contributors demonstrate how systemic misogyny and
power inequities are at the root of women’s suffering at the hands
of misogyny, with consequences ranging from sexual harassment to rape
and even murder. This book provides an interdisciplinary overview of
systemic misogyny worldwide, analyzing specific cases such as the
controversial Child Marriage Act in Bangladesh, sexual harassment in
India’s Bollywood culture, rape culture among military forces in
Jammu and Kashmir, the murder of female students in Kenya, and
femicide in Turkey. This collection discusses how misogyny creates a
clash of cultures between men and women, the powerful and the
oppressed, and the conservative and the liberal, and uncovers the
evils that are perpetrated against women worldwide as a result of
systemic misogyny. Scholars of gender studies, media studies, and
cultural studies will find this book particularly useful.
