Description

Empowered explores the complex relationship between popular feminism and popular misogyny in contemporary culture. Sarah Banet-Weiser examines how feminist discourses that emphasize self-confidence, body positivity, and individual achievement are often met with violent misogynistic phenomena such as mass harassment, assault, and institutional neglect.

The book looks at various examples of this backlash, including the responses to initiatives like Black Girls Code and the Always #LikeAGirl campaign. Banet-Weiser argues that popular feminism's commitment to visibility can limit its potential for collective power.
