Just in time for Women’s History Month, a new book tracing the history of feminism.
Author Koa Beck argues that feminism, as many may think of it, is not a grassroots movement working for societal change as it is as much as it is a brand with a corporate focus.

“White Feminism” is our March selection for “Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club.”
