This book maps the new phase of global struggles over gender equality and sexual democratization: the ultraconservative mobilization against “gender ideology” and the feminist efforts that counter it. The book's argument is that the anti-gender campaigns that arose in Europe around 2010 are not simply a continuation of the antifeminist backlash since the 1970s, but part of a new political configuration. Opposition to “gender” has become a key element of right-wing rhetoric and a glue binding diverse reactionary forces together.
