This collection deals with issues from the 'young women's movement'. The essays emphasize a perspective on social justice and power imbalances centered on race, gender, and globalization. The first section focuses on media and culture and explores the images of women in hip-hop music, the girl zines, theater, and technology. The second section emphasizes global issues, including the impact of technology and the globalization of hypercapitalism on the type of work women do, the growing incarceration of women and their use as nonpaid workers, reproductive rights, domestic violence, and equal pay for equal work.
