ABSTRACT
Focusing on a period that began in the late 1990s and stretches to the present, this chapter explores the complex and contradictory ways in which feminism has persisted in the twenty-first century. The overlapping and competing agendas presented by post-feminism, popular feminism, and networked feminism are explored. Key events and phenomena that have defined feminism since the early 2000s, including but not limited to hashtag campaigns such as #MeToo, the Women’s March, and SlutWalk, are also examined. This chapter further considers how the digital age has brought about new challenges and debates on long-standing feminist issues, such as pornography. Finally, this chapter explores how feminists, in theory and practice, have continued to challenge and rethink gender and its relationship to feminism in the twenty-first century.
