Inhaltsangabe

#MeToo, since its inception, has been a sensation. But did the movement die an inconsequential death? Contrary to popular belief, India has strong legal protections in place for women. However, gender is consistently secondary to class, caste and survival. Therefore, India can't afford - neither socially nor economically - a non-existent future of #MeToo. Beyond #MeToo: Ushering Women's Era or Just Noise? brings together accounts and analyses from around the world, exploring the movement against the broader backdrop of feminism and gender. With its in-depth research, case studies, survivor accounts and expert opinions, this book sheds light on the implication of the movement in the post #MeToo era. Does it truly usher in 'women's era' or do they merely create noise? What are these backlashes against #MeToo and should we be prepared for it? The book proves that gender post #MeToo is a matter of life and death.
