Daniels and Skinner have produced a highly accessible, academically rigorous exploration of media feminist theory grounded in radical democracy and decoloniality. Mandatory reading for anyone interested in the future of media institutions, the importance of voice, South Africa?s unfinished democratic project, and the intersection with gender inequality. Possibly the most significant book this year.? ?Kathleen Magrobi, Quote This Woman+, Johannesburg, SA. ?An intersectional approach recognises that the challenges facing the media (misinformation, disinformation, sustainability issues, ongoing technological disruption) have a gendered impact. This critical book, with its feminist approach, not only puts these issues on the agenda but makes the clarion call that without women?s voices, our stories are not truly told and our media not truly free.? ?Paula Fray, fraycollege CEO, Johannesburg, SA. This edited collection examines women journalists? experiences and obstacles in South Africa?s (SA) democracy. They exercise power, and add a vital diversity, but they are routinely harassed in the online social media space of big tech companies such as Twitter and Facebook by populist and corrupt politicians and their supporters. Using SA as the case study, this book examines attempts to curb women journalists? freedom combining theory and first-hand accounts. The target audience for the book includes scholars of political philosophy, gender, media, communications, NGOs, media freedom activists and journalists.
