Award-winning journalist Meaghan Beatley takes us to the frontlines to tell inspiring stories of resistance and political imagination that will be a vital roadmap in the years to come. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Argentina, a national reckoning over abortion--sparked, in part, by an unholy alliance with a popular gossip show--ignited a nationwide movement that led to the legalization of abortion. Across the Andes, young feminists in Chile fueled a constitutional rewrite to confront deep structural inequality. In Spain, a high-profile sexual assault case cracked open a fierce public debate, redefining the meaning of consent. And in Mexico, balaclava-clad student protesters occupied a government building to force the epidemic of femicide into the national spotlight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe product of a decade of immersive reporting, Beatley captures the urgency and creativity of these movements and the women who led a motley crew of former guerrilla fighters, student occupiers, and mothers standing down narco violence. At once intimate and politically electric, \u003ci\u003eSex and Dissent\u003c\/i\u003e reframes the global struggle for equality--and offers a model for building power, solidarity, and radical democratic change.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67618571845875,"sku":"9780143138440","price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/7432\/5312\/files\/imageloader_70c00c35-2ae1-4de2-b791-61e693867be4.jpg?v=1790879531","url":"https:\/\/letterpressplay.com\/en-ca\/products\/sex-and-dissent","provider":"Letterpress PLAY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
