@caitbeaumont.bsky.socialHere we frame the #SI & set out how contributors are 'attentive to ways women have used the term activist (or not)' & suggest that there is 'a spectrum of activist nomenclatures'. Emphasis is placed on ‘quiet’ forms of activism, resulting in new histories of #womensgrassrootsactivism in 🇮🇪 &🇬🇧.
