The book is structured into three thematic sections that address different dimensions of gender inequality. The first, "Presence/Absence of Women," examines the role of women in the university sphere and in disciplines such as the visual arts and music, highlighting both the progress made and the persistent gaps in recognition. The second section, "Men and Feminisms," analyzes male resistance to feminism and explores the need to rethink masculinities from the perspective of equality, addressing topics such as new masculinities, men's groups for equality, and the prevention of gender-based violence. Finally, "Gender Experiences" collects the testimonies of several graduating classes of the Master's in Gender, Identity, and Citizenship, enriching the work with personal experiences and applied knowledge.

Editorial Review
Generations for Equality presents itself as a choral work that succeeds in combining academic rigor with the warmth of personal testimonies. Its main value lies in making visible the process of institutionalizing feminist studies at the University of Huelva, offering a replicable model for other institutions. The structure into three thematic blocks allows for a flexible and enriching reading, suitable for both specialists and those new to the subject. It is a necessary publication for understanding how feminist knowledge is constructed from the university and how it can transcend into the social sphere.
