Editorial review
Diverse Feminisms is a brief but significant work that captures the richness of an institutional gathering committed to plurality. Its main value lies in making visible perspectives often absent from mainstream feminist discourses, offering the reader an opportunity to reflect on the diversity within the movement itself.
