En quoi l’histoire des sœurs Grimké peut-elle intéresser le lecteur français contemporain, non spécialiste de l’histoire américaine du XIXe siècle ? Retiendra-t-il d’elles des figures de l’antiesclavagisme radical ou des personnalités féministes avant-gardistes ? Une cartographie de l’histoire des deux soeurs, des lieux d’élection et des lieux de reniement illustre leur itinéraire, du Sud le plus traditionaliste à la Nouvelle-Angleterre, terroir du radicalisme réformiste, ainsi que la gestation de leur révolte personnelle, la formation de leurs prises de position et leur émancipation tant sociale que religieuse et intellectuelle. Plus que leur participation militante au débat public contre l’esclavage, leurs écrits, jamais encore traduits en français, éclairent ce parcours qui, tout en s’appuyant sur la cause de l’antiesclavagisme, développe un argumentaire féministe exemplaire dont le progressisme reste inégalé encore aujourd’hui. How can the story of the Grimké sisters be of interest to contemporary French readers, who are not particularly au fait with 19th century American history? Will they seem them as activists in the radical antislavery movement or pioneers for the feminist cause? The sisters’ story, including the destinations they selected or disowned, chronicles their journey, from a South mired in tradition to New England, the land of radical reform. It tells of the gestation of their own rebellion, of the hardening of their stance and of their social, religious and intellectual emancipation. More than the vocal contribution to the public debate against slavery, their writings, never before translated into French, shed light on this evolution which, together with the anti-slavery stance, places greater emphasis on feminist arguments, the progressivism of which remains unequalled even today.

Sara R. Farris examines the demands for women's rights from an unlikely collection of right-wing nationalist political parties, neoliberals, and some feminist theorists and policy makers. Focusing on contemporary France, Italy, and the Netherlands, Farris labels this exploitation and co-optation of feminist themes by anti-Islam and xenophobic campaigns as "femonationalism." She shows that by characterizing Muslim males as dangerous to western societies and as oppressors of women, and by emphasizing the need to rescue Muslim and migrant women, these groups use gender equality to justify their racist rhetoric and policies. This practice also serves an economic function. Farris analyzes how neoliberal civic integration policies and feminist groups funnel Muslim and non-western migrant women into the segregating domestic and caregiving industries, all the while claiming to promote their emancipation. In the Name of Women's Rights documents the links between racism, feminism, and the ways in which non-western women are instrumentalized for a variety of political and economic purposes.
