Title: Feminism(s) in Early Childhood Using Feminist Theories in Research and Practice Introduction
Abstract: Feminism(s) in Early Childhood pays attention to the need for feminist discourses to examine how we educate young children and their families about gender and equality in everyday early childhood classrooms. This edited collection brings together international scholars from around the globe to examine how different feminist theories are being used in early childhood research, policy and pedagogy. The array of feminist discourses captured by the authors offer contextualised possibilities for disrupting dominant patriarchal beliefs and producing change. The authors address and challenge a range of gendered effects for children of how early childhood development, educational outcomes, access to resources and belonging to community are seen and assessed. In this way, the book contributes to the global effort to end gender-based inequalities and violence across local and global communities.
