"Sexual Harassment in the UK Parliament: Lessons from the #MeToo Era" by Christina Julios is a comprehensive book that examines the impact of the #MeToo movement on the male-dominated culture of legislatures, with a focus on the UK Parliament. Julios analyzes specific cases of sexual harassment in British politics and explores the broader sociocultural, historical, and legal contexts of sexual harassment in British society. The book also discusses the efforts made by the UK Parliament to address sexual harassment and reflects on the lessons learned from the #MeToo movement. Overall, this well-documented book provides valuable insights into the intersection of gender and power in politics and contributes to the scholarship on gender and politics in the UK and the Global North.

It is with great pleasure that we present this special issue showcasing contemporary feminist political research, theories and practices in Canada. In an era characterized by global movements and numerous transformations that range from the economic to the environmental, the political to the cultural, from macro- through to micro-scales, including complex debates about the fluidity of gender, and where “backlash” against the symbols and agents of past feminist activism is rife, this special issue queries where do we find feminism(s) today? The responses to this question, as well as to the interrogation of the place of gender in the discipline of political science more generally, are undoubtedly diverse and contested. The collective efforts contained in this special issue feature a mere taste of the rich range of thought-provoking recent scholarship on feminisms. And even with this necessarily condensed portrayal (the articles in this issue are shorter than is normally the case to allow for more work to be featured), the special issue is ground-breaking in that it marks the first time the Canadian Journal of Political Science/Revue canadienne de science politique has dedicated an entire issue to topics of gender and feminisms.
