Celeste Montoya is Assistant Professor in the Women and Gender Studies Program at the University of Colorado-Boulder.

From Global to Grassroots represents a cutting-edge effort to assess a crucial area of state action for promoting gender equality: violence against women. Celeste Montoya crafts and conducts a powerful multi methods study of VAW policy in the European Union that enhances our understanding of women's movements and gender policy as they span the local, national, and transnational levels. Montoya's stellar analysis provides larger lessons as well about some of the major social questions of our day: democratic performance, intersectionality, multi-level governance, and policy effectiveness. As such, it will be of great use to a broad audience of scholars, teachers, activists and practitioners.
