About this product

The Quiet Before by Gal Beckerman is a hardcover nonfiction book published by Crown Publishing Group in February 2022. It explores the quiet, often hidden origins of radical social movements from the 1600s to the present, examining how revolutionary ideas emerge in private spaces rather than public protests. The book traces historical developments including scientific correspondence in 17th-century France, voting petitions in 1830s Britain, and feminist zines from the 1990s. It also analyzes how modern social media may be erasing the secluded environments essential for such ideas to form. With 352 pages and dimensions of 6" W x 9.4" H x 1.4" D, this scholarly work combines narrative storytelling with deep research.
