| Summary |
The Rise of Neoliberal Feminism demonstrates how the notion of a happy work-family balance has not only been incorporated into the popular imagination as a feminist ideal but also lies at the heart of a new variant of feminism, one that has abandoned any commitment to equal rights or emancipation. This book underscores the ways in which neoliberal feminism forsakes the vast majority of women, while facilitating new and intensified forms of racialized and class-stratified gender exploitation. Given our frightening neoliberal reality, the monumental challenge, then, is how we can successfully reorient and reclaim feminism as a social justice movement.--Publisher description. |
