The Politics of Third Wave Feminisms

"The past 20 years have witnessed a renewal of interest in feminist activism on both sides of the Atlantic. In part, this has been a response to neoliberal and neoconservative attacks, both implicit and explicit, on the gains made by feminists during the 1960s and 1970s. This study adds a comparative dimension to the ongoing analysis of feminism and feminist activism by mapping, analysing, and theorising third wave feminisms in the US and Britain. A key addition to gender and politics literature, this book explores third wave feminisms by situating them within a specific political context -- neoliberalism -- and in relation to feminist theories of intersectionality, both of which present radical opportunities and theoretical and practical challenges for feminism and the feminist movement."--Cover page 4.
