This text should be widely read. * D. J. Mattingly, San Diego State University, CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003e[Rottenberg] imbue[s] the analysis with acuity and wit... For a relatively short book, there's a lot in The Rise of Neoliberal Feminism. * Times Higher Education  *\u003cbr\u003eWritten with energetic sparkling prose and great erudition, Catherine Rottenberg displays a capacious knowledge of all the recent twists and turns in popular presentations of feminism. This is exactly the book we need now to grapple with a neoliberal rationality working to undermine feminist resistance to the worsening situation of the majority of women, while clearing pathways for a passionate return to dynamic feminist dialogue and creative, all-embracing feminist practices.\" - Lynne Segal, author of Radical Happiness: Moments of Collective Joy\u003cbr\u003eAn incisive critical intervention.\"-Rosalind Gill, author of Gender and the Media\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Rottenberg has created an indispensable resource for those working in feminist theory, media studies, cultural studies and communication. Incisively critiquing a new, highly visible version of feminism, Rottenberg demonstrates through careful analysis and theoretical rigor that feminist messages of 'having it all' and 'leaning in' need to be carefully interrogated for who, and what, these messages and practices exclude. In a popular and media context where feminist messages abound and circulate with ease and alacrity, Rottenberg's voice is a crucial caution for all of us about the limitations of neoliberal feminism, as well as an urgent call to reclaim feminism as a social justice movement.\"-Sarah Banet-Weiser, Professor, author of Empowered: Popular Feminism and Popular Misogyny\u003cbr\u003eThis is a remarkable and important book demonstrating with fine attention to detail the ways in which feminism has found itself appropriated and seemingly comfortably installed as part of the neoliberalization process to complement and indeed 'motivate' women in work and family life. In a wonderfully well-written account, Rottenberg unsettles the terms and conditions which underpin 'neoliberal feminism'.\"- Angela McRobbie, author of The Aftermath of Feminism: Gender, Culture and Social Change\u003cbr\u003eWritten with energetic, sparkling prose and great erudition, Catherine Rottenberg displays a capacious knowledge of all the recent twists and turns in popular presentations of feminism.

Rottenberg turns her analytical eye to a range of cultural products, from the \"have it all\" privileged musings of Ivanka Trump to \"mommy blogs\" and popular TV shows such as CBS' The Good Wife and the Danish series Borgen, in which it becomes painfully apparent that in order to maintain the moral high ground in the future, \"Brigitte will have to do a better job balancing family and work.\" It is an all too familiar pattern.\" - Emma Rees Times Higher Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword Acknowledgements Introduction: Feminism in Neoliberal Times Chapter One: How Superwoman Became Balanced Chapter Two: The Neoliberal Feminist Chapter Three: Neoliberal Futurity and Generic Human Capital Chapter Four: Back from the Future: Turning to the \"Here and Now\" Chapter Five: Feminist Convergences Chapter Six: Reclaiming Feminism Notes Bibliography Index","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017607020887,"sku":"9780197523773","price":15.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197523773.jpg?v=1750774093","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-rise-of-neoliberal-feminism-heretical-thought-9780197523773","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
