It argues that when the position of women in the media in capitalism is at stake, women suffer from discrimination, structural barriers, lack of recognition and a masculine way of thinking across countries whereas in socialism women did not suffer from the lack of recognition but they did suffer from dual expectations, which placed a burden on them and enabled the return of patriarchal discrimination with the change of regimes and this leads to the notion of masculine thinking that underpinned socialist regimes too.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhilst it is obvious from existing research, as well as chapters in this book, that socialist regimes had more respect for women, it is clear that they were also underpinned by a masculine thought to an extent, which resulted in a double burden on women in society and this was mirrored by the media.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTherefore, the book argues that the new socialism is needed, the one which will take into consideration patriarchy in all of its elements and include not just policies on equal pay and equal opportunities in the organisation but also has active women’s voices in designing policies that last and that makes an impact on equality in all of its social segments.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eContributions from Nikolina Borčić, Ovidiana Bulumac, Joseph Nwanja Chukwu, Carla Cruz, Maria Cunha, Ivana Čuljak, Ivona Čulo,  Béatrice Damian-Gaillard, Elena Díaz, Sanita Nwakpu Ekwutosi, Barbara Henderson, Bethany Fenner, Mirela Holy, Lisa Makarchuk, Anka Mihajlov Prokopović, Chinedu Jude Nwasum, Jude Nwakpoke Ogbodo, Eugénie Saitta, Paloma Sanz-Marcos, Nataša Simeunović Bajić, Salomé Sola-Morales, Martina Topić, Hanne Vandenberghe, Lea Vene, Marija Vujović, Belén Zurbano-Berenguer, Batya Weinbaum.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Women and the Media in Capitalism and Socialism: An Ecofeminist Inquiry, edited by Dr. Martina Topić, is a timely contribution to examine the position of women in the context of the political economy of the media. Through the socialist ecofeminist lenses, Topić advances knowledge of the topic by providing collective views from both capitalist (Section I of the book) and socialist and\/or post-socialist (Section II of the book) countries, which makes it one of the most unique contributions to the literature. While embracing a variety of economic contexts, the book offers diverse perspectives from all contributing chapters in discussing historically rooted masculinity, sexism, violence, inequality, underrepresentation, dual expectations, and lack of recognition faced by women in the media industry. The status of women in the media as reflected through social change and social movements deserves more attention and this book is a MUST-READ.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Dr. Juan Meng, Associate Professor, University of Georgia, and author of PR Women with Influence: Breaking through the Ethical and Leadership Challenges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'This is an exciting international collaboration examining the political economy of women in the media industries. Issues of autonomy and constraint are explored in pressing matters of women’s visibility and their representation. The reader is drawn to consider just how women are represented but also how women as cultural workers are perceived in different socio-economic contexts. This collection will be of interest to scholars of the cultural industries, gender identities and relations in the workplace, and those of journalism.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Professor Jayne Raisborough.
