Mcrobbie Angela - The Aftermath Of Feminism Gender Culture And Social Change - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: In this trenchant inquiry into the state of feminism Angela Mc Robbie breaks open the politics of sexual equality and affirmative feminism and sets down a new theory of gender power. Challenging the most basic assumptions of the end of feminism this book argues that invidious forms of gender re - stabilisation are being re - established. Consumer and popular culture encroach on the terrain of so - called female freedom appearing supportive of female success yet tying women into new post - feminist neurotic dependencies. With a scathing critique of women's empowerment Mc Robbie has developed a distinctive feminist analysis that she uses to examine socio - cultural phenomena embedded in contemporary women's lives: from fashion photography and the television make - over genre to eating disorders body anxiety and illegible rage . A turning point in feminist theory The Aftermath of Feminism will set a new agenda for gender studies and cultural studies.
