Abstract:

This article analyzes <em>The Feminine Mystique</em>, by Betty Friedan, to propose a comparison between “second wave” American feminism and its contemporary neoliberal variation. Following Catherine Rottenberg’s definition of neoliberal feminism as that phenomenon which has affected the popular reintegration of feminist themes within the mainstream field, the article critically examines this contemporary declination of the movement, which quotes 1970s feminism in order to legitimize itself but, at the same time, it re-enacts the Feminine Mystique by portraying a balanced happ

Abstract:

AbstractThe article starts by locating both the author and men in relation to feminism as an identity, which cuts across the public–private divide. It then attempts to illuminate the meaning of ‘being feminist’ by addressing three, tightly interwoven, issues. First is the question: what is the ‘woman’ who is the subject of feminism? The second section discusses the nature of feminism in its various guises, focusing mainly on feminism in Britain since the late 1960s. It engages with the notions of ‘post-feminism’, ‘global sisterhood’ and a ‘third wave’. Finally, the article analyses critically

Abstract:

Although Margaret Atwood started writing in the second phase of feminism, some of her works show the features of the second and the third wave of feminism. It’s clear in Atwood’s Cat’s Eye. Elaine, protagonist of the novel, and other female characters indicate these features. Some of Atwood’s works imply Kristeva’s theories. Unlike the second wave of feminism, Julia Kristeva as a postmodern feminist rejects the distinction between sex and gender believing that these two terms respectively represent biology and culture which cannot be separated from each other. This idea can be examined in Marg

Abstract:

Recent iterations of feminist theory and activism, especially intersectional, ‘third-wave’ feminism, have cast much second-wave feminism as politically unacceptable in failing to centre the experiences of less privileged subjects than the often white, often middle-class names with which the second wave is usually associated. While bearing those critiques in mind, this article argues that some second-wave writers, exemplified by Shulamith Firestone and Monique Wittig, may still offer valuable feminist perspectives if viewed through the anti-normative lens of queer theory. Queer resists the reif

Abstract:

This article examines the reappropriation of traditional stories – myths, fairy tales, and epics – by second wave feminist artists, with a focus on Joan Jonas’s interdisciplinary work. Traditional stories have often been critiqued within feminism because of the way that they portray females and their fate in the plotlines. While there is immense variety within these genres, the stories are often perceived to be male-centric, where women are absent or only exist in service of the male protagonists’ stories. It is surprising then to find them as subject matter in the work of second wave feminist

Abstract:

This research paper examines Arundhati Roy's novels and feminism, using the theories of Helene Cixous and Simon de Beauvoir. Cixous and de Beauvoir's theories are relevant in understanding contemporary feminist issues, addressing patriarchal structures, and promoting global gender equality through activism and media representation. The 1990s saw a postmodern shift in feminist thought, leading to Third-Wave feminism, which sought to be traced in Roy's novels. However, scholars have debated that a new wave of feminism has arrived since 2012 and is characterized by social media activism and radic

Abstract:

This article is a critical examination of Nancy Fraser's contrast of early second‐wave feminism and contemporary global feminism in “Feminism, Capitalism and the Cunning of History,” (Fraser 2009). Fraser contrasts emancipatory early second‐wave feminism, strongly critical of capitalism, with feminism in the age of neoliberalism as being in a “dangerous liaison” with neoliberalism. I argue that Fraser's historical account of 1970s mainstream second‐wave feminism is inaccurate, that it was not generally anti‐capitalist, critical of the welfare system, or challenging the priority of paid labor.

Resumen. El propósito de este artículo es mostrar en qué medida, las complejas relaciones entre la tercera ola y el feminismo precedente provienen de aceptar una versión monolítica y creada ex profeso de la segunda ola. Nuestro recorrido parte de un análisis del término postfeminismo, delimitando su polisemia en dos versiones, la popular y la filosófica. Tras este proceso de desambiguación, analizaremos las narrativas fundacionales de la tercera ola con el objetivo de poner en evidencia algunas de sus características fundamentales y analizar en qué medida, es deudora de una versión distorsiona

Abstract:

The second wave of feminism in Australia became a popular reality for ordinary women through many forms of media, and especially through the new women's magazine Cleo. The reader letters published in Cleo throughout the 1970s provide rich, if productively problematic, evidence for the media historian's desire to interpret the meanings readers can make from magazines. In this case, the desire is to understand how younger, ordinary (non-activist) Australian women made sense of the immense challenge of feminism. Through letters written in response to Cleo's feminist journalism (and journalism abo

Abstract:

This thesis undertakes an examination of the manner in which a novelist interacts with a contemporary theoretical discourse. I argue that the novelist and the theoretical discourse enter into a symbiotic relationship in which each influences and is influenced by the other. This process, I suggest, is simultaneous and complex. The thesis demonstrates how the prevailing theoretical discourse is absorbed by the contemporary author, is developed and redefined in conjunction with alternative concerns, and comes to permeate the narrative in an altered state. The novelist's new perspectives, frequent

This thesis examines the relationship between reproductive rights activism and white feminists’ efforts to work multiracially between the years 1977-1989. It charts a shift from strategies that focused on white women’s ‘outreach’ and ‘recruitment’ to those that were more concerned with coalition-building and anti-racism work. The second part of the thesis considers the ways that white feminists have interpreted right-wing threats, both to reproductive rights and to their own ability to shape feminist narratives – and, in turn, how those interpretations affected their efforts to work multiracia

A group of four teenaged girls and another group of three adult women read and discussed the YAL dystopian text Uglies.

AbstractThis chapter focuses on Australian government policy but also provides relevant international examples. It analyses gender equality policy during the Whitlam and Fraser governments. Fortuitously for feminists, Whitlam’s election coincided with so-called second-wave feminism’s serious challenge to traditional policy frameworks in the 1970s. The government drew on international developments but also implemented innovative Australian policies. Feminist demands in state-based areas from childcare and women’s health to women’s refuges fitted well with the Whitlam government’s policy framing
