Review: The Aftermath of Feminism: Gender, Culture and Social Change by Angela McRobbie, Sage Publications, 2009, 192 pages (original) (raw)
Angela McRobbie's "The Aftermath of Feminism: Gender, Culture and Social Change" critically examines the emergence of post-feminism and its implications for contemporary young women's identities and politics. The work critiques the notion of 'girlie' feminism that aligns with consumerism and highlights the cultural shift that dismisses older feminist politics. It discusses the disarticulation of feminist solidarity and advocates, proposing that the new sexual contract presents opportunities yet reinforces traditional gender roles, all while complicating modern feminist discourse.
