In Millennial Feminism at Work, volume editor Jane Juffer brings
together recently graduated students from across the US to reflect
on the relevance of their feminist studies programs in their chosen
career paths. The result is a dynamic collection of voices, shaking
up preconceived ideas and showing the positive influence of gender
and sexuality studies on individuals at work. Encompassing five
areas-corporate, education, nonprofit, medical, and media
careers-these engaging essays use personal experiences to analyze
the pressure on young adults to define themselves through creative
work, even when that job may not sustain them financially.
Obstacles to feminist work conditions notwithstanding, they urge
readers to never downplay their feminist credentials and prove that
gender and sexuality studies degrees can serve graduates well in
the current marketplace and prepare them for life outside of their
alma mater. Emphasizing the importance of individual stories
situated within political and economic structures, Millennial
Feminism at Work provides spirited collective advice and a unique
window into the lives and careers of young feminists sharing the
lessons they have learned. Contributors: Rose Al Abosy, Rachel
