This edited collection explores issues of gender equality in the
global context. Campaigns to achieve gender equality throughout the
twentieth century brought about huge changes in westernised
countries. In particular, the achievements of second-wave feminism
with regards to gender and sexual equality benefit many people
today. The famous 'seven demands' of the second-wave movement form
the basis of the chapters of this book, probing the advances made
legally, socially and culturally. Contributors to this collection
acknowledge the advances brought about by the second-wave movement,
but highlight the work which still needs to be done in the
twenty-first century, including the changes in society that have
resulted in shifts in masculinity. Gender Equality in Changing
Times is divided into two parts, following an overview of
theoretical debates and social contexts that lead us to the current
period of gender and sexual relations. Part One looks at gender
equality by exploring the 'experience' of being part of a group
where gender boundaries still exist, drawing on auto-ethnographies
of those in key groups that are central to this debate, as well as
interviews with members of such groups. Part Two investigates wider
representations of these groups, offering an insight into the
geopolitical world of gender relations in Saudi Arabia and China.
Ultimately, this collection shows how much has been achieved, yet
how far is also left to go. Students and scholars across a range of
disciplines, including gender studies, history, education,
sociology, media studies, politics, business studies, cultural
studies and English literature and linguistics, will find this book
of interest.
