Gender equality is a widely shared value in many western societies
and yet, the mention of the term feminism frequently provokes
unease, bewilderment or overt hostility. Repudiating Feminism sheds
light on why this is the case. Grounded in rich empirical research
and providing a timely contribution to debates on engagements with
feminism, Repudiating Feminism explores how young German and
British women think, talk and feel about feminism. Drawing on
in-depth interviews with women from different racial and class
backgrounds, and with different sexual orientations, Repudiating
Feminism reveals how young women's diverse positionings intersect
with their views of feminism. This critical and reflexive analysis
of the interplay between subjective accounts and broader cultural
configurations shows how postfeminism, neoliberalism and
heteronormativity mediate young women's negotiations of feminism,
revealing the manner in which heterosexual norms structure
engagements with feminism and its consequent association with
man-hating and lesbian women. Speaking to a range of contemporary
cultural trends, including the construction of essentialist notions
of cultural difference and the neoliberal imperative to take
responsibility for the management of one's own life, this book will
be of interest to anyone studying sociology, gender and cultural
studies.
