Recent decades have witnessed both a renewed energy in feminist
activism and widespread attacks taking back hard-won rights.
Despite powerful feminist movements, the Covid-19 pandemic has
significantly undermined the progress women have struggled for
decades to achieve; how can this be? What explains this paradox of
a strong feminist movement coexisting with stubborn patriarchal
arrangements? How can we stop the next global catastrophe
initiating a similar backlash? This book suggests that the
limitations of social theory prevent feminist strategies from
initiating transformative changes and achieving permanent gains. It
investigates the impact of theoretical shortcomings upon feminist
strategies by engaging with two clusters of work: ungendered
accounts of capitalist development and theories on gendered
oppression and inequality. Decentring feminist theorising grounded
in histories and developments of the global North, the book
provides an original theory of the patriarchal system by analysing
changes within its forms and degrees as well as investigating the
relationship between the gender, class and race-ethnicity based
inequalities. Turkey offers a case that challenges assumptions and
calls for rethinking major feminist categories and theories,
thereby shedding light on the dynamics of social change in the
global South. The timely intervention of this book is, therefore,
crucial for feminist strategies going forward. The book emerges at
the intersections between Gender, International Development,
Political Economy, and Sociology and its main readership will be
found in, but not limited to, these disciplinary fields. The
material covered in this book will be of great interest to students
and researchers in these areas as well as policy makers and
feminist activists.
