Contemporary Western European Feminism is a ground-breaking history
of feminism. Gisela Kaplan invites a critical analysis of current
ideas, terms and assumptions about our modern world. Written
confidently and with compassion, this is the story of a long
revolution that has set out to change predominant attitudes and
transform value hierarchies and human lifestyles. By outlining the
postwar histories of individual countries Kaplan contextualises
women's movements and documents a significant chapter of European
social history. She poses questions about the interrelationship
between the new movements and the parliamentary democracies in
which they occurred, while analysing the contradictions of living
in modern capitalist countries. Contemporary Western European
Feminism also tackles important contradictions, such as those
between the welfare state and the free market economy;
industrialisation and religious value systems; social engineering
and the production of wealth; and dissent and patrimonial systems
of democracy. For those wanting to know more about Europe without
the intimidating barriers of language and for those already experts
in its social history, Contemporary Western European Feminism is
essential reading.
