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.
