How much have women's lives really changed? In the West women still
come up against the 'glass ceiling' at work, most earning
considerably less than their male counterparts. What are we to make
of the now commonplace insistence that feminism deprives men of
their rights and dignities? And how does one tackle the issue of
female emancipation in different cultural and economic environments
- in, for example, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, and
Africa? This book provides an historical account of feminism,
exploring its earliest roots as well as key issues including voting
rights, the liberation of the sixties, and its relevance today.
Margaret Walters touches on the difficulties and inequities that
women still face more than forty years after the 'new wave' of
1960s feminism, such as how successful women are at combining
domesticity, motherhood, and work outside the house. She brings the
subject completely up to date by providing an analysis of the
current situation of women across the globe, from Europe and the
United States to Third World countries. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very
Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains
hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized
books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas,
and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
