Within a social context where gender equality has been formally
established as a social good and where feminism is generally
dismissed as having achieved its purpose, third wave feminism
offers an analysis of gender relations and feminist politics that
has caused extensive debate. Situating third wave feminism within a
late modern, postfeminist gender order this book offers a critical
analysis of the assumptions that underpin the third wave
perspective focusing on the solutions that third wave feminism
proposes to counteract the popular perception that feminism has
lost its relevance in today's society. In this analysis, the
conceptual and theoretical resources that a third wave feminist
perspective offers for advancing an understanding of the current
state of a feminist 'politics of the self' are assessed and the
claim that a set of new practices and identities are required to
progress feminist interests is explored, focusing specifically upon
the reconstruction of femininity through the ideals of autonomy,
individuality and self-management.
