About the Book
Modern Feminist Thought: From the Second Wave to ‘Post-Feminism’ offers a comprehensive and critical survey of the dominant trends in Anglo-American feminist thought since 1968. Imelda Whelehan traces the evolution of feminist theory from its second-wave origins to the complex debates surrounding post-feminism in the 1990s and beyond.
The book examines major strands of feminism, including:
-
Liberal Feminism – tracing the beginnings of second-wave thought
-
Marxist/Socialist Feminism – reconstructing and critiquing radical politics
-
Radical Feminism – redefining power and political structures
-
Lesbian and Black Feminism – challenging heteronormativity and reimagining equality
Whelehan also addresses contemporary crises and debates in feminism, such as:
-
The “men in feminism” discourse
-
Postmodernist critiques and identity politics
-
The rise of media-driven post-feminism and backlash narratives
Clear yet intellectually engaging, this book is both a historical survey and a critical commentary on feminist ideologies, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in gender studies, feminist theory, and cultural criticism.
