This collection examines the ongoing shared struggles of diverse groups of women in Canada and beyond focusing on a diverse range of themes including movements, spaces and rights; inclusion, equity and policies; reproductive labour, work and economy; health, culture and violence; and sports and bodies. Situating Canada as a western society with avowed egalitarian ideals, and based on a 'shared but different' approach, this book highlights the intersectional dimensions of gendered lives and feminist actions for change in both western and non-western contexts. Gender issues and feminist struggles are interconnected internationally and this book examines the Canadian case alongside other countries across Latin America, Africa, Asia, Australasia and Europe to explore the global currents of gender and feminism and its practice. The centrality of gender and the need for feminist praxis remain highly relevant in the 21st Century, whether in western or non-western societies, and this collection provides a comprehensive overview of the international currents for gender equality, empowerment and social justice.

Through an in-depth analysis of bestselling “how-to-succeed” books along with popular television shows and well-trafficked “mommy” blogs, The Rise of Neoliberal Feminism demonstrates how the notion of a happy work-family balance has not only been incorporated into the popular imagination as a progressive feminist ideal but also lies at the heart of a new variant of feminism. Embraced by high-powered women, from Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg to Ivanka Trump, this variant of feminism abandons key terms, such as equal rights and liberation, advocating, instead, for a life of balance and happiness. What we are ultimately witnessing, Catherine Rottenberg argues, is the emergence of a neoliberal feminism that abandons the struggle to undo the unjust gendered distribution of labor and that helps to ensure that all responsibility for reproduction and care work falls squarely on the shoulders of individual women. Moreover, this increasingly dominant form of feminism simultaneously splits women into two distinct groups: worthy capital-enhancing women and the “unworthy” disposable female “other” who performs much of the domestic and care work. This split, not surprisingly, transpires along racial, class, and citizen-immigrant lines. The Rise of Neoliberal Feminism thus underscores the ways in which neoliberal feminism forsakes the vast majority of women, while it facilitates new and intensified forms of racialized and class-stratified gender exploitation. Given our frightening neoliberal reality, the monumental challenge, then, is how we can successfully reorient and reclaim feminism as a social justice movement.

Die Autorin beschäftigt sich mit Praktiken und Debatten zu Migration und ethnisierten Differenzen, Rassismen und Antirassismus im Kontext des feministischen Aktivismus in Wien. In einer Längsschnittbetrachtung von den 1980er bis zu den 2010er Jahren fragt die Arbeit, wie weiße feministische Aktivistinnen machtvolle ethnisierte Differenzen verhandeln - im expliziten Sprechen ebenso wie im impliziten Tun. Nicht zuletzt geht es um die Frage, wie in diesen Praktiken nicht nur die ,Andere' konstruiert, sondern auch ,Eigenes' hergestellt wird. The author deals with practices and debates on migration and ethnic differences, racism and anti-racism in the context of feminist activism in Vienna. In a longitudinal analysis from the 1980s to the 2010s, the work examines how white feminist activists negotiate powerful ethnicized differences - in explicit speech as well as implicit action. Last but not least, the question is how these practices not only construct the 'other', but also produce the 'own'. Allen Leser_innen mit Interessean einer ausführlichen Beschreibung sowie einer ungemein tiefgehenden Reflexionautonom-feministischer Bewegungspolitiken im Wiener Kontext sei die Lektüre vonStefanie Mayers Untersuchung daher wärmstens ans Herz gelegt.

The Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920 giving women in the United States the right to vote. This edited volume looks back at this 100-year history and asks, how has women's political engagement unfolded over the last century? The chapters consider women's successes in the political realm but also biases that women still confront. The contributors pay particular attention to the diverse backgrounds and perspectives women bring to the political arena, reminding us of the insights provided by an intersectional perspective.
