Description
Sylvia Walby offers a comprehensive overview of recent theoretical debates in feminism and sociology. She explores how different approaches, including Marxism, radical and liberal feminism, post-structuralism, and dual systems theory, can be applied to various topics such as work, culture, and violence.
Walby argues that patriarchy has adapted to changes in women's position, transforming some of the social gains made by women into new challenges. She proposes a combination of class analysis with radical feminist theory to explain gender relations, highlighting both patriarchal and capitalist structures.
This book provides an insightful analysis of gender relations, drawing on up-to-date empirical findings. It is an important contribution to the field of sociology and feminism, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between power, class, and gender.
