Joyce Gelb: Gelb, J: Feminism and Politics, Fester Einband

Klappentext

"A provocative and illuminating exploration of the relationship between feminist strategies and achievements in three countries. This book helps us all to rethink the methods by which we might achieve human equality."--Alice Kessler-Harris, Rutgers University

"Joyce Gelb attempts to expand what she has learned from a decade of analyzing public policy toward women in the United States to two other countries. Her primary comparison is with Great Britain, but a chapter on Sweden, perceptively titled 'Feminism without Feminists?' asks what happens when the state takes the lead in instigating social change."--Jo Freeman, Contemporary Sociology
"[Gelb] presents the reader with a wealth of information; she makes some imaginative comparisons, like measuring in graph form the impact of social changes on the feminist groups themselves; and she demonstrates how the feminist groups are a part of a larger political and cultural picture."--Roberta Ann Johnson, Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
"Will stimulate much debate concerning the comparative analysis of women's politics and the choice of appropriate strategies in different national contexts."--Diane Sainsbury, University of Stockholm
