Feminism, Gender, Capitalism, NeoliberalismAbstract
Do feminism and neoliberalism share a secret affinity? In this article the author examine the co-option of gender politics by the “new spirit” of post-Fordist capitalism, and subordination of its radical critique to a neoliberal agenda, that instrumentalized the flags of second-wave feminism. Might a neoliberalism shift offer prospects for socialist-feminist renewal?Downloads
