This is an historical account of feminism, looking at the roots of feminism, voting rights, the liberation of the sixties, and analysing the current situation of women, across Europe and the United States, and elsewhere in the world (in particular in Third World countries). Walters examines the difficulties and inequities that women still face, more than forty years after the 'new wave' of 1960s feminism -- difficulties, particularly, in combining domesticity, motherhood and work outside the house. How much have women's lives really changed? In the West women still come up against the 'glass ceiling' at work, most earning considerably less than their male counterparts. What are we to make of the now commonplace insistence that feminism deprives men of their rights and dignities? And how does one tackle the issue of female emancipation in different cultural and economic environments - in, for example, Islam, Hinduism, the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian sub-continent?
Margaret Walters did a B.Litt at Oxford, went on to lecture in English at Reading University for 20 years, and is now a freelance writer and reviewer: she is currently working on a book entitled Femme Fatale for Cape, and she reviews for the TLS and the Sunday Times.

評分 評分 評分 評分对女权主义的萌芽、兴起、各种流派,当时的时代背景都有全面的介绍,此书虽小,内容却很丰富,当时是新东方的雅思写作老师介绍了这本书给我,让我学习其中原汁原味的写作手法,虽然最后在雅思的分数上并没有起到什么作用,但是对于对这段历史很感兴趣的我来说,是一本好书 外...
第一波爭取平等的civil right ,第二波是private life,hmmm,後續被批評是white middle class的。。。不過我還是不太懂到底啥是feminism。。。不過作者提到的新一代女性對女權有時候刻意躲避倒是真的,女權有時候確實是被汙名化瞭。。。
评分深度不夠,理論性不強,更像英美女權主義史。文辭較平庸,多有重復。英美中心,最後一章短暫提到“第三世界女性主義”,浮光掠影。
评分On the one hand, a playground for extremists – she termed them ‘fundamentalists’... On the other hand, she argued, feminism has become ‘institutionalized’, and she compared it to communism: it demands commitment, not simply to ideas, but to a generalized ideology. Moreover, she added, it is nowadays just another academic subject.
评分牛津通識讀本第一彈,故事我都看得懂,人名就很糊塗,想要進一步閱讀。
