- Abstract
This chapter examines publications which provide new feminist interventions in debates that have occupied a prominent place in feminist theory since the inception of the women’s movement and that, in the new millennium, continue to inspire renewed debates across theory, practice and activism. The chapter is divided into five sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Introspection: Examining Narratives of Feminism, which reviews Clare Hemmings’ Why Stories Matter: The Political Grammar of Feminist Theory and Sylvia Walby’s The Future of Feminism, both of which are concerned with the narrativization of feminism in popular culture and feminist historiography; 3. Gender at Work: Feminism and the Politics of Labour examines two texts that provide a timely exploration of women’s economic and political roles within capitalism and patriarchy: Ann Cudd and Nancy Holmstrom’s Capitalism, For and Against: A Feminist Debate and Kathi Weeks’ The Problem with Work: Feminism, Marxism, Antiwork Politics, and Postwork Imaginaries; 4. Feminism and Religion turns to feminist engagements with religion and reviews Linda Martin Alcoff and John D. Caputo’s essay collection Feminism, Sexuality and the Return of Religion and Sherine Hafaz’s monograph An Islam of Her Own: Reconsidering Religion and Secularism in Women’s Islamic Movements; 5. Conclusion.
