- Description
- The author constructs a political sociology of women’s bodies within neoliberal and neoconservative frameworks around the following debates: sexual violence, gender and Islam, sex work and motherhood. She explores how ‘feminism’ can be caricatured and vilified at both ends of the political spectrum, arguing that Western feminisms are nowadays faced with problems of positioning in a world where gender often comes second to other political priorities.
