Neoliberalism and its Impact on the Women's Movement in Aotearoa/New Zealand

More about the book

Neoliberalism's influence on the women's movement in Aotearoa/New Zealand from the mid-1980s to the late 2010s is critically examined, focusing on three levels: individual feminism, women's organizations, and state feminism. The author conducts an empirical study to reveal how neoliberal policies have shaped feminist identities, activism, and political opportunities. By analyzing diverse feminist voices and intersectional debates, the book concludes that, despite challenges and fragmentation, the women's movement has endured and adapted to neoliberal pressures.
