内容简介

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, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, and Africa?

This book provides an historical account of feminism, exploring its earliest roots as well as key issues including voting rights, the liberation of the sixties, and its relevance today. Margaret Walters touches on the difficulties and inequities that women still face more than forty years after the 'new wave' of 1960s feminism, such as how successful women are at combining domesticity, motherhood, and work outside the house. She brings the subject completely up to date by providing an analysis

of the current situation of women across the globe, from Europe and the United States to Third World countries.

妇女的生活真正改变了多少？在西方，妇女仍然在工作中遇到“玻璃天花板”的问题，大多数人的收入远低于男性。对于现在普遍存在的坚持女权主义剥夺男人的权利和尊严的主张，我们该怎么办？在中东，印度次大陆和非洲等不同的文化和经济环境中，如何解决女性解放的问题？

这本书提供了对女权主义的历史解释，探讨了女权主义的最早根源以及关键问题，包括投票权，六十年代的解放及其与今天的相关性。玛格丽特·沃尔特斯（Margaret Walters）谈到了1960年代女权主义“新浪潮”之后四十多年来妇女仍然面临的种种困难和不平等现象，例如成功的妇女如何在兼顾家庭，母亲和在屋外工作方面取得了成功。她通过提供对

从欧洲和美国到第三世界国家的全球女性现状的分析，使该主题完全更新。
