The Women's Liberation Movement by Kristina Schulz

The Women's Liberation Movement by Kristina Schulz

This collection represents the first systematic reflection on the impact and outcomes of the women's liberation movement in different areas and topics of Western societies. It systematically investigates movement outcomes in one country in the light of a reflective social movement theory and compares them to developments in other countries.

“This book is rich in content and thoroughly researchedSeveral chapters bring relatively un-known movement dynamics to an English-speaking audience for the first time. These contributions provide important empirical evidence of what the diversity of the many Western European Women’s Liberation Movements actually stand for, what they do, and how they develop.” · Susanne Zwingel, Florida International University

“Both exciting and very well-written, this book offers original empirical work on a range of core issues related to the Women’s Liberation Movements. It is based on multiple methods of case studies, and brings forward refreshing empirical material and methodological reflections. There are so many myths about feminism and WLM that claims and descriptions based on solid research, such as those offered by this collection, are essential.” · Beatrice Halsaa, University of Oslo
