A
couple
of
times
a
year
(usually
around
International
Women’s
Day
or
the
latest
gender
controversy)
there’ll
be
a
journalist
on
the
phone,
asking
me,
‘where
is
feminism
now?’
Angela
McRobbie’s
The
Aftermath
of
Feminism: Gender,
Culture
and
Social
Change
provides
the
perfect
answer,
though
one
that
probably
won’t
be
dutifully
reported
in
the
pages
of
the
Courier Mail.
McRobbie
has
always
been
a
preeminent
figure
in
feminist
cultural
studies,
and
this
work
highlights
her
continuing
importance.
Indeed, The
Aftermath
of
Feminism
reminds
us
of
the
power
of
feminist
cultural
studies
to
explain
what’s
going
on,
whether
this
is
in
the
media,
popular
culture,
everyday
life,
governmentality,
the
corporate
world,
or
their
interrelationships.
And
McRobbie’s
diagnosis
of
‘a
social
and
cultural
landscape
which
could
be
called
post‐feminist’
is
uncompromising,
far‐reaching
in
scope,
and
deeply
disturbing.
