From the introduction
The women’s movement is not what it used to be. In a country like Norway, a movement of several thousand members during the 1970s has been reduced to half a dozen organizations with a few hundred members.

Having authored a range of influential books on related topics since the 1980s, Walby delivers an impressive synthesis of her engagement with sociological research, social theory, gender studies and feminism in the past thirty years, and a thought-provoking statement of what feminism is today and where it will go – and should go – in the future.
