Feminism is not going away, not dead and certainly not a failure. In a takeover ways argue the book The Future of Feminism to the understanding of feminism often deficient and that the constant declarations of feminism's death is not only excessive, a letter to momo but incorrect. The language is tight and faktaspäckat, but rarely opaque. a letter to momo
After several waves of feminism, both movements and organizations as the context of their work has changed. This leads to difficulties in identifying feminist projects and results. Not least, the image becomes blurred because feminism accomplished a lot. Several of the classic goals of feminism have been successful and many of them are now institutionalized a letter to momo at the local, national as well as international level. 'Gender mainstreaming' a letter to momo author calls the process whereby issues previously expressed by protest movements incorporated into the overall political direction. This leads to the protest, which by definition seeks attention, take a step back and replaced with cooperation requires a more low-key approach.

The author Sylvia Walby is Professor of Sociology at Lancaster University. She is also responsible for UNESCO's commitment to gender studies, working under EU projects and conducts sociological research on gender, globalization and scientific theory.
Much revolves around the question of whether feminism is dead in Sweden recently performed in the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet. With solid references that at times becomes a catalog of feminist activity shows Sylvia Walby up a many-headed movement with multiple targets in diverse contexts. She argues that feminism's vitality a letter to momo is best viewed by:
"The lens through Which feminism is viewed is broadened from culture to the entire range of human social life, When The definition of feminism focus on the pursuit of feminist goals rather than self identification, and When institutionalized practices are included alongside the more fluid social movement forms of feminism. "
For example, trade unions are taken up as one of the most important players for feminist goals and they call themselves feminists often why many ignore a letter to momo them. The reason why unions are so important is that
With a controlled language and admirably transparent analysis a letter to momo sets Sylvia Walby no unreasonable demands on the reader.

The academic is also evident in the meticulous process of clearly defining the essential concepts.
Woman should be replaced in the analysis of "gender as it is constituted in different 'gender regimes'". That way you lose is not removed, for example the very different conditions of women in the North and South have. It is difficult to translate 'gender regimes' (in Swedish gender power arrangements?) Returns as a clearer and better name for what is often called patriarchy. The contexts in which women seem to be characterized by a male superiority in many ways, but patriarchy, says Sylvia Walby, could lead to mind a system that is consistent and unchanging. The term 'gender regime' referred to "the interconnectedness of gender relations and gendered a letter to momo institution That constitutes a system."

The second a letter to momo half of the book discusses instead what should happen and how it can be done. In a society that is constantly changing, the analysis must be updated. How women are affected by the financial crisis? Leads pursuit of constant a letter to momo growth that women have it better? In the chapter on feminist intersections discussed feminism in relation to other movements and interests. How does the work for gender equality to the environmental movement, the fight for human rights, issues of class and ethnicity, and not least different political projects. For those who are familiar with gender feels intersektionalitets-term again.
Social Democracy, not as a single party with no vision or social organization gives a great flexibility. Growth is something a letter to momo that benefits women in welfare-oriented countries, while in the more liberal tend to keep women remain in low-paid jobs or alternatively at home because children and the elderly are not taken care of by someone else. In social democratic countries often associated class questions with feminist issues in a fruitful way. However, the class and gender kept analytically distinct because the number a letter to momo of women in key positions, their salaries and space in the community may increase while low-income people worse off.
