  Where has British feminism gone? Has it retreated into the academy, did it burn out at Greenham Common, has it emigrated to the United States? Natasha Walter discovers that there is a new feminism right here and now in Britain. It is alive and kicking and speaking in the voices of young British women. In defining this new feminism, Natasha Walter celebrates women's growing power, casts aside the dogma of previous generations, and argues that the old adage 'The Personal is Political' does more harm than good. Because above all, this new feminism is frankly materialist. Who cares about how women dress, how they talk, how they make love? First, feminism must deliver political power and economic equality. With tremendous wit, verve and intelligence, THE NEW FEMINISM marks out fresh ground in feminist debate.

  Aiming to set the agenda for British feminism in the 21st century, this work deals specifically with the experiences and desires of women below 35; those who are perceived to take their new advantages and continuing disadvantages for granted, and not ask What can I do for feminism? and What can feminism do for me? . In order to find a new way into feminism that speaks directly to these women, this book looks at the real conditions of young women's lives and how they would like to change them. In addition to the struggles of middle-class women, the feminist debate is taken into areas such as women in the underclass , the workplace and single parenting. Addressing the new social and economic realities, the author appeals to women not to lose their new advantages.
