The contemporary women's movement has become a significant force for change since the mid-1960s. The time is ripe for reflection and assessment. Hester Eisenstein's new book looks at the impact these enormous feminist social changes have wrought on society, politics, culture and the economy. "Gender Shock" is organized around two general themes. The first is feminism as it has been received in popular culture. The second concerns gender in organizations, and explores the impact of explicitly commited feminists entering areas of work where women traditionally have been excluded, or have been rare and isolated. Compared to some of their peers in the United States, who have had to disguise or suppress their feminism, "femocrats" in Australia are increasingly entering territory previously all-male. "Gender Shock" addresses issues about the family, about the power of feminists in government and the ambivalence of feminists "outside" towards their fellow femocrats, about optimism as a required stance for feminist activists, and about gender as a category of analysis and the politics of its use within the academy. It will appeal to anyone interested in progressive movements, politics and feminism.

Hester Eisenstein, author of the best-selling "Contemporary feminist thought", is Professor of American Studies and currently teaches in the Women's Studies Program at the State University of New York, Buffalo. This book is intended for students and researchers in gender studies.
