In Britain and the US, second-wave feminists made strategic decisions to work within the system where they felt they had more chance of changing political attitudes and policy frameworks.

Engaging with ‘resource mobilisation theories’ in the US, the author focuses on the institutional context of feminist politics, how individual feminists have gained access to party and government elites through political networks and alliances. She explores European new social movement theories to trace how feminist social movements have worked to dismantle cultural barriers to change by creating alternative ways of living in and understanding the world.
