English Summary/英文概要： ’Rarely does essential reading really mean that you urgently need to read a book. But Lean Out is different’. - Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford.
Sheryl Sandberg’s business advice book, Lean In, was heralded as a defining moment in attitudes to women in business. But for all its commercial success, it proposed a model of feminism that was individualistic and unthreatening to capital.
In her powerful debut work Lean Out, acclaimed journalist Dawn Foster unpicks how the purportedly feminist message of Sandberg’s book neatly exempts patriarchy, capitalism and business from any responsibility for changing the position of women in contemporary culture. It looks at the rise of a corporate ’1% feminism’, and at how feminism has been defanged and depoliticised at a time when women have borne the brunt of the financial crash and the gap between rich and poor is widening faster than ever.
Surveying business, media, culture and politics, Foster asks whether this ’trickledown’ feminism offers any material gain for women collectively, or acts as mere window-dressing PR for the corporations who caused the financial crash. She concludes that ’leaning out’ of the corporate model is a more effective way of securing change than leaning in.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Sheryl Sandberg的商业咨询书籍《向前一步》广受好评，被誉为针对女性在商场中态度的决定性时刻。然而，撇开其商业成功，这本书树立了一个女权主义的模范——个性化的、对资本毫无威胁的。
在其颇具影响力的处女作品《探出》中，著名记者Dawn Foster揭开了在Sheryl Sandberg的书中，女权主义讯息是如何巧妙地免除了父权制、资本主义及商业在改变当下文化中妇女地位的责任。书中探讨了某个企业1%女权主义的崛起，以及在妇女承担金融冲击以及贫富差距加剧的情况下，女权主义是如何遭到去政治化的。
通过对商业、媒体、文化和政治进行调查，Foster提出了一个问题：女权主义是否为妇女集体带来了实质性利益，还是仅仅充当公关的作用。作者得出结论：“探出”企业模范比“跻身”企业模范在确保改变方面更加有效。(LYR)
