THE NEW FEMINIST AGENDA: DEFINING THE NEXT REVOLUTION FOR WOMEN, WORK, AND FAMILY
Book ID/图书代码： 03008013B61649
English Summary/英文概要： Feminists opened up thousands of doors in the 1960s and 1970s, but decades later, are U.S. women where they thought they’d be? The answer is a resounding no.
Women now comprise nearly 60 percent of college undergraduates and half of all medical and law students. They have entered the workforce in record numbers, making the two-wage-earner family the norm. While women changed, however, social structures surrounding work and family remained static. Affordable, high-quality childcare, paid family leave, and equal pay for equal work remain elusive for most women. The U.S. has also fallen far behind other countries on the gender-equity front with fewer women holding federal offices and leading the nation’s top private companies.
It’s time, says former U.S. Ambassador and Governor Madeleine M. Kunin, to change that and usher in a new social revolution. Our inability to invest in families leaves us vulnerable to being reduced to second-rate status in the global economy.
Looking back over five decades of advocacy, Kunin analyzes where progress stalled, examines the successes of other countries, and charts the course for the next feminist revolution—one that mobilizes women, and men, to call for the kind of government and workplace policies that can improve the lives of women and strengthen their families.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 新女权主义的进程:未来关于妇女、工作、家庭关系变革的定义
从1960年到1970年女权运动席卷了千千万万个家庭,但几十年后,美国妇女是否达到了她们的目的？她们的答案是一个响亮的回答：没有！
现在大学本科生中有60%是女性，医学和法学学生中有一半是女性。她们创造的劳动力数量已达到一个新的记录，他们已经进入了劳动力人数的新纪录,双职工家庭变得普遍。然而虽然女性已经改变了，但是关于工作和家庭的社会结构却没有改变。能负担的起的,高质量的儿童保育、带薪探亲假,同工同酬的待遇等对大多数女性都是遥不可及的。美国在性别公平对待方面还是远远落后与其他国家的——尤其是少之又少的女性担任高级官职，世界级公司中鲜有女性担当领导者。
时机到了,美国前大使和州长玛德琳呼吁：要发起一场新的社会革命以求改变。我们无法投资于家庭，这让我们在女权上停滞于同世界二流的经济国家一样。
回顾这过去五十年来的呼吁,Kunin几乎没取得多大进展,通过分析对比其它国家的成功来绘制下场女权革命蓝图—一个呼吁女性和男性都组织起来，要求能够改善女性生活及她们家庭地位的政府及相应的政策。（LNL）
