An Ecofeminist Inquiry

Produktbeschreibung

This collection looks at the position of women in the media in capitalism and socialism using ecofeminist lenses. It argues that when the position of women in the media in capitalism is at stake, women suffer from discrimination, structural barriers, lack of recognition, and a masculine way of thinking across countries, whereas in socialism women did not suffer from the lack of recognition; however, they did suffer from dual expectations, which placed a burden on them and enabled the return of patriarchal discrimination with the change of regimes. This leads to the notion of masculine thinking that underpinned socialist regimes too.

Whilst it is obvious that socialist regimes had more respect for women, it is clear that they were also underpinned by a masculine thought to an extent, which resulted in a double burden on women in society and this was mirrored by the media. Therefore, the book argues that the new socialism is needed, the one which will take into consideration patriarchy in all of its elements and include not just policies on equal pay and equal opportunities in the organisation but also has active women's voices in designing policies that last and that makes an impact on equality in all of its social segments.
