"More Specifically, Lean in Reveals the Ways in Which the Husk

Multiple Choice

"More specifically, Lean In reveals the ways in which the husk of liberalism is being mobilized to spawn a neoliberal feminism, as well as a new feminist (and not simply a female) subject. Individuated in the extreme, this subject is feminist in the sense that she is distinctly aware of current inequalities between men and women. This same subject is, however, simultaneously neoliberal, not only because she disavows the social, cultural and economic forces producing this inequality, but also because she accepts full responsibility for her own well-being and self-care, which is increasingly predicated on crafting a felicitous work-family balance based on a cost-benefit calculus. The neoliberal feminist subject is thus mobilized to convert continued gender inequality from a _______ problem into an _______ affair."
