Description:
'The lazy choice feminism has had its day.'
More than half a century after the publication of Simone de Beauvoir's feminist handbook, women in the Netherlands still constitute the second sex. Together with Pakistan, the country where gang rape is still considered an acceptable punishment for a woman accused of adultery, the Netherlands occupies last place on an international ranking when it comes to women in top positions in the business world. According to Heleen Mees, who is a much-discussed columnist for NRC Handelsblad, the Dutch one-and-a-half-earner model is a treacherous mixture of traditional role patterns diluted with a touch of feminism. Women drink the cup that is offered to them to the dregs. In her columns, Mees kicks against sacred cows such as fertility, breastfeeding and the old boys' network. Not only should men, in Mees' eyes, take on more care tasks, women should also be given a real prospect of top positions. Stop housekeeping. Women on top!
In Away with part-time feminism! the most urgent from Mees' columns about women, ambition and work is brought together. The book sheds a new, merciless light on the so-called completed emancipation of women, in which the author does not hesitate to hit us over the head with confronting facts and statistics. We are not there yet! An eye-opener for women and men.
