The book review discusses "Gender, Feminist and Queer Studies: Power, Privilege and Inequality in a Time of Neoliberal Conservatism," edited by Donna Bridges, Clifford Lewis, Elizabeth Wulff, Chelsea Litchfield, and Larissa Bamberry. The book explores the intersections of gender, feminist, and queer studies with power, privilege, and inequality in the context of neoliberal conservatism. It analyzes how market-oriented policies and individualistic ideologies influence and often undermine the pursuit of equality and justice. The book provides a platform for examining different aspects of gender, feminist, and queer studies within the broader socio-political landscape, addressing issues such as metanarratives, masculine hegemony, embodiment and representation, and evaluating social change. While the book focuses on Australia, it offers valuable insights and potential pathways for addressing gender inequality in a neoliberal and conservative context. [Extracted from the article]
