Feminism and the Politics of Resilience: Essays on Gender, Media, and the End of Welfare.

McRobbie singles out an epicenter of the contemporary anti-trans movement, I mumsnet.com i , as the media outlet/platform that "most precisely embodies" (21) the discourse of professionalized motherhood, but unfortunately she doesn't consider the relationship between this discourse and the recent explosion of trans-exclusionary feminism for which I mumsnet i is significantly responsible. Also, especially given the concentration of trans-exclusionary feminism in the UK, McRobbie's analysis would have been stronger and more useful if it had considered how the neoliberal feminisms she studies in the book take cis women as their ideal subject. McRobbie's book is a valuable contribution to the growing scholarly literature on gender, feminism, and neoliberalism. [Extracted from the article]
