“…The prefix has been extensively discussed (e.g. Gamble, 2004;Genz and Brabon, 2009) as has the significance of using the word with or without hyphenation. A crucial point to highlight here is whether "post" always and necessarily means "after" -a question powerfully raised by Stuart Hall's essay "when was the post-colonial".…”

The term is contested and has been characterised in various different ways: as a backlash against feminism, to refer to an historical shift -a time "after" (second wave) feminism; to capture a sense of an epistemological break within feminism, suggesting an alignment with other "post" movements (poststructuralism, postmodernism and postcoloniality); and to propose connections to Third Wave.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. This article contributes to debates about the value and utility of the notion of postfeminism for a seemingly "new" moment marked by a resurgence of interest in feminism in the media and among young women. The paper reviews current understandings of postfeminism and criticisms of the term's failure to speak to or connect with contemporary feminism. It offers a defence of the continued importance of a critical notion of postfeminism, used as an analytical category to capture a distinctive contradictory-but-patterned sensibility intimately connected to neoliberalism. The paper raises questions about the meaning of the apparent new visibility of feminism and highlights the multiplicity of different feminisms currently circulating in mainstream media culture -which exist in tension with each other. I argue for the importance of being able to "think together" the rise of popular feminism alongside and in tandem with intensified misogyny. I further show how a postfeminist sensibility informs even those media productions that ostensibly celebrate the new feminism. Ultimately, the paper argues that claims that we have moved "beyond" postfeminism are (sadly) premature, and the notion still has much to offer feminist cultural critics. Permanent repository link:

“…These first feminists argued that many of the "apparent" differences between men and women were actually socially constructed (Arneil, 1999). First wave feminists were primarily concerned with issues of education, employment, and marriage laws (Gamble, 1999). In addition, the women in the movement were very concerned with suffrage for women (Gamble, 1999).…”

“…Sarah Gamble (2004) defined consciousness-raising in the following way: Consciousness-raising (or CR) was a primary tactic of second wave feminism, which regarded it as a way of developing a shared consciousness of oppression among women. Consciousness-raising groups were founded on the credo that 'the personal is political,' encouraging participants to share their personal life experiences, such as childhood, motherhood and marriage.…”

This paper constructs the mechanisms of feminist consciousness-raising and face to face feminism as a teaching and nurturing style of life in Jeffrey Zaslow's The Girls from Ames (2009). The paper also constructs an argument that the Ames girls' less-political circle of consciousness-raising works as a social process that helps them learn from each other how to comprehend and name their experiences, and how to identify and assess their commonalities and differences. As findings, this study proves with evidence from text the powers of feminist consciousness-raising, which has been an important feminist practice since the beginning of the second feminist wave, not only in maintaining the mental and physical health of the ten women, but in helping the girls survive the challenges of their ever-changing society, build new identities and overcome their misfortunes as well.
