- This 100,000 word monograph represents an extended theoretical and empirical analysis of the persistence of contemporary gendered inequality. It compares and contrasts two figures: that of the youthful Girl, emblem of capitalist success, and that of the mid-life woman, whose devaluing is embedded in the same logic as the young woman’ success. Time, temporality, age and stage are discussed as key features associated with this trajectory and over the course of six chapters the social, cultural and political dimensions of this are elaborated, theory interwoven with empirical examples. Research for this book was partly supported by a Leverhulme International Fellowship.
