Catherine Rottenberg's paper discusses the emergence of neoliberal feminism in the USA, particularly through the works of Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In" and Anne-Marie Slaughter's "Why Women Still Can't Have It All." These manifestos, widely read and discussed, have sparked a debate about the role of feminism in the post-feminist era. Rottenberg argues that these texts reflect a shift from liberal feminism to neoliberal feminism, where the focus is on individual responsibility and self-care, rather than collective action and social justice. The new feminist subject, as portrayed in these manifestos, is characterized by a strong emphasis on personal well-being and a balanced work-life, often measured by a cost-benefit calculus. This shift is seen as a way to address gender inequality by individualizing the problem and promoting a market-oriented approach to success. Rottenberg also explores the cultural and political implications of this shift, suggesting that it may serve to reinforce neoliberal rationality and imperialist logic, while also providing a form of internal critique of the USA's commitment to liberal democracy. Despite the individualistic focus, Rottenberg notes that these manifestos still tap into a cultural need for self-empowerment and a sense of progress, even as they fail to address systemic issues of inequality.Catherine Rottenberg's paper discusses the emergence of neoliberal feminism in the USA, particularly through the works of Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In" and Anne-Marie Slaughter's "Why Women Still Can't Have It All."
