A vicious circle of silent exclusion : family homelessness and poverty in Sweden from a single mother perspective

Although women's underrepresentation in senior-level positions in the workplace has multiple causes, women's self-improvement or "empowerment" at work has recently attracted cultural attention as a solution. For example, the bestselling book Lean In states that women can tackle gender inequality themselves by overcoming the "internal barriers" (e.g., lack of confidence and ambition) that prevent success. We sought to explore the consequences of this type of women's empowerment ideology. Study 1 found that perceptions of women's ability to solve inequality were associated with attributions of women's responsibility to do so. Studies 2, 3, 5a, and 5b experimentally manipulated exposure to women's empowerment messages, finding that while such messages increase perceptions that women are empowered to solve workplace gender inequality, they also lead to attributions that women are more responsible both for creating and solving the problem. Study 4 found a similar pattern in the context of a specific workplace problem, and found that such messages also lead to a preference for interventions focused on changing women rather than changing the system. Studies 5a and 5b sought to replicate prior studies and document the weakened effects of messages that explicitly explain that women's "internal barriers" are the products of "external barriers" obstructing women's progress. This research suggests that self-improvement messages intended to empower women to take charge of gender inequality may also yield potentially harmful societal beliefs.

Lean in messages increase attributions of women's responsibility for gender inequality.

In her latest book “Fortunes of Feminism: From State-Managed Capitalism to Neoliberal Crisis,” Nancy Fraser contends with liberal feminism’s troubling convergence with capitalism, and the ways in which feminism can provide a veneer of liberation for a system of relentless exploitation. Advancing a critique of capitalism and a radically different vision of feminism, she shows how gender justice must lie at the heart of any struggle for an egalitarian society. Lately, Fraser has turned to address what she calls a “crisis of care.”

Capitalism's Crisis of Care

In its U.S. form, argues Nancy Fraser, progressive neoliberalism is an alliance of mainstream currents of new social movements on the one side, and high-end “symbolic” and service-based business sectors on the other. In this alliance, progressive forces are effectively joined with the forces of cognitive capitalism, especially financialization. However unwittingly, the former lend their charisma to the latter. What Trump's voters rejected was not neoliberalism tout court, says Fraser, but progressive neoliberalism. But Johanna Brenner disagrees with her subtle, yet distinct, attack on social movements as handmaidens to the rise of neoliberalism.
