Product Information
Feminists opened up thousands of doors in the 1960s and 1970s, but decades later, are U.S. women where they thought they'd be? The answer, it turns out, is a resounding no. Surely there have been gains. Women now comprise nearly 60 percent of college undergraduates and half of all medical and law students. They have entered the workforce in record numbers, making the two-wage-earner family the norm. But combining a career and family turned out to be more complicated than expected. While women changed, social structures surrounding work and family remained static. Affordable and high-quality child care, paid family leave, and equal pay for equal work remain elusive for the vast majority of working women. In fact, the nation has fallen far behind other parts of the world on the gender-equity front. We lag behind more than seventy countries when it comes to the percentage of women holding elected federal offices. Only 17 percent of corporate boards include women members. And just 5 percent of Fortune 500 companies are led by women. It's time, says Madeleine M. Kunin, to change all that. Looking back over five decades of advocacy, she analyzes where progress stalled, looks at the successes of other countries, and charts the course for the next feminist revolution--one that mobilizes women, and men, to call for the kind of government and workplace policies that can improve the lives of women and strengthen their families.

Reviews
"In this important new book, Madeleine Kunin argues that empowering women to succeed at home and at work is both good economics and good social policy. She presents a convincing roadmap for how we achieve that vision, and calls on all of us to be part of a brighter future." --President Bill Clinton, "Madeline Kunin reinvigorates the feminist movement, bringing the discussion of women's rights to a new generation and into our new social paradigm. This fresh look at the woman of today-balancing work and family-raises questions about how far we have really come and inspires a new advocacy agenda for women and families." --Rosa L. DeLauro, member of Congress, "Madeleine Kunin draws from her vast experience to craft a sweeping yet highly realistic plan for how all of us can contribute to a more just world that will benefit women and men-and their families. She offers a timely prescription for much of what ails our business and political cultures." --Brad Harrington, executive director, Center for Work & Family, Boston College, " The New Feminist Agenda is singing our song! It is time for us to take the next leap forward for women and families. When we get rid of the huge bias against mothers in hiring, wages ,and advancement, we will have more women in leadership, far fewer children living in poverty, and a better future." --Joan Blades, cofounder of MoveOn.org and MomsRising, "Women's social and economic gains over the past thirty years have been staggering - but equally staggering is how little America has changed in response. What's needed is a new feminist agenda to bring the country up to date. Madeleine Kunin, one of the nation's foremost leaders, has stepped up to the plate and delivered us a home run. The agenda she advocates is powerful, relevant, and necessary."--Robert B. Reich, author of Aftershock, former U.S. Secretary of Labor, "Madeleine Kunin has long recognized that women hold the potential to transform companies, countries, and the global economy as a whole. In The New Feminist Agenda, she convinces us that it will be the smart organizations and governments that embrace this reality and create the change necessary for all women to reach their full potential and to make their full contribution."--James H. Wall, Deloitte, "Madeline Kunin reinvigorates the feminist movement, bringing the discussion of women's rights to a new generation and into our new social paradigm. This fresh look at the woman of today-balancing work and family-raises questions about how far we have really come and inspires a new advocacy agenda for women and families." --Rosa L. DeLauro, U.S. Representative, "Women's social and economic gains over the past thirty years have been staggering - but equally staggering is how little America has changed in response. What's needed is a new feminist agenda to bring the country up to date. Madeleine Kunin, one of the nation's foremost leaders, has stepped up to the plate and delivered us a home run. The agenda she advocates is powerful, relevant, and necessary." --Robert B. Reich, author of Aftershock , former U.S. Secretary of Labor, The New Feminist Agenda is a powerful declaration of family values. With clarity and conviction, Madeleine Kunin presents a strong case for the economics and ethics of equality at home, in the workplace, and in government. There are no shortcuts to social change: action, imagination, and optimism--starting right now. --Barbara Lee, president and founder, Barbara Lee Family Foundation|9781603582919|, "Despite the substantial gains made by women in my lifetime, women and families need more. Governor Kunin has defined the new agenda for women-and like-minded men-leading the fight for progress in business, government, education, and society in the years ahead."-- Carolyn B. Maloney, U.S. Representative, "As one of the first woman governors, Madeleine Kunin knows how to make history and chart a positive course for women."--Ellen Malcolm, founder, Emily's List, "Madeline Kunin reinvigorates the feminist movement, bringing the discussion of women's rights to a new generation and into our new social paradigm. This fresh look at the woman of today-balancing work and family-raises questions about how far we have really come and inspires a new advocacy agenda for women and families."--Rosa L. DeLauro, U.S. Representative, "Madeleine Kunin draws from her vast experience to craft a sweeping yet highly realistic plan for how all of us can contribute to a more just world that will benefit women and men-and their families. She offers a timely prescription for much of what ails our business and political cultures."--Brad Harrington, executive director, Center for Work & Family, Boston College, Booklist- If You've Come a Long Way, Baby! was the rallying cry for the 1970s feminist movement, then But Not Far Enough could be the vanguard's chagrined chant now. From salary equity to corporate and civic leadership positions, the goals of the second wave of feminism are still far from being met. Pegging any advancement of the feminist cause to the substandard condition of the family, Kunin cogently examines myriad instances where feminist goals and family needs intersect. A former governor and U.S. ambassador, this working mother of four knows whereof she speaks. If a society is only as healthy as the least among its members, then the U.S.' paltry record vis-a-vis child care and employment programs that protect rather than penalize working parents of both genders has shown how those concerns are apparently of no concern to business executives and government leaders. Citing countless examples of how the U.S. compares with other industrialized nations on women's issues, Kunin offers reasonable advice for correcting an unreasonable situation., "Madeleine Kunin has long recognized that women hold the potential to transform companies, countries, and the global economy as a whole. In The New Feminist Agenda , she convinces us that it will be the smart organizations and governments that embrace this reality and create the change necessary for all women to reach their full potential and to make their full contribution." --James H. Wall, Deloitte, "The New Feminist Agenda is a powerful declaration of family values. With clarity and conviction, Madeleine Kunin presents a strong case for the economics and ethics of equality at home, in the workplace, and in government. There are no shortcuts to social change: action, imagination, and optimism--starting right now."--Barbara Lee, president and founder, Barbara Lee Family Foundation, "Madeleine Kunin wants feminists to focus on the family. We've made great strides-nearly two-thirds of women are primary breadwinners for their families or share that responsibility with a partner-but this leaves more work to be done as full-time, stay-at-home caregivers become increasingly rare. Thank you, Madeleine, for pointing the way forward for 21st century feminists." --Heather Boushey, Center for American Progress, "Despite the substantial gains made by women in my lifetime, women and families need more. Governor Kunin has defined the new agenda for women-and like-minded men-leading the fight for progress in business, government, education, and society in the years ahead." -- Carolyn B.
