For a relatively short book, there is a lot in The Rise of Neoliberal Feminism. Rottenberg turns her analytical eye to a range of cultural products, from the "have it all" privileged musings of Ivanka Trump to "mommy blogs" and popular TV shows such as CBS' The Good Wife and the Danish series Borgen, in which it becomes painfully apparent that in order to maintain the moral high ground in the future, "Brigitte will have to do a better job
balancing family and work." It is an all too familiar pattern." - Emma Rees Times Higher Education
