This book highlights the way in which contemporary forms of governance, policy and politics have been reframed by women 'working the spaces of power'. It shows how they took activist commitments into their working lives, in the process negotiating the terrain of neoliberal governance. Their work generated new political movements, community initiatives, public policies, organizational logics and forms of 'knowledge work'. Newman draws on over 50 interviews with women from four generations to interrogate, develop and challenge existing approaches to understanding social and political change. In a postscript she traces ways in which the analysis might 'speak to the present' and offer resources for contemporary politics and practice. 2022-10-14T14:52:28Z 2022-10-14T14:52:28Z 2012 book ONIX_20221014_9781780932781_46 9781780932781 9781780932774 9781849665001 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58715 eng application/pdf n/a 9781780932781.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781849666725 10.5040/9781849666725 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781780932781 9781780932774 9781849665001 Bloomsbury Academic 224 London open access
