Sweden has the reputation of being one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, and it is often held up as a model for other societies&;but the reality is much more complicated, as this volume shows. The first book to provide a thorough analysis of the myth of Swedish gender equality, it demonstrates how that dominant idea has become a form of heteronormative, racially specific nationalism that ultimately excludes those who fall outside the social norm.
Industry Reviews
"Is gender equality a mantra disguising other inequalities? Is it a Swedish myth which creates Sweden as the most modern nation in the world? Find out in this inspiring book!" Harriet Silius, Abo Akademi University, Finland
"A thought-provoking book providing a penetrating analysis of the tensions and contradictions in the notion of gender equality in Sweden, this publication is a very welcomed contribution to the literature in the field" Sara Clavero, Centre for Advancement of Women in Politics, Queen's University Belfast
