Her research interests centre on Women’s Studies as a discipline and on women’s cultural production, in particular theatre. Katarina Giritli Nygren is Associate Professor in Sociology, at the Mid Sweden University. Her current research deals with normalization in different contexts."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
This is the first book to explode the myth of Swedish gender equality, offering both a new perspective for an international audience, and suggesting how equality might be re-thought generally. The authors argue that whilst gender equality in Sweden has led to a society with increased opportunities for some, it has also become nationalistic and builds upon heteronormative and racial principles.
