By Ingrid Biese

Opting Out and In introduces a new perspective and definition of opting out that better reflects contemporary issues and lifestyles as well as providing a clear and critical analysis on what it is that propels women to opt out; the workings of identity before, during, and after the opting out process; and what it is that they opt in to instead in the new lifestyles they adopt. Written in an engaging and accessible style, Opting Out and In will strongly appeal to researchers and practitioners alike. The book will appeal to scholars and researchers in the field of social theory, globalization, feminist studies, and identity studies.
