The problem she assesses is more fundamental to contemporary liberalism, as such. You might be able to find the introduction online, and I’m confident the first few pages will convince you of its relevance to the current moment. Also, Mouffe is a woman ;)

Read The Democratic Paradox by Chantal Mouffe for some explanation of why this is a trap the Dems find themselves in.
