| Summary |
"Contemporary Feminist Theories was inspired by a dissatisfaction with existing introductions, which often fail to fully track change and capture diversity within feminist thought. The volume draws on the expertise of a range of Western feminists in order to reflect the breadth of feminist theory as well as shifts within it. Each chapter maps the development of feminist thought in a particular area over time, and suggests future directions." "Reflecting the diversity of feminist theory in fields from literature and linguistics to science and politics, this multidisciplinary map of feminist thinking is an ideal classroom text."--Jacket. |
