Contemporary feminist theory

About this book

"This combination text and reader provides an introduction to contemporary feminist theory oriented toward undergraduates as well as master;s-level students. Its organization around substantive topics and issues rather than conventional categories of feminist thinking effectively conveys the breadth and depth of feminist theorizing, demonstrating the intersections and eclecticism that have become its hallmark. It offers a strong, multicultural dimension, integrating diversity (race, ethnicity, class, and sexual orientation) within the discussion of substantive topics. As a supplement or as a main text, it will prove highly useful in courses in feminist theory and women;s studies, as well as in gender studies, sociology of women, and contemporary social/sociological theory."--pub desc.
