Customer Reviews

Thorough academic review

This is an exceedingly dense review of four feminist political theories: liberal feminism, marxist feminism, radical feminism, and socialist feminism. Jaggar is incredibly thorough, and sometimes a bit redundant - probably in an effort to miss nothing. Her review covers these theories and their relations to contemporary politics, human nature, and each other. Probably a good starting point for anyone interested in Feminist Political Theory provided you're not overwhelmed by her rhetoric and style of writing. Otherwise, very valuable.
