Customer Reviews

Must-have for exploring feminist theory!

I bought this for my 2000-level feminism class, and it's generated many lively discussions in my class. I'm also enjoying reading it on my own, however. It's perfect if you want to get to know feminist theory as it existed in the 80's and 90's. Gives a good, solid variety of feminist theorists, from Judith Butler to Audre Lorde; phenomonological, radical, post-modern, and psychoanalytical theorists. The difficulty of the readings also varies; some of the articles are difficult to follow without a philosophical background, while others are accessible to those new to feminist thought. Highly recommend! A great starting anthology.
