Feminist Theory, Fourth Edition: The Intellectual Traditions - Softcover

"A masterful survey of the philosophical and intellectual roots of contemporary feminism. The author provides lucid comprehensive discussions of the main intellectual traditions of feminist theory.Intelligent, balanced, accurate, and informed, Feminist Theory is a major addition to the canon of feminist literature." (Choice (also named An Outstanding Academic Book in Choice))"

This first major study of feminist theory, revised and updated here in
its fourth edition, now takes the reader into the twenty-first century.
It addresses the basic question, "What is feminism?'' by outlining the
various strands of feminist theory: liberal, cultural, Marxist-socialist,
Freudian, and radical. This fourth edition brings the discussion up-to-date,
integrating the developments in feminist theory that have emerged in the
last two decades, such as ecofeminism, multiculturalism, postmodernism,
and global feminism-including new material since the publication of the
third edition (2000).
