Recenzje

"...Derrida and Feminism is an engaging collection of essays..." -- Dialogue
"This is an interesting anthology that probes the intersection of feminism and deconstruction. Some of the most promising work to be found here is that of younger scholars who will most certainly remap the terrain of feminist theory." -- Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley
"... excelent ... [T]he authors provide refreshingly engaged and deep readings of the role of woman in Derrida's texts ... Overall, Derrida and Feminism is an outstanding colection of essays because it provides analyses and criticisms from within deconstructive thinking ..., but goes beyond that thinking to open up new paths for feminist theorizing." -- Teaching Philosophy
