Opis

This volume offers a multidisciplinary insight into the complex field of feminist thought. It contains over 500 commissioned from an international team of contributors and includes explanations of key themes and ideas. Each entry contains cross references and a bibliographic guide to further reading. Over 50 biographical entries provide readers with a sense of how the theories they encounter have developed out of the lives and situations of their authors. Areas covered include: traditional taxonomies of feminist theory (such as socialist thought); theoretical subdivisions (eg ecofeminism and feminist spirituality); and discipline-specific issues (such as philosophy and anthropology); the conceptual apparatus of gender theory (such as biologism); methodologies (such as deconstruction and narrative theory); intersections (with areas such asracial theory and queer theory); and political issues (such as citizenship and reproductive rights).

Recenzje

'The Encyclopedia of Feminist Theories represents an important contribution to feminist studies and scholarship and would be a valuable addition to reference collections in academic and research libraries, particularly those in institutions with women's studies programs. It also would be useful in large public libraries and special libraries in the humanities and social sciences.' - American Reference Books Annual 2000 Edition

'Academic libraries supporting Women's Studies programs should have it on their list for serious consideration. - Against the Grain
