Ann Ferguson

Opis

Ann Ferguson, one of the most influential socialist-feminist theorists, develops a new theory of social domination. Ferguson defends a multisystems approach encompassing not just sex, race, and class but their overlapping interactions as well. The result is a richer and ultimately more fruitful account of oppression in contemporary society.
