Essential reading for anyone who needs an accessible but stimulating guide to the relationship between feminism and deconstruction. A clear and stimulating guide through one of the mazes of contemporary theory.

In this work, several generations of academic feminists reflect on the history and identity of feminism. The first section articulates feminism's historical concerns by asking questions about feminism as a history. The second section explores more fully how feminism is in conflict with itself. Challenging the contention that a comprehensive or representative feminism is possible, these essays confront the changing conceptions of feminism.
