Product Description
Product Description
`A feminist is a woman who does not allow anyone to think in her place.' Michele Le Doeuff Spanning nearly two decades (1980-1996), the six sections of this reader investigate the debates which have most characterized feminist theory to date. Including articles such as `Pornography and Fantasy', `The Body and Cinema', `Nature as Female', and `A Manifesto for Cyborgs', the extracts in Feminisms explore thoughts on sexuality as a domain of exploration, the visual representation of women, what being a feminist means, and why feminists are increasingly involved in political struggles to negotiate the context and meaning of technological development. With writing by bell hooks, Alice Jardine, and Andrea Dworkin, this multi-cultural Oxford Reader reflects the dynamic nature of feminist debates and the genuine diversity within current feminist theory.

Format:Paperback
I used this book as part of my studies for Feminist Theory class at university and I have to say that it has been one of the most interesting and informative texts that I have read so far on my degree. Feminisms is a comprehensive collection of feminist theories from ALL areas of feminist criticism including gynocritics, ecriture feminine, lesbianism and black feminism from well known critics such as Elaine Showalter, Bell Hooks and Luce Irigray. This book not only manages to cover the diversity of positions that exist within feminism but is also highly accessable and easy to use. I'd reccomend it to anyone who is studying or just wants to gain a deeper knowledge of feminist criticism.
