Product Description
Review
'Claire Colebrook's book, Gender, achieves the monumental task of pursuing a genealogy of gender from ancient times through three waves of feminist debate. Colebrook manages not only to cover a vast range of knowledge in succinct and lucid detail, but to do so with an eye to drawing out themes that shed new light on the terms of contemporary discussions...A historically informed and conceptually clarifying background for anyone interested in following or contributing to contemporary debates on gender and sexual difference.' - Tamsin Lorraine, Philosophy Department, Swarthmore College
'Claire Colebrook's Gender should be on the reading list for all courses in women's studies, literary criticism and contemporary theory. Its uniquely even-handed approach to once-inflammatory issues of gender and women's sexuality presents these movements as thoroughly comprehended and ready to yield to fresh thinking. Beautifully argued in Colebrook's crystalline and informed expository prose, this exhaustive work ... provide[s] succinct and cogent readings of the major movements and philosophico-historic contexts of gender thinking, from Plato to Gatens, with passes through such opponents as Marx and Foucault, first wave, second and third wave feminism, and Kristeva and Deleuze.' - Juliet Flower MacCannell, Professor Emerita, Comparative Literature, University of California
