Feminist political theory : an introduction

This volume provides both a wide-ranging history of Western feminist thought and a lucid analysis of contemporary debates. It offers an accessible and thought-provoking account of complex theories, which it relates to "real life" issues such as sexual violence, political representation and the family. This edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate developments in feminism and feminist scholarship throughout, in particular taking into account the impact of black and post-modern feminist thought on feminist political theory.
