Synopsis

In this survey of feminist theory, Rosemarie Tong provides coverage of the psychoanalytic, existential and postmodern schools of feminism. The author guides the reader through the complexities of even the most notoriously difficult thinkers. Students will meet and become familiar with many of the essential figures in the feminist tradition, from Wollstonecraft and Engel, on through de Beauvoir, Dinnerstein, and Daly, and up to Mitchell and Cixous. The text treats all views with respect and encourages students to think critically and sympathetically about a wide range of views that have a direct relevance to their own lives.

Revue de presse

"Feminist Thought cogently demonstrates the diverse and rich areas of feminist theory-from radical to difference feminism, Tong and Botts detail the ways that race, gender, class, and sexuality intertwine in understandings of oppression and power."―Erin Heidt-Forsythe, Pennsylvania State University

"This book is the most comprehensive survey of feminist thought in the U.S. from the eighteenth century to the present that I have found. The authors do an excellent job of setting the historical context and demonstrating how feminist thought has evolved and developed based upon multiple perspectives. It is the best overall survey of feminist thought in the U.S. to date."―Glenna L. Simons, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College
