Synopsis
What makes feminist theory feminist? How did so many different feminisms come to exist? Judith Grant addresses these questions by offering a critical exploration of the evolution of feminist theory and the state of feminist thinking today. She provides an assessment of the key problems of contemporary feminist thought, and identifies a set of common assumptions that link the wide variety of feminist theories in existence. "Fundamental Feminism" calls for nothing less than a substantial revision of the core concepts responsible for shaping feminist theory. Grant identifies and criticizes these concepts - "woman", "experience" and "personal politics" - from their origins in pamphlets and writings which appeared during the early women's liberation movement to their current construction in feminist thought. She then connects a number of major contemporary debates to the longstanding influence of these core assumptions. The debates include: the hegemony of the white female perspective; the tensions between anti-pornography and pro-sex feminists; and the discussions surrounding the challenges presented by postmodernism.

Présentation de l'éditeur
In Fundamental Feminism, Judith Grant explores the evolution of feminist theory as well as the state of today's feminist thought. Pointing to the main problems within feminism, Grant calls for a substantial revision of the core concepts responsible for shaping today's feminist theory. Grant identifies and critiques three core concepts in feminist theory--"woman," "experience," and "personal politics"--from their origins in pamphlets and writings in the early women's liberation movement to their current construction in feminist thought. She connects a number of key debates in feminism today to the longstanding influence of these core assumptions. These debates include the hegemony of the white female perspective, the tension between anti-pornography and pro-sex feminists, and the challenges presented by postmodernism. Fundamental Feminism is provocative reading for anyone interested in the future of feminist theory and the power of feminist politics.
