Synopsis

An introduction to the key words of feminist critical theories and a guide to their origins. The glossary includes entries on black, post-colonial, Italian and French feminisms and draws on a wide range of fields, including semiotics, psychoanalysis, structuralism, post-structuralism and deconstruction. The entries on the key words of feminist discourse do not attempt to be definitive, but instead demonstrate the inherently provisional and open-ended nature of working concepts.

Review:

... this invaluable glossary accounts in new ways for feminism's travel across time, geography, multiple identities, and various disciplines. The authors provide well-organised, thoroughly cross-referenced, and readable definitions of material that is often extremely difficult ... (J. Ariel, University of California, Irvine, in Cho)

I am very impressed with the succinctness of the definitions and discussions. (Professor Sheila Whiteley, Salford University)
