Understanding Feminism

Each chapter focuses on a different cluster of concerns, demonstrating key moves in second-wave feminist thought as well as some of the diversity in response-strategies that encompass both socio-economic and cultural-symbolic concerns. This approach not only shows how central feminist insights, theories and strategies emerge and re-emerge across different contexts but makes clear that, far from being "over," feminism remains a vital response to the diverse issues that women (and men) find pressing and socially important.
