Great Textbook, BUT Not Much Is New In This Edition,
By A Customer
This review is from: Feminist Frontiers (Paperback)
As always, Feminist Frontiers is a great collection of essays -- a great textbook for any Women's Studies class. However, not much has been updated in this 5th edition. As far as I can tell, it is virtually the same as the 4th edition. I think getting a used copy of Feminist Frontiers IV (ISBN 0070523797) is a much better value. Either way, you will thoroughly enjoy the readings in this book.

Good, Comprehensive, but Older Edition a Better Value,
By "armchair_academic_used_books" (Saint Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feminist Frontiers (Paperback)
As always, an excellent collection of readings. However, not all that much is new compared to the 4th edition (ISBN: 0070523797). I suggest buying the last edition (which is selling used for only $...) and saving yourself a bundle. Use the ISBN to search, otherwise the 4th edition doesn't come up on Amazon searches.
