Book Description

0415184916 978-0415184915 September 1, 2000 1
Global Feminisms Since 1945 is an innovative historical introduction to the issues of contemporary feminism, with a truly global perspective. It is a concise anthology considering the similarities and differences between feminisms in West and East, North and South, and highlighting class, racial, ethnic and imperial tensions and claims in the twentieth century. The book analyses the roots, development and, in some cases, the conclusions of feminisms and how they have interacted.
From the European and American feminist movements to those in the ex-Soviet Union and women's rights groups in Africa and East Asia, Global Feminisms Since 1945 examines the key economic, technological, sexual, reproductive, ecological and political debates.

By A Customer
This review is from: Global Feminisms Since 1945 (Rewriting Histories) (Paperback)
This is the book I am going to buy and read. just to use this space to let you know that I was confused by the title of this item, as a book by the same editor is called Global feminisms Since 1945, I found out that is the actual title of the book you are listed here. Hope you will corrrect the title for this page soon to eliminate the confusion.
