Editorial Reviews

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 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
