This glossary is both an introduction to the key words of feminist critical theories and a guide to their origins. Acknowledging the variety of contemporary feminist theories, the glossary includes entries on black, post-colonial, Italian, and French feminisms, and draws on a wide range of fields including semiotics, psychoanalysis, structuralism, poststructuralism, and deconstruction.

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
