Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Perfect for... individual students of twentieth-century feminist thought, this book contains seventy-plus excerpts from the classic works of writers from America, Britain, and France.
(Feminist Bookstore News )Superbly well executed...like all good collections this is more than the sum of its parts. I wolud recommend it to all women's studies students -in the U.S.A., Canada, and Australia -not to mention Europe.

Collectively these essays, along with the editor's clear introductions, provide the challenge for Western cultures. This book of classic essays will itself become a classic.
