Feminist Theory, Fourth Edition

This first major study of feminist theory, revised and updated here in

its fourth edition, now takes the reader into the twenty-first century.

It addresses the basic question, "What is feminism?'' by outlining the

various strands of feminist theory: liberal, cultural, Marxist-socialist,

Freudian, and radical. This fourth edition brings the discussion up-to-date,

integrating the developments in feminist theory that have emerged in the

last two decades, such as ecofeminism, multiculturalism, postmodernism,

and global feminism-including new material since the publication of the

third edition (2000).
