Reviews

[Dasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Make every old academic who says we can't use "I" in dissertations read this.

[Chris Friend · Rating 4 out of 5]

As others here have said, it's quite useful, quite thorough, and quite challenging...sometimes to the point of being inaccessible. A valuable text, to say the least, this one is for solid theoretical study, not a casual weekend read.

[Kristen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great collection of key feminist theorists. At times the essays are inaccessible. BUT a very hand reference.

Very helpful

I feel more than sufficiently informed to write the feminist standpoint section of my methodology chapter. the interlude with Hekman is HILARIOUS.
