This major textbook for women's studies provides an excellent and wide-ranging introduction to feminist ideas and perspectives on issues such as the family, sexuality, work, education, patriarchy, race, language, culture and representation. It brings together over seventy key excerpts.
Used this book for my university work on feminism throughout the ages, the book provided fantastic, straight-forward and interesting information about the history and origins of feminism and how feminism grew throughout the 20th century. Also found the inclusion of feminist writers throughout the first-wave and second-wave periods very helpful to my research.
