Gender/Body/Knowledge: Feminist Reconstructions of Being and Knowing

by Kimberly Guinta, Susan Bordo (Editor)

The essays in this interdisciplinary collection share the conviction that modern western paradigms of knowledge and reality are gender-biased. Some contributors challenge and revise western conceptions of the body as the domain of the biological and 'natural,' the enemy of reason, typically associated with women.

Excellent book: charismatic, coherent, convincing. NOT for inflamed activists!
