Provoking Feminisms

by Carolyn Allen (Editor), Judith A. Howard (Editor)

A collection of essays, comments and replies on some of the contentious issues in feminist theory. Specific conversations centre on topics of debate such as feminist standpoint theory; gender as an analytic category; problems with sexual difference; and privacy and representations of the personal. Each exchange covers issues central to feminist scholarship and includes discussions from a cross-section of disciplines: political/social theory, philosophy, sociology, cultural studies and critical theory.

Read this in college when I was dappling in Women's Studies. I found it a much better read now that I am older, even though I found it transformative then. I love the inherent tension in feminist academic writing.
