Third Wave Feminism: A Critical Exploration

by Stacy Gillis (Editor), Gillian Howie (Editor), Rebecca Munford (Editor)

This timely, thoughtful and provocative collection explores the current period in feminism, known by many as the "third wave". Four sections--genealogies, sex and gender, popular culture, and challenges--interrogate the wave metaphor and, through questioning the generational account of feminism, move feminist theory beyond the present impasse between modernism and postmodernism and indicate possible future trajectories for the feminist movement.

[Junie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a comprehensive collection, ample in presenting the complexity of what feminism has become. Definitely could be used as a great text for a modern women's studies class.
