Description

Feminism: A Very Short Introduction by Margaret Walters provides an historical account of feminism, exploring its earliest roots as well as key issues including voting rights and the liberation of the sixties. This analysis brings the subject up to date, examining the current situation of women across the globe, from Europe and the United States to Third World countries. The book touches on the difficulties and inequities that women still face, such as combining domesticity, motherhood, and work outside the house. Walters offers a nuanced exploration of female emancipation in different cultural and economic environments. This concise introduction is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, which provides pocket-sized books on almost every subject area.
