Description

Introducing Contemporary Feminist Thought by Mary Evans provides a concise and lucid account of the main developments in contemporary feminist thinking. This introductory textbook explores how feminist thought challenges traditional ways of understanding the world, arguing that most accounts since the Enlightenment have been based on a distinction between public and private spheres that excluded women. Evans examines key themes such as the body, representation, engendering knowledge, and the relationship between women and the state, demonstrating that feminist thought seeks to re-theorize social and symbolic worlds. This book offers a clear guide to contemporary feminism for students of women's studies, gender studies, sociology, social theory, and literary theory. By exploring the implications of gender difference, Evans provides a comprehensive understanding of contemporary feminist thought, making this an essential resource for those looking to engage with this important area of intellectual enquiry.
