Description
The Feminine Subject by Susan J. Hekman is a comprehensive analysis of feminist theory and its evolution over time. Building on the foundational work of Simone de Beauvoir, Hekman explores the development of feminist thought from the 1940s to the present day. This book examines key concepts such as the relational self, feminist liberalism, Marxism, and various forms of feminism, including radical, postmodern, and material feminism. Hekman argues that each approach builds on previous ones, contributing to a cumulative process of redefining what it means to be "woman". The result is a nuanced understanding of the changing nature of feminism since the 1950s. A wide-ranging analysis, The Feminine Subject will appeal to feminist scholars and students as well as anyone interested in the evolution of feminist theory.
