Ebook: Contemporary Feminist Thought

"This book grew out of a course that I taught at Barnard College in New
York from 1975 to 1980. It is addressed to (at least) two audiences. For the
reader new to feminism. it is intended as an introduction and a guide to
further reading. I hope that the book will be of use in Women's Studies
courses, and in courses on political and social theory, literary criticism,
psychology, sociology, and other topics requiring a grounding in feminist
concepts. It should also be of interest to the general reader concerned with
issues of gender, politics, and society. For the reader already fully conversant
with feminist concepts, it is a critical history and analysis of their
development in the United States, offered as a contribution to the ongoing
debate over the future of feminist theory and the women's movement." --Hester Eisenstein
