Ebook: Breaking Out Again: Feminist Ontology and Epistemology

Breaking Out, one of the classics of feminist sociology, was published by Routledge Kegan Paul in 1983 and hailed as a pioneering text in the development of a distinct feminist epistemology. It has been widely used and cited for nearly a decade. In this revised edition, Liz Stanley and Sue Wise locate Breaking Out and its critical reception in terms of academic feminism then and now, and review the main developments in feminist thinking on research issues since it first appeared.
