This first major study of feminist theory, revised and updated here in
its fourth edition, now takes the reader into the twenty-first century.
It addresses the basic question, What is feminism?'' by outlining the
various strands of feminist theory: liberal, cultural, Marxist-socialist,
Freudian, and radical. This fourth edition brings the discussion up-to-date,
integrating the developments in feminist theory that have emerged in the
last two decades, such as ecofeminism, multiculturalism, postmodernism,
and global feminism-including new material since the publication of the
third edition (2000).
