This text questions whether in fact we do live in a postmodern age.
Its critique of postmodernist, feminist thought offers a broad
introduction to postmodernist thought and in the process
reconsiders the modernist position. The first half of the book is
critical in focus, offering a critique of some of the most
influential feminist theorists and of postmodernism as a movement.
This section concludes with a defence of "realism" in the theory of
meaning arguing that we should not wholly reject the liberal
humanist subject. The second half of the book is a reassessment of
the notions of essentialism, the humanist subject, and knowledge of
an objective reality. Contrary to some postmodernists, for example,
it argues that some viewpoints can be described as true or false,
right or wrong; and that we can make claims that are universally
true of women. For the student, this text aims to provide an
overview of postmodernism and French feminist thought, giving
pointers to major protagonists and further reading.
