'There are several titles that review the historical background and
philosophical development of various branches of feminist theory,
and Nye's new work must be counted among the best. It is lucid,
comprehensive, and tightly written. The author's grasp of the
dialectical and substantive intricacies of the various theories
discussed is quite impressive. There are exceptionally good
discussions of the relationship between Marxism and feminism, on
feminism and psychoanalysis, and on reconstruction and feminism.
Indeed, Nye's exposition of the notoriously arcane work of Lacan,
Derrida, and the French semioticians is among the most masterful in
the literature. Although Nye's notion of the theory of feminist
practice is rather sketchy, she succeeds in provoking the deepest
kind of thinking about these issues by the sheer intelligence of
her overall analysis. A necessary addition for any college library.
Should be viewed as one of the representative works in the field.'
