A new edition of a classic work on the history of feminism. Writing
about changes in the notion of womanhood, Denise Riley examines, in
the manner of Foucault, shifting historical constructions of the
category of "women" in relation to other categories central to
concepts of personhood: the soul, the mind, the body, nature, the
social. Feminist movements, Riley argues, have had no choice but to
play out this indeterminacy of women. This is made plain in their
oscillations, since the 1790s, between concepts of equality and of
difference. To fully recognize the ambiguity of the category of
"women" is, she contends, a necessary condition for an effective
feminist political philosophy.
