"Feminist Social Thought" brings together key articles by prominent
feminist thinkers, offering students sophisticated treatment of the

highlights salient concerns in contemporary feminist scholarship
and the advances feminist philosophers have made.
The editor's introduction outlines alternative routes through the
text, allowing instructors to easily adapt this reader to their
particular courses and the interests of their students. Each
article is prefaced with a short introduction by the editor placing
it in context, highlighting the principle issues and the
conclusions reached. Students will find these headnotes helpful
when tackling the challenging theoretical issues addressed.
Representing a spectrum of feminist thinking, "Feminist Social"
"Thought" is organized around seven topics constructions of gender;
theorizing diversity; figurations of women; subjectivity, agency
and feminist critique; social identity, solidarity and political
engagement; care and its critics; and women, equality and justice.
Students will be exposed to a wide variety of feminist philosophy
and encouraged to think critically about challenging questions
around pivotal subjects including
* How are gender norms instilled, enforced, and perpetuated?
* What are the relationships between gender and other socially
demarcated positions such as race, class and sexual
orientation?
* What resources do women have at their disposal for recognizing
their subordination and resisting it?
* What goals should feminist politics pursue?
* How can social and legal equality be reconciled with
difference?
