The feminist thinkers in this collection are the designated
"fifty-one key feminist thinkers," historical and contemporary, and
also the authors of the entries. Collected here are fifty-one key
thinkers and fifty-one authors, recognizing that women are
fifty-one percent of the population. There are actually one hundred
and two thinkers collected in these pages, as each author is a
feminist thinker, too: scholars, writers, poets, and activists,
well-established and emerging, old and young and in-between. These
feminists speak the languages of art, politics, literature,
education, classics, gender studies, film, queer theory, global
affairs, political theory, science fiction, African American
studies, sociology, American studies, geography, history,
philosophy, poetry, and psychoanalysis. Speaking in all these
diverse tongues, conversations made possible by feminist thinking
are introduced and engaged. Key figures include: Simone de Beauvoir
Doris Lessing Toni Morrison Cindy Sherman Octavia Butler Marina
Warner Elizabeth Cady Stanton Chantal Akerman Betty Friedan Audre
Lorde Margaret Fuller Sappho Adrienne Rich Each entry is supported
by a list of the thinker's major works, along with further reading
suggestions. An ideal resource for students and academics alike,
this text will appeal to all those interested in the fields of
gender studies, women's studies and women's history and politics.
