A comprehensive overview of feminist scholarship edited by an
internationally recognized and leading figure in the field
Companion to Feminist Studies provides a broad overview of the rich
history and the multitude of approaches, theories, concepts, and
debates central to this dynamic interdisciplinary field.
Comprehensive yet accessible, this edited volume offers expert
insights from contributors of diverse academic, national, and
activist backgrounds--discussing contemporary research and themes
while offering international, postcolonial, and intersectional
perspectives on social, political, cultural, and economic
institutions, social media, social justice movements, everyday
discourse, and more. Organized around three different dimensions of
Feminist Studies, the Companion begins by exploring ten theoretical
frameworks, including feminist epistemologies examining Marxist and
Socialist Feminism, the activism of radical feminists, the
contributions of Black feminist thought, and interrelated
approaches to the fluidity of gender and sexuality. The second
section focuses on methodologies and analytical frameworks
developed by feminist scholars, including empiricists, economists,
ethnographers, cultural analysts, and historiographers. The volume
concludes with detailed discussion of the many ways in which
pedagogy, political ecology, social justice, globalization, and
other areas within Feminist Studies are shaped by feminism in
practice. A major contribution to scholarship on both the
theoretical foundations and contemporary debates in the field, this
