Introducing Women's Studies: Feminist Theory and Practice by Diane Richardson and Victoria Robinson (editors) - 1994

London: Macmillan, 1994. Some very minor shelfwear, otherwise bright and clean. 421 pages including the index. Women's Studies is a rapidly expanding field of study with its own concepts, theories and methodologies. Feminist insights are also transforming the academic disciplines. In the last twenty years there has been a wealth of feminist theory from a variety of perspectives, and to date there has been no comprehensive textbook introducing the main themes and issues in an accessible way. This interdisciplinary introduction to Women's Studies does just this. It looks at the major subject areas of Women's Studies including, among others, "race", feminist theory, sexuality, health, education, work, the family, literature, representation, as well as debates within Women's Studies itself. Each chapter provides an overview of the main issues and debates within each area and offers suggestions for further reading.. Reprint. Large Softcover. Near Fine. 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Womens Studies.
