O knihe

"Feminist Social Thought" brings together key articles by prominent feminist thinkers, offering students sophisticated treatment of the theoretical topics central to feminist social thought. This reader 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?
