Feminisms (Oxford Readers)

Feminisms (Oxford Readers)

Spanning nearly two decades, from 1980 to 1996, this <em>Reader</em> investigates the debates which have best characterized feminist theory. Including such articles as <em>Pornography and Fantasy</em>, <em>The Body and Cinema</em>, <em>Nature as Female</em>, and <em>A Manifesto for Cyborgs</em>, the extracts examine thoughts on sexualtiy as a domain of exploration, the visual representation of women, what being a feminist means, and why feminists are increasingly involved in political struggles to negotiate the context and meaning of technological development.<br /> With writings by bell hooks, Alice Jardine, and Andrea Dworkin, this multicultural <em>Reader</em> reflects the dynamic nature of feminist debates and the genuine diversity within current feminist theory. Capturing the sense of the rapid movement within feminist theory and criticism, <em>Feminisms</em> is ideal for anyone interested in feminism and the history behind it.<br />
