Product Description

This dictionary provides succinct definitions of more than 600 terms, topics, movements and approaches as well as influential feminist thinkers, activists and critics within feminist theory. Entries cover a wide range of cross-cultural issues relating to family, work, sexuality, gender, race, imperialism, and representation. There are also explanations of terms within Anglo-Americanism and French feminist literary theory that have come into common usage, including ''Backlash'', Postcolonialism'', ''Postmodernism'' and ''Queer Theory''.
From ''Autobiography'' to ''Writing the Body'', from ''Abortion'' to ''Work'' and from ''Anzaldua'' to ''Zimmerman'', the Dictionary is a valuable source for anyone interested in the ideas behind feminism or those approaching contemporary feminist thought for the first time.
