The SAGE Handbook of Feminist Theory by Mary Evans

A state of the art guide to the issues and debates surrounding feminist theory, mapping both the present and the future of this broad, interdisciplinary field.

Both the vibrancy and value of contemporary feminist theory are on display in this finely edited HandbookWide-ranging, innovative, and critically astute, the volume will be essential reading for those already attuned to feminist theory and to those finding their way in its debates for the first time.

-- Professor Robyn Wiegman

Sustained by solid, interdisciplinary, feminist scholarship and cutting edge research, this Handbook takes its readers on an exciting journey through vast landscapes of feminist theorizing, covering an impressive number of issues from epistemologies and methodologies to key questions in feminist cultural studies, social sciences, economics and politics. A must for students and scholars who want an overview.

-- Professor Nina Lykke
...this important addition to ongoing conversations in gender studies and feminist activism is methodologically and politically diverse. ...the collection is also rigorous and focused.  Indeed, one of the volume’s major contributions is the implicit and explicit insistence of nearly all of its contributors that even as readers become acquainted with what is now a well-established, if multifaceted, field—"feminist theory"—these same readers remain aware of the contradictions and tensions inherent in feminism as theory and feminism as lived experience. ...as an overview of feminist theory and public engagement, the book is a necessary read. Summing Up: Essential. All levels/libraries. -- R. A. Miller * CHOICE *
