Feminist Frameworks: Alternative Theoretical Accounts of the Relations Between Women and Men by Alison Jaggar

Feminist Frameworks: Alternative Theoretical Accounts of the Relations Between Women and Men by Alison Jaggar

Written by leading scholars in feminist theory, Feminist Frameworks was one of the first anthologies in its field and, in the third edition, remains on the cutting edge. Comprehensive, the book covers current issues, problems, theory, and historical texts regarding the oppression of women. With the third edition comes a new section, "Why Theory?" in Part II, explaining the value of feminist theory. Also, the emerging areas of multicultural feminism and global feminism are covered in Part IV. Introductions to each major theme expose students to the readings in a meaningful context.
