Feminist Political Theory by Valerie Bryson
This volume provides both a wide-ranging history of Western feminist thought and a lucid analysis of contemporary debates. It offers an accessible and thought-provoking account of complex theories, which it relates to "real life" issues such as sexual violence, political representation and the family. This edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate developments in feminism and feminist scholarship throughout, in particular taking into account the impact of black and post-modern feminist thought on feminist political theory.
Reviews of the first edition 'Bryson's attempt to present a comprehensive picture of arguments, topics and writers is admirably carried out, and the sheer breadth of her scope is impressiveOverall, this is a very valuable contribution to the field.' - Diemut Bubeck, Political Studies '...an admirably clear and comprehensive introduction which, though aimed primarily at undergraduates, will also be of value to A-level students and teachers. A comprehensive yet concise analysis which is lucid and measured in tone. It provides a timely reminder of the richness and variety of feminist debate since the 1960s, and reflects the current post-modernist tendency to celebrate the diversity of feminist thinking, rather than to try and elevate one approach above all the others.' - Jill Longmate, Talking Politics Review 'Bryson undoubtedly succeeds in providing an accessible and engaging introduction to key debates in feminist political theory, which will be particularly welcomed by undergraduate students who wish to learn about the origins and hallmarks of feminist thought.' - Andrea Baumeister, University of Stirling, UK
