Think Like a Feminist by Carol Hay
An audacious and accessible guide to feminist philosophyits origins, its key ideas, and its latest directions.
"A caffeinated tour through the history of feminist thought…Hay addresses small but useful steps we can take to go beyond the realm of ideas and achieve real-world results" -- Doug Sparks, Merrimack Valley Magazine
"With a winning mix of scholarship and irreverence, the author lays out the philosophical underpinnings of feminism and how they have evolved…A lively compendium." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Hay succeeds in clarifying abstract—and often sobering—concepts with straightforward terminology and a dash of irreverent humor. This crisp, well-informed primer on feminist theory will resonate with young women and experienced activists alike." -- Publishers Weekly
"The best feminist work leaves you changed, unable to look at the world in the same way. Think Like a Feminist does this. Carol Hay provides historical perspective, political awareness, and philosophical insight to cut through confusions about feminism, giving us the tools of analysis and skills of engagement needed to build a more just world." -- Sally Haslanger, Ford Professor of Philosophy and Women’s and Gender Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"At once welcoming and inclusive, yet uncompromisingly political, Carol Hay recognizes the wide variety of feminist voices while speaking boldly in a voice of her own." -- Quill R. Kukla, professor of philosophy, Georgetown University
"Think Like a Feminist has opened my eyes in ways I had not known they were closed. It is a timely and deeply important book, and I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially for those who yearn for justice for all human beings, no matter their sex, gender, or race." -- Andre Dubus III
"A timely and accessible introduction to feminist thought in the twenty-first century. Highly recommended." -- Ásta, author of Categories We Live By: The Construction of Sex, Gender, Race, and Other Social Categories
"Carol Hay is a warm and witty guide through modern-day gender politics, welcoming novices and offering substance to those already with her in the trenches. This is the book to give the questioning young person or the cynical patriarch in your life, but also a good read for your feminist book club or radical action group." -- Alice MacLachlan, editor, Feminist Philosophy Quarterly
"With this book, beautifully written and often disarmingly hilarious, we see clearly the luminous future for feminism, and one of its brightest lights will be Carol Hay." -- Clancy Martin, professor of philosophy, University of Missouri–Kansas City
