4.0 out of 5 stars A great feminist reader, May 22 2000

By missmao - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Writing on the Body: Female Embodiment and Feminist Theory (Paperback)

This is a wonderful collection of essays for anyone looking for an introduction to feminist theory, or simply for new ways to perceive and analyze the body. The bitesize samples of Judith Butler, Catharine MacKinnon, Audre Lorde, and bell hooks challenge the reader to confront contemporary issues such as rape, gender, and representations of women of color in ways that are radically different from mainstream thought.
