About this book

The most comprehensive introduction to feminist theory - in terms of its historical scope, international coverage and wide-ranging analysis of contemporary ideas - Feminist Political Theory offers lucid accounts of complex theories, and a balanced approach to contentious issues. Different strands of thought in Europe, Russia and America are traced, introducing earlier issues, personalities and ideas and linking these to contemporary debates. Based on a sound understanding of political theory, this will be a valuable introduction for students of gender issues and politics.
