| Summary |
This major introduction to feminist cultural studies provides an important new synthesis of the feminist critique of culture. It also brilliantly reflects the interdisciplinary approach of cultural studies. The book opens with an exploration of the development of feminist academic practice and an overview of the full range of feminist theory. It includes full coverage of the equality/difference debate and the postmodern challenge to that debate. An important synthesis of feminist thought and the study of culture, this book is essential reading for students and academics in women's studies and cultural studies - as well as anyone who needs a lively and accessible explanation of how feminism has taken culture and its academic study by storm |
