This volume introduces readers to the broad scope of feminist theory over the past 35 years. Comprising 12 original chapters, written by authors with extensive experience of both the theory and practice of feminism, it treats feminism at once as a political project and as an intellectual discourse.

Using the concepts and practices of feminist literary criticism, this constantly challenging workbook not only makes the connection between womena s writing and womena s lives but breaks new ground in enabling students to apply critical concepts and to feel more at ease with the texts common to feminist literary theory.
