Feminist Political Theory

By Valerie Bryson

Book Overview

Feminist theory is a challenging and often deeply divided body of thought that raises issues which affect us all. In this, her third edition of the highly successful Feminist Political Theory, Valerie Bryson provides both a wide-ranging history of Western feminist thought, from medieval times to the present day, and a lucid analysis of contemporary feminist politics and debates. Fully updated to cover the latest feminist scholarship throughout, this timely new edition provides an accessible and thought-provoking exploration of complex theories related to 'real-life' issues such as sexual violence, political representation, transgender rights, cyberfeminism and globalisation.

With unrivalled scope, depth and accessibility, this new edition of Valerie Bryson's Feminist Political Theory is set to be the go-to text on feminism for students and researchers - or indeed anyone interested in gender justice.

Feminist Political Theory: An Introduction, Second Edition

This is an excellent summary of feminist political theory (surprise!). It gives concise, accurate, up-to-date, and very readable accounts. Its main purpose is to present an overall view, which it does very well, and not to offer deep criticisms. But there are critical comments. Certainly recommended as an intro, well achieving its goal.
