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.
