A classic resource on feminist theory, Feminist Thought offers a clear, comprehensive, and incisive introduction to the major traditions of feminist theory: from liberal feminism, radical feminism, and Marxist and socialist feminism to women of color feminisms, care-focused feminism, psychoanalytic feminism, existentialist feminism, postmodern and poststructural feminism, and ecofeminism.The fifth edition has been thoroughly revised, and now includes a new chapter on third wave feminism and queer theory. In addition, the discussion of women of color feminisms has been expanded into two chapters: women of color feminisms in the United States and women of color feminisms on the world stage.Learning tools like the end-of-chapter questions and the bibliography organized by topics within chapters make Feminist Thought an essential and handy resource for students and thinkers who want to understand the theoretical origins, current state of, and future trajectories of feminist thought and action.Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: The Diversity of Feminist ThinkingChapter 1: Liberal FeminismChapter 2: Radical FeminismChapter 3: Marxist and Socialist FeminismChapter 4: Women of Color Feminisms in the United StatesChapter 5: Women of Color Feminisms on the World Stage: Global, Postcolonial, and Transnational FeminismsChapter 6: Psychoanalytic FeminismChapter 7: Care-Focused FeminismChapter 8: EcofeminismChapter 9: Existentialist, Postculturalist, and Postmodern FeminismsChapter 10: Third Wave and Queer FeminismConclusionBibliography
