Transformations

Feminist thought has made an indelible mark on the social and political life of the twentieth century. But in the wake of these and other wider social transformations can it be said that feminism's project is now obsolete? transformations argues for it's continued relevance.
Refusing to accept the notion that transformation of gender relations has simply taken place, or that feminism is inherently transformative, this book provides a thorough reassessment of feminism's place in contemporary life. With contributions from some of the most important current feminist thinkers, transformations traces both the shifts in thinking that have allowed feminism to arrive at its present point and the way that feminist agendas have progressed in line with wider social developments. The authors engage in current debates as diverse as globalisation, technoscience, embodiment and performativity, taking feminism in fresh directions, mapping new territory and suggesting alternative possibilities.
This book will be essential reading for students and scholars working in the area of gender studies.
