Feminism, Social Theory and Social Change
This book examines the debates around modernity and postmodernity from the viewpoint of feminist theory. The author assesses classical social theory, theories of the Enlightenment and the more recent modernity/postmodernity debates arguing that at each stage, social theory has failed to give enough attention to questions of gender.
In this book Barbara Marshall argues that the debates around both modernity and postmodernity neglect the role of women and significance of gender in the formation of contemporary societies.
