An Introductory Reader

Feminist Studies: An Introductory Reader introduces readers to key feminist theories and texts through both well-known classic feminist texts and original contemporary research by Feminist Studies scholars. It is an ideal resource for students of Feminist Studies, as well as Gender studies, sociology, and other social science.

Feminist Studies: An Introductory Reader offers a unique approach to teaching and learning feminist thought.

Crafted with the movement and translation of ideas in mind, this book is broken into four sections: Feminist Epistemologies, Feminist Ontologies, Feminist Orientations, and Resistance. Each chapter includes two well-known classic texts that commonly appear in Feminist Studies classes as well as two new texts written by scholars who engage, critique, and extend those ideas in their work. In addition, the book is accompanied by a companion website, which includes discussion questions, assignment ideas, lesson plans, and other materials useful for classroom instruction.

Feminist Studies: An Introductory Reader is designed for those new to feminism as well as more seasoned feminist thinkers. It is an ideal resource for students in introductory and advanced feminist theory courses, as well as those interested in social scientific and humanistic inquiry more broadly.
