Contemporary French Feminism (Oxford Readings in Feminism)

Présentation de l'éditeur Have we entered a historical moment of 'post-feminism'? This volume presents a timely and convincing 'no'. These essays demonstrate that there is a new generation of French women who take up questions of equality and difference from a position distinct from either first or second wave feminism, a position that often attempts to move beyond the binary of equality and/or difference to a new form of the individual. Revue de presse ...offer[s] interested readers a wide spectrum of views and arguments that are likely to challenge them to review their own position regarding sexual difference, masculinity and feminism's future. ― Catherine Dahlstrom, European Journal of English Studies Biographie de l'auteur Kelly Oliver is Chair of the Philosophy Department at Stony Brook University.
