Title: Contemporary French feminism
Description: "Contemporary French Feminism brings together a wide selection of different perspectives from some of the most exciting feminist writing in France today, including some of the most prominent writers in the field, such as Michele le Doeuff and Julia Kristeva. The majority of pieces in this selection have never before appeared in English translation, meaning that this volume makes many of the most recent debates in French feminism available to the English-speaking world for the first time. And as Lisa Walsh makes clear in the introduction, the essays presented here suggest the emergence of a whole new generation of French feminist thinkers - a 'third wave', whose approach to questions of equality and difference is quite distinct from that of earlier feminist thinkers in its attempt to move towards a new concept of the individual."--Jacket.
