Stirring It : Challenges for Feminism Hardback
Edited by Gabriele (University of York, UK) Griffin, Marianne Hester, Shirin Rai, Sasha Roseneil
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Hardback
Description
First published in 1994 Stirring It debates the challenges which confront feminism and Women's Studies in the 1990s.
In the face of current worldwide political and social upheavals, Stirring It poses questions about women, their bodies, their identities, and positions which need to be addressed by contemporary feminists.
The chapters therefore challenge the orthodoxies and theories which are exploded by contemporary feminist practice.
They raise new issues for feminist debate. The volume is divided into four sections: ‘Feminist Politics in Action’ investigates the inter-relationship between politics and action with reference to issues such as the women's movement in Britain and women's position in and in relation to Ireland; ‘Disrupting Sexual Identities’ provides critiques of heterosexuality, monogamy, and conceptualization of the female body; ‘Imaging and Imagining’ explores the politics of women's cultural production and ‘Women's Studies and Feminist Practice’ analyzes the often fraught connections between theory and practice.
This is a must read for scholars and researchers of Women's Studies, Sociology, and Gender Studies.
