Book Description
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.
Editorial Reviews
Review
...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
Review
The majority of the essays in this volume are available for the first time in English translation, which will make the most recent debates in French feminism available to the English speaking world.
