Feminism, Theory and the Politics of Difference Reviews

"This is a book I would recommend to anyone wanting to understand recent developments in feminist theory. It offers excellent lucid accounts of theoretical debates, locates these effectively within a political context and offers a constructively critical, rather then hostile or celebratory, engagement with a politics of difference." New Formations

"This is an extremely useful book for Women's Studies and Gender courses at whatever level". MLR
