Gender Struggles: Practical Approaches to Contemporary Feminism - Paperback

by Constance L. Mui (Editor), Kathryn Pyne Addelson (Contribution by), Sandra Lee Bartky (Contribution by)

The sixteen essays in Gender Struggles address a wide range of issues in gender struggles, from the more familiar ones that, for the last thirty years, have been the mainstay of feminist scholarship, such as motherhood, beauty, and sexual violence, to new topics inspired by post-industrialization and multiculturalism, such as the welfare state, cyberspace, hate speech, and queer politics, and finally to topics that traditionally have not been seen as appropriate subjects for philosophizing, such as adoption, care work, and the home.
