See moreA sweeping examination of the core issues of sexual politics by one of feminismβs most important and critical voices
In this updated text of sexual politics, bell hooks argues that the contemporary feminist movement must establish a new direction for the future. A leading cultural critic, she contends that feminism has not succeeded in creating a mass movement against sexism because the foundation of the women's movement has not fully accounted for the complexity and diversity of female experience.
In order to fulfil its revolutionary potential, feminist theory must begin by consciously transforming its own definition to encompass the lives and ideas of women on the margin. This new edition includes an original preface by the author that brings it up to date.
Feminist Theory by bell hooks challenges the movement to broaden its scope and impact by integrating diverse female perspectives.
