Abstract

Review of some of the main variations of feminist theorizing since 1970. It charts the ways in which feminist though has reconfigured the relationship between desire, power, and academic discourse. It shows how feminist theorists have challenged the assumptions of social science, freely crossing disciplinary boundaries and giving shape to a new social criticism concerned not only with sexual difference, but also with the differences of race, class, ethnicity, nationality, and sexuality.
