About the Book

Feminist Theory: A Critique of the Disciplines presents a thorough survey of the recent developments in feminist theory and analysis, capturing a transformative period in women’s scholarship. This collection comprises fourteen essays that critically engage with feminist practices, including complicating gender categories, raising consciousness, engaging contradictions, and transforming women's experiences.

The contributors argue against a singular feminist theory and instead advocate for a multiplicity of feminist practices. They posit that feminist theory should be viewed as a process — dynamic and interwoven with various ideas and perspectives, much like a conversation. Key themes explored in this volume include postmodernism and gender relations, black feminist ideologies, sexual violence and literary history, racism in feminist aesthetics, and the lesbian literary imagination.

The book critically examines various social issues through feminist lenses, offering a diverse and evolving perspective on theory and its application in understanding women’s social practices.
