β¦ Synopsis
Feminist Issues positions womenβs issues at the forefront of Canadian concerns. Authors explore the range and diversity of contemporary feminist perspectives as seen through the lens of race, class, sexuality, disability, and poverty. Each chapter addresses questions and social problems that have received little attention in Canadian writing.
Feminist Issues is a contributed text, which addresses feminist and women's issues in Canada. The editors, Nancy Mandell and Jennifer Johnson, have excellent and well-regarded reputations in the area of women's and gender studies. The contributors for the new edition have addressed developing issues in the study of feminist theory as it applies to gender, sexuality, race, and class.
