The Feminist Standpoint Theory Reader - Intellectual and Political Controversies (Paperback)

In the mid 1970s and 80s, several feminist theorists began to develop alternatives to the prevailing theories and methods that had dominated academia. This collection brings together the most important scholars who have written in this area, collecting their influential essays on what later became known as "standpoint theory" and the later interrogations and developments of these approaches from a wide variety of disciplines and intellectual and political positions.
