  • A much needed contemporary introduction to a fast-moving field
  • Opens up this subject to new readers through a clear and accessible approach
  • Focuses on personal and social issues rather than abstract theory
  • Richly intersectional, taking account of the interplay of feminism with issues of race and class

   
Katharine Jenkins offers an introduction to feminist philosophy, giving the reader an idea of what it is, why it is important, and how to think about it. She explores key topics such as gender oppression, beauty, objectification, and sexuality. Moreover, she considers questions about the relation between the personal and the political, what it is to be a woman, whether there is a distinctive kind of women's knowledge, and what feminist philosophy can bring to our understanding of such aspects of our world as justice, work, and the environment. This Very Short Introduction takes a richly intersectional approach, recognizing the combined impact of such factors as race and class as well as gender.
