Description

Book Synopsis
Offering both a discussion of feminism in its postmodern context and a critique of contemporary theory, the author here challenges feminists to move away from a theory-based approach, which focuses on securing or contesting women as an analytic category of feminism, to one rooted in political action and judgment.

Trade Review
"This is an exciting and exhilarating book, clearly destined to have a lasting influence in feminist theory. Here, Zerilli makes a serious effort to go beyond the terrain of identity politics and its critics. The emphasis is put, on the contrary, on political judgment as the basis for forming political communities and on practices of freedom." - Ernesto Laclau, University of Essex"
