The selections combine classics in feminist thought with work from modern theorists and offer a solid foundation in international feminism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeminisms and Womanisms is an ideal text for teaching undergraduate courses. Its key strengths are that it includes the foremothers of feminism, has a nice mix of Canadian and international discourse, and covers the central issues underlying the history of feminism - it is thus a good foundation text. It strikes a great balance between the 'must-read' feminist foremothers and Third Wave feminists, while being inclusive of a diverse set of feminist voices, and, importantly, the voice of First Nations feminists. This reader offers students a balanced approach to the study of the history of feminist discourse, theory, and action.\"\" - Dr. Andrea O'Reilly, Director of the Association for Research on Mothering (A.R.M.) and Associate Professor of Women's Studies, York University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSECTION ONE: FOUNDATIONS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeg Luxton, Feminism As a Class Act: Working-Class Feminism and the Women's Movement in Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharon Donna McIvor, Self-Government and Aboriginal Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL.
