Collected here are fifty-one key thinkers and fifty-one authors, recognizing that women are fifty-one percent of the population. There are actually one hundred and two thinkers collected in these pages, as each author is a feminist thinker, too: scholars, writers, poets, and activists, well-established and emerging, old and young and in-between. These feminists speak the languages of art, politics, literature, education, classics, gender studies, film, queer theory, global affairs, political theory, science fiction, African American studies, sociology, American studies, geography, history, philosophy, poetry, and psychoanalysis. Speaking in all these diverse tongues, conversations made possible by feminist thinking are introduced and engaged. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey figures include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSimone de Beauvoir\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDoris Lessing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eToni Morrison\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCindy Sherman\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOctavia Butler\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMarina Warner\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElizabeth Cady Stanton\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChantal Akerman \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBetty Friedan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAudre Lorde\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMargaret Fuller\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSappho\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdrienne Rich\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach entry is supported by a list of the thinkerâs major works, along with further reading suggestions.
