Feminisms - Robyn R. Warhol

In the landmark 1991 edition of Feminisms, Robyn Warhol and Diane Price
Herndl assembled the most comprehensive collection of American and
British feminist literary criticism ever to be published. In this
revised edition, the editors have updated the volume, in keeping with
the expanded parameters of feminist literary discourse. With the
inclusion of more than two dozen new essays, along with a major
reorganization of the sections in which they appear, Warhol and Price
Herndl have again established the measure for representing the latest
developments in the field of feminist literary theory. Believing that
the feminist movement can only move forward ""where difference commands
attention, not dismissal or negativism,"" they have continued the
original collection's mission of providing a multiplicity of
perspectives and approaches. This anthology contains three new
sections (""Conflict,"" ""Gaze,"" and ""Practice"") and includes more
selections by and about women of color and lesbians. Aimed at academics
and the general public alike, this collection is an indispensable guide
to the range of practice on campus today in the field of feminist
literary criticism.
