Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The Feminist Spectator is certainly a reader-friendly text. . The Feminist Spectator will make an engaging addition to any feminist classroom or scholarly bookshelf. Reminding us of feminist hope-both in theory and practice-this book is a call to action, as well as a touchstone, for twenty-first-century feminist teachers and learners." (Corey Hickner-Johnson, Feminist Teacher, Vol. 26 (2-3), 2016)Weitere Details
