Description
In Feminist Challenges, first published in 1987, new and established scholars demonstrate the application of feminism in a range of academic disciplines including history, philosophy, politics, and sociology. As Carole Pateman notes in her introduction, 'all the contributors raise some extremely far-reaching questions about the conventional assumptions and methods of contemporary social and political inquiry.'
