Description
This book examines the rise and consolidation of feminist insights into contemporary social theory. The book begins by providing an historical backdrop that led to the emergence of women's experiences starting to be seen on an equal footing to those of men. The book explores the problems of sexism and gender bias that have prevented full access to equality from materialising drawing upon key thinkers of feminist social theory.
