The last forty years have seen a remarkable and sustained exploration of questions surrounding about gender and gender relations. Departments of women's studies, feminist studies, gender studies exist throughout the global north with considerable overlap between their curriculum but all exploring, in different ways, the difference that feminist politics, a politics of the public space, have made.
At its heart, this major work examines the central idea that feminism, as a politics of the public space, is an essential aspect of democratic society. The four volumes are organised to reflect and emphasise the repetition of themes within feminism and the cross-over between locations (whether geographical or intellectual) where feminism is discussed.
Volume One: The Imagination Feminism
Volume Two: Making Feminism
Volume Three: Locations of Feminism
Volume Four: Feminist Futures
