Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

Description

Politics of Reality includes essays that examine sexism, the exploitation of women, the gay rights movement and other topics from a feminist perspective. “This is radical feminist theory at its best: clear, careful and critical.”— SIGNS “For anyone first coming to feminism, these essays serve as a backdrop . . . for understanding the basic, early and continuing perspectives of feminists. And for all of us they provide a theoretical framework in which to read the present as well as the past.”— Women’s Review of Books “The style is both scholarly and direct without being ponderous. Frye makes a concerted effort to stimulate discussion, as opposed to arguing unopposed, so that much of the work is novel and candid. . . . An important addition to a complete feminist library.”— Choice Review: Life changing. - Marilyn Frye is an incredible writer and philosopher and this book is absolutely indispensable to any woman who wants to learn about radical feminism. Review: brilliant book, still very relevant - absolutely amazing book as an introduction to feminism and especially to feminist philosophy.
