An introduction to the key words of feminist critical theories and a guide to their origins. The glossary includes entries on black, post-colonial, Italian and French feminisms and draws on a wide range of fields, including semiotics, psychoanalysis, structuralism, post-structuralism and deconstruction. The entries on the key words of feminist discourse do not attempt to be definitive, but instead demonstrate the inherently provisional and open-ended nature of working concepts.
