Theories of Women’s Studies

Theories of Women’s Studies is a foundational text that explores the intellectual, political, and social frameworks that have shaped the development of Women’s Studies as an academic discipline. The book brings together influential essays and writings from leading feminist scholars, highlighting the debates, challenges, and evolving perspectives in the field.

Covering themes such as gender roles, identity, sexuality, power, patriarchy, race, and class, this work interrogates how knowledge itself is constructed and how women’s experiences have been marginalized in traditional scholarship. By engaging with both Western and non-Western feminist thought, it emphasizes the global dimensions of Women’s Studies.

This volume not only introduces readers to the theoretical foundations of feminism but also encourages critical reflection on issues of equality, representation, and social justice. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and activists who wish to understand and contribute to the transformative potential of Women’s Studies.
