A classic in feminist theory, The Social Reconstruction of the Feminine Character is a stimulating and thought-provoking book that brings to light the ways in which views of women are shaped by concrete conditions. It compares feminism to other contemporary social movements that are raising questions about advanced industrial society. In this new edition, Farganis includes chapters on feminist legal theory and queer theory, and updates the chapters on science, reason and morality.
