Synopsis

Lorber (City U. of New York) gives an overview of organized feminism, its types, its approach to gender equality, and its theories and politics. She then offers a series of classic and new readings in gender reform feminism (liberal, Marxist, socialist, post-colonial), gender resistance (radical, lesbian, psychoanalytic, standpoint) and gender rebellion feminism (multicultural, multiracial, feminist studies of men, social construction, post-modern, third wave). She closes by asking if we need a new feminism, particularly in terms of research, and provides a glossary and list of Internet resources.

Review:

"After reading Lorber's Gender Inequality, I know I have a more complete understanding of the multiple feminist perspectives. I also have an intense desire to jump back into classic and contemporary feminist discourse. For these two reasons--increased knowledge and renewed excitement about feminist theory--I highly recommend Lorber's Gender Inequality to anyone interested in feminism."--Kaye E. Van Straten, University of Massachusetts-Amherst
