A good introduction. However, there's nothing on trans feminism intersectionality amp Kimberlé Crenshaw get only one boxed paragraph, and Dalit feminism gets just a page amp a half in the chapter on Postcolonial feminism amp ThirdWorld feminism Urmila Pawar only gets a mention among too many other Savarna names.
This volume attempts to locate feminism/s within historical and critical perspectives,
and provides a broad framework within which to locate the possible politics of feminism, It traces the trajectory of feminism, from a movement for the rights of women to the possibility of an 'organic revolution', and from the renegotiations of the 'woman question' by early feminists and suffragists to the critical interventions of ecofeminists and lesbian feminism.
