"Theorizing Gender is an overview of the important debates to take
place in gender since we began theorizing it. It is not only a
trustworthy introduction for students but in its impartial approach
and lucid prose it is also an exemplary contribution to these
debates." Dr Jay Prosser, School of English, University of
Leeds
"This is a valuable and refreshingly clear exploration of some of
the most discussed issues in feminist theory and philosophy, such
as theories of gender and male domination, identity politics,
subjectivity and agency, the relation between gender and sexuality,
and the equality/difference debate. Especially valuable is the
clear account of authors who discuss psychoanalytic theory, such as
Judith Butler, Lacan and Foucault. The authors make an important
contribution to gender studies with their new conceptualization of
the bodily imaginary, as a way to bridge the gap between gender
theory and sexual difference theory." Ann Ferguson, Professor of
Philosophy and Women's Studies, University of Massachusetts at
Amherst
