An expansive and up-to-date collection of essays addressing key issues in feminist philosophy, offering new perspectives on gender, knowledge, resistance, and more
Feminist Theory: A Philosophical Anthology explores some of feminism's most pressing philosophical issues, bridging the gap between classic and contemporary feminist ideas in one comprehensive volume. Articles have been chosen to represent feminist interventions in core areas of philosophy as well as philosophical contributions to feminist theory more generally. Emphasizing the flourishing growth of feminist philosophy over time, this anthology investigates key issues and concepts such as gender-based oppression, knowledge production, autonomy, and the ethics of care, while showcasing diverse voices from the past and present. Each section opens with a clear introductory framework that makes complex topics accessible to readers at all levels.
Thoroughly updated in its second edition, Feminist Theory highlights the expansion in scope and diversity of authors, topics, and approaches to feminist philosophical theorizing since the publication of the first edition. It expands on foundational essays and introduces a variety of recent scholarship to highlight the ways in which feminist philosophy has become more inclusive, global, and intersectional. New coverage such as Kimberlé Crenshaw's seminal piece on intersectionality, Robin Dembroff's work on non-binary gender identities, and the latest discussions on disability, epistemic injustice, misogyny, and trans feminism provides readers with a uniquely broad range of cutting-edge perspectives.
Offering readers both foundational knowledge and current debates in feminist thought, Feminist Theory: A Philosophical Anthology:

Provides the tools to critically engage with philosophical arguments around gender, autonomy, justice, resistance, liberation, and many others
Contextualizes the diverse philosophical perspectives shaping contemporary feminist discourse
Revisits long-standing questions and draws attention to contemporary debates in feminist theory
Engages with pressing ethical topics such as the moral implications of misgendering and racial biases in knowledge production

Includes critiques of traditional philosophical frameworks and engages in self-reflection regarding the ways in which feminism itself has contributed to patterns of exclusion and marginalization
Features key works by foundational authors such as Judith Butler, Bell Hooks, and Simone de Beauvoir

Designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in feminist theory, gender studies, philosophy, and sociology, Feminist Theory: A Philosophical Anthology, Second Edition, remains an essential resource for students in philosophy, social science, and women's studies programs, as well as researchers, educators, and activists interested in cross-disciplinary engagement and theoretical advancement in areas of concern to feminists.
