A review essay on a book by Rosemary Hennessy, Materialist Feminism and the Politics of Disease (New York: Routledge, 1993 [see listing in IRPS No. 84]). It is offered that Hennessy clarifies three matters concerning postmodernism & feminist theory. (1) The critique of Michael Foucault, Ernesto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, & other postmodernists aids the unlearned reader of these philosophers in differentiating their profeminist from their conservative theories. (2) The shortcomings of socialist-feminist practice are exposed, exemplified by the feminist attachment to race, class, & gender, but a predominant focus on gender. In response, it is argued that these shortcomings are more a matter of the infancy of socialist-feminist research rather than as Hennessy proposes, its elaboration on other postmodern concepts such as language & subjectivity. (3) The incomprehensibility of the leftist intellectual writing style is criticized as elitist & a hindrance to a positive discourse. It is concluded that many of the questions remaining from Hennessey's book are answered in Donna Landry & Gerald MacLean's Materialist Feminisms (1993). 14 References. M. Greenberg

Contemporary Western European Feminism is a ground-breaking history of feminism. Gisela Kaplan invites a critical analysis of current ideas, terms and assumptions about our modern world.Written confidently and with compassion, this is the story of a long revolution that has set out to change predominant attitudes and transform value hierarchies and human lifestyles. By outlining the postwar histories of individual countries Kaplan contextualises women's movements and documents a significant chapter of European social history. She poses questions about the interrelationship between the new move

This paper explores the changing feminine subject of feminism by investigating women's sexual daydreams. Described by Rosi Braidotti following Luce Irigaray as the 'virtual feminine', and by Teresa de Lauretis as the 'space-off, the feminist subject is a mutating configuration embodying that which is not colonised from phallogocentric representations. Following Frigga Haug's work on daydreams, the paper is informed by a study that draws on responses from nineteen women in a university setting to an anonymous online survey that asked them to write a daydream about how they would like to express their sexualities in an ideal world. The data reveal that these women of the new millennium imagine spaces of gender/sexual equity, characterised by a spirit of sexual adventure and ethical and emotionally intimate sex. I argue that these sexual imaginings are more progressive than earlier ones, filling in some of the details omitted from contemporary hegemonic representations of feminine sexuality. Arguably providing a snapshot of the feminist subject in its ongoing historical metamorphosis, the paper considers the meaning of these transformations.

The term 'feminism' has been' derived from the Latin term Femina' that means 'woman' and 'ism is a stream of thoughts. Thereby the movement that raises the issue of woman's equality and rights and champions liberty, equality and rights for woman in all walks of life: literary, social political familial and economic, is called feminism. This term was discussed by Alice Rossi, an American writer, in Athenaum on 27 April 1895. Ever since it has been widely used. It is raised by west female writer in literature that women have the same talent as to write as men. The male writers showed male characters dominant and female submissive in their writings. Feminists believe that the work that is written by a man can also be written by a woman with the same capacity and skill. The male patriarchy limits the creative power of a woman assigning her domestic duties within walls.

On the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, feminists are at a critical juncture to re-envision and re-engage in a politics of human rights. Interdisciplinary feminist conversations among scholar-activists can both challenge and enrich new directions in feminism and human rights. The scholarly and activist writings that comprise this collection advance both research and critical conversations about feminism and human rights by revealing the transformative potential of a feminist human rights praxis that embraces both critique and collective justice. The editors' method has been to move beyond a wholesale dismissal of human rights so that the book may begin new dialogues that envision transnational, gender and antiracist social justice approaches. This book features work that engages academic critiques of human rights frameworks yet goes further by exploring the potential of human rights activism 'from below'. These groundbreaking chapters and conversations provide evidence of the persistent challenges and the attendant possibilities inherent in feminist human rights activism and theorizing – they offer this book, underscoring the creative displays of grassroots resistance by women globally and affirming transnational feminist solidarity. ; https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/1140/thumbnail.jpg
