Feminist debates : issues of theory and political practice

Are women still oppressed? Is paid employment the key to liberation? Should pornography be banned? Do women have an absolute right to abortion? Can women in government really make a difference? This volume draws on a wide range of theoretical, empirical and comparative material to provide an account of feminist debates and the ways in which political disagreements stem from underlying theoretical assumptions.

Balanced in its assessment of different problems and perspectives, it offers an essential guide to contemporary feminist thinking and practice.
