Feminist Theory established bell hooks as one of international
feminism's most challenging and influential voices. This edition
includes a preface by the author, reflecting on the book's impact and
the development of her ideas since it was first published. In this
beautifully written and carefully argued work, hooks maintains that
mainstream feminism's reliance on white, middle-class, and professional
spokeswomen obscures the involvement, leadership, and centrality of
women of colour and poor women in the movement for women's liberation.
Hooks argues that feminism's goal of seeking credibility and acceptance
on already existing ground - rather than demanding the lasting and more
fundamental transformation of society - has short-changed the movement.
A sweeping examination of the core issues of sexual politics,
Feminist Theory argues that contemporary feminists must acknowledge the
full complexity and diversity of women's experience to create a mass
movement to end women's oppression.
