This first major study of feminist theory, revised and updated here into its fourth edition, now takes the reader into the twenty-first century.

With the renewed interest in feminism, which has been called “the “fourth wave” of feminism—the “first wave” being the nineteenth-century movement, the “second wave” the developments between 1960-80, and the “third wave” the emergence in the 1990s of ecofeminism, global feminism, the intertwining of the women's rights and animal rights movements, and so-called postmodern feminism—people are re-engaging with the basic question, “What is feminism? What does it mean?” Donovan’s book provides a clear answer to the question, outlining the various strands of feminist theory: liberal, cultural, Marxist-socialist, Freudian, and radical.  

This Fourth Edition brings the discussion up-to-date, integrating the developments in feminist theory that have emerged in the last two decades and particularly since the publication of the Third Edition (2000).
