Thinking Differently: a Reader in European Women’s Studies
Description
Co-edited with Gabrielle Griffin. This edited volume explores a distinct European perspective in women's studies to challenge Anglo-American dominance in feminist theory. This book is the first to ask whether there is a specifically European dimension to certain major issues in Women's Studies. It strives to create a synergetic debate among different disciplines and cultural traditions in Europe, and, in doing so, fills some gaps in our knowledge about women and enriches debates hitherto dominated by Anglo-American influences. European Identity: Questions if a specific European dimension exists for key feminist issues. Cultural Transfer: Explores how feminist ideas move across different languages and cultures. Core Topics: Covers women and militarism, ethnic cleansing, welfare state changes, human rights, and single women.
