      First published in 1998, this collection brings together key articles by prominent feminist thinkers, providing a sophisticated exploration of theoretical topics central to feminist social thought. It highlights significant concerns in contemporary feminist scholarship and the advancements made by feminist philosophers. The editor's introduction offers alternative pathways through the text, enabling instructors to tailor the reader to their specific courses and student interests. Each article includes a brief introduction that contextualizes it, emphasizing the main issues and conclusions, which aids students in navigating challenging theoretical concepts. Organized around seven topics—constructions of gender; theorizing diversity; figurations of women; subjectivity, agency, and feminist critique; social identity, solidarity, and political engagement; care and its critics; and women, equality, and justice—this collection represents a broad spectrum of feminist thinking. Students will engage with critical questions, including how gender norms are instilled and perpetuated, the relationships between gender and other social positions like race and class, the resources available for recognizing and resisting subordination, the goals of feminist politics, and the reconciliation of social and legal equality with difference.

      The lesbians who have contributed to this book are theorists and activists who write as members of diverse lesbian cultures. Each lesbian has her ways of knowing, her voices, approaches, methodologies, languages. Each lesbian reflects, directly and indirectly, her relations to her own and to other ethnicities, races, social classes, physical abilities, ages, and nationalities. Each lesbian has distinctive perspectives on lesbian existence, friendships and sexualities, separatism and coalition building, theories of knowledge and ethics, language and writing. Lesbian Philosophies and Cultures is a hybrid site for discussion of, work on, and delight in this sometimes uneasy, sometimes painful, sometimes surprising and wonderful, lesbian pluralism. For this collection, some of the contributors have chosen to write in essay style, and some have chosen to write in fiction, autobiography, poetic prose and experimental forms. The contributors, all of whom live currently in the u.s.a. or quebec, are: Joyce Trebilcot, Vivienne Louise, Kitty Tsui, Ann Ferguson, Julia Penelope, Marthe Rosenfeld, Claudia Card, Anna Lee, Maria Lugones, Edwina Franchild, Caryatis Cardea, Baba Copper, Bette S. Tallen, Michele Causse, Sarah Lucia Hoagland, Nett Hart, Marilyn Frye, Kim Hall, Jacquelyn N. Zita, Monique Wittig, Nicole Brossard, Gloria E. Anzaldua, Jeffner Allen.
