Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center
Description.
When Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center was first published in 1984, it was welcomed and praised by feminist thinkers who wanted a new vision. Even so, individual readers frequently found the theory "unsettling" or "provocative." Today, the blueprint for feminist movement presented in the book remains as provocative and relevant as ever. Written in hooks's characteristic direct style, Feminist Theory embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement.

Lack of adequate definition made it easy for bourgeois women, whether liberal or radical in pers pective, to maintain their dominance over the leadership of the movement and its direction.
