Feminist Perspectives on Politics: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Feminist Perspectives on Politics" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Feminist Perspectives on Politics considers how feminist perspectives have considerably broadened the scope of what is considered political. Themes and issues covered range from nineteenth century debates around womens equality and liberation, to twentieth century arguments and activities towards gaining a more nuanced understanding of womens differences and diversity. Difference remains a key term in contemporary feminisms, and the author examines debates engendered from womens liberation politics to open up discussion of Black feminisms, lesbian politics and disabled feminist agendas. Formal political participation and the impact of womens movement politics are assessed in global comparisons as are the debates surrounding discourses on development and transnational politics, and the influence of women at local, national and international levels.The book will be essential reading for students at all levels across the fields of Politics, Womens Studies, Sociology, History, Cultural Studies, Political Economy and Development Studies more generally (such as in studies concerned with anti-racism, gender, social policy and the history of ideas within educational institutions, local government and voluntary organisations)

Series Editors Preface
The aim of the Feminist Perspectives series is to provide a concise introduction to different topics from a feminist perspective. The topics were chosen as being of interest for students on a range of different degree courses and in a range of different disciplines. They reflect the current interest in feminist issues and in womens studies in a wide range of fields. The series aims to provide a guide through the burgeoning and sometimes rather arcane literatures which have grown around various feminist topics. The texts are written by experienced teachers and academics providing lively and interesting accounts of topics of current interest. They include examples and case studies or statistical information where relevant in order to make the material more accessible and stimulating.
The texts contain chapter outlines and summaries for convenient, quick access. There are also suggestions for further reading.
We are especially pleased to have a text on Politics in the Feminist Perspectives series. Politics has been an area of special concern for feminists indeed feminism is itself political. As Chris Corrins text makes explicit, feminists have been concerned to demonstrate that the subordination of women by men is a political act. Furthermore they have demonstrated that not only has womens mainstream political activity been ignored in male-stream analysis but that much political activity by women has been seen as a concern with ethical or personal issues rather than political ones. Women have been portrayed as less concerned with politics than men and less able to be political. The outcome is that issues that are of concern to women are defined as not political and women are then said to be less interested in politics, less knowledgeable about politics and less adept at politics than men, and that issues which are of concern to women are seen as unimportant or trivial, or as moral rather than political.
Claire Wallace and Pamela Abbott
At the outset I decided I would write this book for my students, especially those taking Ordinary Politics, the first year course at Glasgow University. At the conclusion I realise I have written this book for myself, to better understand the connections. I wish to make in studying and teaching politics from a feminist perspective. I am very grateful for the insights given from students over the years particularly those who have undertaken my courses on Feminist Thought and Political Theory and our Womens Studies courses.
In trying to achieve a wholeness within this book I realise that my understanding of politics, as actively trying to change injustice, centrally involves my feelings and thinking about politics. If there had been more space within this short book I would have been pleased to include some of the wonderful political poetry that feminists have written to support, sustain and sister women. As Audre Lorde pointed out over 20 years ago:
For women, then, poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action. As they become known to and accepted by us, our feelings and the honest exploration of them become sanctuaries and spawning grounds for the most radical and daring of ideas. They become a safe-house for that difference so necessary to change and the conceptualization of any meaningful action.
(Lorde 1996: 96)
As is often the case, Audre manages to capture my thoughts, in the potential for change, which is the cornerstone of our actions. Several friends and colleagues helped with this project in their willingness to read draft chapters, generally at short notice. I thank Chris Berry, Cordelia Ditton, Anita Franklin, Eleanor Gordon, Barbara Littlewood, Neeraj Malhotra, Julie Matthews and Susan Stewart. My thanks also go to Jeanette Berrie for her help in getting the typescript into a readable order. I would be very pleased to hear from anyone who wants to write any comments on this book.
