Reviews for Feminist Anthropology: A Reader
“Feminist Anthropology says it all: from the early debates on universal oppression of women, to the continued rethinking of resistance and political creativity, this wonderful collection highlights the important work that feminist anthropologists have done, and beckons others to continue this important work.” Rayna Rapp, New York University “Ellen Lewin contributes outstanding commentaries and analyses that introduce and connect some of the most valuable and timeless work in feminist anthropology. This book is an extraordinary resource for teaching in anthropology and across the disciplines.” A. Lynn Bolles, University of Maryland, and past President of the Association for Feminist Anthropology “This well-selected anthology is a treasure trove, guiding readers through more than three decades of feminist anthropology—from the pioneers to the next generation of cutting-edge scholars in the field.” Florence E. Babb, University of Florida “A unique and useful compilation… Highly recommended” Choice
