Feminist Studies: An Introductory Reader introduces readers to key feminist theories and texts through a unique approach that combines both well-known classic feminist texts and original contemporary research by Feminist Studies scholars.

This textbook has been crafted with the movement and translation of ideas in mind, and is broken into four sections: Feminist Epistemologies, Feminist Ontologies, Feminist Approaches to Unlikely Objects, and Feminist Publics and World-Making. Each chapter includes two foundational texts that commonly appear in Feminist Studies classes as well as two new texts written by scholars who engage, critique, and extend those ideas in their work. In addition, the text includes discussion questions and additional materials useful for instruction. The title is also accompanied by a companion website geared toward students, where they can engage with student-created projects and other media.

Feminist Studies: An Introductory Reader is an ideal resource for students in introductory Feminist Studies courses, as well as those studying Women and Gender studies, sociology, and other social science.
