Feminist Frontiers is intended for use in courses on women’s studies, gender studies, feminist studies, or the sociology of gender. It offers a general framework for analyzing women, society, and culture; its classic and contemporary readings on cutting-edge topics cut across disciplinary and generational lines, presenting the full diversity of women’s lives and exploring commonalities and interconnected differences. New selections in the tenth edition emphasize the diversity of women’s experiences and the intersections of gender with race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, nationality, and ability.
