Bringing together influential voices and groundbreaking new essays, Feminist Theory: A Philosophical Anthology examines the key questions at the heart of feminist philosophy through a clear structure and accessible yet rigorous content. This carefully curated selection of classic and contemporary essays emphasizes the flourishing growth of feminist thought over time, ranging from foundational texts by Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler, and Kimberle Crenshaw, to new essays by contemporary scholars like Kate Manne, Talia Mae Bettcher, and Robin Dembroff.

This edition expands on the original with fresh scholarship and a broader range of perspectives on gender, identity, knowledge, production and justice. New essays address intersectionality, gender identity, the critique of ideal theory, feminist critiques of traditional ethics, the impact of social norms on autonomy and epistemic injustice, and much more. Including critiques of traditional philosophical frameworks and self-reflection of feminism itself, this essential collection highlights how feminist theory shapes and challenges our current understanding of society.

Designed for students and scholars in philosophy, gender studies, and social theory, Feminist Theory: A Philosophical Anthology is ideal for students taking courses in feminist philosophy and feminist theory, educators in social sciences and humanities, and activists and professionals seeking a nuanced understanding of feminist philosophy.
