<p> This richly stimulating book will be widely welcomed. It demonstrates inkaleidoscopic detail how feminist thought has come of age. Joan W. Scott'squestioning stance over the last quarter of a century provides the thread runningthough the varied essays that engage with political and ethical as well as moretraditionally scholarly issues. For anyone grappling with the concepts of gender andsexual difference this volume gives convincing evidence that they are formed inrelation to other modes of social organisation and therefore can only be posed ashistorical questions. -- Lenore Davidoff, University of Essex
