Reviews

'This landmark collection shows the important role of feminist scholarship in rethinking post-nationalist identity in Europe--a problematic from which U.S. feminists have much to learn. In this way and others these essays expand the horizons of the common feminist heritage of international feminisms. The introductory essay alone is worth the purchase of the volume for its brilliant analysis of the strengths and limitations of different focuses and styles of thinking in the U.S., northern, and southern Europe. This is a fine teaching text.' - Sandra Harding, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, UCLA 'Thinking Differently' represents a crucial step towards a truly transnational perspective in European Women's Studies. As a prominent result of several years of Community-funded European Women's Studies networking, this highly ambitious book aims at displacing the Anglo-American outlook that often has been confounded with transnationalism in favour of sophisticated analyses grounded in feminist scholarship based on in-depth knowledge of national and regional differences as well as on balanced insight in pan-European processes of change. This approach allows the authors, a multinational group of distinguished feminist scholars from Southern, Eastern, Northern and Western parts of Europe, to identify important new agendas for European Women's Studies. They articulate a range of highly important questions - from shifting meanings of the single woman and the specific European histories of racism to the semantics of sex/gender in different European languages. This advanced textbook is a must for researchers, teachers, students, politicians and others, interested in European Women's Studies and gender issues in Europe.' - Nina Lykke, Prof. Dr. Phil., Department of Gender Studies, Linkoeping University, Sweden
