Engendering Modernity - Feminism, Social Theory, and Social Change (Hardcover)

Barbara L. Marshall challenges feminist critiques of modernism, arguing that the Enlightenment tradition, flawed as it is, can be reshaped without severing all ties to its principles of emancipation. Feminist theory, Marshall argues, along with post-colonial and anti-racist discourse, has the potential to revitalize and enrich critical social theory of modernity.
