About this book series

"This series promises to invite feminist thinkers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to think theoretically about feminism's history and future - work that needs to be done. I look forward to incorporating titles from this series into my women's and gender studies teaching."
—Alison Piepmeier, Director, Women's and Gender Studies Program, The College of Charleston 

 

 

For the last thirty years, feminist theory has been presented as a series of ascending waves. This picture has had the effect of deemphasizing the diversity of past scholarship as well as constraining the way we understand and frame new work. The aim of this series is to attract original scholars who will offer unique interpretations of past scholarship and unearth neglected contributions to feminist theory. By breaking free from the constraints of the image of waves, this series will be able to provide a wider forum for dialogue and engage historical and interdisciplinary work to open up feminist theory to new audiences and markets. 

 

Proposals are encouraged from a range of disciplines including but not confined to women’s and gender studies, philosophy, English, religious studies, history, cultural studies, and ethnic studies. We welcome proposals for projects that re-examine feminism and its history in ways that question, complicate, or challenge the wave image.
