Description

This new dictionary provides clear and accessible definitions of a range of terms from within the fast-developing field of gender studies. It covers terms which have emerged out of gender studies, such as cyber feminism, double burden, and male gaze, and gender-focused definitions of more general terms, such as housework, intersectionality, and trolling, It also covers major historical figures including Hélène Cixous, bell hooks, Mary Wollstonecraft, as well as groups and movements from votes for women to Reclaim the Night. It is an invaluable reference resource for students taking gender studies courses, at undergraduate or postgraduate level, and for those applying a gender perspective within other subject areas.
