In reviewing some of the main variations of feminist theorizing since 1970, this book charts the ways in which feminist thought has re-configured the relationship between desire, power and academic discourse. It argues that feminist theorists have challenged the assumptions of social science, freely crossing disciplinary boundaries and giving shape to a new social criticism concerned not only with sexual difference, but also with the differences of race, class, ethnicity, nationality and sexuality. Clough's account of a quarter century of feminist thought focuses on several key texts, from Kate Millett's "Sexual Politics" (1970) to Judith Butler's "Gender Trouble" (1990), but it also considers the tradition of feminist theorizing across a wide range of academic disciplines.
