Feminist Issues: Race, Class and Sexuality

Description

Feminist Issues positions women’s issues at the forefront of Canadian concerns. Authors explore the range and diversity of contemporary feminist perspectives as seen through the lens of race, class, sexuality, disability, and poverty. Each chapter addresses questions and social problems that have received little attention in Canadian writing. Feminist Issues is a contributed text, which addresses feminist and women's issues in Canada.
