The last forty years have seen a remarkable and sustained exploration within the academy and other less institutional aspects of intellectual life of questions of issues about gender and gender relations. Departments of women's studies, feminist studies, gender studies exist throughout the global north with considerable overlap between their curriculum but all exploring, in different ways, the difference that feminist politics, a politics of the public space, have made. The four volumes are organized to reflect and emphasize the repetition of themes within feminism and the cross-over between locations (whether geographical or intellectual) where feminism is discussed.
