This enlarged and fully updated new edition of the best-selling Introduction to Women's Studies provides a wide-ranging and accessible overview of the main themes, issues and substantive areas in this popular and expanding field. Truly interdisciplinary in its approach, it introduces the student to key ideas and debates, offering an up-to-date summary of research and a critique of important arguments. Three new chapters have been added to extend further the book's broad scope and all the chapters have been revised to take account of the latest developments in the field.
