<p>'<i>Rethinking Feminism </i>offers an unusually candid and crisp account of the challenges that scholars face when they attempt to take "gender," "race," <i>and "</i>sexuality" seriously as equivalent categories of analysis. </p><p>Collating first-person accounts of academic politics with examples of divergent ways of doing feminism, this collection argues cogently that a robust feminism must theorize its methods and forcefully make points of disagreement visible.</p><p>Loomba and Sanchez insist that feminism must be vigilantly self-critical about its methods and practices. One of the book’s main contributions lies, in fact, in making scholarship productively uncomfortable.'</p><p><strong>Wendy Wall</strong>, Northwestern University, USA</p><p>'This vibrant collection models the commitment to debate and contestation that has been the signature of feminist work on the early modern period since the 1980s. Methodologically self-aware, full of new discoveries, and daring both in its expanded deployment and its critique of intersectional analysis, <i>Rethinking Feminism in Early Modern Studies </i>shows why feminism remains a crucial lens through which to explore both the past and the present.' </p><p><strong>Jean E. Howard,</strong> Columbia University, USA</p><p>‘Rethinking Feminism in Early Modern Studies is a stellar collection of essays that will reshape the future of feminist work on this period. This book is a must read for everyone who works on this period and for anyone invested in the feminist agenda.’ </p><p><strong>Dympna C. Callaghan</strong>, Syracuse University, USA</p>
