Oriented around the understanding that feminist voices continue to make some of the most important critical interventions in progressive political debates around the world, the series celebrates the power of these voices and gathers together important work often unavailable elsewhere.  \nZed Essential Feminists sets itself against the common assertion that weare living in a post-feminist era in which the major battles of the latetwentieth-century women’s movement have ceased to be relevant. Each volume offers the reader a comprehensive selection of writings that will both introduce and provide a complete and essential reference to an essential feminist voice.  \nABOUT THE EDITOR  \nAdele Newson-Horst is a professor of English at Missouri State University.
