What does Feminism mean in today's society and how does the term Postfeminism affect our understanding of the gender roles? Now in its second edition, thoroughly revised, updated and expanded with new material, The Routledge Companion to Feminism and Postfeminism combines a series of in-depth back-ground chapters with A-Z entries to provide an authoritative yet readable guide to this fascinating area.

Taking an historical narrative view point the book charts the people, terms and theories that are connected alongside new articles on:

  • sport
  • globalization
  • reproductive technologies
  • sexuality.

Well received articles on everything from the developing world, religion and the body appear alongside literature, language and philosophy. Students interested in any aspect of feminism will find this an indispensable resource.
