Footnotes

Publication of The Oxford Handbook of Feminist Theory signifies that feminist theory is now acknowledged as an established and flourishing field of scholarly accomplishment. Totaling 1,088 pages, this impressive work consists of 50 essays, each written specifically for this purpose, on topics ranging from “Affect” to “Violence.” Because this form does not lend itself to a conventional book review, in organizing this symposium, we invited five authors to address the broader intellectual as well as the political import of this volume's appearance at this moment in feminism's history. Their analyses are followed by a response prepared by the Handbook's editors, Lisa Disch and Mary Hawkesworth.
