Description: Sex, Gender, And The Body : What Is A Woman?, Paperback by Moi, Toril, ISBN 0199276226, ISBN-13 9780199276226, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This affordable, compact edition, designed specially for use in university courses, consists of two of the most celebrated essays from Toril Mois highly-acclaimed What Is a Woman?
What is a woman? Does it make sense to think of a woman as the combination of sex and gender? Is "I am a woman" the same kind of declaration as "I am a man"? What does it mean to speak "as a woman"? In these essays Moi rethinks the contribution of Simone de Beauvoir to feminist theory, and shows
that The Second Sex, properly read, offers inspiring solutions to urgent contemporary problems. By suggesting that we think of the body as a situation, the first essay offers a serious challenge to dominant poststructuralist theories of sex and gender. The second essay investigates the place of the
personal in theory. What is the status of references to personal experiences, or to ones person (ones race, sex, sexuality, ethnicity, nationality) in theoretical debates? Both essays provide, in vivid and compelling detail, a third way for feminism, beyond the current stalemate between
essentialism and constructionism. This is a major and truly original contribution to feminist theory.
