What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

This book is a brilliant and timely analysis of the complex issuesraised by the relation between women and philosophy. It offers acritical account of a wide range of contemporary philosophical andfeminist texts and it develops this account into an originalproject of critical feminist thought.
Braidotti examines contemporary French philosophy as practisedby men such as Foucault and Derrida, showing that they rely on anotion of 'the feminine' in order to undermine classical thought,which bears no direct relevance to the historical experience ofwomen.
Braidotti then looks at the attempts of contemporary feministthinkers in Europe and the United States to show the genderednature of discursive power games. She discusses the contributionsof Luce Irigaray and many other feminist theorists to theunderstanding of sexual difference and of its implications forphilosophy and politics. This book will be of interest to studentsand researchers in women's studies, feminist theory, social theory,cultural studies, philosophy and literature, and anyone interestedin contemporary feminism and the relation between feminist theory,post-structuralism and psychoanalysis.
