This book is important if you have an interest in feminist ideologies and philosophies. Jaggar does an excellent job of reviewing the histories and main points of various brands of feminism while intelligently philosophizing their purposes as well as their positive and negative traits.Not recommended for those who prefer more of a fun read of history.

Such a helpful overview of the history of feminism. Jaggar helpfully targets strengths and weaknesses of different types of feminist theory.

I read it for my philosophy class. I liked the concept but it was a little hard.

An excellent analysis of for currents in feminist thought - the Bourgeois / Liberal, the traditional ,Marxist,' the 'Radical' / separatist, and the Socialist-Feminist

feminism actually makes sense now

Alison M. Jaggar - Alison M. Jaggar is a College Professor of Distinction in the Philosophy and Women and Gender Studies departments at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is also a Research Coordinator at the Centre for the Study of Mind in Nature, University of Oslo, Norway. Jaggar was one of the first people to introduce feminist concerns in to philosophy. She is a founding member of the Society for Women in Philosophy, was instrumental in the creation of the field of feminist studies, and taught what she believes to have been the first feminist philosophy course ever offered.Jaggar's work has been hugely influential, with Rosemarie Tong and Nancy Williams suggesting in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy that "If ethics is about human beings' liberation, then Alison Jaggar's summary of the fourfold function of feminist ethics cannot be improved upon in any significant way" and Jaggar's texts being considered classics.Jaggar received a bachelor's in philosophy at Bedford College, University of London in 1964. She received a master's in philosophy from the University of Edinburgh in 1967, and her doctorate in philosophy from the State University of New York, Buffalo in 1970. During her career, Jaggar has held appointments at SUNY Buffalo, Miami University of Ohio, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Illinois at Chicago, the University of California, Los Angeles, Rutgers University, Victoria University of Wellington, and the University of Oslo.Jaggar has authored a large number of widely cited papers, most notably Love and knowledge: Emotion in feminist epistemology, published in 1989 and cited by at least 800 other peer-reviewed papers as of August, 2013. Jaggar has also acted as co-editor for the first issue of Telos, and was an associate editor of Hypatia from 2006-2008.(from Wikipedia)
