Aims to bring clarity to the essentialism/anti-essentialism debate at the center of feminist theory and feminist cultural studies. This book deals with origins and contexts of the debate; relationships between essentialism, anti-essentialism, and the power of language; and the reasons for the demonization of essentialism within the academy.
