Summary

Have we entered a historical moment of 'post-feminism'? This volume presents a timely and convincing 'no'. These essays demonstrate that there is a new generation of French women who take up questions of equality and difference from a position distinct from either first or second wavefeminism, a position that often attempts to move beyond the binary of equality and/or difference to a new form of the individual.
