Mapping Feminist Anthropology in the Twenty-First Century provides an historical and theoretical overview of feminist anthropology's origins, the transformation it has undergone, and the vital contributions it continues to make to cutting-edge scholarship. Chronicling the impact feminist anthropologists have made on a wide range of academic fields, from science and technology studies to queer theory, it also reveals the important role they have played in global campaigns against human rights abuses, domestic violence, and environmental degradation.
