| - ''A lively introduction, refreshing in its accessibility and its philosophical engagement. Whether writing on pornography or on the wearing of veils, Saul's jargon-free discussion sets the standards for rigour and clarity. It shows the point of thinking philosophically about concrete political issues, and, better still, shows readers how to do it.'
Rae Langton, University of Edinburgh' - - ''Saul's accessible and engaging introduction to philosophical issues in feminism will challenge students of all political persuasions. Modelling good philosophical method all the way, Saul draws her readers into some of the most important and interesting controversies of contemporary gender studies. A highly useful text.'
Louise M. Antony, The Ohio State University' -

A stimulating and accessible introduction to feminist philosophy. The chapters are organised around key issues of practical significance, such as pornography, abortion and sexual harassment. Clear arguments are provided for a variety of feminist positions, drawing upon up-to-date empirical research. No background in feminism or philosophy is needed, and the clarity of the narrative ensures that
Feminism: Issues and Arguments

Readership: Ideal for introductory feminism classes suitable for open enrollment, feminism courses for philosophy students and feminist philosophy courses for women's studies/gender studies students.
Will also have appeal for people outside of academia who are interested in learning about feminist issues and the philosophical ideas behind these issues.
