"Feminist skepticism of a canon is healthy. To Gay, a feminist canon is subjective and always evolving, and represents a long history of feminist scholarship. Ten years after her New York Times bestselling essay collection Bad Feminist, Roxane Gay edits The Portable Feminist Reader for Penguin Classics, an anthology of texts that are diverse in feminist thought, strikingly relevant, and dynamic. Sixty-five selections include ancient, historic, and more recent feminist voices. Traditional scholarship sits with personal essays and poetry. With insightful headnotes, Gay provides context for writings on multicultural perspectives, ecofeminism, feminism and disability, feminist labor, gender perspectives, Black feminism, and more. With this anthology, Gay invites readers to examine the state of feminism, what feminism looks like in practice, and its successes and failures. Gay invites readers to join in conversation with the long and growing line of historical and contemporary feminist thought, and to talk of canon, which always remains complex and contradictory, as expansive rather than definitive"-- Provided by publisher.
