This book examines the important aspects of Feminist Theories—Liberal, Marxist, Socialist, Radical, Cultural, Gyno-centric, Psychoanalytic, and Post-modern. It discusses at length the dialogue among these different types of feminisms as well as the critique of some feminist theories by other theories.

It addresses important issues like the contested notion of women’s rights, labour, sexuality, love, hetro-normativity, race and class. It also covers a wide range of debates within feminist circles about issues of pornography, the welfare system and the role of the state in lives of women.
