"This anthology introduces students to the history of key ideas related to gender, race, class, and sexuality. It looks at women in diverse locations around the world and encourages students to think about gender in a transnational rather than a purely United States context. The selections provide students in the United States with a way to understand points of view from other locations and cultures, especially crucial in the post-9/11 geopolitical situation. The readings are truly interdisciplinary, drawing upon scholarly work from many fields, as well as on nonscholarly sources. Short essays introduce each of the book's sections, explaining the concepts behind the readings."--Jacket
