Harnessing the energy of provocative theories generated by recentunderstandings of the human body, the natural world, and the material world, Material Feminisms presents an entirely new way for feminists to conceive of thequestion of materiality.

By insisting on the importance ofmateriality, this volume breaks new ground in philosophy, feminist theory, culturalstudies, science studies, and other fields where the body and naturecollide.
