This controversial book is the first organized feminist reading of the works of Jean Baudrillard, one of the most central figures in contemporary cultural theory, and the basic reading of feminist theory, sociology and cultural theory. Drawing on the whole collection of Podrillard's writings, the author is engaged in a discussion with: * Lucie Ergari, Judith Butler and Rosie Braidoti on Identity, Power and Desire * Women's Concern with 'Difference' as a Liberal Book * Writings on Sexual Transformation and Gender Performance * Feminist concerns about women's incarnation.
Through this critical connection, Grace reveals some limitations to some contemporary feminist theorizing on gender, identity, patriarchal authority and authority, thus providing a way forward in contemporary feminist thought.
