She discusses the particular concern of French theorists with seduction, their rejection of the term "gender" and the centrality of the difference debate.; In the first part of the book, Allwood separately examines feminist theories of gender and sexual difference and the problem of male violence. She goes on to consider the developments which are taking place on the borderline between the two, examining the way in which these developments have contributed to an understanding of masculinity. Readdressing problems and debates that will be familiar to English-speaking readers, the text exposes cultural differences and similarities in the ways in which these problems are approached and it provides a detailed account of the changes in both feminist action and theory in France in recent years.; This analysis of feminism in France should be of interest to student and scholars in French studies, European studies, gender studies and cultural studies. 410 0$aGender, change & society. 606 $aFeminist theory$zFrance 606 $aFeminism$zFrance 606 $aSex role 606 $aWomen$xCrimes against 606 $aViolence 615 0$aFeminist theory 615 0$aFeminism 615 0$aSex role. 615 0$aWomen$xCrimes against. 615 0$aViolence. 676 $a305.42/01 700 $aAllwood$b Gill$0887986 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910170998103321 996 $aFrench feminisms$94203898 997 $aUNINA
