Summary: Recent debates in contemporary feminist theory have been dominated by the relation between identity and politics. This book examines the implications of recent theorizing on difference, identity and subjectivity for theories of patriarchy and feminist politics. In a thoughtful engagement with these debates Moya Lloyd demonstrates how key ideas such as agency, power and domination take on a new shape as a consequence of a rethinking of the subject-politics relation and how the role of feminist political theory becomes centred upon critique.
