The Power of Feminist Theory

In The Power of Feminist Theory, Amy Allen diagnoses the inadequacies of previous feminist conceptions of power and draws on the work of a diverse group of theorists of power, including Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Hannah Arendt, in order to construct a new feminist conception of power. Allen illuminates the interrelatedness of domination, resistance, and solidarity, enabling the reader to understand and theorize on these three modalities of power.
