The books reviewed in this section explore feminist politics in a global frame.
We aim not just to include writings in feminist international relations, but also
to feature multi-disciplinary scholarship pertaining to global gender relations.
The section is usually made up of a combination of several distinct elements:
Rethinking the Canon, Feminist Classics/Many Voices, review essays and book
reviews. ‘Rethinking the Canon’ gives space for an individual to reflect on

one text that they feel ought to be essential reading for feminists working
on global issues, but which is likely to be marginalized by existing disciplinary
boundaries: they are invited to bring the text to our attention and to explain
why it is essential reading. ‘Feminist Classics/Many Voices’, by contrast,
includes several short appraisals of a book already widely considered a
classic for feminists working on global issues. Reviewers draw on their distinct
disciplinary, geographical and personal locations to offer diverse readings of
the classic text. Review essays survey several texts on a single theme,
aiming either to explore a recent debate that has generated a range of new
publications or to survey the best of the literature covering a more established
area of research. The book reviews provide brief introductions to, and
evaluations of, as broad a range of new publications as space allows. Anyone
with suggestions for texts to be reviewed, or requests to contribute to the
section, is encouraged to contact the Reviews Editor, Suzanne Bergeron, at
