By examining concepts of womanhood and feminism within the context of "race" and ethnicity,Reconstructing Womanhood, [this volume] challenges contemporary feminists theory, highlighting the ways in which constructions of womanhood have traditionally excluded black women's experience and proposes a reconsideration of terms such as "feminist". Most of the contributors are women living in Britain whose research subjects and methods are shaped by the specifics of the Black British experience and context.
