Given that the input to be concentrated, Walters has chosen to focus on the development of feminism

Margaret Walters concentrated introduction to feminism is one of the Oxford University series "A Very Short Introduction" books. However, getting acquainted with the book, took me a feeling that quite a normal book in this series is not so. First of all, because, unlike other books in the series, the issue of Latvian and also supported by individuals, thus pointing to the topicality of their life and the desire to promote a debate on feminism Latvian public space. Quietly sink (English) feminist historical essay, distancing themselves not only from the daily rush, but also from the public and political life of the Latvian, prevented the realization that the book will be read in modern Latvian men and women will be judged on whether and how feminism applies to them as well . I realized that reading should be allowed as a dialogical
Margaret Walters, "Feminism: The first half of the 19th century. Reformists." process Baktina meaning, which is characterized by dialogue with the context, as well as other authors' works, especially in the works of the capabilities and limitations of feminism in Eastern Europe and Latvian.
Given that the input to be concentrated, Walters has chosen to focus on the development of feminism in one country, England (sic), even though the book will also find descriptions of some of the US feminists and a brief description of "feminism in the world." In other countries, judged Walters, women probably had a different experience and other feminist definitions (11 p.). However, the differences in women's experiences or indeed overlap with the geopolitical, ethnic the greatest store in the world and cultural boundaries? And whether one country or a group of women in uniform possible experience? As can be seen from Walters, English feminist historical review, it is not. Incorporation for defining frames, Walters equates English with Western feminism feminism and post-colonial countries contrast to women or the USA "black" women feminism. the greatest store in the world Walters does it with a view to highlight the major issues which transcend the borders of England, but it will reproduce the greatest store in the world in his usual "the West and the Rest" (West and other) the greatest store in the world discourse.
One by one department confirms that the intended audience for the book is not only an Englishwoman, but "Western women". This audorija is indicated by a word of "we" the greatest store in the world use by re-reading I understand that it is quite neiekļaujos uzrunātajā publications. For example, the author invites readers to reflect on the books of the Eastern Europe and other countries "itinerant worker" is not always legal employment the greatest store in the world in Western Europe and the British households shows how "we the greatest store in the world own are likely to engage in other oppression of women" (page 169 .). But maybe this call also applies to the Latvian women who used other Latvian women's services in order to cope with children and households? What are their working relationship with nannies, house cleaners and housewives? Do you pay taxes? Or nannies do not work 12-hour days, and whether the house maintenance vehicles are not treated as the maids?
Traditionally, the greatest store in the world historiographical - ie linear and chronological - historical interpretation allows Walters to trace the development of the British feminist women's public self-expression through the word of God in the 16th century to an autonomous consciousness, the presence of public and political activities for the 19th and 20th centuries. However, certain feminist progress review again and again points out that the development of feminism can not be viewed as a steady progressive the greatest store in the world direction. Feminist the greatest store in the world History consists of arguments and fights, not only between men and women, but also between different-minded the greatest store in the world sentient and women. Feminists have argued with one another about the role of women in society, many women's rights did not accept the term "feminism" the greatest store in the world and a few now and then contemptuously turned against lower-class women in revolutionary activity. For example, the famous feminist Mary Volstonkrāfta (Mary Wollstonecraft) spoke contemptuously of women revolucionārēm in 1789 tried to break in Versailles, describing it as follows: "the lowest street waste, women who have discarded the virtues of the same sex being able to take anything more than the vices of the other sex "(56 p.). As radical "writers the greatest store in the world amazon" Volstonkrāfta however, remained a respectable middle-class woman.
Differences in beliefs the greatest store in the world about women's identity and place in society, problems and forms of political struggle characterized feminist issues today, although Walters has devoted little attention, mainly focusing on the historical material. Today in France, Belgium and probably also elsewhere in Europe, we can observe how liberal or rap
