| Summary: | "Chilla Bulbeck presents a bold challenge to the hegemony of white, western feminism in this incisive and wide-ranging exploration of the lived experiences of 'women of colour'."

She then turns the focus back on Anglo culture to illustrate how the theories and politics of western feminism are viewed by non-western women."--Jacket. |
