The Woman in Question collects some of the most memorable and important essays and editorials from the widely acclaimed journal m/f, which staked out new directions for feminist theory and politics from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s. New introductory essays by Chantal Mouffe, Constance Penley, and Joan Copjec and a postscript by Rachel Bowlby written for this collection directly assess the relation of m/f to feminism's current concerns. Selected to represent the range of the journal's coverage, the essays reprinted here deal with Marxist arguments and feminism, sexual difference, femininity and legal decisions, and psychoanalysis and feminism.
