Cressida Heyes looks at the heart of the feminist debates on the questions of how women are defined, how these definitions arise, and what role these definitions play in feminist issues of race, class, heterosexual privilege, gender oppression, and sexual violence. By focusing on lessons learned from Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, Heyes constructs an inclusive space for cross-disciplinary conversations about feminist theory, practice, and issues.
(Choice) Heye's adept application and extension of Wittgenstein's insights to feminism; her lively, enjoyable and accessible writing style, and her philosophical sophistication, should place her at the center of the family of important new feminist theorists.
(Canadian Review of Comparative Literature) Heyes gives a good and clear summary of many of the issues that have generated debates about essentialism within feminism. She shows how many of the participants in those debates were prone to forget the political issues affecting the lives of real people.
