"The authors of this compilation offer a phenomenological analysis that engages not only with previous works on feminist phenomenology, but also with works that have been challenged before by the feminist tradition, and with works that belong to other frameworks and disciplines. Anyone working on feminist theory, in general, will be greatly benefitted by exploring these works, and discussing their contributions. "—Phenomenological Reviews"This is a particularly rich moment for the recognition and development of feminist phenomenology given contemporary philosophical engagements with questions regarding the particularities of lived bodies and experiences. These essays provide a promising and important contribution."—Mariana Ortega, author of In-Between:  Latina Feminist Phenomenology, Multiplicity and the Self
