Nancy Naples provides an overview of different theories of feminist methodology, linked to Naples' experiences of activist research. Each section of the book represents a theory, methodology, or practice that is essential for understanding feminist research.
Naples draws on different research topics, such as welfare, poverty, sexual identity, and sexual abuse, to illustrate some of the most salient dilemmas of feminist research: the debate over objectivity, the paradox of discourse, the dilemma of "standpoint," and the challenges of activist research. By linking important feminist theoretical debates with case studies, Naples illustrates the strategies she developed for resolving the challenges posed be postmodern, Third World, postcolonial, and queer studies.

Nancy A. Naples is Professor of Sociology and Women's Studies at the University of Connecticut. She has published several books, including Women's Activism andGlobalization, Teaching Feminist Activism, and GrassrootsWarriors, which was a finalist for the C. Wright Mills Award from the Society for the Study of Social Problems (all published by Routledge).
