Although feminist phenomenology is traditionally rooted in philosophy, the issues with which it engages sit at the margins of philosophy and a number of other disciplines within the humanities and social sciences. This interdisciplinarity is emphasised in the present collection. Rethinking Feminist Phenomenology focuses on emerging trends in feminist phenomenology from a range of both established and new scholars. It covers foundational feminist issues in phenomenology, feminist phenomenological methods, and applied phenomenological work in politics, ethics, and on the body. The book is divided into three parts, starting with new methodological approaches to feminist phenomenology and moving on to address popular discourses in feminist phenomenology that explore ethical and political, embodied, and performative perspectives.

Shabot (Univ. of Haifa, Israel) and Landry (Wilfrid Laurier Univ.) have put together an excellent collection of essays by eminent feminist phenomenologists. The book investigates whether the situation of women has actually changed since the 1949 publication of Simone DeBeauvoir’s The Second Sex. The contributors address ways in which change has not been significant enough and offer challenges to the current sociopolitical environment. Composed of three parts that move from the theoretical to the practical, the book provides a glimpse into creative ways to respond to feminist issues. Part 1 focuses on theoretical foundations of feminist phenomenology, part 2 explores ethical and political reverberations, and part 3 addresses practical applications of phenomenology, primarily with respect to embodied being. The work of Husserl, Judith Butler, Beauvoir, and Merleau-Ponty, among others, is brought to bear on issues as far ranging as incarceration, breastfeeding, the fat body, intersectionality, and disability. As with most edited volumes, the quality of the essays varies, but in general they are excellent. The range of topics gives the reader a sense of the breadth of contemporary feminist phenomenology, and for that reason the book is important.Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
