Three feminist authors from three different countries contribute both individual papers and shared dialogues on transforming gender relations. Their commentary highlights the need for egalitarian dialogue that will open feminism to the plurality of all women's voices especially those in the margins. Avoiding postmodern stances, their essays form an attempt to restore the meaning of the feminist struggle. The volume is based on a 2001 conference on women and social transformation in Barcelona, Spain, and including contributions from Judith Butler (U. of California, Berkeley), Lídia Puigvert (U. of Barcelona), and Elizabeth Beck-Gernsheim (Erlangen U.).
