Edited by Hesse-Biber (Boston College) and Leavy (Stonehill College), this work seeks to provide grounding in the principle epistemological, theoretical, and methodological approaches in feminist sociological research. Reviewing theoretical and epistemological issues, they include chapters on feminist empiricism, feminist standpoint theory, and feminist postmodernism and poststructuralism. This discussion is followed by a review of feminist research methods, including in-depth interviewing, oral history and focus group interviews, ethnography, content analysis, survey research, and mixed-methods research. The concluding chapter addresses the analysis and interpretation of research findings. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
