Can it change that voice for new ends, or is it robbed of purpose by the inevitably partiarchal nature of traditional discourse? \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe essays in this book address this question in a complex set of exploratory dialogues between men and women. They open with interchanges on the philosophical foundations of feminist criticisms and questions about the mechanisms of representation. A second group of essays focus on the gendered body in the act of writing and on individual identity and experience in critical theory. Does theory elide questions of gender, race and class? Or does it help illuminate those differences by historicizing and politicizing the body? The further dialogues initiated here probe the network of relations between author, reader, critic and society in discussing the feminization of genres and the problematic of race.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRather than striving for pluralistic consensus as they interrogate the relations of feminism and theory, the many voices presented here employ a dialogic model to create a productive and enlivening debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements vii \u003cp\u003eNotes on Contributors viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLinda Kauffman \u003c\/i\u003e1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART I REPRESENTING PHILOSOPHY 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Revolution in Bounds: Wollstonecraft, Women, and Reason \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTimothy J.
