This is the first book which examines the nature and significance of a feminist critique in anthropology. It offers a clear introduction to, and balanced assessment of, the theoretical and practical issues raised by the development of a feminist anthropology. Henrietta Moore situates the development of a feminist approach in anthropology within the context of the discipline, examining the ways in which women have been studied in anthropology - as well as the ways in which the study of gender has influenced the development of the discipline anthropology. She considers the application of feminist work to key areas of anthropological research, and addresses the question of what social anthropology has to contribute to contemporary feminism. Throughout the book Henrietta Moore's analysis is informed by her own extensive fieldwork in Africa and by her concern to develop anthropological theory and method by means of feminist critique. This book will be of particular value to students in anthropology, women's studies and the social sciences.

Feminism and anthropology
An arrogant African king believes he is the cleverest person in the world. In order to fuel his ego, he challenges his subjects to an impossible task. If they are able to weave him a robe of smoke, they will be smarter than the King.
The nimble rabbit fails, as does the sly and cunning fox, the powerful and fierce leopard, and the mighty elephant. So, when the tortoise accepts the challenge, everyone laughs. But the tortoise does not need to be nimble or sly or fierce or mighty, he only needs to be clever. And clever he is. Tololwa M. Mollel creates a suspenseful and humorous story with a lesson about pride.
Kathy Blankley's illustrations below with the warmth of an African sun. The attempts by the various animals to weave a robe out of smoke are vivid and engaging. Each page is trimmed with a bright African design. I love the closing picture of the happy tortoise.
Parents will enjoy reading this book to their child. It would be interesting to stop and ask the child how they would try to create a robe out of smoke for the King. For children reading themselves, I would put the level at grade 3. Well recommended.
