Gender, crime, and criminal justice Book

This book achieved its intention of giving an overview of the major feminist theories. After reading this book, I have a much better knowledge of the feminisms discussed, including their specific contributions and politics as well as their similarities and differences with other feminisms. I also appreciated the inclusion of secondary source/article excerpts in each chapter. My class did find fault with Lorber's critiques of many of these feminisms as well as her handling of certain subjects, such as transgender individuals. Still, I enjoyed reading this book, and I found it to be much more engaging than the typical textbook (though perhaps the subject matter lends me a bias).
