In a time of growing demand for methodological renewal that promotes justice and equality, this edited collection focuses on emergent writing methodologies in feminist studies. It explores some of the central politics, ideas, and power dimensions that condition and shape knowledge, elaborates with critical, embodied, reflective and situated writing practices and discusses the relationship between author, text and audiences. The book is excellent literature for postgraduates, researchers and academics in feminist and intersectionality studies, and helpful as guidance for writing sessions and workshops.

Mona Livholts is Professor of Social Work in the Department of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki, Finland.
