| This edited volume focuses on a central plank of feminist politics, i.e. the struggle for equality. It attempts to find answers to the following questions: In what ways have feminist pursuits brought about more equality in women's lives? Or has the struggle for equality produced more law and invited greater regulation into women's lives rather than transformation? Are there other ways in which to engage equality and the state? It points out that as feminism has gone mainstream, feminist discontent seems to have succumbed to respectability and the reward of inclusion. Feminism as a grand theory is probably over. However, feminism as an intellectual project needs critical reorientation. In ten chapters, the volume covers a wide range of issues from around the world: feminist engagement with law; feminism's engagement with sexuality and queer politics; the idea of freedom and equality in the neoliberal frame; postcolonial feminism, etc. Contents: Introduction: Discontenting Feminism * SECTION I: A FEMINIST PROJECT: THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF FEMINIST POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT * 1.
