Instruct: Classify Amazon reviews into positive or negative sentiment
Query: Not a helpful addition

I don't write amazon reviews, but given the 5 star rating of the single review, I think a counter-opinion is called for; readers will decide, of course. I taught a recent course on feminism and politics using Lorber as my main theoretical text, but found that its definitions of the different kinds of feminism were analytically muddled. Rather than clarifying differences between Marxist, liberal, postmodern and other feminisms, the descriptions blurred the distinctions and failed to emphasize the ways in which liberal feminism has been challenged on different and sometimes competing grounds by the alternatives. The result may reflect reality--feminism has become an eclectic mix of ideas--but the lack of clarity about how each type emerged and why makes the book less than helpful as a basis on which to build a course. I have great respect for Judith Lorber, but was very frustrated by this book.
