Encyclopedia of Feminist Literary Theory (Garland Reference Library of the Humanities) Review

My first comment is a response to Mr. Noel Anderson. As a Women's Studies graduate student, I first must take issue with his assertion that graduate students, among others, are not qualified to contribute to a volume of this sort. With 6 years of training in feminist theory, I would personally consider myself competent to write a concise summary of an important author or term in this field; I'm sure my peers feel the same. Second, I think it's telling that Mr. Anderson is so upset that Simone de Beauvoir's relationship with Sartre is not a large part of the entry on this writer. Certainly, the indebtedness to existential thought is acknowledged in the entry, and since the encyclopedia is focused on contributions to feminist theory, I see no reason why de Beauvoir's personal relationships should receive the attention instead of her intellectual grounding. I also find it hard to imagine anyone being disturbed by an entry on Sartre for say, "An Encyclopedia of Philosophical Thought" that failed to mention de Beauvoir.Personally, I have found this reference volume invaluable for checking the history of sometimes ambiguous terms, not to mention useful as a bibliographic source.
