Contemporary Feminist Utopianism is a stimulating, original and accessible entry into the debate between feminism and postmodernism, which sets out to challenge some basic preconceptions about the role of political theory. Lucy Sargisson explores current debates within utopian studies, feminist theory and poststructuralist deconstruction, arguing for utopianism as a route out of the dilemma of contemporary feminism as well as a way of conceptualising its current situation. She rejects approaches to utopianism which insist upon utopia as a perfect blueprint for the future, identifying instead a new transgressive utopianism.
