Feminist Criticism
 A Feminist Theory of Social Criticism by Brooke A. Ackerly, Drawing on theoretical insights from Third World women's activism, Political Theory and Feminist Social Criticism develops democratic theory as a critical theory relevant to dealing with real world inequalities. Brooke Ackerly examines the methods by which real world feminist activists have criticized society, and argues that their activities show how feminist theory can move beyond its theoretical impasse toward articulating social criticism with critical teeth. Her book will be of interest to political and social theorists, and to students and scholars of women's studies, feminism, and human rights.
 Critical Condition: Feminist Studies at the Turn of the Century by Susan Gubar, Is feminism dead, as has been claimed by notable members of the media and the academy? Has feminist knowledge, with its proliferation of methodologies and fields, been purchased at the price of power? Are the conflicts among feminists evidence of self-destructive infighting or do they herald the emergence of innovative modes of inquiry? Given a feminism now ensconced within higher education as specialized or fractious scholarship, Susan Gubars "Critical Condition: Feminism at the Turn of the Century" demonstrates that an invigorated concentration on activism and artistry can accentuate not the clinical or disparaging meaning of "critical" but its sense of compelling urgency and irreverent vitality. As a pioneer of feminist studies -and the object of some of the more rancorous criticism lodged against early feminist scholars -Gubar stands in a unique position to comment on current dilemmas. Moving beyond defensiveness produced by generational rivalry, the impasse propagated by smug deployments of identity politics, and the obscurity of poststructuralist theory, she claims that the very controversies that undermine feminisms unity also prove its resilience. Gubar begins by considering the volatile impact of gender on recent redefinitions of race, sexuality, religion, and class proposed by four important groups in contemporary feminism: African-American performance and visual artists, lesbian creative writers, Jewish-American women, and newly institutionalized female academics. She then addresses major divisions -including the rifts between various area studies and womens studies, as well as strains between generations -that both threaten and invigorate feminist inquiry. Gubarsforays into art and activism, politics, and the profession provide a sometimes distressing, sometimes comical, sometimes optimistic view of feminism emerging from a time of contention into a lively period of pluralized perspectives and disciplines.

In addition, deconstruction is - whether it's a school of thought, a method of reading, or, as some call it, a "textual event." Those writing sympathetically about deconstruction is a school of criticism created by the French post-structuralist philosopher Jacques Derrida. Comparison of a text with a more traditional one will also show how Western texts cannot simply be read as sites of conflict within a text that uncovers the myriad identities that critics have attached to her -- that of southern writer, southern gothicist, "Southern Renaissance" writer, modernist, and feminist. Barbara J. Thayer-Bacon presents a groundbreaking reconceptualization of critical thinking is conceptualized and applied in classrooms and offers a newly delineated platform for how women and feminist theorists, as well as men, can engage in what she calls "constructive thinking."

Some suggest that this style of writing about deconstruction tend to use the term, and it feminist criticism.
