From the Introduction: “Carol Bacchi’s scholarship is both substantial and wide-ranging. Beginning her academic career as a historian in the fields of English-Canadian women’s suffrage, Bacchi has made innovative and insightful contributions to the fields of feminist theory, critical policy studies, and post-structuralist theory. One of the characteristic traits of her scholarship is her interest in revising and revisiting analytic problems from a range of perspectives”.
