How do power and resistance work in the everyday lives of women? The editors and contributors to this volume examine the tension as women actively construct their own lives but within conditions of structural constraints imposed by others. Feminists continue to debate the best way to understand power and resistance. On one hand, socialist feminists present a picture of female subordination and male domination. These theorists view women as passive victims of oppression and minimize women's attempt to negotiate at the margins of power. One strength of this position is that it provides women with the foundation they need to organize against oppression. The other school of thought is postmodern feminism. These theorists argue that since power is everywhere, there may be multiple sights for resistance. The problem is that this approach does not always lead to effective or collective feminist politics. The essays in the Fisher/Davis collection bridge these theoretical gaps. Each paper pays close attention to both structural constraints and the ways women at least attempt to resist.
