Noëlle McAfee's Reply to Commentators Posted

In the fall, the SGRP posted a symposium on Noëlle McAfee's essay, "Two Feminisms."  The commentators were Amy R. Allen, Nancy Bauer, Scott L. Pratt and Linda M. G. Zerilli.  Noëlle has written a reply to her commentators and it is now posted and available.  You can find it by going to the SGRP website and following the link on top to "Symposia" and scrolling down to Fall 2007.  (Our apologies to Noëlle for taking so long to edit and post her reply!)

**Please note: The links to the Pratt and Zerilli essays were broken, but have been fixed. 3/21/08
