I recommend "Issues in Feminism:  A First Course in Women's Studies" by
Sheila Ruth.  Houghton-Mifflin, 1980, ISBN 0-395-28691-3.  Yes, it's
due for updating (if the author hasn't brought out a new edition yet)
but it has the right scope that you're looking for.  Very accessible,
clearly written basic text.
