	AFKHAMI & FRIEDL Eds),	IN THE EYE OF THE STORM	I B Taurus	£3.95
	Mahnaz, Afkhami & Erica, Forward by Robin Morgan.	Women in Post-revolutionary Iran. In the early days of the Islamic Republic of Iran, government agents and theologians rewrote all laws and codes relating to women's behaviour. Attepmts were made to drive women out of the job market, and the veil and other restrictive tenets were enforced in the office and in all public places. Yet, in spite of these attempts to socialize them into fundamentalist norms, women have in quite unexpected ways reasserted their role in both the economy and the arts. 'In the eye of the storm' is the first detailed account of women in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Transcending the stereotypes and misinformation that often permeate discussions of women and Islam, the book is based on well-documented research and explores the contradictory circumstances of women's lives. It attempts to provide a framework within which their situation can be analysed and understood. The contributions cover topics such as education, the labour market, temporary marriage, the commoditization of female sexuality, the representation of women in literature and film, parliamentary debates on women's issues and the strategies used by women to maintain a modicum of control over their own affairs in a society defined and dominated by men. What emerges is a picture of highly dynamic women who discover and invent ever more subtle and creative ways of self-expression as they contend with a modern theocratic regime which claims absolute authority to determine correct behaviour in all aspects of life.

	Maxine Ed),	Women of the South. 40 pieces from Southern women's lives over the last half-century. White and black, debutantes and sharecroppers, poets and steelworkers, mothers and daughters - their voices are by turns celebratory and incendiary, bawdy and poignant. Through interviews and first-person accounts, reportage, fiction, and poetry, women talk about growing up and growing pains, about work and family, the traditional roles assigned to them and the new ones they have created in a quickly changing Southern landscape. 'Speaking for Ourselves' is a manifesto of the vitality that charges the Southern world - and speaks to the experiences of contemporary women in every part of America.

	Roxane & Olive,	An Anthology: Triumphs and Tribulations of the single woman. Since earliest recorded history the unmarried woman has, apart from courtship for marriage, met with exploitation, frustration, ridicule, contempt and pity and, when her achievements have surmounted these social denigration's, with astonished admiration. Her story through the ages is told in these pages by extracts from the works of illustrious philosophers, writers and by contemporary comments. How men have regarded her is voiced by such authors as Shakespeare, Goldsmith, Charles Dickens, Bernard Shaw and T S Eliot. How single women themselves thought and felt comes from the words of such famous writers as St Teresa, Elizabeth 1, Hannah More, Charlotte Bronte, Christina Rossetti and Katharine Whitehorn. This selection, rich in contrast, literary excellence and wit, presents a piece of social history of remarkable authenticity.	Fair / Good 1974 Hardback         ISBN: 85043-015-1

	Veronica & Elizabeth,	Analysis of Women's situation in Britain. In recent years the impact of feminist approaches has revolutionised almost all aspects of the study of women's role in society, challenging previous assumptions about the nature of gender roles. This book draws on a wealth of current materials to provide an introduction to and an analysis of women's situation in British society. In a series of coordinated essays, the authors examine four key issues - the family, employment, education and health - challenging exisiting stereotypes of women's role, discussing contemporary research and providing alternative explanations.

	BRONSTEIN.	THE TRIPLE STRUGGLE	Women on Women	£3.50
	Audrey,	Latin American Peasant Women. The voices of Latin American peasant women are rarely heard. The triple struggle they face to free themselves from the dependence of underdevelopment, the poverty of the peasant and finally the oppression of being a woman in a male dominated society is told in their own words. It is a daily fight for independence. The triple struggle must be won, for there will be no real liberation if a new equality for peasant women were only to mean living with their men, equal in poverty and equal in suffering.

	BROOKS.	NINE PARTS OF DESIRE.	Hamish Hamilton	£2.50
	Geraldine,	The hidden world of Islamic women. As a prize-winning correspondent for the 'Wall Street Journal' Geraldine Brooks has spent six years covering the Middle East through wars, insurrections, and resurgent fundamentalism. Yet, for her, headline events have been only the backdrop to a less obvious but more enduring drama: the daily life of Muslim women. Perplexed when her vivacious Egyptian translator suddenly adopted Islam's veil and renounced her scholarship to Harvard, Brooks made it her mission to comprehend a culture which remains mysterious to most Westerners. 'Nine parts of desire' is the story of Brooks's journey towards understanding the often contradictory political, religious, and cultural forces that shape women's lives. In Iran, Brooks has tea with the Ayatollah's widow - and discovers that Mrs Khomeini dyes her hair. In Saudi Arabia, she eludes the segregation of the sexes and attends an orgiastic Bacchanal. In villages and capitals throughout the Middle East, she finds that a feminism of sorts has flowered under the chador as she makes other startling discoveries that defy our stereotypes about the Muslim world.

	BRYDON & CHANT.	WOMEN IN THE THIRD WORLD	Elgar	£4.50
	Lynne & Sylvia,	Gender Issues in Rural and Urban Areas. "Women in the Third World is a useful introductory teaching resource which provides a competent overview of the literature and current debates. It is compatative in scope and includes case study material and some discussion of planning issues. It is clearly written in an accessible style and will enjoy a substantial readership". Maxine Molyneux, Lecturer in Sociology, University of Essex. The book provides an up-to-date general account and review of research on the roles and status of women in contemporary Third World societies. The book focuses on four major themes of underdevelopment which have particular relevance for gender roles and relations: the household, production, reproduction and policy. These issues are illustrated with material from rural and urban areas in all parts of the Third World. The book summarises significant ideas and findings on each theme and draws out the main differences among regions. Lynne Brydon & Sylvia Chant have avoided a narrow focus on particular regions and countries to provide a synoptic overview. In addition, therefore, to being a valuable source of reference for scholars interested in gender and development in the Third World, the book also attempts to pinpoint fundamental aspects of gender inequality which apply to women everywhere. The over-riding conclusion of the book is that women's experiences of development are generally negative and that intervention is urgently required to prevent their position relative to men's deteriorating still further.

	COCK.	MAIDS AND MADAMS	Women's Press	£3.00
	Jacklyn,	Domestic Workers under Apartheid. At the very heart of apartheid lies a unique relationship, all the more powerful because it belongs in the home. It is the relationahip between white employer and black servant - who not only cooks and cleans but also brings up white babies, while her own are left in the township for twelve or twenty-four hours a day. In a series of revealing interviews Jacklyn Cock exposes the truth about the triple oppression of South African domestic workers: of colour, class and sex. the book was so explosive when it was first published that the author; a lecturer in sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, received a stream of abusive phone calls and a dynamite attack on her home.

At a time when international public attentin is again focusing on the question of population, in part as a result of the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, it is important that the voice of women from the South be heard - which is the purpose of this book. Bringing a critical feminist perspective to bear on conventional debates around population, Sonia Correa examines the interlinking of economic processes, demographic dynamics and women's lives. She analyses the detrimental effects on women of past and present fertility management policies. Turning to issues of sexual and reproductive health and women's rights, she argues for the invisibility of health and rights. She identifies the challenges which women in the South need to tackle and suggests appropriate strategies for political action by the international women's movement around these issues.

	CURTIN.	WOMEN IN CHINA.	Pathfinder	£3.00
	Katie,	At a time when there is growing realisation that the struggle for women's rights is a worldwide phenomenon, women in the capitalist countries are beginning to investigate the new role of Chinese women. Katie Curtin a young Canadian feminist and socialist, describes the transformation that has taken place in the status of women in the quarter-century since the victory of the Chinese Revolution. She traces the development of the early feminist movement in China, shows how the Communist Party's whole-hearted support of women's emancipation at the time of it's founding in the early 1920s changed to vacillation when the CP became Stalinised, and outlines the role women played in the civil war and the transformation of Chinese society. Everyone interested in the Chinese Revolution and in the emancipation of women will find much that is thought-provoking and stimulating in Curtin's study.	Fair / Good 1976       ISBN: 0-87348-404-5

	DAVIES.	LIFE AS WE HAVE KNOWN IT.	Virago	£3.50
	Margaret Llewelyn Ed), Introductory letter by Virginia Woolf.	By Co-Operative Working Women. 'Life as we have known it', first published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press in 1931, is a classic, first-hand record of the lives, experiences and aspirations of working women, whose recollections go back to the 1850's and extend through the early decades of this century. The women tell of their childhoods - of growing up in poverty and want; or work - begun in most cases when still children; of domestic service, work in factories and fields; of family life - of husbands often old and ill before their time, of childbirth, marriage, death. The remarkable women who wrote this book were members of the Women's Co-operative Guild, founded in 1883 and a powerful agent in the education of working women. The experiences and aspirations recounted here are, as Virginia Woolf says, a witness to the 'extraordinary vitality of the human spirit'.	Fair / Good 1977         ISBN: 0-86068-000-2
	DAVIS.	WOMEN RACE & CLASS	Women's Press	£3.50
	Angela,	In this classic work Angela Davis brings her passion and scholarship to confront three major crucial issues of feminism. Women, Race and Class examines the lives and achievements of black women under slavery and of black and white women workers under industrialism, to show that both sexism and racism are deeply rooted in class oppression, and that neither can be eradicated without destroying the dominant patriarchal economic system. The author analyses the differences and similarities of the experiences of black and white women in our culture, to cast new light on issues including the development of the abolitionist/suffragist movement; birth control; and rape.

	DEIGHTON, HORSLEY, STEWART & CAIN.	SWEET RAMPARTS	Women on Women	£1.95
	Jane, Rossana, Sarah & Cathy,	Women in Revolutionary Nicaragua. On 19 July 1979, an insurrection led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front overthrew Anastasio Somoza. For Nicaraguans, the end of the dictatorship brought a new developing political power. Sweet Ramparts is a window onto the changing lives of Nicaraguan women since the revolution. Drawing on personal interviews, this book recounts their problems, achievments, and aspirations. The framework is the government and women's association's strategies for women. It examines their efforts to integrate women into the once very male worlds of the military, production and politics, and measures this strategy against advances in the family, church, and reproductive rights. All those developments are taking place in a world of constraints. There is the legacy of poverty and war. And there is, more omnimously, a mounting military threat as the opposition retrenches and the US seeks to bring Nicaragua back into its fold. Sweet Ramparts sets the position of women within this context.	Fair 1983         ISBN: 0 905990 20
	DU PLESSIX GRAY.	SOVIET WOMEN: Walking the Tightrope.	Virago	£3.50
	Francine,	Voices of Women in Russia. In 1917 the USSR was the first society in history officially to emancipate its women. But seven decades later, the heroic tolerance of Soviet women, over 90 per cent of whom are employed full-time, has been showing signs of wear. From her wide experience and travels in Russia, Francine du Plessix Gray brings us the voices of women doctors, professors, intellectuals, dissidents, party workers, journalists and factory workers who talk about their lives with amazing candour and frequent anger. Despite 'perestroika' women continue to suffer a startling variety of social injusticies, and there are startling statistics showing the lack of Soviet provision for sex education, family planning and women's health facilities. Beautifully written, with fascinating insights, Soviet Women is a provocative document on a universal dilemma of twentieth-century life - the paradoxes of women's equality.

	ECK & JAIN, Eds,	SPEAKING OF FAITH	Women's Press	£3.50
	Diana & Devaki,	Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Women, Religion & Social Change. What is the relation of religion to the kinds of struggles in which women are engaged around the world? How does a woman's religion, ethics or cultural tradition affect or define the issues she addresses? Until recently there has been a tendency for feminist debate to be dictated by 'western' ideas of what the issues are. These papers, presented to an interreligious women's conference at Harvard in 1983, resulted from an attempt to allow women from all over the world to define the issues themselves. The resulting topics are surprising and fascinating; moral fearlessness; witchcraft, conformity, success, militarism, water, apartheid, are just some of them. With contributions from anthropologists, sociologists, theologians, economists and religious leaders, this is essential reading for anyone who shares the hopes for social and spiritual regeneration through the women's movement worldwide.

	Sara & Patricia Eds),	Feminist Studies in German Literature and Culture. The eleventh volume of 'Women in German Yearbook' opens with Jutta Bruckner's reflections on her development as a filmmaker. Her essay is complemented by four articles exploring various aspects of films by Bruckner and other contemporary women filmmakers. Women's writing from the early nineteenth century is addressed in two articles focusing on the role of gender in censorship. Two other articles attest to the continuing attraction of Friedrich Nietzsche for feminist literary critics: one claims his philosophy for a postmodern feminism, the other examines the significance of his 'ubermensch' for Helene von Bohlau's Halbtier! Two contributions explore Weimar literature: the first examines the marketing behind Vicki Baum's success, and the second shows how Baum and Irmgard Keun's 'New Mother' prepared the ground for the Nazi era's backlash against women. Another article applies Bakhtin's dialogue to a story by Lou Andreas Salome. The final essay critiques Sigrid Weigel's work on the Enlightenment discourses surrounding 'woman' and 'savage' and proposes the discourse of the body as a feminist model for intergrating issues of race and sexuality. The volume closes with comments by the editors on the role of graduate students in the profession.	Good / V Good 1995                 ISBN: 0-8032-9785-8

	GADANT.	WOMEN OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.	Zed	£3.75
	Monique Ed),	Women in the Third World - Mediterranean. The Mediterranean as a historical and cultural entity is the starting point of the women who have contributed to this book. Not for them a division into European and Arab women. Instead they stress the problems and experiences that bring them together, while being aware of the diverse experiences of women in different Mediterranean countries. The description of a childbirth in Algeria, that country's reluctant acceptance of education for women and their entry into modern jobs, give a sense of what Islam means to women. In contrast, women in Tunisia, uniquely in the Arab world, already benefit from progressive legal changes, but a gulf still exists between the law and male attitudes and behaviour. Surprisingly, the problems of Yugoslavian women are not so very different from those faced by Algerian or Tunisian women. Are today's Turkish women amancipated? More and more women in Corsica question the traditional roles of submissive wife and venerated mother. Palestinian women argue that their country's liberation cannot be achieved while half the society stays at home; at the same time, national liberation may have to take precedence over women's liberation. We learn that the return to the veil in Egypt cannot be seen as a kind of simplistic social regression. Two spanish women recall their experiences of the Civil War when ther and other working-class women founded the Free Women movement. And Rossana Rossanda asks what identity women ought to assume.

	GOLDEN.	THE WOMEN OUTSIDE	California	£6.95
	Stephanie,	Meanings and Myths of Homelessness. Drawing upon four years' experience as a volunteer in a shelter, Stephanie Golden offers a stark and startling new portrait of homeless women. Taking us inside shelters, out on the streets, and deep into the lives and experiences of homeless women, The Women Outside uses wide-ranging scholarship to integrate a range of perspectives - historical, sociological, psychological, literary, and mythic - in a wholly original and incisive investigation of women so disturbing we try to ignore them and ultimately turn away. In their own words, we hear about experiences of a variety of women, Norma, committed to a mental hospital by her husband, keenly intelligent, but fluctuating between violent ups and downs that prevent her from keeping a job; Deborah, who grew up ina close-knit Jewish neighborhood and was discovered forty years later by an old playmate as a bag lady on the street; Ellen, who lived for three years in a box on Ninth Avenue and lost several fingers to frostbite before she was coaxed inside by a group of nuns. In a cultural analysis that moves from the seventeenth century to the present, Golden explores the truth about and the mythology surrounding the 'deviant' women who have lived apart from family or home - hobos, tramps, witches, and prostitutes - women whise forbidden female power and sexuality made the appear uncanny and threatening. in fact, Golden casts the contemporary homeless woman as the modern witch, who, like all marginal figures, fulfills a definite function for society simply by not being in it. Asserting that these fears have shaped policy decisions about homeless women, Golden debunks current stereotypes about the so-called mantal illness of homeless women and calls for new public policies recognising that homelessness is by and large a result not of individual pathology but simply of a lack of affordable housing.

The interviews in this book, conducted without the knowledge of the authorities, go behind the curtain of ideology and counter-ideology to present thirteen representstives Soviet women who speak out about their lives. They have a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and views and one of them is a Party member. They discuss their children, their husbands, their jobs and daily routines, their idelas and aspirations. Conversations as spomtaneous as these rarely emerge from the Soviet Union. They present an unprecedented insight not only into conditions there, but also into how the women see themselves and each other. Carola Hansson and Karin Liden provide a succinct and lively commentary introducing each woman in turn and giving background information about women's place in the Soviet Union today, where there is no Women's Movement comparable to that in the West, but where women's equality is firmly entrenched in the official ideology, where only eight of the 320 members of the Central Committee are women, though a greater proportion of women work outside the home than perhaps in any other country; where contraceptives are unreliable and sometimes difficult to come by, but abortion is on demand and four out of five pregnancies are ternminated...

	Valerie,	Beginning with an attempt to understand her own experience of pubs - as a customer and as a barmaid - Valerie Hey looks to historical and ethnographic accounts of public house life in Victorian London, post World War Two Bolton, and rural Herefordshire in the 1960s. Within these texts, and by relating them to contemporary experiences, she highlights several fascinating similarities which all portray structuring the domain of this social space. In particular it is an account which owes a great deal to the feminist recognition of the social construction of femininity as threatening and subversive and 'needing' controol via the social practices of exclusion or tokenism. Underpinning this argument is the insistence on seeing male bonding as a fragile and insecure strategy based on intractable instabilities endemic to patriarchal masculinity. Patriarchy and Pub Culture contributes to a reading of men as occupying a position of power which can be challenged, and should inspire others to offer some more interpretations of this and other social institutions.

	HOLLAND.	SOVIET SISTERHOOD	Fourth	£3.75
	Barbara Ed),	British Feminists on Women in the USSR. Apart from food queues, political opposition seems to be the only aspect of Soviet life the Western media has any time for. Soviet Sisterhood attempts to redress this imbalance by vividly describing the kinds of lives led by the millions of ordinary women who face us across the nuclear divide. In a series of articles on an exhaustively comprehensive range of subjects, from maternity care and women's magazines to Russian feminism and the fate of the exiled feminists, Soviet Sisterhood challenges the official Soviet position on women. The women in Eastern Europe Group claims that far from solving the 'women problem', Soviet ideology has actually compounded the problems normally facing women by making new and conflicting demands upon them. At a time of worsening labour shortages and consternation about the low birthrate, the Soviet woman's role as both producer and reproducer is placing her, as well as Soviet ideology under increasing pressure. Part of the picture that emerges will unexpectedly familiar to women in the West. But the extent to which inequality persists in an avowedly egalitarian society may surprise many readers. As Barbara Holland notes in her introduction, however, 'the point is to try to put aside all our prejudices, and to understand the unique position of Soviet women'.

Numerous books have appeared on the subject of Nazi Germany, yet half he germans who helped to make dictatorship, war and genocide possible have largely escaped notice. Why was it that German women rallied round a man who promised to eliminate Jews from 'Aryan' society and to expel women from public influence, and flocked to support a party that declared the only role of women to be 'the increase and preservation of the species of the race'? From extensive research, including a remarkable interview with the unrepentant chief of Hitler's Women's Bureau, Claudia Koonz has traced the roles played by women as followers, victims and resisters - in the rise of Nazism. Her book is an important contribution to the understanding of women's status, culpability, resistence and victimisation at all levels of German society, and a record of astonishing ironies and paradoxical morality, of compromise and courage, of submission and survival.
