BATTERSBY.

GENDER & GENIUS.

Women's Press

£4.50

 

Christine,

Towards a Feminist Aesthetics.

In this exciting and groundbreaking book, Christine Battersby traces the idea of genius, revelaing why this precious attribute has always been an exclusively male preserve. She shows how pagan myths associated divinity with male procreativity, and how these ideas continue to bar women from the potential for creative genius today.

Since Ancient Roman times, human excellence has been modelled on the male body. Even for the Romantics, who valued emotion, imagination and other supposedy 'feminie' qualities, artistic creation required male sexual energy. Still later, even Simone de Beauvoir was unable to identify a single woman genius.

Now, post-modernism is working to enrich a history that has consistently denied the existence of great women creators, Gende and genius offers a vital alternative to current debates, paving the way for a new evaluative aesthetics. One that will allow us to recognise the enormous acheivments of women artists in the past and in the present.

  Lynda, Wendy (The Brighton Women & Science Group).

The Power of Science Over Women's Lives.

Test-tube babies, machine-regulated birth, control of behaviour by drugs, breeding out 'undesirable' qualities - has the Brave New World arrived? Science exerts immense power over women's lives - but women have little or no control over what is done in its name.

For the first time, this book looks at why this is so, and examines the impact of science and technology in familiar areas such as contraception, mental health, childbirth, and the not-so-familar, selective breeding, psychological testing, evolutionary theory.

The resulting information is both startling and disturbing. Science, it seems, is largely male-dominated, and has been more often destructive than humane in its effects. Its uses and abuses must be urgently re-examined if we are to retain control of our bodies and minds, our private and our public lives. This book is vital reading for the general reader, the scientist and the social scientist and all those who value the quality of human life.

BROWNMILLER.

FEMININITY

Paladin

£3.50

 

Susan,

In other ages, the tools of feminity were the hobble skirt and the patch box, the bound foot or the dimpled arm.

In our time, the tools have changed but the goals remain much the same. Why else can we now laugh at the whalebone corset, yet still take our latest diet so very seriously?

Susan Brownmiller acknowledges both the power and the complexity of her subject. With refreshing personal honesty and scrupulous fairness, she considers femininity in all its ambiguities: its roots in history, culture and religion; the points at which it mirrors biology and the points where the two diverge (and often conflict).

Femininity is the lively and witty study of the paradox inherent in the 2 concepts of 'female' and 'feminine'. It is not a tub-thumping polemic, but an intelligent, humorous and acute examination of our culture and our times.

Mary,

The Metaethics of Radical Feminism.

Gynecology is a book unlike any other. it invtes us to acknowledge without forgiveness or collusion those forces which have shaped our lives.

Recognising them, we may move beyond them to cherish and develop that strength in ourselves which is surviving the centuries of gynocide: the ritualised, actualised mutilation, burning, mind-binding and torture of uncountered millions of women on pyres in India, tottering on stumps in China, hanging from witches' stakes in Europe, genitally mutilated in Africa and the Middle East, lying on psychiatrists' and gynecologists' couches all over the Western world.

In it's total lack of inhibition by patriarchal forms, its exhilarating elucidation and creation of language, its sombre declarations of what has previously been kept hidden, in all those precious things. Gynecology is a work of revolution.

Writings on Women and the Media.

From popstars and politicians to page 3 pin-ups, each day we are bombarded by images of women in the media. But how accurately do they reflect how we see ourselves?

This anthology sets out to explore the images that appear - and those that do not - in television and radio, newspapers and magazines. it looks specifically at the topics of race, class, disability, sexuality and age, and examines how the media treat women in the public eye from Margaret Thatcher to Madonna, from Princess Di to the women of Greenham Common.

Sheila Grant and Hilda Ogden, Krystal and Alexis, Cagney and Lacey - the fictions on our TV screens are discussed, along with media portrayal of violence, health, work and romance. This is a comprehensive study which sets out the facts and provides practical advice on how we can challenge the stereotypes and work to gain access to and control over the image-making process.

  DINNERSTEIN. THE ROCKING OF THE CRADLE AND THE RULING OFTHE WORLD. Women's Press
£3.95
  Dorothy,

This book has come to be recognised as a classic of feminist psychological and political analysis.

First published in America under the title 'The Mermaids and the Minotaur', it was soon uniquely respected - and controversial - among those concerned with the effects of our 'traditional gender arrangements' not only on individual lives and psyches but upon what the author acidly calls 'the male-female collaboration to keep history mad'.

Dorothy Dinnerstein argues that, until we can fully understand, and change, the process by which men and women collude to maintain the woman in the role of mother, we shall perpetuate not only the injustice of women's oppression but the alienation an brutalisation of men that so perilously threatens our planet.

Chatto

£4.50

 

Susan,

The Undeclared War against Women.

Women have an enemy and ut is feminism. Or so the propagandaists of the backlash would have us believe. Their vices trumpet the message from television and cinema screens, from the women's magazines, from the bookshops, from government. Women have tried tohave it all, and are paying the price. Even some of the first-wave feminists are saying it. the only problem is that it isn't true.

Pulitzer Prize-winner journalist Susan Faludi investigates and exposes the various myths on which the backlash is based, from the 'man shortage' to the 'infertility epidemic' to the closing of the pay gap.

If women are distressed, she argues, it is not because of too much feminism and independence, but because their progress and confidence since the 1970s have been systematically undermined. This is not a polemic. This is a finely documented book in which Susan Faludi dissects the lies that have underpinned 'post-feminism'.

Collection of 27 articles on the major women's issues of the decade shows why feminists have only begun to fight. WOmen are still paid less than their male counterparts, rape and wife battering remain brutal social problems and inadequate day care still threatens women's right to work.

These and many other injudtices that undermine more than fifty percent of Canada's population are thoughtfully explored in this timely and provocative book.

Talented writers from across the country review the dynamic changes in the women's movement over the ast ten years. Controversial issues like abortion, pornography, sexulaity and women and work are examined. Non-traditional jobs for women, rape and day care are only a few of the many concerns brought into focus.

Still Aint Satisfied! provides a stimulating look at some of the most important issues of our time, issues which have touched the lives of all individuals in this country.

It shows how male hatred for, and predation on, women injure or destroy women across the globe. Indeed, women-hatred is not just an attitude, but a system; it pervades all of life, from global accounting and development agencies, to our institutions, to our life at home and in public.

It is the most serious problem facing women everywhere; one which both sexes urgently need to address. Cogently and persuasively argued, this stunning work of research constructc a completely convincing argument that there is, indeed, a war against women.

Betty,

Analysis of the position of women in Western society.

Today a family and home constitute the twin heights of feminine ambition. But one looming problem remains to be solved... the problem that has no name...

America in recent years has tried to go back on the emancipation of women. In this startling survey Betty Friedan lays bare, with the exactness of a soiologist, the deep malaise which gnaws at the happiness... caged in comfortable homes, loyally conforming to the pretty, fluffy image of the magazines, but condemned for life to a spiritual death and continually asking 'who am i?'

In her final chapter Mrs Friedan propses a new plan for women and shows them a way out of their dilemma.

Essays and Analysis.

In recent years, there has been a growing challenge to conventional sociological practice and to the ways in which gender has been either ignored or treated relatively uncritically. This is especially true in the central areas of class and work. the essays here seek to place gender at the centre of any analysis of social class, of work and work processes.

These studies include historical analyses of the crucial role of women in primitive capital accumilation and paternalism in a Victorian factory; re-analyses of statistical pictures of the class structure and of social mobility; discussion of the work experiences and expectations and relations with managment and union officials of women in a variety of work settings; and discussions of women in the labour market.

Elaine,

Gender, Personhood and Theology.

One of the most significant phenomena within the Western church over the past twenty-five years has been the emergence of feminist theology.

This both reflects and promotes pastoral and policy concerns about the proper roles and relationships of women and men within Christian church, such as the validity of women's priestly ministry, the use of 'inclusive' language in liturgy and the metaphorical naming of God.

At the heart of the debate is the question of the meaning and significance of gender in theology and Christian practice.

Focusing on three major disciplines - anthropology, biology and psychoanalysis - she demonstrates how these offer profound implications for our understanding of the foundations of human culture and identity, for theological studies and for Christian procatice.

Prompted by her own experiences of bearing two children in mid-career, Sylvia Ann Hewlett confronts head-on the achievments of the women's liberation movement and performs a searing dissection of the problems facing women today.

The conclusions she comes to are both shocking and enlightening.

Growing Up Under Patriarchy.

Since the icons of Jesus, Mary and Joseph are all-pervasive in Western culture, the 'holy family' is the one we tend to look to as the model for 'successful' family life. yet countless women have rejected this archetype: the divorce rate is soaring and there are many more single parent families.

Does this mean that the family is in crisis, or is in the process of transformation? Is the nuclear family good for us?

The latest Hite Report take sthe lid off psycho-sexual identity within the nuclear family and brings a startling new perspective to the debate: one that rejects the assumptions of much conventional psychology for the latest insights of feminism.

Women and Technology.

Women have always used technology, but never from a position of control. The history of technology has been premised on the world that men protect and provide for women while women service them.

Even women scientists are expected to serve as wife-like and daughter-like assistants to their male colleagues. Recent developments in reproductive technologies, which use the female body as the subject of scientific experiment, mean that women now have even less control over their bodies and their own lives.

This collection of essays focuses on how women are affected worlwide by environmental toxins, reproductive and biochemical technologies ad surrogacy. The authors, all members of the institute on Women and Technology, stress the need for a scientific policy which empowers women and in which women's dignity and autonomy are central considerations.

  • Can women withstand the weight of misogynist ideas that burdens science fiction and, instead, use its radical and progressive potentialities for their own ends?
  • Does science fiction offer certain freedoms to women writers - in terms of form as well as content - unavailable to them in the mainstream?

In this detailed and original analysis of contemporary science fiction written by women, Sarah lefanu explores these ideas and links them to her thesis that science fiction is the ideal form for the fusion of feminist politics with the imagination.

Through intriguing literary criticism of the work of writers such as Joanna Russ, Ursula Le Guin, Suzy McKee Charnas, James Tiptree Jr, and Joesphine Saxton, she explores the ways in which feminist ideas have been stealthily at work, subverting male authority in one of its strongholds.

The Rise of the Women's Suffrage Movement.

The north of England was the cradle of the suffrage movement: here women worked long hours in factories and mills, struggled against poverty and hardship at home, and, at the turn of the century, fought not only for the vote but for a wide range of women's rights.

These radical suffragists, among them remarkable women like Selina Cooper and Ada Nield Chew, called for equal pay, birth control and child allowances. They took their message to women at the factory gate and the cottage door, to the Co-operative Guilds and trade union branches.

One Hand Tied Behind Us, using much unpublished material and interviews with the last surviving descendants of these suffragists, creates a vivid and moving portrait of strong women who, over seventy years ago, envisaged freedoms for which we are still fighting today.
