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

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. |

Ruth, Ed, |
Collection of essays explores the nature of contemporary
science and attempts to extend our vision toward a science that is better,

Representing a variety of viewpoints, the contributors
include Ruth Bleir, Elizabeth Fee,
Donna Haraway, Sarah Blaffer Hardy, Marion
Namewirth, Hilary Rose, Sue V Rosser, Susan
Searing, and Mariamne H Whatley. Each

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

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.

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'. |

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

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. |

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. |

The
Myth of Women's Liberation.
In the seventies, feminism was all about
equality. yet, despite grand ideals of 'progressive change', most women
are now worse off than their mothers, having lost the protections of traditional
marriage without improving their earning power.
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.

Marielouise, |
The
Male Monopoly on History and Thought.
'Sexism' is a rich and readable sourcebook
on the history and workings of patriarchy in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. MarieLouise Janssen-Jurreit surveys the major debates of early
feminism through history, economics, literature, anthropology, politics,
philosophy and psychoanalysis to biology. 'Sexism' is a tour de force.
MarieLouise Janssen-Jurriet provides
a powerful analysis of how male domination over women has become and continues
to be accepted.
She explores questions concerning matriarchy,
the relationship between socialism and feminism, the sexual division of
labour, female biology and the various forms of violence against women.
She covers Third World cultures as well
those of the industrialised world, providing many startling points for
further discussion. |

Sarah, |
Feminism
& Science Fiction.
- How have women influenced
the traditional male preserve of
science fiction?
- 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. |
