- Description
- Talking back and acting out is a collection of writing by women who actively negotiate, reconstruct, and re-imagine their identities in opposition to dominant cultural constructions. The collection explores individual women's refusal to be reduced to hegemonic constructions, prescribed identities, and limited possibilities. The essays highlight stories of women who push the boundaries of what it means to be a woman in this multicultural, yet white supremacist, society.

- Description
- Are female office holders most acceptable when they most resemble men? Why has a woman never led the Department of the Treasury, or Defense, or Veterans Affairs? Reflecting on these and similar questions, MaryAnne Borrelli explores women's selection for—and exclusion from—U.S. cabinet positions. .She considers how the rhetoric employed in the selection and confirmation of secretaries-designate establishes gendered expectations for the performance of nominees once they are in office. Analyzing the career paths of secretaries appointed from the 1930s through the first year of the George W. Bush administration, she demonstrates how gender shapes political judgments—by presidents, senators, and the nominees themselves—to reflect consistently masculine ideas about who should rule and how power should be exercised in the USA.

- Description
- The author traces thirty years of public debate to examine how and to what extend the phrase 'lesbian mother' has been used in the mass media, the US legal system and recent scholarschip in feminist psychology. Looking closely at the period 1970 - 2000 she examines mainstream newspapers and alternative publications. In legal cases she analyses how courts have interpreted 'the best interest of the child'. To explore the academic response to lesbian motherhood Thompson looks at different theoretical models and psychological studies.
