The woman question
Aan de orde komen theoretische discussies zowel over identiteit als over de economische en politieke positie van vrouwen. Aan de hand van het gender vraagstuk wordt niet alleen getoond hoe de wereld georganiseerd is maar ook hoe die wereld begrepen en geïnterpreteerd wordt. Er wordt in het bijzonder ingegaan op de interactie tussen etniciteit, klasse, gender en seksualiteit.- Creator

Black female sexualities
The essays in this book reveal the diverse ways black women experience and represent sexuality. The contributors highlight the range of tactics that black women use to express their sexual desires and identities. .The authors take not only an interdisciplinary approach, but also an intergenerational one, in conversation with the foremothers of black feminist studies. In addition, the book explores a diverse archive of representations, covering everything from blues to hip-hop, from Crash to Precious, from Sister Souljah to Edwidge Danticat. Revealing that black female sexuality is anything but a black-and-white issue, this collection demonstrates how to appreciate a whole spectrum of subjectivities, experiences, and desires.- Creator

Fifty shades of feminism
To mark Virago's 40th birthday, the publisher has produced this collection of personal responses to the question, 'What is feminism and what does it mean to you?' The 50-plus brief accounts, from successful and often celebrated women – selected to be multi-cultural, varied in class, age and sexual orientation (albeit mainly London-based) – all address the question with that familiar feminist mantra, 'The personal is the political'. They draw powerful lessons from exploitation and marginalisation, as well as violence towards women in families, workplaces and the public realms of law and politics, not to mention the spheres of theatre, fiction and pornography.- Creator

Feminisms
Spanning nearly two decades, from 1980 to 1996, this Reader investigates the debates which have best characterized feminist theory. Including such articles as Pornography and Fantasy, The Body and Cinema, Nature as Female, and A Manifesto for Cyborgs, the extracts examine thoughts on sexualtiy as a domain of exploration, the visual representation of women, what being a feminist means, and why feminists are increasingly involved in political struggles to negotiate the context and meaning of technological development.- Creator

Feminisme. Wat bedoelen we ermee en wat kunnen we ermee? Dit boek steekt een thermometer in de samenleving om te zien hoe de stand van zaken is. Wat is er al bevochten en bereikt? Zijn er zaken die nog beter moeten? Dekt het woord 'feminisme' eigenlijk nog wel de lading? Ruim vijftig auteurs, vrouwen en mannen, geven hun visie en tonen de veelstemmigheid en veelkleurigheid van het feminisme: van de jongste generatie tot de eerste generatie feministen. De auteurs komen uit alle verschillende hoeken van de samenleving: kunstenaars, academici, wetenschappers, journalisten, activisten, et cetera. Elk facet van het feminisme wordt belicht, van lustpil tot de vraag of islam en feminisme te verenigen zijn.- Creator

Chick lit
From the bestselling Bridget Jones's Diary that started the trend to the television sensation Sex and the City that captured it on screen, 'chick lit' has become a major pop culture phenomenon. Banking on female audiences' identification with single, urban characters who struggle with the same life challenges, publishers have earned millions and even created separate imprints dedicated to the genre. Not surprisingly, some highbrow critics have dismissed chick lit as trashy fiction, but fans have argued that it is as empowering as it is entertaining. .The contributors in this volume explore the characteristics that cause readers to attach the moniker 'chick' to a particular book and what, if anything, distinguishes the category of chick lit from the works of Jane Austen on one end and Harlequin romance novels on the other. They critique the genre from a range of critical perspectives, considering its conflicted relationship with feminism and postfeminism, heterosexual romance, body image, and consumerism. The fourteen original essays gathered here also explore such trends and subgenres as 'Sistah Lit,' 'Mommy Lit,' and 'Chick Lit Jr.,' as well as regional variations.- Creator
