Memory, meaning, and resistance
This book is based on over 100 oral histories gathered from women from a variety of racial, ethnic, and geographical backgrounds. Buss analyzes this body of work, identifying common themes in women's lives and resistance that unite the oral histories she has gathered. From the beginning, her work has shed light on the inseparable, compounding effects of gender, race, ethnicity, and class on women's lives, what is now commonly called intersectionality. The book is structured thematically, with each chapter analyzing a concept that runs through the oral histories, e.g., agency, activism, religion.- Creator

The end of patriarchy
This publication asks one key question: what do we need to create stable and decent human communities that can thrive in a sustainable relationship with the larger living world? The answer of the author is feminism and a critique of patriarchy. He calls for a radical feminist challenge to institutionalized male dominance: an uncompromising rejection of men’s assertion of a right to control women’s sexuality: and a demand for an end to the violence and coercion that are at the heart of all systems of domination and subordination.- Creator

Gendering modernism
Gendering Modernism offers a critical reappraisal of the modernist movement, asking how gender norms of the time shaped the rebellion of the self-avowed modernists and examining the impact of radical gender reformers on modernism. Focusing primarily on the connections between North American and European modernists, the author explains why it is imperative that we consider the gender angles of modernism as a way to understand the legacies of the movement. She provides an overview of the scholarship on modernism and an analysis of how definitions of modernism have evolved with that scholarship. Interweaving case studies from before the Great War to the interwar period - looking at individual modernists from Ibsen to Picasso, Hannah Höch to Josephine Baker - she covers various fields such as art, literature, theatre and film, whilst also demonstrating how modernism manifested itself in the major social-political and cultural shifts of the 20th century, including feminism, psychology, sexology, eugenics, nudism, anarchism, communism and fascism.- Creator

On ne naît pas femme: on le devient
This collection of essays takes up the most famous feminist sentence ever written, Simone de Beauvoir's 'On ne naît pas femme: on le devient,', in the book The Second Sex, finding in it a flashpoint that galvanizes feminist thinking and action in multiple dimensions. Two controversies emerge in the life of this sentence: a controversy over the practice of translation and a controversy over the nature and status of sexual difference.- Creator

Founding friendships
This book traces the foundations and consequences of heterosocial friendships between elite women and men in the early American republic between end of 18th century and early 19th century. It provides examples of friendships to illustrate the lived experience and the importance of these relationships in women's and men's lives. It also considers literary discussions about friendship at the time, drawing on novels, advice literature and poetry. The second half of the book explores how friendships operated and addressed issues of power and gender difference. By focusing on letters and gifts, it looks at the dynamics of exchanges between friends and the way friends framed exchanges to appear proper. Conclusively, this book illustrates what mixed-sex friendships meant for individuals and the nation in the early republic.- Creator
