- Description
- The contributors to this book examine women and the construction of gender thematically, dealing with the areas of politics, law, religion, sexuality, literature and economics, and in a variety of social categories, from Christians and Moriscas, queens and merchants, peasants and visionaries, heretics and madwomen. The essays cover different regions in the Spanish monarchy, including Andalusia, Aragon, Castile, Catalonia, Valencia and Spanish America, from the fifteenth century through to the eighteenth century. The book focuses on two central themes: gender relations in the shaping of family and community life, and women's authority in spheres of power. The representation of women in a variety of texts such as poetry, court cases, or even account books illustrate the multifaceted world in which women lived, constantly choosing and negotiating their identities.

- Description
- The authors discuss whether a female tradition of power might have existed distinct from the male one, and how such a tradition might have been transmitted. It describes women's progress toward power as a push-pull movement, showing how practices and institutions that ostensibly enabled women in the Middle Ages could sometimes erode their authority as well. This book updates the conclusions from the editors' volume on that topic, Women and power in the Middle Ages (1988).

- Description
- The essays collected in this bolume examine representations of masculinity in post-war and contemporary British literature, focussing on the works of writers as John Osborne, Joe Orton, James Kelman, Graham Swift, Ian Rankin, Carol Ann Duffy, Alan Hollinghurst, Ian McEwan and Jackie Kay. The contributors seek to capture the current historical moment of 'crisis', at which masculinity loses its universal transparency and becomes visible as a performative gender construct. As the contributors demonstrate, millennial manhood is a gender 'in transition'. Patriarchal strategies of man-making are gradually being replaced by less exclusionary patterns of self-identification inspired by feminism.

- Description
- This anthology focuses exclusively on queer readings of Spanish, Latin American, and U.S. Latina lesbian literature and culture. It interrogates issues of gender, national identity, race, ethnicity, and class to show the impossibility of projecting a singular Hispanic or Latina lesbian. Examining the works of a range of lesbian writers and performance artists, including Carmelita Tropicana and Cristina Peri Rossi, among others, Tortilleras creates a picture of the complicated and multi-textured contributions of Latina and Hispanic lesbians to literature and culture.
