- Description
- When first published in 1972 this book was the first to address critical questions about women and mental health. Combining interviews with patients with an analysis of women's roles in history, society and myth, Chesler concludes that there is a terrible double standard when it comes to mental health. In this new edition, she addresses many of the most relevant issues to women and mental health today, including eating disorders, social acceptance of antidepressants, addictions, sexuality, postpartum depression and more.

- Description
- 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.

- Description
- Debates about and insurgencies against female circumcision are symptoms of a disease emanating from a mindset that produced hierarchies of humans, conquered colonies, and built empires. The mindset finds its articulation at points of coalescence. Female circumcision provided a point of coalescence and impetus for the articulation. Insisting that the hierarchy on which the imperialist project rests is not bipolar but multi-layered and more complex, the contributions show how imperialist discourses complicate issues of gender, race, and history. Nnaemeka gives voice to the silenced and marginalized, and creates space for them to participate in knowledge construction and theory making.

- Description
- In this book Badinter launches a broadside against the way in which feminism has evolved since the 1990s. After the victories of the past decades, during women had made some real advances in social and political life, a new sensibility began to emarge in the 1990s which led to reversel in the hierchy of values. The cult of victimhood has become widespread and had affected feminism.Women are viewed as defenceless and oppressed, social violence and sexual violence are treated as the same. Feminism of the last years has reactiveted old stereotypes and that is a dead end.

- Description
- Gender and colonial space is an analysis of relation between social relations – including notions of class, nationality and gender – and spatial relations, landscape, topography and travel – in post-colonial contexts. .Arguing against much of the psychoanalytic focus of current post-colonial theory, Mills aims to set out in a new direction, drawing on a wide range of literary and non-literary texts to illustrate a more materialist approach. She foregrounds gender in this field where it has often been marginalised by the critical orthodoxies, demonstrating its importance not only in spatial theorising in general, but in the post-colonial theorising of space in particular. .Concentrating on the period of ‘high’ British colonialism at the close of the nineteenth century, she adroitly examines a range of contexts, roving across India, Africa, America, Australia and Britain, illustrating how relations must be analysed for the way in which different colonial contexts define, constitute and re-constitute each other.

- Description
- Through original oral history interviews with key activists and analysis of previously unexamined organizational records, Kimberly Springer traces the emergence, life, and decline of several black feminist organizations: the Third World Women’s Alliance, Black Women Organized for Action, the National Black Feminist Organization, the National Alliance of Black Feminists, and the Combahee River Collective. The first of these to form was founded in 1968: all five were defunct by 1980. Springer demonstrates that these organizations led the way in articulating an activist vision formed by the intersections of race, gender, class, and sexuality.. .The organizations Springer examines were the first to explicitly use feminist theory as a tool to further the work of previous black women’s organizations. As she describes, they emerged in response to marginalization in the civil rights and women’s movements, stereotyping in popular culture, and misrepresentation in public policy. Springer compares the organizations’ ideologies, goals, activities, memberships, leadership styles, finances, and communication strategies. Reflecting on the conflicts, lack of resources, and burnout that led to the demise of these groups, she considers the future of black feminist organizing, particularly at the national level. Living for the Revolution is an essential reference: it provides the history of a movement that influenced black feminist theory and civil rights activism for decades to come. .
