This volume is an anthology of nonfiction writing by women. The text is divided into two sections: the first section contains from three to four pieces by fifteen major women writers; the second section presents thirty-four classic essays from the feminist tradition. This is the little book that started a revolution, making women's voices heard, in their own right and with their own integrity, for virtually the first time in social scientific theorizing about women. Its impact was immediate and continues to this day, in the academic world and beyond.

Translated into sixteen languages, with more than , copies sold around the world, In a Different Voice has inspired new research, new educational initiatives, and political debate—and helped many women and men to see themselves and each other in a different light.

More than half of the world's farmers are women. They are the majority of the poor, the uneducated and are the first to suffer from drought and famine. Yet their subordination is reinforced by well-meaning development policies that perpetuate social inequalities.

During the United Nations Decade for the Advancement of Women their position actually worsened. This book analyses three decades of policies towards Third World women.

Focusing on global economic and political crises - debt, famine, militarization, fundamentalism - the authors show how women's moves to organize effective strategies for basic survival are central to an understanding of the development process.

In the s the French literary arena was enlivened by the emergence of a new generation of women writers. This book selects six of its most distinctive voices and addresses important questions about the very new in French women's writing.

What are young women choosing to write about? What do they tell us about changing perceptions of feminine identities? What does it mean to write and to read as women at the start of the new millennium? An introductory chapter explores key issues such as the woman writer in the public imagination and continuity and change within French women's writing since the s.

It also highlights thematic threads which recur across the work of the authors studied: history and time, wandering and exile, self and other, the body and sexuality and writing and telling. They focus on perennial preoccupations in women's writing which are given new treatment by these writers and discuss important developments such as uses of the pornographic, myth and fairy tale and parody and irony in new women's writing. While feminists have long recognised the importance of self-managed, alternative media to transport their messages, to challenge the status quo, and to spin novel social processes, this topic has been an under-researched area.

Hence, this book explores the processes of women's and feminist media production in the context of participatory spaces, technology, and cultural citizenship. The collection is composed of theoretical analyses and critical case studies. It highlights contemporary alternative feminist media in general as well as blogs, zines, culture jamming, and street art.

Artemisia Gentileschi is by far the most famous woman artist of the premodern era. Her powerful paintings with vigorous female protagonists chime with modern audiences, and she is celebrated by feminist critics and scholars.

Mary D. Garrard, noted Gentileschi scholar, shows that the artist most likely knew or knew about contemporary writers such as the Venetian feminists Lucrezia Marinella and Arcangela Tarabotti. She discusses recently discovered paintings, offers fresh perspectives on known works, and examines the artist anew in the context of feminist history. This beautifully illustrated book gives for the first time a full portrait of a strong woman artist who fought back through her art. Intersectional Theology: An Introductory Guide offers a pathway for reflective Christians, pastors, and theologians to apply the concepts and questions of intersectionality to theology.

Intersectionality is a tool for analysis, developed primarily by black feminists, to examine the causes and consequences of converging social identities gender, race, class, sexual identity, age, ability, nation, religion within interlocking systems of power and privilege sexism, racism, classism, heterosexism, ableism, ageism, nativism and to foster engaged, activist work toward social justice.

This book provides an overview of theories of intersectionality and suggests questions of intersectionality for theology, challenging readers to imagine an intersectional church, a practice of welcome and inclusion rooted in an ecclesiology that embraces difference and centers social justice. Rather than providing a developed systematic theology, Intersectional Theology encourages readers to apply its method in their own theologizing to expand their own thinking and add their experiences to a larger theology that moves us all toward the kin-dom of God.

This multivoiced collection of essays and images presents a "relational" feminism of diverse communities, affiliations, and practices. Camus' study first tries to reinstate Gaskell as one of the significant novelists of the mid Victorian period through looking at her work as a whole, avoiding the usual dividing line between her condition-of-England novels and her more intimate fiction.

It then aims at inscribing Gaskell in the tradition of women writers who wrote not only for literary posterity but also to express and defend a woman's vision of the world. The feminist aspect of Gaskell's writing is uncovered here in all its determination but also in its hesitations. Author : J.

These women of Central and Latin America have been largely invisible until now, but they are at last turning their voices into action. International development policy and its top-down culture must take much of the blame for environmental and social destruction of the rainforest. Presenting the contrasting results of different methodologies, a comprehensive literature review, and the voices of the rainforest women themselves, told in life histories, the authors argue for the adoption of "grassroots" strategies, not international solutions.
