	BATTERSBY.	GENDER & GENIUS.	Women's Press	£4.50
	Christine,	Towards a Feminist Aesthetics. In this exciting and groundbreaking book, Christine Battersby traces the idea of genius, revelaing why this precious attribute has always been an exclusively male preserve. She shows how pagan myths associated divinity with male procreativity, and how these ideas continue to bar women from the potential for creative genius today. Since Ancient Roman times, human excellence has been modelled on the male body. Even for the Romantics, who valued emotion, imagination and other supposedy 'feminie' qualities, artistic creation required male sexual energy. Still later, even Simone de Beauvoir was unable to identify a single woman genius. Now, post-modernism is working to enrich a history that has consistently denied the existence of great women creators, Gende and genius offers a vital alternative to current debates, paving the way for a new evaluative aesthetics. One that will allow us to recognise the enormous acheivments of women artists in the past and in the present.	V Good / Mint 1994           ISBN: 0-7043-4300-2

	Lynda, Wendy (The Brighton Women & Science Group).	The Power of Science Over Women's Lives. Test-tube babies, machine-regulated birth, control of behaviour by drugs, breeding out 'undesirable' qualities - has the Brave New World arrived? Science exerts immense power over women's lives - but women have little or no control over what is done in its name. For the first time, this book looks at why this is so, and examines the impact of science and technology in familiar areas such as contraception, mental health, childbirth, and the not-so-familar, selective breeding, psychological testing, evolutionary theory. The resulting information is both startling and disturbing. Science, it seems, is largely male-dominated, and has been more often destructive than humane in its effects. Its uses and abuses must be urgently re-examined if we are to retain control of our bodies and minds, our private and our public lives. This book is vital reading for the general reader, the scientist and the social scientist and all those who value the quality of human life.	Fair / Good 1980       ISBN: 0 86068 079 7
	BLEIR.	FEMINIST APPROACHES TO SCIENCE.	Athene	£4.95
	Ruth, Ed,	Collection of essays explores the nature of contemporary science and attempts to extend our vision toward a science that is better, different, and feminist.

Representing a variety of viewpoints, the contributors include Ruth Bleir, Elizabeth Fee, Donna Haraway, Sarah Blaffer Hardy, Marion Namewirth, Hilary Rose, Sue V Rosser, Susan Searing, and Mariamne H Whatley. Each contributor pushes beyond the criticism of mainstream science to examine the formulation of sciences, which will be transformed by feminist perspectives and approaches.

	BROWNMILLER.	FEMININITY	Paladin	£3.50
	Susan,	In other ages, the tools of feminity were the hobble skirt and the patch box, the bound foot or the dimpled arm. In our time, the tools have changed but the goals remain much the same. Why else can we now laugh at the whalebone corset, yet still take our latest diet so very seriously? Susan Brownmiller acknowledges both the power and the complexity of her subject. With refreshing personal honesty and scrupulous fairness, she considers femininity in all its ambiguities: its roots in history, culture and religion; the points at which it mirrors biology and the points where the two diverge (and often conflict). Femininity is the lively and witty study of the paradox inherent in the 2 concepts of 'female' and 'feminine'. It is not a tub-thumping polemic, but an intelligent, humorous and acute examination of our culture and our times. Feminism / Sexual Politics	Fair / Good 1986             ISBN: 0-586-08534-3

	Mary,	The Metaethics of Radical Feminism. Gynecology is a book unlike any other. it invtes us to acknowledge without forgiveness or collusion those forces which have shaped our lives. Recognising them, we may move beyond them to cherish and develop that strength in ourselves which is surviving the centuries of gynocide: the ritualised, actualised mutilation, burning, mind-binding and torture of uncountered millions of women on pyres in India, tottering on stumps in China, hanging from witches' stakes in Europe, genitally mutilated in Africa and the Middle East, lying on psychiatrists' and gynecologists' couches all over the Western world. In it's total lack of inhibition by patriarchal forms, its exhilarating elucidation and creation of language, its sombre declarations of what has previously been kept hidden, in all those precious things.

But how accurately do they reflect how we see ourselves? This anthology sets out to explore the images that appear - and those that do not - in television and radio, newspapers and magazines. it looks specifically at the topics of race, class, disability, sexuality and age, and examines how the media treat women in the public eye from Margaret Thatcher to Madonna, from Princess Di to the women of Greenham Common. Sheila Grant and Hilda Ogden, Krystal and Alexis, Cagney and Lacey - the fictions on our TV screens are discussed, along with media portrayal of violence, health, work and romance. This is a comprehensive study which sets out the facts and provides practical advice on how we can challenge the stereotypes and work to gain access to and control over the image-making process.

First published in America under the title 'The Mermaids and the Minotaur', it was soon uniquely respected - and controversial - among those concerned with the effects of our 'traditional gender arrangements' not only on individual lives and psyches but upon what the author acidly calls 'the male-female collaboration to keep history mad'. Dorothy Dinnerstein argues that, until we can fully understand, and change, the process by which men and women collude to maintain the woman in the role of mother, we shall perpetuate not only the injustice of women's oppression but the alienation an brutalisation of men that so perilously threatens our planet.

	Susan,	The Undeclared War against Women. Women have an enemy and ut is feminism. Or so the propagandaists of the backlash would have us believe. Their vices trumpet the message from television and cinema screens, from the women's magazines, from the bookshops, from government. Women have tried tohave it all, and are paying the price. Even some of the first-wave feminists are saying it. the only problem is that it isn't true. Pulitzer Prize-winner journalist Susan Faludi investigates and exposes the various myths on which the backlash is based, from the 'man shortage' to the 'infertility epidemic' to the closing of the pay gap. If women are distressed, she argues, it is not because of too much feminism and independence, but because their progress and confidence since the 1970s have been systematically undermined. This is not a polemic. This is a finely documented book in which Susan Faludi dissects the lies that have underpinned 'post-feminism'.

But one looming problem remains to be solved... the problem that has no name... America in recent years has tried to go back on the emancipation of women. In this startling survey Betty Friedan lays bare, with the exactness of a soiologist, the deep malaise which gnaws at the happiness... caged in comfortable homes, loyally conforming to the pretty, fluffy image of the magazines, but condemned for life to a spiritual death and continually asking 'who am i?'

	Eva, David, June & Daphne,	Essays and Analysis. In recent years, there has been a growing challenge to conventional sociological practice and to the ways in which gender has been either ignored or treated relatively uncritically. This is especially true in the central areas of class and work. the essays here seek to place gender at the centre of any analysis of social class, of work and work processes. These studies include historical analyses of the crucial role of women in primitive capital accumilation and paternalism in a Victorian factory; re-analyses of statistical pictures of the class structure and of social mobility; discussion of the work experiences and expectations and relations with managment and union officials of women in a variety of work settings; and discussions of women in the labour market.

	GRAHAM.	MAKING THE DIFFERENCE	Mowbray	£4.25
	Elaine,	Gender, Personhood and Theology. One of the most significant phenomena within the Western church over the past twenty-five years has been the emergence of feminist theology. This both reflects and promotes pastoral and policy concerns about the proper roles and relationships of women and men within Christian church, such as the validity of women's priestly ministry, the use of 'inclusive' language in liturgy and the metaphorical naming of God. At the heart of the debate is the question of the meaning and significance of gender in theology and Christian practice. Focusing on three major disciplines - anthropology, biology and psychoanalysis - she demonstrates how these offer profound implications for our understanding of the foundations of human culture and identity, for theological studies and for Christian procatice.

The history of technology has been premised on the world that men protect and provide for women while women service them. Even women scientists are expected to serve as wife-like and daughter-like assistants to their male colleagues. Recent developments in reproductive technologies, which use the female body as the subject of scientific experiment, mean that women now have even less control over their bodies and their own lives. This collection of essays focuses on how women are affected worlwide by environmental toxins, reproductive and biochemical technologies ad surrogacy. The authors, all members of the institute on Women and Technology, stress the need for a scientific policy which empowers women and in which women's dignity and autonomy are central considerations.

	LEFANU.	IN THE CHINKS OF THE WORLD MACHINE	Women's Press	£3.50
	Sarah,	Feminism & Science Fiction. How have women influenced the traditional male preserve of science fiction? Can women withstand the weight of misogynist ideas that burdens science fiction and, instead, use its radical and progressive potentialities for their own ends? Does science fiction offer certain freedoms to women writers - in terms of form as well as content - unavailable to them in the mainstream? In this detailed and original analysis of contemporary science fiction written by women, Sarah lefanu explores these ideas and links them to her thesis that science fiction is the ideal form for the fusion of feminist politics with the imagination. Through intriguing literary criticism of the work of writers such as Joanna Russ, Ursula Le Guin, Suzy McKee Charnas, James Tiptree Jr, and Joesphine Saxton, she explores the ways in which feminist ideas have been stealthily at work, subverting male authority in one of its strongholds.

	LIDDINGTON & NORRIS.	ONE HAND TIED BEHIND US.	Virago	£3.50
	Jill & Jill.	The Rise of the Women's Suffrage Movement. The north of England was the cradle of the suffrage movement: here women worked long hours in factories and mills, struggled against poverty and hardship at home, and, at the turn of the century, fought not only for the vote but for a wide range of women's rights. These radical suffragists, among them remarkable women like Selina Cooper and Ada Nield Chew, called for equal pay, birth control and child allowances. They took their message to women at the factory gate and the cottage door, to the Co-operative Guilds and trade union branches. One Hand Tied Behind Us, using much unpublished material and interviews with the last surviving descendants of these suffragists, creates a vivid and moving portrait of strong women who, over seventy years ago, envisaged freedoms for which we are still fighting today.

	Mary & Judith,	Philosophical Problems Facing Feminism. The first full scale attempt to break the isolation in which problems about women are usually considered - to show feminism neither as a tiresome eccentricity nor as embattled cause, but as something essential both for our philosophical thinking nd for our practical efforts to improve the world. Mow, after two decades of astonishing progress, the women's movement can reassess its aims, methods and achievments. Mary Midgely and Judith Highes set out to do just this by locating the various strands of feminist thinking, and by drawing out the philosophical problems which arise. Are the traditional left-wing ideas, on which feminists have so far built, adequate, or do they need rethinking? Can the conflict between liberty and equality be resolved? If women do not want merely an equal share in existing evils - such as having their worth measured by the size of their children, or dying of overwork at fifty - what should be their aim?

	Juliet,	The author of the widely acclaimed 'Woman's Estate' here reassesses Freudian psychoanalysis in an attempt to develop an understanding of the psychology of femininity and the ideological oppression of women. Analysing sexuality, femininty and the family as they are treated in the works of Frued, Reich and Laing, she demonstrates that Freud's theories have much to offer women in the understanding of their sexuality, and compares him to Reich and Laing, whose contributions to the feminist cause, in her opinion, are less radical and more ephemeral. To support her case she discusses some interpretations of Freuds work and shows how the misunderstanding of his concept of the unconscious mind has led to misinterpretation of his theories.

	MITCHELL & OAKLEY.	THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF WOMEN.	Pelican	£2.95
	Juliet & Ann,	Are the rights of women any more recognised today than they ever were, and are their wrongs any less? The authors of this book - historians, sociologists, educationalists and literary critics - have, from many different political positions, set out to answer the question. Their contributions show that the world has changed but that the relative position of women in it has not. They show that from the days of Mary Wollstonecraft's struggles, through to the work of Harriet Martineau and Simone de Beauvoir, little or nothing has happened, in education, work, even in the clearly female province of childbearing, male attitudes, male controls and male structures still rule the roost. Liberal democracy has clearly made life easier; oppression and the responses to it have both become more subtle and that demand for subtlety is reflected in the differing responses from the authors. But throughout this carefully researched and excitingy written book; one message comes theough clearly: whatever 'sisterhood' may come to mean, the women's movement still has its greatest battle before it.

	Anne & Bill,	The Real Science of Gender Studies. This is a book about men, and so it is also about women, their view of men and men's understanding of women. It is a real and different contribution to life beyond the battle of words on gender. In the last decade men hjave been challenged, hectored and lectured to change from the old dominant male; to become the New Man; to get in touch with their feminine side - but what if it doesn't exist? Much of what has been written and taught ha presumend that most of the differences between men and women have been caused by society, and so can be altered, and lo, men and women would become alike. But in this stimulating book, Anne and Bill Moir show that in fact men's brains are wired differently fom women's, so that their stimuli and reactions cannot be the same; and that the increasing feminisation of society, of food and of education is detrimental to men, and eventually to women too. At work, at home, at school, in bed - men march to a different drummer, and to understand their desires and their drives is to comprehend the forces in society that many academics of gender studies deny.

	NEWTON.	THE FEMINIST CHALLENGE to the CANADIAN LEFT 1900 - 1918	McGill	£3.95
	Janice,	In this study of the role of women and feminism in the early Canadian socialist movement, Janice Newton traces the growth and ultimate decline of feminist ideas within the Canadian Socialist League, the Socialist Party of Canada, and the Social Democratic Party. Newton argues that socialist women and their concerns posed a radical challenge to the male-dominated left. Early socialist women fought to be treated as equals and actively debated popular women's issues, including domestic work, women in industry, sexuality, and women's suffrage. They provided a unique and vibrant perspectie on these issues and challenged the middle-class bias inherent in the women's movement. Broadening our understanding of Canadian social history, Newton analyses the intersection of two important social movements - the Canadian Left and turn of the century feminist movements - and draws conclusions that are intrinsic to understanding the class and gender characteristics of social criticism and activism in this period.

	RAYMOND.	A PASSION FOR FRIENDS.	Women's Press	£3.75
	Janice,	Toward a Philosophy of Female Affection. A vision of female friendship that is as exhilarating as it is controversial. She shows that friendship provides women with a culture and a common world, and she examines a cross-section of women's societies in the past, including the hetairai of antiquity, the medieval sisterhood of nuns, and the Chinese marriage resisters - a fascinating account of the thousands of women who chose to create their own communities in a harshly patriarchal world. Her critique of the contemporary women's movement is hard-hitting but ultimately optimistic - such a critique shows that feminism as a personal and political force is triumphantly alie. This is a tough book: in her clear-sighted analysis of women's friendships, her range of scholarship,and her acute observations unclouded by sentimentality, Raymond has produced a milestone in feminist thought.

	REID.	A PLEA FOR WOMAN	Polygon	£3.75
	Marion,	In this important early feminist text, Marion Reid describes the 'system of depression' which excluded women from real education and pushed women workers into the worst jobs. She argues that women can only change legal discrimination with the right to vote and select those who make laws. The duty of women choosiing domestic life is not to 'cringe and fawn for the sake of peace' but to develop the whole of their nature; women's skills in the home are as good a qualification for civil rights as the work done by most men. Claims that women's advancement is a threat to society or against Bible teachings are unfounded. Women must become conscious of the numbing effects of constant denigration and realise that development of their intellect and social responsibility is in the interest of humanity as a whole. Read by women in Britain, Ireland and the USA when first published, A Plea for Woman is back in print after 150 years.	Good / V Good 1988 ISBN: 0-948275-56-1

	Yvonne,	Can there ever be fair play between the sexes? Are men now second class citizens? Do they have fresh reason in the 1990s for being mad about women? British journalist Yvonne Roberts challenges writers such as Neil Lyndon who argue that feminism has posioned relations between the sexes, emasculated men and stole their children. She takes up where Susan Faludi's 'Backlash' left off and argues with passion and wit that while feminism has had setbacks, some self-inflicted, it remains the major transforming force of the century. Drawing on interviews throughout Britain, she presses for a new alliance between women and with men, and a re-vitalised agenda: an agenda that challenges head-on a society which tramples on the poor and disenfranchised and equates 'success' with workaholism and female liberation with working a sixteen-hour day.

	ROWBOTHAM.	WOMEN, RESISTANCE AND REVOLUTION.	Pelican	£3.00
	Sheila,	In Women, Resistance and Revolution Sheila Rowbotham has produced a wide-ranging survey of the roots of inequality and of the long but sporadic struggle to overcome it. Her narrative extends from the seventeenth century to present day Vietnam, showing how certain women have struggled, in both revolutionary and repressive situations, to achieve liveration. Revolutionary thought has been slow to accept the validity of feminism, regarding it as a limiting and reformist movement which can only distract from the main area of struggle. Sheila Rowbotham here forces a re-evaluation of the relationship between women's liberation and the revolutionary left. Her book is one in which, as she says, 'feminism and Marxism come home to roost. they cohabit in the same space somewhat uneasily... They are at once incompatible and in real need of each other'.

Here Sheila Rowbotham, author of Women, Resistance and Revolution, adds her voice to the cause of women's liberation. In Part One she examines the development of the new feminist consciousness and describes the social changes that have triggered off its growth. In Part Two she focusses her attention on women within the capitalist state and discusses the part they play in maintaining commodity production - showing how the family and sexuality at once reflect and influence other aspects of social and economic life.

Dear Clare... is the selection of those letters - moving, supportive, abusive, funny - on a variety of themes, from rape to breastfeeding. the voices of newspaper barons, feminists, pornographers, politicians have already been heard in the debate.

Here are essays that give a powerful voice to the experiences of all women, yet are at the same time an intimate portrait of Gloria Steinem herself. In her profiles of famous women, she uncovers the real person behind the Jackie Onassis's media image... and shows, in a shocking piece on Linda Lovelace, how lethal pornography is to women. Whether it's searing observations or hilarious satire, as in "If men could menstruate", there is no subject in this stirring, important book that Gloria Steinem does not make newly fresh and vital for us all.

'Appeal of one-halp the human race, WOmen, against the pretensions of the other half, Men, to retain them in political, and thence in civil and domestic slavery'. This passionate summons to 'Women... wherever ye breathe degraded - awake!' was written in 1825. Willian Thompson described the Appeal as 'the joint property' of himself and Anna Wheeler, and parts of it as the exclusive product of her 'mind and pen' for, as he wrote, although he had thought much about 'the inequalities of sexual laws', it was she who suffered from them The Appeal was provoked by James Mill's cryptic dismissal of political representation for women. Thompson, in responding, decried woman's reduction to 'involuntry breeding and household slave', and called upon men to throw off the 'tattered cloak' of male despotism. Today. more than a century and a half after its original publication, the Appeal remains a landmark in the history of both women's movement and of socialist thought.   (1st Published in 1825)	Fair Ex-library. 1983         ISBN: 0 86068 450 4

In five powerful extended essays, ELizabeth Wurtzel links the lives of women as demanding and disparate as Sylvia Plath, Hillary Clinton and Nicole Brown Simpson. Wurtzel gives voice to those women whose lives have been misunderstood, who have been dismissed for their beauty, their madness, their youth. She finds in the story of Amy Fisher the tragic plight of all Lolitas, our thirst for their brief and intense flame. She connects Margaux Hemingway's tragic suicide to those of Edie Sedgwickk and Marilyn Monroe, women whose eauty was an end, ultimately, in itself. Wurtzel takes to task the double standard imposed on women, the cultural insistence on goodness and society's complete obsession with badness: what's a girl to do? Bitch is the most searing feminist critique of contemporary gender relations to appear in the 1990s.	V Good / Mint 1998   ISBN: 0-7043-8068-4 £2.50 P&P (UK)
