Footnote Press Ltd Twelve Feminist Lessons of War
Book Synopsis'Cynthia Enloe is a force to be reckoned with and utterly tireless. Her work has long spanned intersectional analyses of gender, race and class...she repeatedly questions which things society pays attention to and which we consider insignificant. She is an inspiration.' Laura Bates'A triumph' Chatham HouseTwelve Feminist Lessons of War draws on sharp insights of women as survivors, activists and scholars from Ukraine to Sudan and Myanmar to show how diverse women's experiences of war must be taken seriously if we are to prevent and shorten wars and make gender justice central to recovering from wars.Women's wars are not men's wars. Wartime shapes the gendered politics of marriage, prostitution, journalism, economics, childcare, domestic violence and rape. Enloe's razor-sharp analysis highlights how understanding this can prevent wars and even end them.With fresh, fierce and vital thinking, she shows that by paying more attention to the wounded and the women who care for them, we will be more realistic about the long 'post-war'; and that by listening to feminists on the ground, in Ukraine and elsewhere, we will better understand what is happening to our world.Cynthia is one of only 100 women named on the Gender Justice Wall in The Hague.Trade Review'This book's lessons are not about waging war better. This is a book about holding accountable those who rape, exploit and abuse women in wartime. It's about the pain of losing lovers, family and home. It is also about creating societies where peace can be sustained and where men and women can flourish without the plague of old patriarchal ways of exercising power. Cynthia Enloe is one of most inspiring and brilliant feminist thinkers of our time. Her penetrating insights, humanity and wisdom make this book an essential tutorial for now - before we reduce the world to rubble.' -- Baroness Helena Kennedy of the Shaws KC, Member of the Legal Task Force on Accountability for Crimes Committed in Ukraine'In difficult times we need to be reminded of how resilient, brave, creative and determined we are as feminists. Cynthia beautifully takes us through the lessons we have learnt, and are still learning, exposing, as she always does, the machinations of patriarchy and how we seek to undo it. Real solidarity, sustained curiosity - and stamina! She gives us hope that while there will be more lessons, if we believe strongly enough then the last one will be short and entitled: 'We did it!'.' -- Madeleine Rees'Cynthia Enloe marshalls wide-ranging rigorous research with incisive insights and meticulous, astute analysis in her Twelve Feminist Lessons of War. This book distils decades of Professor Enloe's research and thinking on war and militarism through a feminist lens and presents them in a compelling and accessible way. This is a book that is urgent and necessary for any and all of us concerned about the state of the world and the deep-rooted reasons that have led us here.' -- Sunny Singh, author'In her usual straightforward, thoughtful, and passionate way, Cynthia Enloe has once again reminded us about the importance of feminism to the study of war, violence and peacebuilding in today's complex world. This is an unputdownable book for those who are concerned about the consequences of war and peace.' -- Shirin M. Rai, Distinguished Research Professor, Department of Politics and International Studies, SOAS, University of London'No-one has studied the subject of women and war with as much originality and scrupulous attention to detail as Cynthia Enloe. Examining every aspect of women's engagement with combat - as soldiers, citizens, mothers, activists, diplomats - Enloe focuses relentlessly on women's lived experience of some of the bloodiest conflicts of our time, including Russian's recent invasion of Ukraine. Read this book and you will never think of war in the same way again.' -- Melissa Benn, writer and campaigner'Once again Cynthia Enloe makes plain as day what should, but isn't, obvious to anyone who cares about war and conflict, namely that without a feminist lens we can never break out of the vicious cycles of violence that have held our culture in thrall for millennia. I am so grateful for Enloe's clarity of vision and moral compass. We are all so much richer for her long and storied work.' -- Abigail E. Disney, filmmaker, activist and philanthropist'There is no one comparable to Cynthia Enloe when it comes to writing from the heart as she delves into the everyday survival of women affected by war. And no one covers this subject in the inimitable way that she does, documenting victimisation that women experience while also making space for enduring forms of resistance.' -- Marsha Henry, Associate Professor, Department of Gender Studies, London School of Economics'By methodically deconstructing the dominant narratives on war and by urging us to not forget what will come after, Cynthia Enloe draws out a powerful feminist framing of war, much needed at this time of history.' -- Ruri Ito, Professor emerita, Hitotsubashi University, Tokyo'This book is a testimony to Cynthia's extraordinary ability to lovingly, carefully, and insightfully document some of the most difficult lessons feminists have learnt during countless struggles for peace, equality, and justice. She documents not to judge any of the choices made but to bring to light the importance of our collective body of feminist knowledge and experience so that, as we move forward, we know where we came from.' -- Nela Porobic, feminist and peace activist, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom'With incredible historical breadth and depth of analysis - Cynthia Enloe takes us on a worldwide exploration of the gendered dynamics of militarisation and the gendered causes and consequences of war. As this inspirational book powerfully argues, staying curious about women's (and men's) lives means we are more realistic about war and the causes of war. And as Enloe concludes, feminist lessons are for everyone and 'kindling to fuel a fire of thinking'.' -- Daniel Conway, Reader in Politics and International Relations at the University of Westminster'If you had to choose one book from Cynthia Enloe's vast collection, read Twelve Feminist Lessons of War. It's comprehensive, probing and hard-hitting with the finest feminist analysis, and written in a thoughtful and accessible way to guide the reader at every stage of their understanding of militarism and war. As someone who is deeply embedded in feminist peacebuilding work, Enloe's twelve lessons are worth reading and re-reading.' -- Christine Ahn, Founder and Executive Director, Women Cross DMZCynthia Enloe is an adventurer, an intellectual with a light touch and inveterate 'feminist curiosity'. She shows how thinking about gender, the renewal of patriarchy and women's resistance is vital to making sense of the world. It is a joy to travel with her. -- Beatrix Campbell

Little, Brown Book Group Living Dolls: The Return of Sexism
Book SynopsisI once believed that we only had to put in place the conditions for equality for the remnants of old-fashioned sexism in our culture to wither away. I am ready to admit that I was wrong.'Empowerment, liberation, choice.

Oneworld Publications Nazira Zeineddine: A Pioneer of Islamic Feminism
Book SynopsisIn 1928, a young Lebanese woman, Nazira Zeineddine al-Halabi, wrote a book called "Unveiling and Veiling", an indictment of patriarchal oppression in which she boldly stated that the veil was un-Islamic, directly challenging the teachings of wiser" male scholars. Considered by many an attack on Islam, it rocked the Muslim world and was banned by many clerics, although it quickly went into a second edition and was translated into several languages. In this latest addition to Makers of the Muslim World series, Miriam Cooke offers an intimate portrait of the life and work of this pioneering champion of Islamic feminism.Table of ContentsIllustrations Maps Preface Acknowledgements PART I 1 Early Arab Feminisms 2 The Twilight of the Ottomans 3 Islamic Lessons 4 Religious Interlocutors 5 The Book 6 “The Girl” Writes Back 7 What Went Wrong?

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Unspeakable Subjects: Feminist Essays in Legal
Book SynopsisNicola Lacey's book presents a feminist critique of law based on an analysis of the ways in which the very structure or method of modern law is gendered. All of the essays in the book therefore engage at some level with the question of whether there are things of a general nature to be said about what might be called the sex or gender of law. Ranging across fields including criminal law,public law and anti-discrimination law, the essays examine the conceptual framework of modern legal practices: the legal conception of the subject as an individual; the concepts of equality, freedom, justice and rights; and the legal construction of public and private realms and of the relations between individual, state and community. They also reflect upon the deployment of law as a means of furthering feminist ethical and political values. At a more general level, the essays contemplate the relationship between feminist and other critical approaches to legal theory; the relationship between the ideas underlying feminist legal theory and those informing contemporary developments in social and political theory; and the nature of the relationship between feminist legal theories and feminist legal politics. The essays in this book tell the story of an intellectual journey which has led the author to question some of the central assumptions of traditional legal education and scholarship. They also set out a distinctive vision of jurisprudence as a form of critical social theory.Trade ReviewThis collection of essays brings together work of a leading figure within feminist legal thought and provides an excellent example of the particular contribution of feminism to analysis of the legal system. The essays engage with, respond to and develop a variety of feminist perspectives upon law and demonstrate the enormous, challenging and exciting task ahead for feminist legal theorists. Jo Bridgeman Modern Law Review September 2002 Lacey exemplifies the best characteristics of British academic writing, namely, a sincere attempt to convey complex positions and arguments as clearly as possible and an uncompromising honesty about her own work which means that her critical gaze is as much directed at her own views as at others.

Penned in the Margins Darling, It's Me
Book SynopsisFiery, feminist and funny, Darling, It’s Me is the first collection by Norwich-based writer and academic Alison Winch. Winch combines refreshing explorations of marriage and motherhood with re-imaginings of Chaucer’s Wife of Bath and rebuttals to the 'great' (male) philosophers of the Enlightenment. Fusing philosophical interrogation with humour and pop cultural resonances, Darling, It’s Me plots new ground for confessional poetry.; "One of the cleverest, filthiest, most incendiary debuts I’ve ever read." CLARE POLLARDTrade Review‘One of the cleverest, filthiest, most incendiary debuts I’ve ever read.’ CLARE POLLARD ; 'From the moment you enter the world of this book, where quym, trollop and coquillard share the pages with burpees, the 29 bus and egg tagliatelle, you’ll find yourself being tossed between apparent reality and nightmare hallucination. These precise and musical poems emerge in controlled bursts, reverberating up and down the centuries to create a soundscape of rage and furious imagination moderated by intellectual rigour. Think Anne Sexton coupled with Geoffrey Chaucer going heavy on the gas and air. A visceral, glorious and liberating attack on gender roles and the constraints of patriarchy.' Jacqueline Saphra ; 'Winch's tools are tone, register, lexicon, and knowledge, she uses them powerfully. This is great work. The solidarity of the sisterhood is alive and it spans the centuries.' Katy Evans-Bush, Poetry London ; 'Powerful and clever poems ... an utterly unique voice, witty, outrageous, and subversive.' Chris Cusack, Indierecs ; 'Winch always rips the cosy fluff of literary convention from her material. Linguistic bravura bubbles up like an inexhaustibly subversive underground spring.'

The Westbourne Press The Public Woman
Book SynopsisHow are women supposed to make sense of the world today? Women have never had more freedom - yet questions of inequality persist from the bedroom to the boardroom. A quarter of a century after the publication of her seminal text, Misogynies, Joan Smith looks at what women have achieved - and the price they've paid for it. From spiteful media campaigns and a justice system that allows rapists to go free, to domestic violence, 'honour crimes' and sex-trafficking, Smith shows that womanhating has assumed new and sinister forms. Smith celebrates the fact that the female eunuch has become the public woman, but argues that we're living in an increasingly hostile world. A call to arms, The Public Woman sets out what we're up against - and how to fight back.Trade Review"Joan Smith dares to expose woman-hating in all its forms. She does not shy away from naming religion and cultural relativism as barriers to liberation, and names men and the system of patriarchy as the problem. Read this book, not least because it will open your eyes to how much needs to be done before we consign male supremacy to the museum of ancient relics."

The Emma Press Paisley
Book SynopsisRakhshan Rizwan's debut collection simmers with a poised, driving anger. Drawing on the rich visual and material culture of her home region, Rizwan unpacks and offers critical comment on the vexed issues of class, linguistic and cultural identity – particularly for women – in the context of Pakistan and South Asia. She writes about the hypocrisy of the men who claim to worship women, the nuances of using Urdu or Hindi, and the many contradictions of the city of her birth, Lahore. As well as startling free verse, Rizwan's many accomplished ghazals both explore and demonstrate her fascination with multilingualism, code-switching, displacement and belonging. The poems in Paisley are an unflinchingly feminist assault on received ideas about womanhood which present the reader with often-uncomfortable truths.Trade Review"A striking debut collection which evokes the rich culture and history of Rizwan’s native Lahore. Themes of belonging, migration and displacement abound, as Rizwan examines the split linguistic self of the migrant: “My voice is the mirror that breaks in Urdu”. The patterns of her homeland are ever-present: “in a new country, let us dream of different paisleys”. Combining free verse and complex ghazals, this is a powerful exploration of the role of women in Pakistan and beyond." - Poetry Book Society, Winter Bulletin 2017 -- Poetry Book Society"The collection as a whole, however, is a serious instigator of thought. It will certainly appeal to a Western audience so that they can see what integration means to those that that they want to integrate and what kinds of things their ethnic minority brothers and sisters from the Sub-Continent are experiencing and thinking about." Suneel Mehmi, Contemporary Small Press * Contemporary Small Press *"...this young poet is not afraid to do her own bit of undigging. In her title poem, she uses a ghazal form in which every couplet rhymes ‘paisley’ with ‘paisley’. The word is repeated so many times that all shreds of former association disappear in a furious blizzard of repetition. There is fierce energy here, and uncompromising intensity. I see the paisley symbol for the first time in my life. " * Sphinx Reviews *The physical shape (and taste) of language, as well as its abstract resonances, takes on a new significance. This is seen perhaps most clearly in Rizwan’s assured use of the ghazal in poems such as ‘Urdu/ Hindi’ and ‘Speech Therapy’, where the form lends itself particularly well to Paisley’s overarching dialectic. -- Phoebe Walker * Sabotage Reviews *

Lawrence & Wishart Ltd The Acceptable Face of Feminism
Book SynopsisThe British Women's Institute is more often associated with jam and Jerusalem than radical activity, but in this book Maggie Andrews explores the WI's relationship with feminism from the formation of the organisation in 1915 up to the eve of British feminism's renaissance in the late 1960s. The book aims to challenge, not only common sense perceptions about the Women's Institute but also those about feminism, interrogating preoccupations with domestic spaces and skills. This makes it is valuable reading for those interested in both historical and contemporary feminism, as well as, more broadly, the history of the twentieth century. Attention is given to the female cultural space and the value system provided by the WI, and the campaigns that articulated the needs of rural women and attempted to meet them. In this 100th anniversary year of the founding of the WI, this celebrated text is re-published in a new and completely revised edition. Maggie Andrews's new afterword considers the resurgence of interest in the WI amongst young women in the twenty-first century, and the relationship between this and the contemporary cultural enthusiasm for the domestic. There is also a new chapter on the formation of the WI in the First World War and substantial additions to existing chapters, including discussions of the WI involvement with radio in the inter-war years, and with evacuation in the Second World War.Table of ContentsIntroduction1.

September Publishing The Threat: Why Digital Capitalism is Sexist -
Book SynopsisWhy has the digital revolution been damaging for so many women? And what can be done about it? The Threat explores today's digital capitalism through the prism of the women who are harmed by it globally. Some of them are victimised through digital devices. Others are exploited while producing them. And some don't even have access to the Internet, but are brutally raped in wars funded by the minerals that make our tablets work. With the help of individuals' stories and interviews, activist and academic Dr Lilia Giugni explores how millions of women across the world are violated, exploited and marginalised due to processes of technological change. She unpacks the tight intersections between technology, patriarchy and capitalism - exposing the profit-driven market in which our digital devices are designed and built, and the patriarchal society that shapes who gets to use them and how. Above all, Lilia Giugni gives us very practical ideas to help us take back the tech: turning technology into a truly emancipatory force and a leverage to create a better and more just future for women and for all. 'A brilliant and engaging expose of how the forces of capitalism and patriarchy penetrate our digital world - and what women can do to fight back.' Hannah Jewell, author of 100 Nasty Women of History

Headline Publishing Group A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
Book SynopsisA seminal book in a feminist conversation that still continues today.Now regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, Mary Wollstonecraft's writings have inspired conversation and action since their first publication. Wollstonecraft produced this declaration of female independence in 1792. Passionate, eloquent and forthright, it launched a scathing attack on the current understanding of women and laid out the tenets for a new vision: equal education, an end to prejudice and a chance for women to become defined by their profession, not their partner. Whereas Mary Wollstonecraft's work was received at the time with a mixture of admiration and outrage, she is now rightly viewed as a powerful matriarch of modern feminism.Part of a boldly designed series of classics, with wider margins for notes, this book is perfect for design-lovers and students alike. With bold, eye-catching graphic covers by Evi O Studio, this collection aims to introduce a selection of the most celebrated works of the last thousand years to a new audience. Featuring tales of adventure, fiction from the 19th and 20th centuries, feminist writings, and reflections on art, politics, philosophy and the origins of man, this is a small, wide-reaching and essential collection.'My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures.'

The Emma Press The Strange Egg: A Symptoms Diary
Book SynopsisThe Strange Egg is a luminous gothic prose poem that delves into the mythopoeic to express injustice at the hands of abusive medical systems. A woman is faced, month after month, with the birth of a strange egg. Her doctor asks that she take notes on her symptoms, documenting black blood clots as big as pennies, winking stars in her eyes, and relentless pain. As the woman waits for aid from her doctor, she begins to have strange premonitions of what will be done to her body. The egg, meanwhile, is watchful and demanding. Impatient. Kirstie Millar’s The Strange Egg is as gorgeous as it is horrifying. Highly original, it challenges long-held beliefs that people of marginalised genders are unreliable and irrational witnesses to our own bodies.

Mittels der Raumsemantik Jurij Lotmans und der Chronotopostheorie Michael Bachtins wird die Verortung der weiblichen Figuren in einem kontrastierenden narrativen Raum ebenso erkennbar wie die binäre Geschlechtermatrix, die den Roman strukturiert.
