AltaMira Press,U.S. The Natural Superiority of Women
Book SynopsisAmong the central issues of the modern feminist movement, the debate over biology and culture over sex and gender, over genetics and gender roles has certainly been one of the most passionately contested. Making revolutionary arguments upon its first publication in 1953, The Natural Superiority of Women stands as one of the original feminist arguments against biological determinism. An iconoclast, Montagu wielded his encyclopedic knowledge of physical anthropology in critique of the conventional wisdom of women as the weaker sex, showing how women''s biological, genetic, and physical makeup made her not only man''s equal, but his superior. Also a humanist, Montagu points to the emotional and social qualities typically ascribed to and devalued in women as being key to just social life and relationships. Subsequent editions of this book have provided additional support for Montagu''s arguments, examining both biological and social scientific data of the late 20th century. One of the most broadly renowned and read scholars of our century, Montagu brings out this fifth edition with up-to-date statistics and references. A lengthy foreword by Susan Sperling contextualizes the book within the intellectual histories of feminism and anthropology, noting the huge social and intellectual changes that are spanned in Montagu''s life and writing. Montagu''s foundational book is an important addition to the library of all gender scholars.Trade ReviewThis 1999 fifth edition contains significant new material compared to the previous 1992 release, and includes Montagu's new preface, an insightful introduction by Susan Sperling which explains Montagu's ideas in the context of current feminist theory....The noble ideas in this work will provide insight, courage and inspiration. The Natural Superiority of Women will help every thinking man to better appreciate the true essence of women, and help every woman to gain the vision and confidence to fulfill herself, nurture her family, stand up for her rights and make the world a better—a more equal and a more loving—place to live. -- Michael Pastore * Midwest Book Review *Reading this book is a journal of discovery as Montagu sheds light on so many myths and customs that societies take for granted, including women. -- Fran Hoskens, Editor * Women's International Network News *Table of Contentschapter 1 Foreword by Susan Sperling chapter 2 Preface to the First Edition chapter 3 Preface to the Fifth Edition chapter 4 A Note to the Reader chapter 5 Chapter 1: The Natural Superiority of Women chapter 6 Chapter 2: The Subjection of Women chapter 7 Chapter 3: The Social Determinants of Biological "Facts" & Social Consequences chapter 8 Chapter 4: Who Said, "The Inferior Sex"? chapter 9 Chapter 5:"X" Doesn't Equal "Y" chapter 10 Chapter 6: The Sexual Superiority of the Female chapter 11 Chapter 7: Are Women More Emotional Than Men? chapter 12 Chapter 8: Was It True About Women? chapter 13 Chapter 9: The Intelligence of the Sexes chapter 14 Chapter 10: Women and Creativity chapter 15 Chapter 11:The Genius of Woman as the Genius of Humanity chapter 16 Chapter 12: Mutual Aid chapter 17 Chapter 13: Changing Traditions chapter 18 Chapter 14: Woman's Task chapter 19 Appendix A: U.N.

AltaMira Press Women According to Men The World of TudorStuart
Book SynopsisWhat was it like to be a woman when England was ruled by a queen, but women had almost no legal power? When marriage cost women their property rights? In other words, what was it like to be a woman in England between 1525 and 1675? This book answers these questions and looks at how women were described, and prescribed to act, by men.Trade ReviewSuzanne Hull notes in her preface that the goal of this book is to provide an introduction to the world of English women during the period between 1525 and 1675 as represented in publications of this same time period that were authored by men.

While this book is very suitable for use in undergraduate level instruction, it is valuable to scholars in early modern European Women's Studies and Tudor-Stuart English history as well. -- Joseph S.

Rowman & Littlefield Nothing to Tell
Book SynopsisSitting at the kitchen tables of twelve women in their eighties who were born in or immigrated to Montana in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, between 1982 and 1988 oral historian Donna Gray conducted interviews that reveal a rich heritage. In retelling their life stories, Gray steps aside and allows theses women with supposedly nothing to tell to speak for themselves. Pride, nostalgia, and triumph fill a dozen hearts as they realize how remarkable their lives have been and wonder how they did it all. Some of these women grew up in Montana in one-bedroom houses; others traveled in covered wagons before finding a home and falling in love with Montana. These raw accounts bring to life the childhood memories and adulthood experiences of ranch wives who were not afraid to milk a cow or bake in a wooden stove. From raising poultry to raising a family, these women knew the meaning of hard work. Several faced the hardships of family illness, poverty, and early widowhood.

Jason Aronson, Inc. A Story of Her Own
Book SynopsisA Story of Her Own is a reformulation of the psychoanalytic concept of the female oedipal complexa term that encompasses the triangular development phase and the important conflicts and experiences in girls and women. Inspired by the mythic role in human experience and in the unique aspects of femininity, Nancy Kulish and Deanna Holtzman formulate a new nameThe Persephone Complexfor this concept. They integrate traditional psychoanalytic theory, contemporary theories and data about female development and psychology, and clinical experience with female patients into a comprehensive theory that is not based on male models. With accumulated knowledge from their clinical work, they present new psychoanalytic and therapeutic perspectives on the experience of girls and women attempting to uncover a sense of agency in their lives. They touch upon the unique ways women cope with their sexuality and feelings about their bodies; with feelings of anger, competition, and jealousy; and with theTrade ReviewThe authors' ideas are both compelling and nuanced, reflecting an enlightened contemporary structural approach informed by gender and feminist, object relational, and intersubjective perspectives. there is fascinating material as well on the meaning and role of language, myth, and metaphor. Their review of the vast literature on female psychology is clear and systematic. the book contains much that will be of immediate practical value to the practicing clinician, demonstrating from multiple angles how the authors apply their ideas in helping their patients nurture and liberate their passion, pride and authority as women. Abundant and detailed clinical material illustrates such things as the interplay in women's lives between dyadic and triadic, separation and individuation, and family and work, as well as the special problems common to all women's lives, such as female aggression, shame, guilt, and issues with their female bodily life and sexuality. All clinicians, be they men or women, will find especially useful the extensive material on the common countertransference problems that arise in the treatment of women patients and the egosyntonic theoretical beliefs that contribute to these problems. -- Gerald I. Fogel, M.D., training and supervising analyst, former director and founding member, Oregon Psychoanalytic InstituteA vital shift in psychoanalytic theories of female development is proposed in a highly engaging, as wel as scholarly discourse. Drs. Kulish and Holtzman offer a compelling argument for the use of the term, 'the Persephone Complex.' This has deep and far-reaching implications for understanding the mother-daughter relationship in the developmental stage of traingulation and its psychological legacy into adult life. Kulish and Holtzman's authority, the depth and contextualization of their research, detailed literature reviews and vivid clinical examples, contribute to an impressive, inspiring and innovative contribution to psychoanalytic literature in a post-feminist era. 'The Persephone Complex' is likely to become an accepted addition to the lexicon of psychoanalysis. I highly recommend this book to all who value the continued life of psychoanalytic thinking. -- Joy Schaverien, Ph.D., Jungian psychoanalyst in private practice, UK; member, the International Association of Analytical Psychology; author, Desire anAn encyclopedic critique and synthesis of the relevant psychoanalytic literature, A Story of Her Own is a remarkable contribution to the psychoanalytic understanding of the female personality. These distinguished psychoanalysts propose a major revision of the theory of female development. Traditional concepts of the female Oedipus complex are replaced with a new model of the firls' triangular situation, the myth of Persephone instead of Oedipus. the female Persephone vividly depicts the cyclicalfemale experience, encompassing pregnancy, birth, rebirth, and death, as well as bisexuality. Persephone balances loyalties and relationships to both parents, a rival for father's love, while retaining her mother's love and love of her mother. Drawingupon psychoanalytic practice, Nancy Kulish and Deanna Holtzman further enrich our knowledge integrating interdisciplinary studies of mythology, ethnology, literature, and art. Elucidating and challenging traditional formulations, they provide fascinating and original ideas, rewarding for all analytically oriented readers. -- Harold P. Blum, M.D., training analyst and clinical professor of psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine; executive director, Sigmund FreudWriting with great clarity and accessibility, Kulish and Holtzman neatly synthesize a century of psychoanalytic thought on female psychosexuality. The authors challenge and rework accepted theory as they interweave fairytale, folklore, and myth, including the delightful Baubo figure lifting her skirts. A welcome focus on the female body and sexual pleasure, the book presents 'a female story' of love, loss, sexuality, jealousy and competition. -- Dianne Elise, Ph.D., associate editor, Studies in Gender & SexualityThis book offers a helpful updating. * PsycCRITIQUES *The place of the formerly so-called "Oedipal complex" for females is brilliantly clarified here. These authors' work has culminated in this welcome integration, as they find the maintenance of Oedipus both vexed and tangential to a more telling emotional portrait of how females developmentally enter object triangulation. Along the path to the authors' preferred "Persephonal complex," the reader is treated to scholarly and persuasive arguments founded on comprehensive considerations of others' papers in the field; a wise appreciation of the role of myths in the psyche, unconscious meanings, sex, aggression, language, history and culture. This trenchant presentation ought necessarily to upset psychoanalysts' familiar, favorite but limiting tropes. The reward is a new vision revealing the clinical plentitide and complexity of a mother's relation to her daughter as well as a father's. The book is a well-realized patient updating of the core of Freud's legacy. Psychoanalysts and academics should take these proposals to heart. -- Rosemary H.

Crown A Year by the Sea Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman
Book SynopsisThe basis for the major motion picture of the same name. An entrancing memoir of how one woman's journey of self-discovery gave her the courage to persevere in re-creating her life. Life is a work in progress, as ever-changing as a sandy shoreline along the beach. During the years Joan Anderson was a loving wife and supportive mother, she had slowly and unconsciously replaced her own dreams with the needs of her family.
