Women Creating Lives: Identities, Resilience, And Resistance

This collection of case studies shows how women's psychological lives unfold across the broad spectrum of experience. The contributors study women from many backgrounds - old and young, rich and poor, heterosexual and lesbian, and from various races - in the context of their individual circumstances, to reveal the psychological complexities that are unique to each one, and at the same time the relationship between psychological development and gender. The book provides a window on the world of those who have struggled to enter traditionally male domains such as medicine, together with those who have suffered bereavement, sexual abuse or political turmoil. The relationship between two lesbian priests is explored and the study of two black activists' political involvement shows how a sense of community can reinforce the changing image of the self.

In the past two decades, feminist scholars have produced an abundance of theoretical writing in humanities and social science disciplines. The result is a body of work that is extraordinarily rich, and hard to keep up with. This revised and updated second edition of Theorizing Feminism: Parallel Trends in the Humanities and Social Sciences, a genuinely interdisciplinary anthology of significant contributions to feminist theory, most definitely does justice to a subject that has, in the past, been extremely difficult for professors to teach. This timely reader is creatively edited, and contains insightful introductory material. It illuminates the historical development of feminist theory as well as the current state of the field. Emphasizing common themes and interests in the humanities and social sciences, the editors have chosen topics that remain relevant to current debates, reflect the interests of a diverse community of thinkers, and have been central to feminist theory in many disciplines.The contributors include leading figures from the fields of psychology, literary criticism, sociology, philosophy, anthropology, art history, law, and economics. This is the ideal text for any advanced course on interdisciplinary feminist theory, one that fills a long-standing gap in feminist pedagogy.
