This new book integrates material drawn from a variety of sources –
feminist theory, cultural and literary analysis, sociology and art
history – in an original discussion of women’s relationship to
modern and post-modern culture.
The essays in the book challenge the continuing separation of
sociological from textual analysis in cultural (and feminist)
theory and enquiry. They address critically the question of women’s
writing, exploring the idea that women may begin to define their
own lives and construct their identities in a patriarchal culture
through the very process of writing. They also present a cogent
defence of a feminist cultural politics, including a politics of
the body.
