This new book integrates material drawn from a variety of sources -feminist theory, cultural and literary analysis, sociology and arthistory - in an original discussion of women's relationship tomodern and post-modern culture.
The essays in the book challenge the continuing separation ofsociological from textual analysis in cultural (and feminist)theory and enquiry. They address critically the question of women'swriting, exploring the idea that women may begin to define theirown lives and construct their identities in a patriarchal culturethrough the very process of writing. They also present a cogentdefence of a feminist cultural politics, including a politics ofthe body.
