在《图绘女性主义与文化交往地理学》这本充满张力的作品中，苏珊·弗里德曼挽救女性主义于我们/他者、白人/他者、第一世界/第三世界，以及迫害者/被迫害者双双对立、互相驳斥的陈腐窠臼之中。通览全书，弗里德曼运用当今全球化与跨国研究、人类学研究和地理学研究中的文化理论，挑战人们往往过于夸大的性别、种族、族群、性征、阶级和国别界限。作者推崇跨国与多元的女性主义，以取代基于差别而不断衍生的各种女性主义，她提倡女性主义者提高地缘政治素养，以此超过基要主义身份的政治学与绝对主义后结构主义理论。此外她也呼吁读者们去关注对差异进行协商和转换的地点。

Written over a span of more than two decades, the essays by Iris Marion Young collected in this volume describe diverse aspects of women's lived body experience in modern Western societies. Drawing on the ideas of several twentieth century continental philosophers--including Simone de Beauvoir, Martin Heidegger, Luce Irigaray, Julia Kristeva, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty--Young constructs rigorous analytic categories for interpreting embodied subjectivity. The essays combine theoretical description of experience with normative evaluation of the unjust constraints on their freedom and opportunity that continue to burden many women. The lead essay rethinks the purpose of the category of "gender" for feminist theory, after important debates have questioned its usefulness. Young's classic essay, "Throwing Like a Girl," is reprinted here, along with a comment of the impact of that essay twenty years later. Newer essays include reflection on the meaning of being at home, and the need for privacy in old age residences. Other essays analyze aspects of the experience of women and girls that have received little attention even in feminist theory--such as the sexuality of breasts, or menstruation as punctuation in a woman's life story. Young describes the phenomenology of moving in a pregnant body and the tactile pleasures of clothing. While academically rigorous, the essays are also written with engaging style, incorporating vivid imagery and autobiographical narrative. On Female Body Experience raises issues and takes positions that speak to scholars and students in philosophy, sociology, geography, medicine, nursing, and education.

The Gender Knot, Allan Johnson's response to the pain and confusion that men and women experience by living with gender inequality, explains what patriarchy is and isn't, how it works, and what gets in the way of understanding and doing something about it. Johnson's simple yet powerful approach avoids the paralyzing trap of guilt, blame, anger, and defensive denial that often results from conversations about gender. This edition features: • Updated references, data, resources, and examples, especially in relation to issues of sexual orientation and gender identity (e.g., gay marriage, transgender/cisgender) • A glossary of terms • A new chapter, "What Changes and What Does Not: Manhood and Violence," that provides an extended analysis of the causes of men's violence as a patriarchal phenomenon

Since its publication in 1990, Gender Trouble has become one of the key works of contemporary feminist theory, and an essential work for anyone interested in the study of gender, queer theory, or the politics of sexuality in culture. This is the text where Judith Butler began to advance the ideas that would go on to take life as "performativity theory," as well as some of the first articulations of the possibility for subversive gender practices, and she writes in her preface to the 10th anniversary edition released in 1999 that one point of Gender Trouble was "not to prescribe a new gendered way of life [...] but to open up the field of possibility for gender [...]" Widely taught, and widely debated, Gender Trouble continues to offer a powerful critique of heteronormativity and of the function of gender in the modern world.

As we watch another agonizing attempt to shift the future of health care in the United States, we are reminded of the longevity of this crisis, and how firmly entrenched we are in a system that doesn't work. Witches, Midwives, and Nurses, first published by The Feminist Press in 1973, is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunters. In this new edition, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English have written an entirely new chapter that delves into the current fascination with and controversies about witches, exposing our fears and fantasies. They build on their classic expose on the demonization of women healers and the political and economic monopolization of medicine. This quick history brings us up-to-date, exploring today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches. Barbara Ehrenreich is author of the New York Times bestsellers Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch, and, most recently, This Land is Their Land. Deirdre English, the former editor of Mother Jones, is a professor in the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.

Caliban and the Witch is a history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages to the witch hunts and the rise of mechanical philosophy, Federici investigates the capitalist rationalization of social reproduction. She shows how the struggle against the rebel body and the conflict between body and mind are essential conditions for the development of labor power and self-ownership, two central principles of modern social organization.

当简•爱和罗切斯特跨越身份地位的差异，终于站在神父面前要宣誓结合时，一个疯女人的出现粉碎了简•爱的一切梦想，这个疯女人就是罗切斯特的妻子——伯莎。这个疯女人毁掉了庄园，弄瞎了罗切斯特，自己也葬身火海，但也因此成全了简•爱与罗切斯特的姻缘。 本书问世前，大多数读者对伯莎这 个疯女人并不太重视，自从有了本书，人们忽而重新发现了一个类别。这些疯女人公然无视“妇道”，花枝招展、野心勃勃、作恶多端、自取灭亡……但本书作者桑德拉•吉尔伯特和苏珊•古芭告诉我们，每个温顺善良的女人背后，都或多或少拖着一个癫狂的影子。她们将这个疯女人从阁楼上请下来，就是为了抨击父权主义文化对女性的精神束缚。 《阁楼上的疯女人》被誉为20世纪女性主义文学批评的《圣经》，也是当代美国文论中的经典。在这部著作中，作者重读了19世纪著名女作家如简•奥斯汀、玛丽•雪莱、勃朗特姐妹、艾米莉•狄金森等人的作品，打破了民族、地域与时间等多方面限制的疆界，将19世纪的英美女性文学视为一个整体进行了综合研究，梳理并归纳了构成19世纪英美女性文学传统中一系列重要的意象、象征与隐喻，如天使、魔鬼、月光、水、面纱、蛛网等等。 此书自问世以来，以其激进的批评姿态和对19世纪英美女性文学的全新阐释，对西方文学与文化研究产生了深远的影响。

“过去50年来，在世界范围内遭到杀害的女孩，比整个20世纪死于所有战争的男性还要多。仅仅因为她们的性别。” 在普利策新闻奖得主尼可拉斯·D.克里斯多夫和雪莉·邓恩夫妇这对有丰富联合报道经验的记者伉俪的带领下，我们在本书中去亚非拉国家做了一次长途冒险旅行。在那里，我们看到性别歧视、性暴力、厌女价值观、家庭暴力、处女情结等现象，让女性犹如仍置身在18、19世纪的炼狱。我们也看到那里的女性进行了艰苦卓绝的抗争，以及如何一点小小的帮助就能改变她们的命运。 通过这些故事，作者向我们展示了女性的生存困境，整个世界对此困境的态度，以及女性身上自我觉醒的力量。她们将绝望化为希望，勇敢争取生命尊严。 本书以人物故事为线索，佐以大量的数据，没有局限于对女性遭遇的报道，还展示了社会、经济、文化、心理等多维度的思考。同时，本书也为那些想为世界尽一份力的人们提供了切实可行的参考。

《第二性I》副标题为“事实与神话”，作者从生物学、精神分析学和历史唯物主义关于女性的观点出发，剖析女人变成“他者”的原因；随后，通过对人类历史的梳理，深刻地揭示了从原始社会到现今女性的命运；最后，本书以蒙泰朗、劳伦斯、克洛岱尔、布勒东和司汤达五位著名作家为例，对男性制造的“女性神话”进行分析，探讨男人眼中的女性形象及其体现的思想。
