Beskrivelse
First published in 2006. Women Take Issue draws on collective and individual research by members of the Women’s Studies Group at the Centre. It concentrates on the problems of analysing women’s subordination in Britain.The book opens with a retrospective article which comes to grips with the problem of doing feminist intellectual work through the experience of the Women’s Studies Group. This is followed by an analysis of some aspects of the early women’s movement. In the third section economic approaches to the basis of women’s oppression are examined for their usefulness and limitations.
The second half of the book includes articles on:
The culture of teenage girls
Young working class women at home
Woman - the problem of femininity as constructed in this magazine
Women’s reproductive role through class and history
Anthropology
Women, kinship structures and family.
This combination of theoretical work and contemporary case studies engages constructively with the traditions of cultural analysis from a feminist perspective, and contributes to the study of women’s situation in Britain.
