Talking Gender assesses the state of women’s studies in the 1990s. The contributors write from the perspective of their own academic disciplines and experiences, but they also address more general issues of women’s lives and circumstances. The result is a broad picture of women’s studies and feminist scholarship, which emerge as a rich, if sometimes dissonant, chorus of voices. These original essays cover a range of topics and a variety of times and places: images of women inherited from Roman oratory, visual images from cultures of trauma; verbal imagery in today’s pornography debates; political and social identities in the state of Israel; boundaries between private and public lives of African American women leaders; voices and audiences of African American women writers; stereotypes of HIV-positive women; what women’s studies can teach men about themselves; and the place of women in global industry. The introduction and conclusion place the collection within the context of historical debates in women’s studies and suggest some new directions for the field. The contributors: Cynthia Enloe (Clark University) Sara M. Evans (University of Minnesota) Kathy E. Ferguson (University of Hawai’i at Manoa) Karla F. C. Holloway (Duke University) Michael S. Kimmel (SUNY-Stony Brook) Mandy Merck (London) Barbara Ogur (Cambridge Neighborhood Health Centers) Amy Richlin (University of Southern California) Kristine Stiles (Duke University) Deborah Gray White (Rutgers University).Originally published in 1996.A UNC Press Enduring Edition — UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

  • Crossing the catwalk
    Laura Cherrie Beaney
    In the 1930s, Freud observed that 'when you meet a human being, the first distinction you make is ’male or female?’ and you are accustomed to make the distinction with unhesitating certainty.' As Freud suggests, society is divisible by gender. We are taken to be either 'male' or 'female.' This notion seems to be fixed within our culture and is often unquestioned. In this dynami...
