This book is a powerful argument that overthrows essentialist discourse in favour of gender as a performative entity. Whilst a seminal work, and in my opinion, a very important viewpoint capable of pushing the feminist movement on by lightyears, I feel that Butler's writing style does not suit the message she puts forward. For someone who's aim is to spread a message to the masses, she writes in an overly academic style. Although I appreciate that she may have needed to do this so that bodies under the influence of a partriachy may take her more seriously, it leaves this book only accesible to the highest academics. I am currently referencing this book in an argument put forward in my thesis for my masters degree and i am having great trouble ... Read More:

I found this book incredibly illuminating. I have experienced, as a young person growing up, both my parents views on sex etc and my friends- both highly contrasting. This book has helped me to understand why nowadays somethings are accepted that would have been seen in a worse light years ago.
Levy writes in an easy to read prose (unlike me) and the book works in chapters linking together different ideas. I definitely will be looking at this one again. Highly recommended!! >>More Details |

This essay on the fascinating subject of the horrifying is really worthwhile reading for fans of the mysterious and macabre, or for serious readers interested in textual and contextual problems of the genre(s). Especially her study of Dostojevskij is brilliant!

If ever there was a woman that proved C.H. Sommer's arguments irrefutably, it would be Valenti. Never have I had the severe displeasure of reading such coyly misogyny-inspiring muck since the SCUM Manifesto.
If you are a young woman looking to find out what feminism really is, then I implore you; stop taking advice from other young women and actually see feminism for what it has become. Read some of the works of Christina Hoff Sommers (and use a bit of common-sense) and you'll soon realise modern 'feminism' isn't really feminism at all. It doesn't preach equality, it preaches misandry. All that Valenti, and most other modern day 'feminists' will inspire is the hatred of women. So please, stop furthering this bile. All it will bring is the ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book is very complicated... and i guess it would be OK for those of you studying this topic in depth, however for those of you looking for a simple book don't bother.

In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women's Developmentby: Gilligan July 01, 1990 Best Selling > Books > Feminism |

This book is truly amazing. For any woman who feels she has lost clarity and fierceness and the ability to tell the truth about how she feels and what is going on in the world of feelings and relationships, the social world which she inhabits, read Gilligan's work (any of it). The book made me remember what it was to learn to be nice and quiet and feminine in order to become a 'woman' when as a girl it had been much more OK to be more forthright, and more myself. Interesting both in terms of looking at the psychology of the world of teenage girls and their lived experience, in terms of engaging with social and psychological research through an engaged methodology of relationship which disturbs the usual authoritarian role of researchers, and in terms of the real and ...

Existentialism: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)by: Thomas Flynn October 12, 2006 Best Selling > Books > Feminism |

A very good point of this book is the first part which links the ancient stoics with the 19th and 20th century existentialists.
This is a good intro and a mediocre read that starts out pretty good but kind of looses itself along the way. Also it tends to focus very much on the French thinkers of the 20th century towards the end, almost missing the American existentialists along the way. IMO this book could use an update covering (1) the american sucessors to the french thinkers and (2) an account of the resurgence of existentialism in the 21st century. >>More Details |

There seems to be a fine line between social philosophy and social delusion. The intelligent person understands the difference between both. "Female Domination" is a book written by a psychotherapist Elise Sutton whose joie de vivre is D/s relationships specifically dealing with the concept of female domination and male submissive erotic relationships.
Throughout this book I couldn't help noticing that Elise was attributing realistic relationship sexual practices and marrying them with her own philosophy, which happens to be her fervent belief in female supremacy - and not just women of the dominant nature but women as a whole gender - which I can't help but see that this book happens to be more propaganda than educational about alternative relationships.

I admit that as a younger student I found Woolf rather dull and distasteful. There was something so inaccessible and over-done about her writing. However, I came to understand my own ignorance and come to a love of Woolf by seeing her as a poet, as a thinker, and not as a novelist. It is true that her writing is complex, erudite and ambiguous but that is its charm, its enigmatic charm - and A Room of One's Own is no exception. This is not a novel but rather a set of essays given to an audience of young cambridge girl students. The book opens with the wonderful premise 'A Woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction'. Thus, we are made to understand immediately the crux of the book; that intellectual freedom depends upon material ... Read More: >>More Details |
