Spanning nearly two decades, from 1980 to 1996, this Reader investigates the debates which have best characterized feminist theory. Including such articles as Pornography and Fantasy , The Body and Cinema , Nature as Female , and A Manifesto for Cyborgs , the extracts examine thoughts on sexualtiy as a domain of exploration, the visual representation of women, what being a feminist means, and why feminists are increasingly involved in political struggles to negotiate the context and meaning of technological development.With writings by bell hooks, Alice Jardine, and Andrea Dworkin, this multicultural Reader reflects the dynamic nature of feminist debates and the genuine diversity within current feminist theory. Capturing the sense of the rapid movement within feminist theory and criticism, Feminisms is ideal for anyone interested in feminism and the history behind it.

Lucy Snowová vyrůstá u své kmotry, kde je jejím hlavním úkolem vychovávat malou Paulinu, dceru rodinného přítele. Když se Paulinin otec odstěhuje do Evropy, Lucy si musí hledat jiné živobytí a nastoupí jako pečovatelka. Po smrti dámy, o niž se stará, se Lucy rozhodne, že změní svůj život, a odcestuje do Evropy. Na lodi se spřátelí s mladou dívkou Ginevrou, která jí poradí, ať zkusí štěstí jako vychovatelka v penzionátu madam Beckové ve městě Villette. Nenápadná, tichá a přemýšlivá Angličanka madam Beckovou zaujme, Lucy u ní získá práci a objevuje nový svět a s ním i nové lidi: muže, jenž si říká Dr. John a snaží se získat srdce krásné, leč koketní a povrchní Ginevry, a také monsieura Emanuela, charismatického učitele literatury. Bude Villette místem, kde Lucy najde své životní naplnění a snad i velkou lásku?

Published in 1926 Debits and Credits, a book of short stories that expands some of the material collected in writing The Irish Guards in The Great War, as well as resuming some topics of earlier Kipling stories; fables, animals, English history, and Stalky & Co's views on education. The final story, "The Gardener", has been classed with "Mary Postgate" as of particular interest to feminists and to students of English society during World War I, while its ambiguous narrative also makes it interesting to students of modernism.
