Representations: Social Constructions of Gender
Developed from an edited series of journal articles into a larger collection with a clear identity and emphasis all its own-one need only browse through the Table of Contents. The divided lives of women in literature, Case studies of agency and communion in women's lives, A sense of humor, Dialogue with Guatemalan Indian women, Coping with rape, Earliest memories: Sex differences and the meaning of experience, Women's explanations for job changes, Androgyny and the life cycle: The Bacchae of Euripides -these are but a few of the topics represented in this diverse and interesting collection. What, then, binds these essays together? First and foremost, this is a book of stories about women, about the conflicts, choices, and opportunities that are present in the lives of women, both real and imagined.
