*French, Marilyn. "Do You Have to be a Lesbian to be a
Feminist?"
    Unions are valid only when both participants are free to make
    them, and that a woman who is economically supported by a man,
    whose children are economically supported by a man, whose house is
    owned by a man, and whose life revolves around a man is bound
    several ways, whether or not she actively chose that life.  The
    freer she can be, the more powerful her choice to stay with her
    partner, male or female.

MacKinnon, Catharine. _Toward a Feminist Theory of the State_.
Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA.  1989.
    The book, really, is an attempt to answer the question. "What
    would a form of government which is actively feminist be like?"
    Here the word 'feminist' is used in the sense of 'radical
    feminism.' The book and the analysis are definitely influenced by
    Marxist theory --- indeed the author calls it 'postmarxist'.  In
    the same way as would a similar analysis of a Marxist state, some
    aspects of the hypothetical feminist state are incompatible with
    liberalism.

    Canadian Philosophical Association was rejected.  She concludes

Sociology_.  Northeastern Universty Press, Boston.  1987.
    Explication of standpoint epistemology.

|Taylor, Joan Kennedy.  _Reclaiming the Mainstream: Individualist
|Feminism Rediscovered_.  1992.
|    "... reclaims feminism from the socialists and collectivists and
|    what Taylor calls the 'appeal of victimization'.  'We feminists
|    who believe in the inspiring history and classical liberal
|    mainstream of American feminism should not give up our claim to
|    the name _feminist_,' she writes, 'any more than institutions
|    supporting limited government should give up their claim to the
|    name liberal.' Taylor scrutinizes and reframes feminism from Mary
|    Wollstonecraft to Anita Hill. I was struck by her generosity of
|    spirit in dealing with the issues raised: most particularly her
|    chapter on 'The Temptation of Political Expediency:
|    Antipornography.'  Hers is a thorough and satisfying examination
|    of the attitudes surrounding this explosive issue.  And she
|    covers all the potentially divisive issues: abortion, comparable
|    worth, rape, discrimination real and imagined. "Taylor 'holds it
|    important to support the full flowering of the individual life'
|    and calls for the advocacy of individual rights as a proper
|    political stance for feminists."  [Andrea Millen Rich]

6.  Folklore.
-------------

London, 1990.  (American edition may have different title?)
    A collection of "adult" fairy tales, all focusing on heroines,
    from all around the world.  On back. "This stunning collection
    contains lyrical tales, bloody tales, hilariously funny and ripely
    bawdy stories, from countries around the world.  And no drippy
    princesses or soppy fairies. Instead girls, women, crones, wise as
    serpents, gentle as doves and occasionally daft as brushes."

Cole, Babbette. _Princess Smartypants_.  G.P. Putnam's Sons, New
York. 1986.
    Children's book, where the princess rejects the prince.

7.  Gendered Communication and Language.
----------------------------------------

Barreca, Regina. _They Used to Call Me Snow White, But I Drifted_.
Viking Penguin/Penguin Books, New York. 1991.
    Examines the differences in how women and men use humor.  The
    book itself is a very engaging and humorous read.

Bratenberg, Gerd, _Egalias_dotre_ (in Norwegian Pax forlag/Ascheroug
forlag).  It is also available in English: _Egalia's_Daughters_,
published in the U.S. by The Seal Press, Seattle, Wash., and in the
UK by The Journeyman Press, London.  (Also available in Swedish,
German, Italian, Danish and Dutch.)
    The book turns the language and social stereotypes upside down.
    It is really interesting to see how easily one, as reader, gets
    used to the "unusual" language.  This also illustrates how
    powerful the sexism of the language is.

Cherry, Louise.  _Language and Sex: Difference and Dominance_.
    Teacher-child interaction in pre-schools.

Hofstadter, Douglas. _Metamagical Themas: Questing for Essence of Mind
and Pattern_. Bantam, New York.  1985.

    Engendered by Rising Consciousness") with an effective argument
    for gender inclusive speech.

Fathers' Tongues_.  Athena Series, Pergammon Press. 1990.
ISBN: 0-08-036555-8.

    language, including but not limited to the discussion of gender
    inclusive pronouns.

Persing, Bobbye Sorrels.  _The Nonsexist Communicator_.
Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.  1983.

Tannen, Deborah. _You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in
Conversation_.  Morrow, New York.  1990.
    Gender differences in communication, anecdotal.


8.  Gender Differences.
-----------------------

Benbow, Camilla Persson. "Sex differences in mathematical reasoning
ability in intellectually talented preadolescents. Their nature,
effects, and possible causes," _Behavioral and Brain Sciences_,
11(1988).169-232.
    Talks about the reasons in variations on math scores between males
    and females.  Her paper is nice in that it also reviews a lot of
    the literature.

Benderly, Beryl Lieff.  _The Myth Of Two Minds: What Gender Means and
Doesn't Mean_.  Doubleday, New York, 1987.
    Benderly had heard of scads of new research claiming to have
    proven innate biological differences between the brains of men and
    women, and decided to do a comprehensive overview of them.  She
    was surprised to find that *none* of this research proved what it
    purported to.

Deaux, K. and T. Emswiller. "Explanations of Successful Performance
on Sex-Linked Tasks:  What is skill for the male is luck for the female",
_Journal of Personality and Social Psychology_, 29 (1974), 80-85.

Fausto-Sterling, Anne. _Myths of Gender: Biological Theories about
Women and Men_.  Basic Books, New York.  1985.
    Describes the methods used in research purporting to support
    intrinsic differences in women and men.  Includes a clear
    explanation of intra-group variability: even if there are more men
    on the high end of the bell curve in math, the bell curves overlap
    so much that this makes no significant difference in the amount of
    mathematical aptitude of the sexes when compared against each
    other and tells nothing about a given woman and a given man.

Frieze, Irene H. _et al_.  _Women And Sex Roles: A Social Psychological
Perspective_.  Norton, New York.  1978.
    This is a social psychology textbook, and is a handy
    resource available for debunking all kinds of sexist claims about
    men and women.

Gould, Steven Jay. _The Mismeasure of Man_.  Norton, New York.  1981.
    A lucid description of how researcher expectations can influence
    experimental findings (gender issues is peripheral, but the
    analogies are clear).

Halper, Diane F.. _Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities_.  Lawrence
Erlbaum Associates, Hillsdate, NJ. 1986.
    The author presents the hypotheses and research that point to the
    roles of nature and nurture in explaining differences in cognitive
    ability; final chapter has an excellent summary.

Holloway, Marguerite, "Profile:  Vive la Difference",  _Scientific
American_, October 1990, 18-42.

Lewontin, Richard, Stephen Rose and Leon J. Kamin.  _Not In Our Genes:
Biology, Ideology, and Human Nature_.  Panthon Books, New York.  1984.
    The authors are on a mission to dismantle biological determinism
    entirely, right down to its underpinnings in reductionist
    materialist philosophy.  One needn't agree with them to the same
    extent to see the validity of the debunking. Check out the chapter
    on "The Determined Patriarchy."

Montagu, Ashley.  _The Natural Superiority of Women_.  Macmillan
Publishing Company, New York. c1952.  New Revised Edition, 1974.
    [Author is male.]  From foreword: "This book is designed to bring
    the sexes closer together, not to set them apart by placing one
    above the other.  If in these pages the natural superiority of
    women is emphasized, it is because the fact has thus far received
    far too little attention, and the time is long overdue that both
    men and women become aware of it and fully understand its
    superiority."   The author makes a distinction between *natural*
    or biological superiority and social equality of women and men.

Petersen, Anne C. "Biopsychosocial Processes in the Development of
Sex-related Differences", Jacquelynne E. Parsons, ed. _The
Psychobiology of Sex Differences and Sex Roles_.  Hemisphere
Publishing Company, Washington. 1980. 31-56.

Pomerleau, Andree, Daniel Bolduc, Gerard Malcuit, and Louise Cossette.
"Pink or Blue: Environmental Gender Stereotypes in the First Two Years
of Life", _Sex Roles: A Journal of Research_, 22 (1990) 359- 367.

Travis, Carol.  _The Mismeasure of Woman_.  Simon and Schuster. 1992.
    The theme is that women are criticized for being too female, or
    not female enough - but are mismeasured - by how well they fit
    into a male world.  Further that the social system dislikes
    *angry* women, and that men avoid the responsibility for changing
    laws and economic or political policies that hurt women.  Travis
    takes a thoughtful rather than combative approach and is more
    likely to poke fun rather than harshly criticize.

    Blurb: "Beginning with a detailed history of the `second wave'

    and institutionalized feminism, and by emphasizing the former
    reveals a part of feminist organizing that has most often been
    invisible."
