Liberation of Women
The Liberation of Women (RLE Feminist Theory)
In The Liberation of Women, Roberta Hamilton explores two of the key questions that have been systematically raised by the Women’s Liberation Movement: why have women occupied a subordinate position in society and how can the variation in the forms and intensity of their exploitation and oppression be explained? Within the Women’s Liberation Movement there have been seen to be two different and opposed answers to these questions: a feminist answe…
La sociologie féministe (1970-2003) au Canada anglais
Cet essai offre un compte rendu de l’histoire du féminisme et de son statut actuel au sein de la sociologie canadienne. Comme ce fut le cas ailleurs, les militantes féministes de la deuxième vague insistèrent sur la nécessité de leur faire une place dans les départements de sociologie à travers le pays; elles insistèrent aussi pour qu’une place soit faite à leur perspective. À la fin des années 1970, la plupart des départements donnaient des cour…

Cecil Foster, Blackness and Modernity
Having finished this dense, frustrating -and ultimately exhilarating -book with its deep debt to Hegel, one's first impulse is to reread it, thus producing an ongoing deferral: the review that never would be.In the end all the notes, checkmarks, underlines and exclamation marks stand not as guide posts but as obstacles.It is beyond my ability to stitch together the countless "ah ha" moments, brilliant insights either from Foster himself or from t…
Gendering the Vertical Mosaic
Setting the Agenda
uted a great deal to his writings, including The EnJianchisment of Women, The Politics of Political Economy, and On Liberty. In The Voice ofHarriet TaylorMill, Jacobs has achieved her goal of creating history imbuedwith a lively sense of intimacy. But my reservations stand. While I understand that all history is the result of interpretation and subjectivity, and that all historians shape their material depending on class, race, gender, etc., I li…
Setting the Agenda
Gendering the Vertical Mosaic, Feminist Perspectives on Canadian Society
I write this review of a book clearly designed for the university market, be it women's studies, sociology, or political science courses, while I compose at the same time a talk to CEOs of large corporations here in Calgary. An interesting experience, this moving back and forth in my mind between audiences. I think about what people hear, about their expectations, about contexts, about my own motivations in talking in public arenas. Am I right in…
Feminist Theories
Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method

Feminism
Is Canadian feminism MERELY a dependent offshoot of American, British or French feminism? Or is it distinctly different? The two books under review are both designed to offer evidence not only for the distinctiveness of Canadian feminism but also for the special contribution that Canadians have made to feminist theory. The Politics of Diversity, edited by Roberta Hamilton and Michele Barrett, two Marxist feminist scholars, the first of whom is Ca…
Does Misogyny Matter? Its reproduction and its consequences for social progress
Does misogyny matter? In a sense the question is simply rhetorical, but I want to argue that it matters in a more systematic way than might be usually thought: it matters to us as teachers, students, researchers; matters to us as critics of our own society, critics of the existing relations of economic and political power between nations, classes, races, and of course the sexes. What I want to suggest is that misogyny is not a word useful simply …
The Process of Occupational Sex-Typing
Samuel Cohn’s critical study of two Victorian British firms represents a radically new examination of women’s work. By contrasting the Post Office, which was the first employer to use female clerks instead of males, and the Great Western Railway, one of the last employers to make this change, Cohn identifies the organizational and economic limits to female employment. The Process of Occupational Sex-Typing challenges traditional accounts of cleri…
Rape and Inequality
The authors review popular, legal and scientific explanations of rape and offer a new and persuasive approach to understanding violence against women. They show that rape is not common to all societies and conclude that it is linked to general levels of sexual inequality, sexism and violence. It is seen as a consequence of the development of capitalism. In supporting their thesis, the authors present material that will be of great interest to ant…
