Joanna Russ

By: Gwyneth Jones

Experimental, strange, and unabashedly feminist, Joanna Russ's groundbreaking science fiction grew out of a belief that the genre was ideal for expressing radical thought. Her essays and criticism, meanwhile, helped shape the field and still exercise a powerful influence in both SF and feminist literary studies.Award-winning author and critic Gwyneth Jones offers a new appraisal of Russ's work and ideas. After years working in male-dominated SF, Russ emerged in the late 1960s with Alyx, the uber-capable can-do heroine at the heart of Picnic on Paradise and other popular stories and books. Soon, Russ's fearless embrace of gender politics and life as an out lesbian made her a target for male outrage while feminist classics like The Female Man and The Two of Them took SF in innovative new directions. Jones also delves into Russ's longtime work as a critic of figures as diverse as Lovecraft and Cather, her foundational place in feminist fandom, important essays like "Amor Vincit Foeminam," and her career in academia.

Flowers in the Snow

The Life of Isobel Wylie Hutchison

By: Gwyneth Hoyle

Over the course of a dozen years, Scottish plant collector Isobel Wylie Hutchison (1889?1982) explored northern latitudes from the Lofoten Islands of Norway to the far reaches of the American Aleutians. To achieve her goals, she traveled by any means available, from rowboats in Greenland to trading schooners and coast-guard vessels in Alaska. When necessary, she journeyed by snowshoe or sled in pursuit of her botanical specimens, accompanied only by strangers who served as guides. In Flowers in the Snow, Gwyneth Hoyle paints a vivid portrait of a woman gloriously out of the step with the conventions of her time.

Young and Dangerous

The Backgrounds and Careers of Section 53 Offenders

By: Gwyneth Boswell

Section 53 offenders are children and young people between the ages of 10 and 17 inclusive who commit grave crimes and are sentenced to be detained, some indeterminately, under Section 53 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933. They are a small but singular group of offenders, currently numbering around 780, whose ages range from 11 to 63 years. In this publication, Dr Boswell presents her research findings into the characteristics of this group, looking particularly at the prevalence of abuse and loss in their backgrounds. She additionally considers the exercise of legal, judicial, executive and probation/social service discretion in the sentancing and custodial progressions to which these offenders are subject. The knowledge and skill base required for effective practice in this specialised field is identified and pointers for crime prevention, criminal justice policy, custodial career management and the enhancement of public understanding are provided.

Sickle Cell and Deaths in Custody

By: Simon Dyson,Gwyneth Boswell

Sickle cell is a multi-system disorder that in the USA and the UK predominantly, but not exclusively, affects those of black and minority ethnic communities. The disorder is not widely understood, so, when a sudden death of a black man in official custody is blamed on sickle cell trait (for example, Martin Lee Anderson in the USA or Alton Manning in the UK) the worlds of health, criminal justice, and black politics collide. This ground-breaking book examines: The myths about sickle cell disease The context of racism in the criminal justice systems in the UK and USA The misuse of sickle cell trait to explain away sudden deaths in custody The historic neglect of health care within prisons in the UK and USA The lack of care for those with sickle cell disease within the criminal justice system The lessons both for criminal justice systems, and for human rights and sickle cell campaigners.
