Repossessing the World

Reading Memoirs by Contemporary Women

By: Helen M. Buss

Annotation A critical inquiry into women's use of the memoir, a form that has often been dismissed as less significant than autobiography, less professional than the novel, and less intellectual than the essay. Buss (aka Margaret Clarke; English, U. of Calgary) argues that the memoir "bridges the typical strategies of historical and literary discourses in order to establish necessary connections between the private and the public, the personal and political ... The memoir is increasingly used (by women) to interrogate the private individual's relationship to a history and/or a culture from which she finds her experience of her self and her life excluded." Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

World History

By: Helen Buss Mitchell,Joseph Mitchell,Buss Mitchell Helen

[This book follows] the periodization of the Western world, beginning with Exploration and Colonization, continuing through the Enlightenment and Industrial/Scientific Revolutions, examining the hot and cold wars of the Twentieth Century, and ending with Global Problems, Global Interdependence. Within this narrative of Western progress, one can find responses to imperialism, resistance to expansionism and the slave trade. Women emerge as citizens and even rulers. China's decision to abandon its exploration of the world as well as its competence in mechanization and mass production offers a parallel narrative to Europe's embracing of this path. And, [the book] conclude[s] with a survey of challenging new problems - atomic, nuclear, and chemical weapons; the so-called population "bomb"; religious zealotry and terrorism; and the largely unpredictable results of globalization.-To the reader

Studying Human Behavior

How Scientists Investigate Aggression and Sexuality

Studying Human Behavior

How Scientists Investigate Aggression and Sexuality

By: Helen E. Longino

In Studying Human Behavior, Helen E. Longino enters into the complexities of human behavioral research, a domain still dominated by the age-old debate of “nature versus nurture.” Rather than supporting one side or another or attempting to replace that dichotomy with a different framework for understanding behavior, Longino focuses on how scientists study it, specifically sexual behavior and aggression, and asks what can be known about human behavior through empirical investigation. She dissects five approaches to the study of behavior—quantitative behavioral genetics, molecular behavior genetics, developmental psychology, neurophysiology and anatomy, and social/environmental methods—highlighting the underlying assumptions of these disciplines, as well as the different questions and mechanisms each addresses. She also analyzes efforts to integrate different approaches. Longino concludes that there is no single “correct” approach but that each contributes to our overall understanding of human behavior. In addition, Longino reflects on the reception and transmission of this behavioral research in scientific, social, clinical, and political spheres. A highly significant and innovative study that bears on crucial scientific questions, Studying Human Behavior will be essential reading not only for scientists and philosophers but also for science journalists and anyone interested in the engrossing challenges of understanding human behavior.

Encyclopedia of Women Social Reformers [2 volumes]

[2 volumes]

By: Helen Rappaport

The first comprehensive guide to women activists from every part of the world, illuminating the broad range of women's struggles to reform society from the 18th century to the present. Despite being marginalized, disenfranchised, impoverished, and oppressed, women have always stepped forward in disproportionate numbers to lead movements for social change. This two-volume encyclopedia documents the visions, struggles, and lives of women who have changed the world. This encyclopedia celebrates the lives and achievements of nearly 300 women from around the globe—women who have bravely insisted that the way things are is not the way they have to be. Nadeshda Krupskaya, the wife of Lenin, spearheaded the drive against illiteracy in post-revolutionary Russia. American Dorothy Day founded the Catholic worker movement. Begum Rokeya Hossain organized a girls' school in Calcutta in 1911. Rachel Carson launched the modern environmental movement with her book Silent Spring. The stories of these women and the hundreds of others collected here will restore missing pages to our history and inspire a new generation of women to change the world.
