First published in 2006. Women Take Issue draws on collective and
individual research by members of the Women's Studies Group at the
Centre. It concentrates on the problems of analysing women's
subordination in Britain.The book opens with a retrospective
article which comes to grips with the problem of doing feminist
intellectual work through the experience of the Women's Studies
Group. This is followed by an analysis of some aspects of the early
women's movement. In the third section economic approaches to the
basis of women's oppression are examined for their usefulness and
limitations. The second half of the book includes articles on: The
culture of teenage girls Young working class women at home Woman -
the problem of femininity as constructed in this magazine Women's
reproductive role through class and history Anthropology Women,
kinship structures and family. This combination of theoretical work
and contemporary case studies engages constructively with the
traditions of cultural analysis from a feminist perspective, and
contributes to the study of women's situation in Britain.
