Contributions from these diverse fields come together to give critical attention to the complex terrain of Feminism in the 1990s.

This theme issue is an exploration of the way in which feminist ideas appear in popular forms, especially feminist novelists, such as Angela Carter and Marge Piercy, have handled particular issues; it considers writing and it duscusses the popular genres that have been taken up by feminist writers - lesbian romance and stories for teenagers.
The central concern is with the problems of putting across feminist ideas in popular crative writing. Which ideas can be presented in this form? How will they be read? Are some forms more amenable to fiminism than others? Is feminism being distorted by popularization? Does feminism come across as a message' that spoils the pleasure of reading?

First Published in 1992. A theme issue on women and health: from the selling of HRT to the art of a cancer survivor. Plus a special feature on AIDS and HIV activism.

The 1990s are proving to be a time, quite literally, of shifting territories in Europe - East and West. Both the revolutions in Eastern Europe in 1989 and the breaking of economic boundaries in 1992 are creating a new Europe; a Europe in which old questions have to be re-asked and old assumptions revaluated. This "Feminist Review" special issue, "Shifting Territories", explores these political changes in all their complexity, and in particular looks at how these changes will affect women and feminism. "Feminist Review" employs its perspective to ask such pertinent questions as: how can we make sense of these major transformations? How should we respond to them? What part should feminists play in the new world order? Is it so "new"? With articles covering the relationship between nationalism and feminism, the women's movement in Eastern Europe, feminism and the crisis of socialism, this "Feminist Review" special issue explores these shifting territories and tries to make sense of the reverberations affecting all our lives. This book should be of interest to academics and students of women's studies, cultural studies, media studies and literature, as well as the general reader intere
