First published in 1990, this collection of essays in literary criticism, feminist theory and race relations was named one of the top twenty-five books of 1988 by the Voice Literary Supplement. The title covers such subjects as black literature; the reconstruction of culture, changing arts, letters and sciences to include the topics of women and gender; and, the nature of family and the changing roles of women within society. As such, Catharine Stimpson employs a transdisciplinary approach, to encourage greater understanding of the differences among women, and thus socially-constructed differences in general. Where the Meanings Are tells of some of the arguments within feminism during the re-designing and designing of cultural spaces, as post-modernism began to change the boundaries of race, class, and gender. It will therefore be of great value to students and general readers with an interest in the relationship between gender and culture, sex and gender difference, feminist theory and literature.

"Gender systems pervade and regulate human lives--in law courts and
operating rooms, ballparks and poker clubs, hair-dressing salons
and kitchens, classrooms and playgroups. . . . Exactly how gender
works varies from culture to culture, and from historical period to
historical period, but gender is very rarely "not" at work. Nor
does gender operate in isolation. It is linked to other social
structures and sources of identity."
"Literature, Language, and Politics" brings together papers drawn
from and inspired by the controversial, landmark symposium on
"Politics and the Discipline" held at the 1987 Modern Language
Association meeting in San Francisco.
Casi todos los ensayos incluidos aqui intentan responder, desde distintas posiciones, la misma pregunta: que significa hacer estudio de mujeres? Todos ellos comparten la idea de que los significados humanos se descubren a la vez que se construyen, y que el trabajo intelectual de los estudios de genero/de mujeres es indagar como las distintas sociedades construyeron sus significados, en particular, con respecto al sexo, la sexualidad y el genero.
