- A major new collection of essays by leading scholars of the social, political, economic and cultural situation of women and men in early modern Europe.
Feminist history continues to change the way history is written,
and in doing so changes our view of the past. The authors of this
collection explore how issues of sexuality, class, nationalism and
colonialism informed the ways in which women were represented and
continue to be represented in history. They show the ways in which
women have been excluded, silenced and misrepresented in stories of
the past, and how women's lives have been distorted or simplified
in conventional historical accounts. Together, they suggest fresh
ways of approaching women's history, and use examples of work in
new areas of research such as women's health and leisure in order
to demonstrate the effectiveness of the various methodologies being
proposed.
Clint Eastwood western triple bill in which he both stars and
directs. In 'Pale Rider' a community of gold mining prospectors
comes under attack from a gang of marauders, who are after the
prospectors' land. Young Megan Wheeler (Sydney Penny) prays for
help, which consequently arrives in the form of the Preacher
(Eastwood), a grim, silent stranger. The Preacher takes up the
community's cause, and sets out to repel the invaders. In 'The
Outlaw Josey Wales', Josey Wales (Eastwood) is a peaceful farmer at
the time of the American Civil War who becomes a Confederate outlaw
in order to avenge his family's death at the hands of Union
guerillas. His obsession with revenge slowly lifts, however, as he
picks up various outcasts in the wilderness. Wales tries to protect
his new 'family' by leading them to a safe haven where they can
rebuild their lives. Finally in 'Unforgiven, it is 1880s Kansas and
ageing gunslinger-turned-farmer William Munny (Eastwood)
reluctantly agrees to come out of retirement to help Ned Logan
(Morgan Freeman) collect the bounty on a wanted murderer. The man
in question cut up a prostitute in a lawless town lorded over by
the corrupt Sheriff Daggett (Gene Hackman), and if Munny and Logan
want to catch him they are going to have to deal with Daggett
first. A gritty western which brought a new level of critical
respect to its director, Clint Eastwood, winning him the Oscars for
Best Picture and Best Director (it also picked up the Best
Supporting Actor award for Gene Hackman).
