Book Description
"Women are at last beginning to talk about their bodies, not only among themselves, but also in print. When I began writing Mrs. Blood ... this was not the case. So many women have come up to me and said, 'Yes, I've been through that too--a messy miscarriage, a still birth, a bad abortion--but I never really talked about it--the pain, the fear, the futility of it all.'" Mrs. Blood is Audrey Thomas' first novel--woman from the inside.

Making Babies
Author: Sandra Sabatini
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 088920621X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Although the infant has been a consistent figure in literature (and, for many people, a significant figure in personal life), there’s been little attention focused on infants, or on their place in Canadian fiction, until now. In this book, Sandra Sabatini examines Canadian fiction to trace the ideological charge behind the represented infant. Examining writers from L.M. Montgomery and Frederick Philip Grove to Thomas King and Terry Griggs, Sabatini compares women’s writing about babies with the way infants appear in texts by men over the course of a century. She discovers a range of changing attitudes toward babies. After being seen as a source of financial burden, social shame, or sentimental fantasy, infants have increasingly become a source of value and meaning. The book challenges the perception of babies as passive objects of care and argues for a reading of the infant as a subject in itself. It also reflects upon how the representations of infancy in Canadian literature offer an intriguing portrait of how we imagine ourselves.

Inappropriate Relationships
Author: Robin Goodwin
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1135652422
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
In one of the great euphemisms of our time, an embattled President Clinton admitted to an "inappropriate relationship" with his White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. But what exactly is an "inappropriate relationship?" For that matter, what is an "appropriate relationship?" And how can an understanding of the rules of "appropriateness" help us understand personal relationships in our modern world? Contributors to this book discuss the personal boundaries and taboos of modern relationships. Together they examine the power struggles that can occur when individuals are involved in "inappropriate" relationships, and the ways individuals in such a relationship may attempt to buffer themselves against sanctions--or even embrace this relationship as an agent of social change. Representing work from a range of disciplines, this collection will appeal to scholars, researchers, students, and professionals working on relationships issues in areas across the social sciences, including those working in the fields of social psychology, family studies, social anthropology, cultural studies, and communication.
