Feminist Theory
This curated selection of recent contributions from Contemporary Political Theory presents two conversations that have emerged among feminists who have published there. One records a variety of views about "Feminist Classics, Genres, Contestations," and the other presents a provocative focus on "Feminist Lives, Desires, Futures." Readers will find feminist voices in articles, Critical Exchanges, and exceptional book reviews, notable for both the authors and reviewers in dialogue there. An Editor's Introduction, and specially written Epilogue, introduce and reflect on the content. Readers will enjoy the careful, imaginative engagements in this volume -- political and intellectual -- as they think along conversationally with the feminists in this collection. Terrell Carver is Professor of Political Theory at the University of Bristol, UK. He has been co-editor-in-chief of Contemporary Political Theory since 2010. .

Queens, Empresses, Grand Duchesses and Regents
This book presents the lives and accomplishments of 39 women rulers--not "in-name-only," but wielders of real power. Celebrated queens like England's Elizabeth I share equal space here with lesser-known monarchs like Giovanna I of Naples and Maria da Gloria of Portugal. The flamboyant, such as Christina of Sweden, contrast with the moralistic, like Maria Theresa of Austria. Each is the heroine of an often dramatic story involving dynastic interplay and court politics. The complex forces that have impeded or sparked the royal performances are detailed.
Coptic Culture and Community
A wide-ranging exploration of the daily lives of ordinary Coptic Christians, from late Antiquity until today This volume brings together leading experts from a range of disciplines to examine aspects of the daily lived experiences of Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority from late Antiquity to the present.

Coptic Culture and Community reveals the humanity of the Coptic tradition, giving granular depth to how Copts have lived their lives through and because of their faith for two thousand years. The first three s...
Living the End of Antiquity
This volume covers the transition period stretching from the reign of Justinian I to the end of the 8th century, focusing on the experience of individuals who lived through the last decades of Byzantine rule in Egypt before the arrival of the new Arab rulers. The contributions drawing from the wealth of sources we have for Egypt, explore phenomena of stability and disruption during the transition from the classical to the postclassical world.
From She-Wolf to Martyr

"The Useless Mouths" and Other Literary Writings
"The Useless Mouths" and Other Literary Writings brings to English-language readers literary writings--several previously unknown--by Simone de Beauvoir. Culled from sources including various American university collections, the works span decades of Beauvoir's career. Ranging from dramatic works and literary theory to radio broadcasts, they collectively reveal fresh insights into Beauvoir's writing process, personal life, and the honing of her philosophy. The volume begins with a new translation of the 1945 play The Useless Mouths, written in Paris during the Nazi occupation. Other pieces were discovered after Beauvoir's death in 1986, such as the 1965 short novel "Misunderstanding in Mosco...
