Women of Ideas and what Men Have Done to Them
While men control knowledge, they are in a position to take women's ideas. If they like them, they use them; if they don't, they lose them. Every fifty years women are required to reinvent the wheel, for every generation of women is initiated into a world in which women's traditions have been denied and buried. The text exposes the inadequacies of much modern (male) scholarship, advocating that women's absence from the record as creative intellectual beings is not women's fault, but men's.

The Writing Or the Sex?, Or, Why You Don't Have to Read Women's Writing to Know It's No Good
This text questions the differences between female and male literature. Taking the view that the difference lies not within the writing itself, but in the response to the writing, the author writes that men have been in charge of according value to literature, and that they have found the contributions of their own sex immeasurably superior. The author presents evidence for a form of literary criticism which takes account of the exploitative practices of men.

Writing a New World
A history still in the making -- Australian women writers through their letters, diaries and fictions have created a new world of literature. Dale Spender in this lively and provocative history of white women's literature presents a fresh and forthright view of the achievements of convict writers to writers and feminists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Men's Studies Modified
This book is comprised of a number of articles written by women on the impact of feminism on academic disciplines. Fundamental to feminism is the premise that women have been 'left out' of codified knowledge, so that the world has been explained in terms of men but not women. The contributors explore not only how this happened but why. They document, discipline by discipline, the gain that feminism has made in establishing alternative processes and alternative knowledge and the effect these are having in modifying the academic curriculum.
