Gender in the Mirror
Harmful, culturally prevalent imagery of feminine sexuality, beauty, and motherhood constrains women's self-determination.

Subjection and Subjectivity
Diana Tietjens Meyers examines the political underpinnings of psychoanalytic feminism, analyzing the relation between the nature of the self and the structure of good societies.

Victims' Stories and the Advancement of Human Rights
What does it mean to be a victim? How can we better listen to and learn from the experiences of those whose human rights have been violated? This book addresses questions suggested by the worldwide persistence of human rights abuse and the prevalence of appeals to victims' stories in human rights campaigns, truth commissions, and international criminal tribunals. Meyers takes an interdisciplinary approach to considering how victims' stories can contribute to enlarged understandings of human rights protections and deepened commitments to realizing human rights.
