Unpunished
Unpunished is a story about, love, abuse, sex, betrayal, deceit, mental illness, murder and the unknown. It's NOT a pretty story, however it is one woman's true story. Donna was on her way home from work one afternoon when she stopped to pick up her mail. She tore excitedly into a package that she assumed was from her mother; instead photographs from her past tumbled onto her lap. She is thrown into the memories of her past, memories that are unwanted and of deeds that went unpunished!!

The taste and feel of the days are palpable, and the pre-camp memories of the prisoners are woven brilliantly into the narrative.

Writing the Pioneer Woman
Focusing on a series of autobiographical texts, published and private, well known and obscure, Writing the Pioneer Woman examines the writing of domestic life on the nineteenth-century North American frontier. In an attempt to determine the meanings found in the pioneer woman's everyday writings -- from records of recipes to descriptions of washing floors -- Janet Floyd explores domestic details in the autobiographical writing of British and Anglo-American female emigrants.
The Feminist Classroom
The issues explored in The Feminist Classroom are as timely and controversial today as they were when the book first appeared six years ago.

This edition also goes beyond the classroom, to examine the present context of American higher education. Drawing on in-depth interviews and using the actual words of students and teachers, the authors take the reader into classrooms at six colleges and un...
