Representing Women
An interdisciplinary anthology of writing by and about women and the way they talk about themselves and allow others to talk about them in ways that are sometimes liberating, sometimes incriminating, but always fraught with questions of personal, and therefore political, power. Some topics include the concept of representation in the law; race and essentialism in feminist legal theory; and representing the lesbian in law and literature. Lacks an index. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Beyond Portia
A resource to help judges, lawyers, scholars, and students gain insight into the real lives of women whom the law purports to represent but whose self-representations have historically been excluded from legal discourse.
Beyond Bylines
Beyond Bylines: Media Workers and Women’s Rights in Canada explores the ways in which several of Canada’s women journalists, broadcasters, and other media workers reached well beyond the glory of their personal bylines to advocate for the most controversial women’s rights of their eras. To do so, some of them adopted conventional feminine identities, while others refused to conform altogether, openly and defiantly challenging the gender expectations of their day. The book consists of a series of case studies of the women in question as they grappled with the concerns close to their hearts: higher education for women, healthy dress reforms, the vote, equal opportunities at work, abortio...
Still Sane
Amazon.com Review : Still Sane is a catalog of an exhibit by Persimmon Blackbridge and Sheila Gilhooly about how lesbians have been considered mentally ill by psychiatric establishments. Full-page photographs of Blackbridge's clay forms of partial female bodies convey the anguish of isolation and abuse, then the exhilaration of self-discovery and freedom. Gilhooly's texts refer to her own experience of being in and out of mental hospitals in the 1970s after she was diagnosed with Lesbianism. Essays by lesbian and Mad Movement writers describe the progress both communities have made in protecting women from diagnoses of deviance. This book is about refusing to be what others label you, about surviving undiminished, about reclaiming yourself.

NORAD
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has undergone wide-ranging changes since 2006, when it was given a new maritime warning mission and the NORAD Agreement was signed in perpetuity. Andrea Charron and James Fergusson trace NORAD’s recent history, marked by innovations in technology and in command and control, but also by unprecedented threats. The shared defence of North America remains an important issue that should extend to other areas, such as the joint defence of the maritime and cyber domains. Fuelled by a deep curiosity about the command and its decisions made in the face of inevitable geopolitical and technological changes, this book uses a functional lens to evalu...
