Blind Switch
BLIND SWITCH--When a horse and rider are caught in a trap behind or between horses in such a way that keeps them from pursuing a free path forward. However, ordinary people can be caught in a Blind Switch, too. What does the murder of a small-town police chief, a long-forgotten prize fight, and a jockey suspended for race fixing have in common? Clarke Campbell, Blind Switch protagonist, finds the answer, but not until he becomes the prime suspect in one murder and the intended victim in another. After losing his beloved wife and best friend, Clarke has decided to walk away from his old, safe life and pursue a dream he has kept on the proverbial back shelf for years. So, along with gregarious...
Woman's Consciousness, Man's World
A groundbreaking contribution to debates on women’s oppression and consciousness, and the connections between socialism and feminism, this foundational text shows how the roles women adopt within the capitalist economy have shaped ideas about family and sexuality. Examining feminist consciousness from various vantage points – social, sexual, cultural and economic – Sheila Rowbotham identifies the conditions under which it developed, and how the formation of a new “way of seeing” for women can lead to collective solidarity.
Daring to Hope
A personal history of life, love and women’s liberation In this powerful memoir Sheila Rowbotham looks back at her life as a participant in the women’s liberation movement, left politics and the creative radical culture of a decade in which freedom and equality seemed possible. She reveals the tremendous efforts that were made to transform attitudes and feelings, as well as daily life. After addressing the first British Women’s Liberation Conference at Ruskin College, Oxford in 1970, she went on to encourage night cleaners to unionise, to campaign for nurseries and abortion rights. She played an influential role in discussions of socialist feminist ideas and her books and journalism attracted an international readership. Written with generosity and humour Daring to Hope recreates grassroots networks, communal houses and squats, bringing alive a shared impetus to organise collectively and to love without jealousy or domination. It conveys the shifts occurring in politics and society through kernels of personal experience. The result is a book about liberation in the widest sense.
If You're a Girl, revised and expanded edition
The trailblazing book that influenced a generation of writers, and proves that mature reflection needn’t be lacking in attitude. In the beginning when everything was very sexual we talked about our fantasies. She thought about having a guy for some of it. She thought about having a gun. I had gone through a lot to get away from guys so I admit that the thought of going back to them, even for a little adventure, was surprising and disconcerting … Ann Rower’s first book, If You’re a Girl, published by Semiotext(e)’s Native Agents series in 1991 in tandem with Cookie Mueller’s Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black, cemented her reputation as the Eve Babitz of lower Man...
Illegal Justice
The senseless killing of a young black man by the police causes his well-to-do uncle to arrange a meeting of his four closest friends. Outraged by the tragedy and by the knowledge of the seemingly endless parade of many other innocent victims, they decide that brutality against minorities must stop...and they are the ones to stop it. Retribution comes in a surprising form. After a lengthy and puzzling investigation, the coincidence of the common transgressions of the dead officers becomes apparent to a young detective, and the hunt begins. Fear spreads through the precincts as they begin to understand the message. The action is riveting and interwoven with the renewed relationship between the enforcer and an old flame. Illegal Justice is not just another action/murder story, it is a very timely tale with a point and an eerie proposition.

Instinctive Birthing
Val Clarke aims to help all women achieve the births they want. The book goes through the entire birth process, explaining where instinct has a role to play, and why it is usually correct. Dotted within are reassuring anecdotes and stories of the mothers she's attended, and very often, pictures of the babies that they bore.
