Counting Girls Out
Based on research, this text tackles issues and truisms, such as 'women are irrational, illogical and too close to their emotions to be any good at mathematics', and examines and puts into perspective these and other claims.
Daddy's Girl
Reflecting on her own working class roots and taking us into the homes and the confidence of working class girls today, Valerie Walkerdine raises troubling questions about television and parental control, about Freud's seduction theory, and the manipulation of little girls and their thoughts and feelings about themselves and their "place" in their world.
Gender, Work and Community After De-Industrialisation
How does an industrial community cope when they are told that closure is inevitable? What if this is only the last in a 200 year long line of threats, insecurities and closure? How did people weather the storms and how do they face the future now? While attempts to regenerate communities are everywhere, we do not often hear from the people themselves just how they managed to create safe collective spaces or how the fall of the whole house of cards brought with it effects which can be felt by young people who never knew the town when it was an industrial heartland. We hear the story of how men and women tried to cope and still want to retain their community in the face of its destruction. What can they and will they have to pass to the next generation and where will that leave the young people themselves, who have nothing to stay for but are unable to leave? This book examines these crucial questions facing post-industrial societies.

The Maternal in Creative Work
The Maternal in Creative Work examines the interrelation between art, creativity and maternal experience, inviting international artists, theorists and cultural workers to discuss their approaches to the central feminist question of the relation between maternity, generation and creativity. This edited collection explores various modes and forms of art practice which look at mothers as subjects and as artists of the maternal experience, and how the creative practice is used to accept, negotiate, resist or challenge traditional conceptions of mothering.
