"In Lesbian Death, Mairead Sullivan probes the perception that lesbian status is in retreat, exploring the political promises-and failures-of lesbian feminism and its usefulness today. Sullivan reads how lesbian is conceptualized in relation to death from the 1970s onward, arguing that lesbian offers disruptive potential and offering a fresh perspective on her value for feminist and queer projects"-- The loss of lesbian spaces, as well as ideas of the lesbian as anachronistic, has called into question the place of lesbian identity within our current culture. In Lesbian Death, Mairead Sullivan probes the perception that lesbian status is in retreat, exploring the political promises--and failures--of lesbian feminism and its usefulness today. Arguing that lesbian offers disruptive potential, Sullivan reads how lesbian is conceptualized in relation to death from the 1970s onward, examining the rise of lesbian breast cancer activism in San Francisco in conversation with ACT UP, the lesbian separatist manifestos the C.L.I.T. papers, the enduring specter of lesbian bed death, and the weaponization of lesbian identity against trans lives. By situating the lesbian as a border figure between feminist and queer, Lesbian Death offers a fresh perspective on the value of lesbian for both feminist and queer projects, even if her value is her death--back cover.

In 1953 publiceerde de antropoloog Ashley Montagu dit baanbrekend werk waarin komaf gemaakt wordt met de diepgewortelde overtuiging dat mannen 'van nature' superieur zijn aan vrouwen. Vanaf het eind van de 19e eeuw werden door Darwin en andere aanhangers van de evolutieleer wetenschappelijke argumenten aangehaald die de idee van mannelijke dominantie bevestigden. "The natural superiority of women" kan gelezen worden als een veelgelaagd argument tegen deze overtuiging. Zich baserend op biologische, culturele en antropologische bevindingen, argumenteert Montagu dat de genetische, biologische en fysische kenmerken van de vrouw haar niet alleen tot 's mans gelijke maken maar zelfs tot zijn meerdere. Enerzijds deconstrueert Montagu de theorie van de passieve rol van de vrouw in de evolutie en van haar inferieure cognitieve en andere capaciteiten die daar een gevolg van zouden zijn. Anderzijds toont hij zich een overtuigd aanhanger van het sociaal constructivisme en beschrijft hij hoe veel van hetgeen voorheen als een onuitroeibaar, biologisch verschil werd beschouwd in feite cultureel geconstrueerd is.In elke volgende uitgave van het boek verwerkte Montagu nieuwe inzichten en trends, vaak van feministische auteurs, die betrekking hebben op de rol van gender in de menselijke evolutie. In deze vijfde editie resulteert dit in een palimpsest van twintigste-eeuwse wetenschappelijke, humanistische en progressieve benaderingen van gender. Het is een dialoog met een eeuw antropologische theorie en een uitvoerige kritiek op allerlei reductionistische tendensen waartoe bepaalde takken van de wetenschap, zoals de sociobiologie, zich vaak laten verleiden.

Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics - yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success. If females receive lower test scores then they also receive fewer opportunities. Why does this discrepancy exist? This book presents a series of papers that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories. Authors such as Diane Halpern, Jacquelynne Eccles, Beth Casey, Ronald Nuttal, James Byrnes, and Frank Pajares tackle these questions from a variety of perspectives. Many different branches of psychology are represented, including cognitive, social, personality/self-oriented, and psychobiological. The editors then present an integrative chapter that discusses the ideas presented and other areas that the field should explore.
