Prologue.

This post contains commonly cited and/or useful references on various
topics that come up in this newsgroup.  Because of the nature of these
discussions, it is helpful if you are familiar with at least some of
the materials listed under the topic.  This is NOT a "You Must Read
Every Book On This List Before Participating In Soc.feminism" mandate,
but be aware that some familiarity with books on a particular topic
makes the ensuing discussion less frustrating for our regular readers
who have seen many similar discussions before.  

**********************************************************************
** In particular, if you have a question along the lines of "What   **
** can you tell me about <topic>?" you would do better to check the **
** sources listed here first before trying to garner explanations   **
** over the newsgroup.                                              **
**********************************************************************

This list is undergoing continual modification and I welcome
additional references for inclusion.  In particular, I would like a
wide variety of feminist opinion on each topic.  I would also like
your input on what "must reads" should be included under particular
topics.  Most of these books focus on feminism in the US; I would love
more references to Canadian, British, European, Asian, African and
Latin American feminism.  If you have any corrections to point out, by
all means, let me know if I've misspelled names or misattributed
works.

References marked with an asterisk are incomplete entries that I was
unable to verify in the on-line catalogue.  In most cases, I think
these are references to articles in magazines or books.  Any help with
these would be appreciated.

Disclaimer: The presence of any particular book in here does not
necessarily reflect my views.  There are often short blurbs
contributed by many people along with the references; no guarantee is
made as to their accuracy.  If you wish to comment on any entry in
here, please feel free to do so.

I hope you are inspired to pick up any of these works and start reading!

    Why is it that so many gifted & talented girls STILL aren't
    realizing their ful l potential, despite the Women's Movement?
    More to the point, what exactly is it that a gifted girl needs but
    society or individual circumstances may fail to provide?  The
    answers may surprise you.  (I'm not just saying that to be arch; I
    really WAS surprised at some of them.)

    Blurb: "...offers a provocative glimpse of changing marital styles
    among young corporate couples.  Frofessor Hertz describes with
    perception and wit the negotiations and ad hoc accommodations
    entailed as dual-career families succumb to the seduction of
    success.  This book will surely give pause to those who believe
    that ideological commitments to gender equality will stimulate or
    sustain marriage and childrearing patterns in the post-feminist
    era.  Rather, one detects the awesome power of corporations to
    shape the private lives of even the most privileged employees."

Lang, Susan S.  _Women without Children: The Reasons, the Rewards, the
Regrets_. Pharos Books.  1991.  ISBN 0-89687-532-3.
    Lang examines the issue of childlessness through a series of
    interviews as well as citations from the social science
    literature.  She presents various reasons women don't have
    children, then cites the statistics on the financial and personal
    strains on a couple having children, the disproportionate amount
    of work women do for their kids, the freedom childfree living can
    bring, the fact that a majority of mothers are ambivalent about
    motherhood.  She tries to debunk stereotypes of childless women as
    selfish, lonlier in their old age, less well off financially, etc.
    While many of the older women she interviewed said they went
    through a difficult period when they realized they would remain
    childless, they all seemed to adapt well and go on to find other
    sources of satisfaction in their lives.

Stephenson, June.  _The Two-Parent Family Is Not The Best_.
    The book is a fairly academic report on a survey of adults who
    were raised in a variety of circumstances: by biological parents,
    single parents and biological/step parents.  It evaluates both
    their perceptions of their happiness as children and a more
    objective evaluation of their current status as happy,
    well-adjusted adults. It presents extensive statistical reporting
    and analysis of the results of the survey.  Some interesting points:

    Children in a two-parent family were more likely to have a parent
    who used alcohol excessively (with implied negative effects) and
    who abused them physically or sexually.

    "Negative impact on children's self-esteem was affected by parents
    not spending much time with their children, and greatly affected
    by persistent family discord."

    It appears that a child is better off with a single, interested
    parent than with one interested and one disinterested parent.

    "There are also indications that children growing up in two parent
    families where the mother does not work outside the home, may
    develop excessive dependency."

    "A family with a father and a mother who does not work outside the
    home represents only 8% of the families today."

Kohlberg-Gilligan Controversy and Moral Theory" in Kittay, Eva Feder;
Meyers, Diana T., _Women and Moral Theory_, Rowman and Littlefield,
Totowa, NJ, 1987.
    Seyla Benhabib suggests that a functioning ethical system needs to
    recognize both the concrete and the generalized other in order to
    function.  She uses the Kohlberg-Gilligan controversy as a
    reference in the discussion.

Cancian, Francesca M.  _Love in America: Gender and Self-Development_.
Cambridge University Press, 1987.  ISBN: 0-521-39691-3 (trade paperback).
    Blurb: "In the last 25 years, Americans have gained considerable
    freedom in their personal lives.  Relationships are now more
    flexible, and self-development has become a primary goal for both
    men and women.  Most scholars have criticized this trend to
    greater freedom, arguing that it undermines family bonds and
    promotes selfishness and extreme independence...she [instead]
    shows that many American couples succeed in combining
    self-development with commitment, and that interdependence, not
    independence, is their ideal.  In interdependent relationships,
    love and self-development do not conflict but reinforce each other."

Chodorow, Nancy.  _The Reproduction of Mothering_.  UC Press, 1978.
    This is a psychoanalytic account of how boys and girls establish
    different gender identities.  The work focuses on the consequences
    of the fact that mothering is done by women in our society.  This
    is an academic book, which means its by no means easy-going, and
    readers who are unsympathetic to Freudian and object relations
    psychology will dismiss it out of hand. Chodorow's book is really
    the seminal work on "relational" vs. "instrumental" differences in
    wo/men--concepts that are core to later writers like Gilligan,
    etc.

Fransella, Fay and Kay Frost.  _On Being a Woman_.  Tavistock
Publications, London and New York. 1977.
    A review of research on how women see themselves.  Focuses on what
    women have to say about themselves, rather than what others say
    about them.  The authors are interested in what it means to a
    woman to be a women; they also make people aware of the fact that
    it is uncommon to ask women what they think of themselves.

June 1992.
    A well-written article: Riger reviews several very important
    issues pertaining to women and social science (experimental
    psychology in particular).  She calls for "a new vision of the
    psychological study of women that construes gender as a product of
    social interaction and links women's agency with the shaping power
    of the sociocultural, historical, and political context."  Riger
    notes that an extended version of this paper will appear in

Steinem, Gloria. _Revolution form Within_.
    This has been panned, and probably misjudged, as a woozy exercise
    in New Age thumb-sucking, but it is more about developing a good
    sense of self. A good thing about this book is that it keeps
    self-esteem firmly in context; she evidently recognizes that it is
    difficult to feel good about oneself if one has nothing of oneself
    to feel good about.

    feminism.' The book and the analysis are definitely influenced by
    Marxist theory --- indeed the author calls it 'postmarxist'.  In
    the same way as would a similar analysis of a Marxist state, some
    aspects of the hypothetical feminist state are incompatible with
    liberalism.

|    "... reclaims feminism from the socialists and collectivists and
|    what Taylor calls the 'appeal of victimization'.  'We feminists
|    who believe in the inspiring history and classical liberal
|    mainstream of American feminism should not give up our claim to
|    the name _feminist_,' she writes, 'any more than institutions
|    supporting limited government should give up their claim to the
|    name liberal.' Taylor scrutinizes and reframes feminism from Mary
|    Wollstonecraft to Anita Hill. I was struck by her generosity of
|    spirit in dealing with the issues raised: most particularly her
|    chapter on 'The Temptation of Political Expediency:
|    Antipornography.'  Hers is a thorough and satisfying examination
|    of the attitudes surrounding this explosive issue.  And she
|    covers all the potentially divisive issues: abortion, comparable
|    worth, rape, discrimination real and imagined. "Taylor 'holds it
|    important to support the full flowering of the individual life'
|    and calls for the advocacy of individual rights as a proper
|    political stance for feminists."  [Andrea Millen Rich]

Carter, Angela, ed. _The Virago Book of Fairy Tales_.  Virago Press,
London, 1990.  (American edition may have different title?)
    A collection of "adult" fairy tales, all focusing on heroines,
    from all around the world.  On back. "This stunning collection
    contains lyrical tales, bloody tales, hilariously funny and ripely
    bawdy stories, from countries around the world.  And no drippy
    princesses or soppy fairies. Instead girls, women, crones, wise as
    serpents, gentle as doves and occasionally daft as brushes."

7.  Gendered Communication and Language.
----------------------------------------

Barreca, Regina. _They Used to Call Me Snow White, But I Drifted_.
Viking Penguin/Penguin Books, New York. 1991.
    Examines the differences in how women and men use humor.  The
    book itself is a very engaging and humorous read.

Bratenberg, Gerd, _Egalias_dotre_ (in Norwegian Pax forlag/Ascheroug 
forlag).  It is also available in English: _Egalia's_Daughters_, 
published in the U.S. by The Seal Press, Seattle, Wash., and in the 
UK by The Journeyman Press, London.  (Also available in Swedish, 
German, Italian, Danish and Dutch.)
    The book turns the language and social stereotypes upside down.
    It is really interesting to see how easily one, as reader, gets
    used to the "unusual" language.  This also illustrates how
    powerful the sexism of the language is.

8.  Gender Differences.
-----------------------

Benbow, Camilla Persson. "Sex differences in mathematical reasoning
ability in intellectually talented preadolescents. Their nature,
effects, and possible causes," _Behavioral and Brain Sciences_,
11(1988).169-232.  
    Talks about the reasons in variations on math scores between males
    and females.  Her paper is nice in that it also reviews a lot of
    the literature.

Benderly, Beryl Lieff.  _The Myth Of Two Minds: What Gender Means and
Doesn't Mean_.  Doubleday, New York, 1987.
    Benderly had heard of scads of new research claiming to have
    proven innate biological differences between the brains of men and
    women, and decided to do a comprehensive overview of them.  She
    was surprised to find that *none* of this research proved what it
    purported to.

Deaux, K. and T. Emswiller. "Explanations of Successful Performance 
on Sex-Linked Tasks:  What is skill for the male is luck for the female", 
_Journal of Personality and Social Psychology_, 29 (1974), 80-85.

Fausto-Sterling, Anne. _Myths of Gender: Biological Theories about
Women and Men_.  Basic Books, New York.  1985.
    Describes the methods used in research purporting to support
    intrinsic differences in women and men.  Includes a clear
    explanation of intra-group variability: even if there are more men
    on the high end of the bell curve in math, the bell curves overlap
    so much that this makes no significant difference in the amount of
    mathematical aptitude of the sexes when compared against each
    other and tells nothing about a given woman and a given man.

Frieze, Irene H. _et al_.  _Women And Sex Roles: A Social Psychological
Perspective_.  Norton, New York.  1978.
    This is a social psychology textbook, and is a handy
    resource available for debunking all kinds of sexist claims about
    men and women.

Gould, Steven Jay. _The Mismeasure of Man_.  Norton, New York.  1981.
    A lucid description of how researcher expectations can influence
    experimental findings (gender issues is peripheral, but the
    analogies are clear).

Halper, Diane F.. _Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities_.  Lawrence
Erlbaum Associates, Hillsdate, NJ. 1986.
    The author presents the hypotheses and research that point to the
    roles of nature and nurture in explaining differences in cognitive
    ability; final chapter has an excellent summary.

Holloway, Marguerite, "Profile:  Vive la Difference",  _Scientific
American_, October 1990, 18-42. 

Lewontin, Richard, Stephen Rose and Leon J. Kamin.  _Not In Our Genes:
Biology, Ideology, and Human Nature_.  Panthon Books, New York.  1984.
    The authors are on a mission to dismantle biological determinism
    entirely, right down to its underpinnings in reductionist
    materialist philosophy.  One needn't agree with them to the same
    extent to see the validity of the debunking. Check out the chapter
    on "The Determined Patriarchy."

Montagu, Ashley.  _The Natural Superiority of Women_.  Macmillan
Publishing Company, New York. c1952.  New Revised Edition, 1974.
    [Author is male.]  From foreword: "This book is designed to bring
    the sexes closer together, not to set them apart by placing one
    above the other.  If in these pages the natural superiority of
    women is emphasized, it is because the fact has thus far received
    far too little attention, and the time is long overdue that both
    men and women become aware of it and fully understand its
    superiority."   The author makes a distinction between *natural*
    or biological superiority and social equality of women and men.

Travis, Carol.  _The Mismeasure of Woman_.  Simon and Schuster. 1992.
    The theme is that women are criticized for being too female, or
    not female enough - but are mismeasured - by how well they fit
    into a male world.  Further that the social system dislikes
    *angry* women, and that men avoid the responsibility for changing
    laws and economic or political policies that hurt women.  Travis
    takes a thoughtful rather than combative approach and is more
    likely to poke fun rather than harshly criticize.
