Cinesexuality
By: MacCormack, Patricia
Published by: Ashgate
Cinesexuality explores the queerness of cinema spectatorship – represented as a unique encounter of desire, pleasure and perversion beyond binary dialectics of subject/object and image/meaning. Through a variety of cinematic examples, the book encourages a radical shift to spectatorship as itself inherently queer beyond what is watched and who watches.

Civilization without Sexes
By: Roberts, Mary Louise
Published by: The University of Chicago Press
In the raucous decade following World War I, newly blurred boundaries between male and female created fears among the French that theirs was becoming a civilization without sexes. This new gender confusion became a central metaphor for the War's impact on French culture and led to a marked increase in public debate concerning female identity and woman's proper role. Mary Louise Roberts examines how in these debates French society came to grips with the catastrophic horrors of the Great War.In sources as diverse as parliamentary records, newspaper articles, novels, medical texts, writings on sexology, and vocational literature, Roberts discovers a central question: how to come to terms with rapid economic, social, and cultural change and articulate a new order of social relationships. She examines the role of French trauma concerning the War in legislative efforts to ban propaganda for abortion and contraception, and explains anxieties about the decline of maternity by a crisis in gender relations that linked soldiery, virility, and paternity.Through these debates, Roberts locates the seeds of actual change. She shows how the willingness to entertain, or simply the need to condemn, nontraditional gender roles created an indecisiveness over female identity that ultimately subverted even the most conservative efforts to return to traditional gender roles and irrevocably altered the social organization of gender in postwar France.

Co-ed Combat
By: Browne, Kingsley
Published by: Sentinel
More than 155,000 female troops have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2002. And more than seventy of those women have died. While that’s a small fraction of all American casualties, those deaths exceed the number of military women who died in Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War combined. Clearly, women in combat isn’t a theoretical issue anymore. Women now fly combat aircraft and serve on warships. Even the remaining all-male corners of the military are blurring the lines in Iraq. And for many advocates, this trend is considered progress—toward a better, “gender neutral” military. Co-ed Combat makes the opposite case, based on research in anthropology, biology, history, psychology, sociology, and law, as well as military memoirs. It asks hard questions that challenge the assumptions of feminists. For instance:. • Has warfare really changed so much as to reverse the almost unanimous history of all-male armed forces?. • Are men and women really equivalent in combat skills, even leaving aside physical strength?. • Do female troops respond to traditional types of motivations?. • Can the bonds of unit cohesion form in a co-ed military unit?. • Can an all-volunteer military afford to reject women?. This is a controversial book, likely to draw a passionate response from both conservatives and liberals

Common Whores, Vertuous Women, and Loveing Wives
By: Meyers, Debra A.
Published by: Indiana University Press
Religious conflicts had a pronounced effect on women and their families in early modern England, but our understanding of that impact is limited by the restrictions that prevented the open expression of religious beliefs in the post-Reformation years. More can be gleaned by shifting our focus to the New World. By closely examining thousands of wills and other personal documents, as well as early Maryland's material culture, this transatlantic study depicts women's place in society and the ways religious values and social arrangements shaped their lives.
