About This Item
Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1991. 146 pages, [8] pages of plates, illustrations; 23 cm. Good+. Firm binding, gently creased spine. "Until recently, women have been noticeably absent from historical and sociological accounts of modernity. As a step toward remedying this situation, the essays gathered here challenge the continuing separation of sociological from textual analysis in cultural (and feminist) theory and inquiry. They address critically the question of women's writing, exploring the idea that women may begin to define their own lives and construct their own identities in a patriarchal culture through the very process of writing. They also present a cogent defense of a feminist cultural politics, including a politics of the body. Integrating material drawn from a variety of sources--feminist theory, cultural and literary analysis, sociology, and art history--Feminine Sentences is an original discussion of women's relationship to modern and postmodern culture. Janet Wolff's book represents a major statement of her distinctive position, and will be of interest to everyone working in the areas of cultural and literary theory, women's studies, and sociology. / Janet Wolff was until recently Reader in the Sociology of Culture and Director of the Centre for Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds. Currently she is teaching and lecturing at various institutions in the United States. She is the author of The Social Production of Art, Aesthetics and the Sociology of Art, and (co-edited with John Seed) The Culture of Capital: Art, Power and the Nineteenth-Century Middle Class." - Publisher..
