New Feminist Research / Book Reviews
volume 24 numbers 1and 2

This issue features new developments in feminist research, as well as over 40 reviews of recently-published feminist books. Articles include Patricia Elliot's examination of resistance to feminist perspectives in the classroom, and Kyo Maclear's exploration of hybridity and multiple subject positions of writers of  "mixed race". Kirsten Johnson and Mary-Anne Kandrack reflect on the misogyny inherent in the concept of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome, and Peggy Tripp-Knowles focuses on girls and women in science. She reviews the literature and constructs a causal framework to women's full integration into the field. A critical review essay by Haideh Moghissi draws on three new books to address the complexity of women's subordination in the Middle East. This issue also includes the annual subject/author index for volume 23 (1994) of the journal, plus abstracts of Canadian feminist periodicals published in 1994.
