What exactly is rape? And how is it embedded in society? Hilkje Charlotte Hänel offers a philosophical exploration of the often misrepresented concept of rape in everyday life, systematically mapping out and elucidating this atrocious phenomenon. Hänel proposes a theory of rape as a social practice facilitated by ubiquitous sexist ideologies. Arguing for a normative cluster model for the concept of rape, this timely intervention improves our understanding of lived experiences of sexual violence and social relations within sexist ideologies.

The issue of sexist language has been hotly debated within feminist circles since the 1960s. Previous books have tended to regard sexism in language as easy to identify and have suggested solutions to overcome and counter sexism. Sara Mills takes a fresh and more critical look at sexism in language, and argues that even in feminist circles it has become a problematic concept. Drawing on conversational and textual data collected over the last ten years, and with reference to recent research carried out in a range of different academic disciplines, Mills suggests that there are two forms of sexism - overt and indirect. Overt sexism is clear and unambiguous, while indirect sexism is based on pragmatics and the meaning and interpretation of utterances. Indirect sexism is extremely common and we therefore need new ways to challenge and analyse its usage in language.

In diesem Sammelband zur Genderlinguistik werden Praktiken der sprachlichen Konstruktion von Geschlechteridentitäten aus diversen Blickwinkeln aufgezeigt. Die Beiträge, die unterschiedliche methodische und theoretische Zugänge zur Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs von Sprache und Geschlecht präsentieren, diskutieren aktuelle Fragestellungen und skizzieren neue Perspektiven zur sprachlichen Konstruktion von Geschlecht. So werden Genderinszenierungen in medialen Zusammenhängen wie auch in Face-to-Face Interaktionen aufgezeigt, Aspekte des Zusammenspiels von Sprachsystem und Sprachgebrauch diskutiert und Fragen nach aktuellen Tendenzen einer "geschlechtergerechten Sprache" aufgeworfen.

While Aristotle's writings on biology are considered to be among his best, the comments he makes about females in these works are widely regarded as the nadir of his philosophical oeuvre. Among many claims, Aristotle is said to have declared that females contribute nothing substantial to generation; that they have fewer teeth than males; that they are less spirited than males; and that woman are analogous to eunuchs. In The Female in Aristotle's Biology, Robert Mayhew aims not to defend Aristotle's ideas about females but to defend Aristotle against the common charge that his writings on female species were motivated by ideological bias. Mayhew points out that the tools of modern science and scientific experimentation were not available to the Greeks during Aristotle's time and that, consequently, Aristotle had relied not only on empirical observations when writing about living organisms but also on a fair amount of speculation. Further, he argues that Aristotle's remarks about females in his biological writings did not tend to promote the inferior status of ancient Greek women. Written with passion and precision, The Female in Aristotle's Biology will be of enormous value to students of philosophy, the history of science, and classical literature.

Uitgesproken taalseksismen hebben tegenwoordig plaats gemaakt voor eerder onderhuids seksisme. Bijna onopgemerkt blijken allerlei soorten teksten nog steeds kwalijke gedachten over de plaats en de waarde van vrouwen mee te kunnen dragen. Wat we denken, komt in ons taalgebruik terecht en de teksten die daar het resultaat van zijn, beïnvloeden weer wat we denken. Aan de hand van talloze, recente voorbeelden maakt Verbiest pijnlijk duidelijk hoezeer ons taalgebruik nog stoelt op gedachten die discriminerend zijn voor vrouwen. Voor de taalgebruikers die een dergelijke lading niet aan hun eigen teksten willen meegeven, worden zeven valkuilen besproken en eventuele remedies aangereikt.

This text engages with the Earth Mother, a complex figure recognizing the power to give life and death, and speaking to the communal destiny with all living things. Specifically, Jane Caputi rejects misogynist and colonialist stereotypes, and examines the potency of the Earth Mother in order to deepen awareness of how our relationship to the Earth went astray and what might be done to address this. She looks at contemporary narratives and artwork to consider the ways in which that potency has already reasserted itself into our political and popular culture.

Este estudio ofrece una perspectiva general sobre la comunicación no sexista, pero no se agota únicamente en este objetivo. Plantea primero la posibilidad de aparición de sesgos ideológicos en cualquier disciplina científica, Lingüística incluida, y, desde este punto de partida, sirviéndose de la noción de mito lingüístico, analiza algunos fenómenos centrales en la polémica sobre el lenguaje no sexista que constituyen el núcleo teórico de la obra: el masculino como término no marcado, el principio de arbitrariedad del lenguaje, el principio de economía lingüística y el carácter genérico del masculino. A continuación, sigue revisando otras mitologías relacionadas con este debate que se internan principalmente en el terreno del análisis del discurso, como los topoi inmanentistas o la caracterización ideológica de este asunto desde la política y la planificación lingüísticas. Este trabajo maneja bases teóricas y metodológicas muy diversas que ayudan a realizar un análisis profundo y a la vez poliédrico de la cuestión tratada y, sin perder el rigor académico, busca un tono ensayístico que facilite la comprensión de los conceptos y permita ir más allá del público especializado en lingüística.

In this timely, provocative and lively book, Sara Mills opens up the study of style to feminist inquiry. Combining insights from literary and linguistic theory, she provides a rationale for the interrogation of texts from a feminist perspective. Through an examination of both literary and non -literary texts; newspapers, pop songs and advertisements, she examines such issues as sexism, political correctness, reader positioning, agency,and meaning. Feminist Stylistics presumes no prior knowledge of either feminist or stylistic theory. Each chapter includes a short expositiory section which shows how the issue has been discussed by literary and linguistic theorists, and then goes on to provide a feminist theoretical framework or critique. It also includes an extensive bibliography and provides readers with a `tool-kit' with which to expose the gender bias of both `classic' and `popular' texts.

Lise Meitner (1878-1968) was a pioneer of nuclear physics and co-discoverer, with Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, of nuclear fission. Braving the sexism of the scientific world, she joined the prestigious Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry and became a prominent member of the international physics community. Of Jewish origin, Meitner fled Nazi Germany for Stockholm in 1938 and later moved to Cambridge, England. Her career was shattered when she fled Germany, and her scientific reputation was damaged when Hahn took full credit-and the 1944 Nobel Prize-for the work they had done together on nuclear fission. Ruth Sime's absorbing book is the definitive biography of Lise Meitner, the story of a brilliant woman whose extraordinary life illustrates not only the dramatic scientific progress but also the injustice and destruction that have marked the twentieth century.
