Do women and men speak different languages? Gender, Language and Discourse uniquely examines the contribution that psychological research - in particular, discursive psychology - has made to answering these questions. Until now, books on gender and language have tended to be from the sociolinguistic perspective and have focused on one of two issues - sexism in language or gender differences in speech. This book considers both issues and develops the idea that they shouldn't be viewed as mutually exclusive endeavours but rather as part of the same process - the social construction of gender. Ann Weatherall highlights the fresh insights that a social constructionist approach has made to these debates, and presents recent theoretical developments and empirical work in discursive psychology relevant to gender and language. Gender, Language and Discourse provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the gender and language field from a psychological perspective. It will be invaluable to students and researchers in social psychology, cultural studies, education, linguistic anthropology and women's studies.  Editorial Reviews  Review Weatherall writes with a passion for her subject that engages the reader. The book provides an extraordinarily user-friendly account of the relationships between biology and discourse that make an invaluable contribution to psychology and gender scholarship. - Paula Nicolson, Reader in Health Psychology, ScHARR, University of Sheffield  This is a valuable text that is very detailed and thorough in its review of the multi-disciplinary study of gender and language and the contribution of psychology. By incorporating a feminist discursive approach, Weatherall shows directions for the study of gender and language to move forward and the challenges that face it. - Precilla Choi, Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough University  About the Author Ann Weatherall is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand.

Editorial Reviews  Amazon.com Review Fay Weldon is a writer who understands the value of holding a grudge. Who can forget the years-long vengeance the heroine of her best-known book, The Life and Loves of a She-Devil, exacted on her faithless husband and the romance writer who stole him from her? Even the physical extremes to which Weldon's scorned wife goes in order to remake herself in the image of her rival--including broken bones and plastic surgery--are worth it when she finally succeeds in destroying their lives. Horrifying as the conceit might seem in real life, Weldon's fictional revenge, whether served hot or cold, is a most tasty dish. In Wicked Women, a collection of short stories, Fay Weldon continues her one-writer crusade to ensure that bad people get exactly what's coming to them.   But if Fay Weldon's stories are dark, they are also savagely satirical. In Santa Claus's New Clothes, the children of a recently divorced father have some telling questions for their not-so-nice new stepmother, who also happens to be their father's former therapist. In Not Even a Blood Relation, a mother turns the tables on her three heartless daughters in a manner sure to delight the reader. Weldon has a clear-eyed view of right and wrong--not for her are the concepts of no-fault divorce or infidelity without consequence--and in her fiction, if not in life, victims receive Fay Weldon's fierce brand of justice. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.  From Booklist Readers can always count on Weldon's fiction for sophisticated entertainment, and her latest book, a collection of short stories, will not fail them. Although not especially known for her work in the short form, she shows her usual flair for pungent delivery of social commentary. Her frank, funny, and painfully truthful stories--piquant examinations of the annoyances and even dilemmas of contemporary life--feature imaginative contexts as framework and brilliant word choice as material. In one story, a past affair rears its risky head (The past may be another country, but there are frequent international flights from there to here); in another, the relationship between a man and his long-distance mistress has changed with the times, much like the eastern European city in which she lives (a thinly disguised Prague). In yet another story, a woman's dream conjures up her grandmother, with whom she shares her fears about her marriage. This marvelously enticing collection could well bring hesitant short story readers to an appreciation of the form. Brad Hooper --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.  From Kirkus Reviews The antagonists who populate these 20 stories are indeed very wicked (no surprise to readers of Weldon's 21 novels, including Worst Fears, 1996), but they're not always women. Both sexes and all ages come in for some merry tweaking by this master of sexual satire--making this outing a familiar pleasure for old fans and a thoroughly satisfying introduction for newcomers. When Defoe Desmond's middle-aged wife confronts him about his affair in End of the Line,'' she's covered with white ash (she happens to be cleaning the fireplace), and when she kisses him she leaves the ashy mark of death on his cheek. What better indicator that it's time for Defoe to bail out with the fiendishly seductive Weena Dodds, a New Age Times journalist itching to move into the manor house? Weena is certainly evil (she specializes in married men, taking pleasure in ruining their lives and leaving them begging as she moves on to greener pastures), but there comes a day when even the cleverest siren racks up one too many enemies. On the other hand, it's sometimes the man who turns out to be cold- blooded, as in Wasted Lives,'' whose film-executive narrator casually dumps his Eastern European mistress the moment he learns that she's pregnant with his child. In Valediction,'' an aging couple's children show their true colors by trying to push said parents out of the family home. And in Through a Dustbin, Darkly,'' a ghost works her vengeance by pushing her former husband's young second wife to burn down the house they live in. Every kind of evil that lurks in the heart is gleefully explored in all its permutations here, and somehow it all ends up very cheering--wherein lies Weldon's tremendous talent. Though the stories date from as far back as 1972, and in one or two cases their age shows, there are far more hits than misses in this unsentimental education in the war between the sexes. -- Copyright  1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.  From the Back Cover With Wicked Women, Fay Weldon has created an incisive collection of stories, turning her sharp eye on love, men, therapy, and the myriad of self-deceptions we depend on. Here we meet nuclear scientist Defoe Desmond, a post-Cold War irrelevancy, who is ineptly drawn to a youthful, wily, husband-stealing New Age journalist; three sisters named Edwina, Thomasina, and Davida, who are appalled when their mother finally gives their father a male heir-two years after his death; and Paula, who keeps so still waiting to hear evidence of her husband's adultery that she does not notice she's giving birth. Weldon's world is peopled with therapists who blithely destroy marriages and family ties, husbands and lovers whose greatest cruelty is their detachment, and clever women navigating the perils and pitfalls of domesticity. Her wicked humor and seasoned wisdom are as evident here as always-and tempered by great compassion for the foibles of the human heart.   A bristling new collection of stories . . . Weldon has become one of the most cunning moral satirists of our time.-The New York Times Book Review   It is Fay Weldon's gift that the humor she writes seems to emerge unbidden from the weirdness of human nature and the inscrutable equation of the relationship between the sexes.-Chicago Tribune   A latter-day Aesop of wronged women, Fay Weldon specializes in satiric moral tales in which divine justice is granted to the abandoned wife or forsaken daughter. Weldon's wit is as sharp as ever.-People   Fay Weldon's comic shafts have never been better directed, her acid tone has never had more of the real Tabasco taste and her ironies have never been more outrageous. . . . [An] entirely satisfactory collection.-Star-Ledger Fay Weldon was born in England, raised in New Zealand, and received her M.A. in economics and psychology from St. Andrews University in Scotland. She is the author of twenty-two novels, including Big Girls Don't Cry, Worst Fears, Splitting, and The Life and Loves of a She-Devil. She lives in London. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.  From Library Journal In these 20 stories, some previously published, Weldon continues to pursue the themes of love, relationships, and family with the humor and poignancy that have made her other writings (e.g., Worst Fears, LJ 5\/15\/96) so engaging. Delivering these themes with varying degress of satire, sincerity, and subtlety, she offers intricate moments in the lives of defeated lovers, insecure cuckolds, perplexed offspring, daring widow\/ers, keen children, and underdogs who overcome the oppression of love. Weldon brings together all facets of the relationship race with a unique mastery, using sharp and cultivated prose. Recommended for all libraries. -?Judith A. Akalaitis, Chicago, Ill.

Review With the year 2000 and its tidy string of zeroes reawakening our eternal longing for conclusive endings, Weldon's wrap-ups are eloquent and absolute.

ABOUT THE BOOK In this book, the girls respond to questions about families, education, and social activities and talk about their spiritual beliefs, opinions on society and their hopes for the future. Direct quotes are interspersed with questions and summary points. By far the most consistent theme of this book is that teenage girls feel constantly judged and misunderstood by adults. Overall, the girls seem to be more inclined to introspection and depression than the boys were, and they do not have such a positive outlook on life. The girls come from a wide range of family backgrounds.. About half live with their original parents, a quarter with their step-parents and a quarter with one parent - or moving between one and the other.There is also a mixture of families where one parent is working and the other parent is home all day or works part-time; families with both parents working; and some with neither parent employed. Ethnically, approximately two-thirds of the girls were Pakeha, the rest Maori, with a few Asian and a couple from minority European cultures. About a quarter live rurally or in small towns in the Wairarapa, Hawkes Bay and Nelson areas - the others were in major cities: Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Editorial Reviews  Review At last, a new generation of women writers is addressing the powerful issues of female sexuality. I gulped this wonderful book down in one sitting, like a novel. Brava Naomi Wolf for your courage, your intelligence, your lucid prose. - Erica Jong  Refreshing ... highly evocative ... Wolf does two important things very well: reminding readers her own age what it felt like to be a teenage girl, and providing a crash course on the wildly varying cultural meanings attached to female sexuality throughout history. - The Ottawa Citizen   Naomi Wolf [is] the best writer about women and sexuality that we have. - Toronto Sun  Fascinating ... Wolf celebrates the ancient concept, heavily suppressed in the 20th century, that women are the more carnal sex. - Vancouver Courier  About the Author Naomi Wolf's first book, The Beauty Myth, was published in 14 countries (over 70,000 copies in paperback sold in Canada to date) and is an international bestseller. Her second book, Fire with Fire, was also well received by critics and readers alike. Wolf has appeared on many national talk shows and speaks to college audiences across Canada and the United States on the topic of young women and feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41812191739978,"sku":"1257p","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/1257p.jpg?v=1764203949"},{"product_id":"death-of-the-hind-legs-and-other-stories-by-john-wain-2026ac","title":"Death of the hind legs and other stories by John Wain","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41812227620938,"sku":"2026ac","price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/Book-Express-No-Image-Main_bad06179-9562-42ad-86e5-00701c04f0df.png?v=1764205119"},{"product_id":"diplomatic-ladies-new-zealands-unsung-envoy-by-joanna-woods-2027k","title":"Diplomatic Ladies: New Zealand's Unsung Envoy by Joanna Woods","description":"\u003cp\u003eDiplomatic Ladies tells the inside story of New Zealand's diplomatic wives and daughters over a hundred years of diplomacy. Based on private letters, MFAT archives and personal interviews, it records many unknown episodes in New Zealand's diplomatic history, including the part played by the spouses in Baghdad during the first Gulf War, and the perils faced by diplomatic wives in Saigon and Tehran. It also gives a unique insight into the workings of diplomatic life and the role of the diplomatic hostess. Starting with Maud Pember Reeves in 1907, the author traces the evolution of New Zealand's diplomatic service through the experiences of the women who accompanied their husbands to posts all over the world. It is a life full of interest and excitement, but in terms of family relationships and personal fulfilment, it comes at a price that many modern women are not prepared to pay. In this frank and authoritative account of what living on the cocktail party circuit is really like, the author pulls no punches about the downsides, especially the toll that it takes on the children. Nor does she shrink from recounting a few incidents in which wives or partners have been less than diplomatic. This is a collection of exciting and entertaining stories which not only shows what the wives have contributed to New Zealand's diplomacy, but also reveals the true nature of the diplomatic world.  Editorial Reviews  About the Author Joanna Woods was born in Dublin but has been based in New Zealand for many years. During her husband's diplomatic career, she has lived in Bahrain,France, Greece, Iran, Italy,the United States and Russia, where she gained her doctorate on Katherine Mansfield from Moscow State University, subsequently published as Katerina: The Russian World of Katherine Mansfield (2001).

Cash's The Mind of the South and C. Vann Woodward's The Strange Career of Jim Crow. Representing 20 years of research and writing on the history of the South, The Crucible of Race explores the large topic of Southern race relations for a span of a century and a half. Oxford is pleased to make available an abridgement of this parent volume: A Rage for Order preserves all the theme lines that were advanced in the original volume and many of the individual stories. As in Crucible of Race, Williamson here confronts the awful irony that the war to free blacks from slavery also freed racism. He examines the shift in the power base of Southern white leadership after 1850 and recounts the terrible violence done to blacks in the name of self-protection.
