No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780807844717 The University of North Carolina Press

In this study of British middle-class feminism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Antoinette Burton explores an important but neglected historical dimension of the relationship between feminism and imperialism. Demonstrating how feminists in the United Kingdom appropriated imperial ideology and rhetoric to justify their own right to equality, she reveals a variety of feminisms grounded in notions of moral and racial superiority.

Off-Centre: Feminism and Cultural Studies
This anthology of new work is the first since Women Take Issue to bring together feminist theory and cultural studies. Continuing the tradition of collective scholarship from the internationally recognised Birmingham school, Off-Centre is a major contribution to recent debates in these areas. The book covers issues of long standing concern, as well as those of new significance - pop culture and the media, science and technology, Thatcherism and the Enterprise Culture. A distinctive interdisciplinary approach holds together the range of topics, and is supplemented by editors' introductions surveying recent developments in feminism and cultural studies. The volume critically addresses the relationship between feminism and cultural studies, arguing for the value of combining these approaches in the analysis of contemporary culture.
