Gender, Canon and Literary History The Changing Place of Nineteenth-Century German Women WritersGender, Canon and Literary History The Changing Place of Nineteenth-Century German Women Writers

It has been shown that the total number of women who published in German in the 18th and 19th centuries was approximately 3,500, but even by 1918 only a few of them were known. The reason for this lies in the selection processes to which the authors have been subjected, and it is this selection process that is the focus of the research here presented.

Framing the West: Race, Gender, and the Photographic Frontier in the Pacific NorthwestFraming the West: Race, Gender, and the Photographic Frontier in the Pacific Northwest

Girls Are Not Chicks Coloring Book

Girls Are Not Chicks Coloring BookTruly fun for all ages, this unique coloring book subversively and playfully examines the female gender stereotypes that pervade daily life. A diverse group of pictures reinforce positive gender roles throughout the book and show that girls are thinkers, creators, fighters, and healers. Some of the characters who show the new face of the feminine include Rapunzel, who now has power tools and Miss Muffet, who tells the spider off and considers a career as an arachnologist. Deconstructing the homogeneity of gender expression has never been so colorful.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human CadaversAn oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem.
For two thousand years, cadavers-some willingly, some unwittingly-have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.
