| Title: "We Must Be Up and Doing" |
| Sub-title: A Reader in Early African American Feminisms |
| Edited by: Teresa C. Zackodnik |
| ISBN10-13: 155111917X : 9781551119175 |
| African American women have been â up and doingâ for their communities for as long as they have been in the United States, and their ability to resist the institution of slavery was central to the survival of African Americans. This anthology gives readers access to African American feminist thought in its foundational period by drawing together key documents from the late 1820s through the 1920s. Going beyond a focus on the â greatsâ of black feminism to include lesser known figures, â We Must Be Up and Doingâ offers a broad and contextualized look at the critical mass early black feminism achieved by including a variety of genres, such as the spiritual autobiography, the platform speech, periodical articles, pamphlets, fiction, and excerpts from convention and conference proceedings. |

| Title: A Bold Stroke for a Wife |
| By (author): Susanna Centlivre Edited by: Nancy Copeland |
| ISBN10-13: 1551110210 : 9781551110219 |
| Though critics and literary historians have always had to admit that Susanna Centlivreâ s comedies were extremely popular, they have tended to devote themselves to a search for evidence in them of supposed deficiencies of â the female pen,â and to pay as much attention to the playwrightâ s marriages and amorous liasons than to the plays themselves. Only in recent years has Centlivre come to be recognized quite straightforwardly as one of the most brilliant playwrights of her time. A Bold Stroke for a Wife is perhaps the finest example of Centlivreâ s masterful plotting of comic intrigue. The soldier Fainwell and Anne Lovely are in love, but their path to the altar is blocked by her guardians, each of whom has a different view of what sort of husband would make the right match. Fainwell resorts to disguises of social types. The play thus provides a wide range of opportunity for Centlivre to satirize Tory respectability, religious propriety and capitalist speculative greedâ and to give voice to tolerance: â tis liberty of choice that sweetens life.â Yet in the end it is Centlivreâ s comic muse that gives enduring life to the play as one of the most entertaining of eighteenth-century comedies. |

| Title: A Brief Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind |
| By (author): Neil Campbell |
| ISBN10-13: 1551116170 : 9781551116174 |
| One of the most profound philosophical problems is the nature of mind and its relationship to the body. A Brief Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind provides an introduction, written in clear language, to the various theories of the mind-body relationship, as well as a host of related philosophical discussions about mind and consciousness. The central theories, such as Cartesian Dualism, parallelism, epiphenomenalism, and supervenience among others, are presented in historical order. Their claims, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they ultimately relate to one another and to other philosophical questions are explored objectively, allowing readers to decide for themselves which theories are best. |

| Title: A Child of the Jago |
| By (author): Arthur Morrison Edited by: Diana Maltz |
| ISBN10-13: 1551119854 : 9781551119854 |
| â Learn to read and write, learn all you can, learn cunning, spare nobody and stop at nothing. â ¦ Do your devilmost â ¦ for the Jagoâ s got you!â Dicky Perrott, growing up in the notoriously criminal enclave of the Jago, listens and learns. Compelled by his familyâ s circumstances to provide for his mother and siblings, he sharpens his skills as a boy thief. Along the way, he navigates the Jagoâ s topsy-turvy ethics, vacillating between the rival messages of his mentors, a devious local fence and a righteous slum priest. Relentless in its bleakness and violence, A Child of the Jago captures the desperate struggle for survival in 1890s East London. This Broadview Edition provides the literary, socio-historical, and philosophical contexts vital to readersâ understanding and appreciation of the novel. Historical appendices include materials on eugenics, hooliganism, womenâ s sweated labor, cultural philanthropy, and the debate over the novelâ s accuracy. |

| Title: A City Girl |
| Sub-title: A Realistic Story |
| By (author): Margaret Harkness Edited by: Tabitha Sparks |
| ISBN10-13: 1554812704 : 9781554812707 |
| In April 1888, Friedrich Engels wrote a letter to the English novelist and journalist Margaret Harkness, expressing his appreciation for her first novel, A City Girl: A Realistic Story, calling it â a small work of art.â A City Girl was one of many slum novels set in the East End of London in the 1880s. It tells the story of a young East Ender, Nelly Ambrose, who is seduced and abandoned by a middle-class bureaucrat. After the birth of her child and betrayal by her family, Nelly is rescued by two outside forces: the Salvation Army and a sympathetic local man, George, who wants to marry her despite her â fallenâ status. While Nellyâ s relative passivity and social ignorance distinguish her from contemporary New Woman heroines, Harknessâ s sympathy for Nellyâ s position and refusal to judge her morally make A City Girl a fascinating and original novel. This Broadview Edition includes contemporary reviews of A City Girl along with historical documents on Londonâ s East End, fallen women in late-Victorian fiction, and reform organizations for East End women. |

| Title: A Concise Guide to Technical Communication |
| By (author): Heather Graves, Roger Graves |
| ISBN10-13: 1554815487 : 9781554815487 |
| This compact but complete guide shows that less is moreâ with fewer extraneous details getting in the way of students trying to learn on the run, it allows them to focus on the most important principles of effective technical communication. The Concise Guide takes a rhetorical approach to technical communication; instead of setting up a list of rules that should be applied uniformly to all writing situations, it introduces students to the bigger picture of how the words they write can affect the people intended to read them. Assignments and exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce and test knowledge. |

| Title: A Doll's House |
| By (author): Henrik Ibsen Edited by: L.W. Conolly |
| ISBN10-13: 1554815800 : 9781554815807 |
| This edition of one of the Western canonâ s most iconic plays brings back into print the pivotal 1890 translation by William Archer. It was this translation that was largely responsible for the huge impact that A Dollâ s House had in the English-speaking world, igniting as it did, in the words of one critic, â a firestorm of critical debate and dissentâ about marriage and womenâ s rights. Accompanying the comprehensively annotated text of the play is a substantial introduction that combines critical analysis with biographical and historical context. An extensive series of appendices provides extracts from contemporary adaptations of A Dollâ s House; writings by William Archer and Bernard Shaw about the play; reviews of early productions in London, New York, Montreal, and Sydney; contemporary documents relating to Ibsen and feminism; and views of actresses on playing the role of Nora. |

| Title: A Feminist I |
| Sub-title: Reflections from Academia |
| By (author): Christine Overall |
| ISBN10-13: 1551112191 : 9781551112190 |
| Our universities are the locus of ongoing debates over the politics of gender, of class, of disadvantage and disabilityâ and over the issue of â political correctness.â In A Feminist I Christine Overall offers wide-ranging reflections from a first-person point of view on these issues, and on the politics of the modern university itself. In doing so she continually returns to underlying epistemological concerns. What are our assumptions about the ways in which knowledge is constructed? To what degree are our perceptions shaped by our social roles and identities? In the past generation feminists have led the way in recognising the importance of such questions, and recognising too the ways in which personal experience may be an invaluable reference point in academic theory and practice. But reliance on personal experience is fraught with problems; how is one to deal with tensions between the autobiographical and the analytic? This book points the way to resolving some of those tensions, and to fruitfully sustaining others. It is a book of considerable insight, warm humanity, and genuine importance. |
