Meddle ...)
Publisher: KRT
Place of Publication: Ljubljana
Year of Publication: 1992
Number of pages: 160
ISBN: 86-7347-048-X
Short description: What happens to a
revolution if women "meddle" in it? is the main question posed by
the author. At the end she replaces it with the question: What happens
with politics if women meddle in it? Is "feminist politics" possible
and what are "women's" politics, as an institution already existing
in modern countries? The author was not at all concerned with the
relationship between revolution and women in order to elaborate any
perfect image of "historical events" but rather "to break uniform
images". For that reason she introduced in the relationship between
"revolutions and women" the issue of reconceptualizing the political.

Publisher: Istytut Badan Literackich
Place of Publication: Warsaw
Year of Publication: 1996
Number of Pages: ______
ISBN: ______
Short description: A study of Polish
fiction by women, including those authors who became very popular
and those who have been excluded from the cannon. Borkowska analyses
not only the most interesting novels by women but also describes how
women writers dealt with their position as women in a dependent country.
The author describes the double oppression of Polish women and their
way of dealing with it: either by rebellion more or less open, or
by more covert and secretive way of stating women's rights. Moreover,
Borkowska shows that the choice Polish women had to make was very
tragic, because what was good for the country sometimes meant their
greater oppression as women.

Title: Aktivistkinje: kako
'opismeniti' teoriju (ACTIVISTS 'Spelling out' theory)
Publisher: Centar za zenske studije
Place of Publication: Zagreb
Year: 2000
ISBN 953-97414-4-0
Short description: The book ACTIVISTS
'Spelling out' theory maps the roles and activities of women within
civil initiatives in Croatia from a self-referential position, that
is, the personal experiences of women engaged in civil society within
the last two decades. Originating as the result of the research project
Women Within Civil Initiatives, the book deals with the inscribing
of women's identity in civil/activist discourse through the questioning
of the interrelationships of activist engagement and theoretical concepts.
On the one hand, this book shows the
exceptional power of activists in civil society as the subjects of
political transformation and advocates of new cultural values; on
the other hand, it makes transparent the complex controversies of
women's identity positions, acts of engagement, gender roles, and
the strides made in the process of self-change. These multi-layered
women's voices are presented within five paradigms, that is, in a
contextual framework: identity, self-change, power, women's politics,
and values. From a feminist perspective the book ACTIVISTS challenges
the essential epistemological question: how can woman be the (self)epistemological
subject in the interconnection of her experential knowledge, theoretical
contributions and methodological explorations?
