SUMMARY
Taking a performance-centered perspective on folklore, contributors to this volume challenge patriarchal assumptions of the past and rethink old topics from a feminist perspective while opening new areas of research. In eighteen chapters the book covers girls' games, political cartoons, quilting, Pentecostal preachers, daily housework, Egyptian goddesses, tall tales, and birth. This hallmark collection of feminist folklore will be a valuable resource for scholars and other interested readers.Hollis, Susan T. is the author of 'Feminist Theory and the Study of Folklore', published 1993 under ISBN 9780252063138 and ISBN 0252063139.
