 Gender
and Discourse Language and Power in Politics, the Church
and Organisations
(Real Language Series) by Clare Walsh
Gender
and Discourse offers a critical new approach to the study
of language and gender studies. Women moving into the public
domains of power traditionally monopolised by men are creating
new identities for themselves, and the language that is
used by them and about them offers an insight into gender
roles. Clare Walsh reviews the current dominance/difference
debates, and proposes a new analytical framework which combines
the insights of critical discourse and feminist perspectives
on discourse to provide a new perspective on the role of
women in public life.

 Beauty
and the Beasts Woman, Ape and Evolution by Carole
Jahme
What
is it with female primatologists and their chimpanzees,
orangutans, and gorillas? The sheer number of women in this
field is startling, as are the dangers they risk pursuing
their beloved subjects. Fiercely dedicated and devoted,
they go to remarkable lengths to conduct their studies and
to protect their great apes from poachers, revolutions,
and human contamination.
