Opis

This issue of Feminist Review contains a range of articles which discuss pressing contemporary issues for feminists. Shireen Hassim's analysis of gender issues in Inkatha looks at the ways in which Zulu nationalism has legitimated forms of male power through a return to tradition and the family. Lama Abnu Odeh in Post-Colonialism, Feminism and the Veil explores the complexities of her own and other women's attitudes to the veil - that most potent symbol of Islamic culture. Jane Lewis reflects in her article on the way in which the menopause and HRT have become subjects of intensive debate amongst the medical profession and social science researchers, and aims to place feminist concerns within this agenda. Jenny Morris challenges feminists to think about disability by arguing that it has never been central to the mainstream feminist agenda and that feminist analysis has an important contribution to make to the understanding of disability. Finally Anna Marie Smith addresses the concerns of the Feminists Against Pornography.
