Book excerpt: Examines how women, who by definition are located on the margins of power, actively construct their own lives but do so within a context of structural constraints. While there is an ongoing feminist debate about the best way to understand power and resistance, the essays in this collection work to bridge the differences among contemporary perspectives by paying close attention to both structural constraints and the discursive practices through which women produce alternative, resisting meanings.
