Hogeland, Lisa Maria – Women's History Review, 1996
Traces the development of, and responses to, the sex/race analogy as a rhetorical strategy of the Women's Liberation Movement (WLM). Although originally conceived as a legitimating strategy, the analogy had serious flaws, especially for women of color. Nonetheless, the analogy remains popular, albeit, in a somewhat restructured form. (MJP)

MacNaughton, Glenda – AECA Resource Book Series, 1995
"New wave" gender theorists (those who ascribe to feminist post-structuralist theory) caution that nonsexist work with young children is likely to be unsuccessful in the long term because theories of gender and the approach to gender in the curriculum have, until now, ignored one key issue: the question of power. This booklet explores…
