The changing face of feminist discourse as reflected by the career of one of its preeminent scholarsFigures of Resistance brings together the unpublished lectures and little-seen essays of internationally renowned theorist Teresa de Lauretis; spanning over twenty years of her finest work. Thirty years after the height of feminist theory; this collection invites us to reflect on the history of feminism and take a hard look at where it stands today. Selected essays include "Sexual Indifference and Lesbian Representation;" "The Lure of the Mannish Lesbian;" "Eccentric Subjects;" "Habit Changes;" "The Intractability of Desire;" and the unpublished article "Figures of Resistance." An introduction from feminist film scholar Patricia White provides an overview of the development of de Lauretiss thought and of feminist theory over past decades.

I am particulary talking about the Oxford Worlds Classic paperback edition that contains an introduction and notes by Angus Easson. The notes are absolutely fabulous! So well done and add so much to the story. Definitely the version to get. if you are considering which to buy. It is only in trade size paperback. which is a downfall. however. it is decent binding and the paper is white and heavy. We definitely would recommend this version to any fan of this novel or of the author!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book is fantastic but you have to be patientBy Daniel P.This book is fantastic but you have to be patient. Its a long ass book and if it werent for the writing being so darn fantastic. I would have quit on it half way through. If you get a chance. check out the mini TV series of Wives and Daughters.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

At times. the author tends to get a bit too detailed when introducing a character. which probably accounts for the thickness of the book. However. I finally finished reading the book which leaves the reader wondering what happens to the main characters. As the prologue indicates. the author died before she could finish the book. All in all. I would recommend this book to a fan of Victorian-era fiction.
