Feminist teaching. 330 $aIn an inventive and controversial collection of essays, sociologist Susan Krieger considers the many forms of wealth, both material and emotional, that women pass on to each other. This domestic heritage-the "family silver"-is the keystone for a discussion of mother-daughter relationships, intimate relationships between lesbians, ties between students and feminist teachers, the dilemmas of women in academia as well as in the broader work world, and the importance of female separatism. Drawing on her experiences as a lesbian, a feminist, and a teacher, Krieger presents a stunning critique of higher education. She argues for acknowledging gender in all areas of women's lives and for valuing women's inner realities and outer forms of expression.Krieger has developed a distinctly feminist approach to understanding and scholarship. Her style is self-revelatory, emotional, and at the same time deeply analytical. Her essays pioneer a new method of locating, defining, and honoring female values.The Family Silver includes a thought-provoking discussion of gender roles among women, including the author's experience of being mistaken for a man; an exploration of teaching in a feminist classroom; and a description of the controversy that resulted when the author refused to allow a hostile male student to take one of her courses. Beautifully written,The Family Silver addresses issues of central concern to feminists, postmodernists, and queer theorists and encourages new insights into how gender profoundly affects us all. 606 $aWomen$zUnited States 606 $aLesbians$zUnited States 606 $aWomen college teachers$zUnited States 606 $aGender identity$zUnited States 606 $aInterpersonal relations$zUnited States 606 $aFeminist theory$zUnited States 610 $aacademia. 610 $aacademic. 610 $aanalysis. 610 $acontroversial. 610 $adomestic. 610 $aemotions. 610 $aessay collection. 610 $afamily life. 610 $afemale teachers. 610 $afeminism. 610 $afeminist studies. 610 $afeminist. 610 $agender expression. 610 $agender roles. 610 $agender studies. 610 $agender. 610 $ainterpersonal relationships. 610 $alesbians. 610 $algbtq. 610 $amaterial wealth. 610 $amental health. 610 $amother daughter. 610 $apostmodern. 610 $aqueer theory. 610 $aresearch. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $astrong women. 610 $ateaching. 610 $awealth. 610 $awomens issues. 610 $awomens studies. 615 0$aWomen 615 0$aLesbians 615 0$aWomen college teachers 615 0$aGender identity 615 0$aInterpersonal relations 615 0$aFeminist theory 676 $a305.3 700 $aKrieger$b Susan$0899088 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456005503321 996 $aThe family silver$92464694 997 $aUNINA
