In a book that is part memoir, part personal essay, Kathleen B. Jones recounts riveting episodes in her own life that parallel Andrea O'Donnell's, a student of hers brutally murdered by her boyfriend. What emerges is a complex, hybrid tale of what Jones calls "unreasonable choices"—the kinds of choices that most of us feel we are expected to make between love and power, between care for another and care for ourselves. She provokes readers to consider the irony that our ideas and choices might prevent us from imagining and discovering social relationships of intimacy where love and power are not in conflict.

Women transforming Politics starts with the idea that the full integration of women into politics presents a radical challenge to the nature of any political system. It demonstrates on every page how the empowerment of all women necessitates fundamental political change. Here, the experiences of white, middle- and upper-class elite women are moved off center stage and the lives of poor and working-class women, women of color, and others defined as "marginal" become the focal point. Combining groundbreaking work by a new generation of scholars as well as classic essays by renowned figures, Women Transforming Politics will change forever the study of politics in the United States.

The Political Interests of Gender starts from the premise that contemporary political theory is inadequate when approached from the perspective of gender. The book indicts contemporary political analysis for its silence about or ignorance of women's interests, and challenges the hypothesis that the central concepts of political thought and its basic techniques are value neutral. The contributors go on to consider what political theory and political communities would look like if women's interests were addressed. The aim is to reconstruct methodology of political analysis to conceptualize political reality in terms of gender. This book presents a powerful argument that to consider gender as analytically distinct category in political theory involves redefining and enlarging the scope of politics, the practice of citizenship and authority, and the language of political action, as well as recognizing the political dimensions of sexuality.
