The female eunuch in the suburbs: reflections on adolescence, autobiography, and history-writing

Article Abstract:

Many women who were teenagers in the 1970s regard Germaine Greer's 'The Female Eunuch' as holding a central place in their personal narratives. This can be attributed to the fact that many women regard 'feminist' as a vital element of their personal identity, serving to unify their being. The book acts as a female juncture in their lives. As with Greer, many women of that generation were involved in an ongoing process of rejecting and loving their feminist 'mothers.' In their search for maternal imperfections, they will soon find the same imperfections in themselves.

Power play and party politics: the significance of raving

Article Abstract:

Several key western values are challenged by rave culture, which has become a global phenomena. Previous youth movements such as the Punks and Mods were subcultures that expressed the alienation of working-class youths, but raves attract all sorts of people irrespective of gender, class or race. Ravers are not necessarily drug users, despite government and media assumptions. Government advisers and the police believe raves should not be over-regulated, but the law remains Draconian. Ravers primarily seek excitement through dance.
