George P. Allen Libri

A celebration of the revolutionary potential of women working with other women, and a powerful statement about myths like the "cool girl" or the "catty workplace" Covens. Girl Bands. Ballet troupes. Convents. In all times and places, girls and women have come together in communities of vocation, of necessity, of support. In Witches, Sam George-Allen explores how wherever women gather, magic happens. Female farmers change the way we grow our food. Online beauty communities democratize skin-care rituals. And more than any other demographic, it's teen girls that shape our culture. Patriarchal societies have long been content to champion boys' clubs, while viewing groups that exclude men as sites of rivalry and suspicion. This deeply personal investigation takes us from our workplaces to our social circles, surveying our heroes, our outcasts, and ourselves, in order to dismantle the persistent and pernicious cultural myth of female isolation and competition . . . once and for all.

G.C. Allen's first job took him to Japan in 1922, and he continued to visit the country and to study its culture up to his death in July 1982. Appointment in Japan is both a historical record of Japan in the 1920s and a study of the changes which have taken place during a critical sixty-year period. First published in 1983, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections series.
