I will not be providing an exhaustive bibliography for Hybrid Women, for reasons that I hope will become clear as the module proceeds. However, some texts will be added to this list throughout the course, and students will be encouraged to add annotated items - books and sites they find useful - during the course. Throughout the term I will also leave some books in the Centre for reading on the premises, or for short-term borrowing.
