WOMEN UNDER ATTACK Porn, Plastic, and the Right AMERICAN PLASTIC: Boob Jobs, Credit Cards, and Our Quest for Perfection LAURIE ESSIG “Brings together plastic credit cards, bodies, and gender identities by telling the story of how economic insecurity has intersected with the celebrity culture and the neo- liberal ideology of choice. . . . Well-researched and original analysis.” —JULIET SCHOR, author of Plenitude DISPATCHES FROM THE ABORTION WARS: The Costs of Fanaticism to Doctors, Patients, and the Rest of Us CAROLE JOFFE “A rare and privileged look into the beleaguered world of abortion providers. I found their determination inspiring— and Joffe’s level-headed perspective deeply clarifying.” —BARBARA EHRENREICH, author of Nickel and Dimed PORNLAND: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality GAIL DINES “Dines brilliantly exposes porn’s economics, pervasive- ness, and impact with scholarship as impeccable as her tone is reasonable. This book will change your life. Ignore it at your peril.” —ROBIN MORGAN Available wherever books and ebooks are sold. www.beacon.org · www.beaconbroadside.com Billie Girl by Vickie Weaver 2009 Winner Leapfrog Literary Contest Southern Gothic to the core, Billie Girl is a gender-bending story of sexuality, deception, acceptance and euthanasia that astonishes, page after page.    G REAT BOOKS FROM ERNWOO D Ac tiivism that Wo ks GREAT BOOKS F ROM FERNWOOD Ac vism tha orksr edited b y ElizabethWhitmore , Maureen G. 9781552664117 Available June 2011 ogicall D 9781552663844 Available June 2011 The Mean Girl Motiv – N gotia ing P y 9781552662663 Ma ernity Rolls – P uttai 978155266342 4 e Wilson & Aen G.
