Fiery, feminist and funny, 'Darling, It's Me' is the first collection by Norwich-based writer and academic Alison Winch. Winch combines refreshing explorations of marriage and motherhood with re-imaginings of Chaucer's Wife of Bath and rebuttals to the 'great' (male) philosophers of the Enlightenment.
From Mean Girl to BFF, Girlfriends and Postfeminist Sisterhood explores female sociality in postfeminist popular culture. Focusing on a range of media forms, Alison Winch reveals how women are increasingly encouraged to strategically bond by controlling each other's body image through 'the girlfriend gaze'.
In Trouble, Alison Winch explores the experience of relationships: familial, sexual and spousal. She examines what it's like to care for, long for, and leave, and takes the reader in and out of the smells and textures of gardens, gambling dens and medieval pilgrimages, moving between grief and lust and humour.
