Reseña del editor:

Burning dinners, stitching "scandalous" quilts, talking "hard" in the male dominated world of rap music---Feminist Messages interprets such acts as instances of coding, or covert expressions of subversive or disturbing ideas. While coding may be either deliberated or unconscious, it is a common phenomenon in women's stories, art, and daily routines. Because it is essentially ambiguous, coding protects women from potentially dangerous responses from those who might be troubled by their messages.

Contraportada:

Explores the nature and complexity of women's coded acts. The volume focuses chiefly on North America and on women's folklore in areas ranging from mothering, housework, crafts and healing to music, ballads, and storytelling.
