Submit a Book Review
In writing a critical review essay on a book or film for the NWSA
Journal, please keep our guidelines in mind. Reviews should:
·
briefly
summarize the book(s) or film(s)
·
evaluate
(but not censure) as well as describe
·
explain
the ways in which the works relate to other work on the subject
·
note the
extent to which the author addresses appropriate issues of race, class, and
sexual orientation as well as gender
·
assess
practical applications, especially teaching in a wide range of feminist
contexts.
Please write in a language and style
accessible to a diverse feminist readership, avoiding jargon, technical
terms, and references to literature that would be unfamiliar to those
outside specific disciplines.
Reviews must be typed in Microsoft Word and
doubled spaced with unjustified right margin. Please be sure to precede the
review with double-spaced citation(s) in the following format:

Please do not exceed your allotted word
length (one book - 1800
words; two books - 2500). Reviews that do so will be shortened by us.
