Our Current Issue
The Autumn 2017 issue of Signs features several critical feminist studies of biology and medicine, including the production of the sexual binary, epigenetics, and the uses of medical metaphors in popular culture and educational texts. The issue also contains work on reproductive politics and motherhood, including the history of the feminist collective Jane, the politics of antisurrogacy, and transnational mothering. And two articles treat gendered writing and performance in very different contexts: writing accused of “oversharing” and hip-hop subcultures. The issue also contains a series of Short Takes on Andi Zeisler’s book We Were Feminists Once.
