BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
For more than a decade, the destructive and dishonest ideology of radical feminism has flourished in North America.
In this provocative book, Neil Boyd argues that a new wave of self-described extreme feminists have been remarkably successful in reworking criminal and family law and thus transforming the rules of sexual conduct and our notions of fairness and equality, as well as undermining a socially valuable feminism. Boyd describes how U.S. radical feminists Catherine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin have been instrumental in changing Canada's obscenity law, shatters the various myths about domestic violence, and illuminates some disturbing truths behind sexual assault and sexual harrassment in today's society.
Backed up by extensive research and illustrated by stories that are chilling, Big Sister shows how extremists have changed the law in ways that threaten free speech, bring a code of Puritanism to male-female relationships, alter common-sense understandings of sexual consent, infantilize women, and jeopardize gender relations.
