  Taking a performance-centered perspective on folklore, this book challenges patriarchal assumptions of the past and rethinks old topics from a feminist perspective while opening fresh areas of research. It covers girls' games, political cartoons, quilting, Pentecostal preachers, daily housework, Egyptian goddesses, tall tales, and birth.
