ABSTRACT

And so, dear reader, in this last chapter we give you no easy answers to the problems and issues we’ve raised, and no recipe for doing feminist research of the kind we’d like to see. We have no latterday equivalent to ‘… I married him’ because we have no ‘end’ to this book in any traditional sense. Ends are usually the point of revelation, of pronouncement, the place where untidy loose strands are tidied away and the answers to all questions given. But if we were to provide an ‘end’ of this sort we feel that it would come in one of three possible forms (or perhaps a combination of these).
