Utilising the framework of feminist philosophy\, authors Ann J. Cahill and Christine Hamel approach the phenomenon of voice as a lived\, sonorous and embodied experience marked by the social structures that surround it\, including systemic forms of injustice such as ableism\, sexism\, racism\, and classism. By developing novel theoretical constructs such as “intervocality” and “respiratory responsibility\,” Cahill and Hamel cut through the static between theory and praxis and put forward exciting theories on how human vocal sound can perpetuate — and challenge — persistent inequalities.

From sleek new cover designs you actually want on your shelf (so long\, busty corsets!) to rethinking what romance storytelling can mean\, the new romance has become one of the fast-expanding genres\, and with good reason.
