Included here is Professor Smith's essay "K is Mentally Ill", which explores the concept of mental illness as a method of reading and writing a factual account of someone becoming mentally ill. There are also essays on femininity as discourse; the social relations of description in the context of a sociological study of the news; the micro-politics of a meeting; the "structuring" of power through texts telling different versions of a confrontation between police and street people.

"Texts, Facts and Femininity" will be of interest to students of women's studies, sociology, social theory, cultural theory, communications and psychology.
