    Bell Hooks.
    Summary: When Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center was first published in 1984, it was welcomed and praised by feminist thinkers who wanted a new vision. Even so, individual readers frequently found the theory "unsettling" or "provocative". Today, the blueprint for feminist movement presented in the book remains as provocative and relevant as ever. Written in hook's characteristic direct style, Feminist Theory embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement. hooks is Distinguished Professor in Residence in Appalachian Studies at Berea College, and resides in her home state of Kentucky.

    Streptococcus pyogenes, group A, type 50, one of the few group A streptococcal types naturally occuring in mice, proved highly virulent in this species after experimental infection. Intranasal infection of 96 mice (Swiss albino, NMRI, and CBA) with this microorganism induced profound reactions in the cervical lymph nodes of 69% of the animals. Histologically, two different forms of reaction were distinguishable. In 61 mice, the lymph nodes exhibited follicular and lymphoplasmacellular hyperplasia and in 9 animals suppurative lymphadenitis was present. The ability of type 50 streptococci to persist in the pharynx of mice, and the similarity of the morphological changes induced by this organism appear to make intranasal murine group A, type 50, streptococcal infection a suitable model for human streptococcal pharyngitis.
