- Description
- History of the UK Women's Liberation Movement. Oral history testimonies power the work, tracing the arc of a feminist life from 1950s girlhoods to late life activism today. The author uses oral history as creative method, making significant use of ‘Sisterhood and After: The Women's Liberation Oral History Project’ to animate still-unresolved controversies of race, class, sexuality, disability, and feminist identity. She provides insight into iconic actions including the Miss World Protest, the fight to protect abortion rights, and the peace protest at Greenham Common. She also explores men's violence and today's demands for trans-liberation as areas of continuing feminist concern.

- Description
- The author researched the history of the debutante ritual, a highly choreographed tribal rite. It begins in England six hundred years ago when wealthy fathers needed an efficient way to find appropriate husbands for their daughters. She traces the social seasons of young women on both sides of the Atlantic (London, Philadelphia, the American South, New York), often through their own words from diaries, letters, and interviews that Richardson conducted at contemporary balls. While exploring why the debutante tradition persists - and spread to Russia, China, and others nations - the author uncovered the cultural influence on the lives of daughters and ideas of women, courtship and marriage.

- Description
- 'First, this report updates existing knowledge on this topic, which is incomplete and often contradicting. Second, this research analyses the overall European context, looking particularly into cases of the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland. To this date studies mainly focussed on the US context. Third, the report provides a clear .definition of the MOB phenomenon. For the purpose of this report, the MOB phenomenon is defined as follows: A man (the ‘Mail-Order Sponsor’) pays an international marriage agency — usually operating a website — to find a bride/wife across borders (the ‘Mail-Order Bride’), from a less developed country outside the EU. The intent is that she subsequently joins him in his country of residence (migration). .The international marriage agency profits from bringing potential partners in contact with each other and facilitating the marriage.'
