- Description
- This book studies women’s legal rights during a formative period of Anglo–American history. It traces how colonists transplanted English legal institutions to America, examines the remarkable depth of women’s legal knowledge and shows how the law increasingly undermined patriarchal relationships between parents and children, masters and servants, husbands and wives.

- Description
- Women enslaved in the Americas came to bear highly gendered reputations among whites—as “scheming Jezebels,” ample and devoted “mammies,” or suffering victims of white male brutality and sexual abuse—that revealed more about the psychology of enslaving than about the courage and creativity of the women enslaved. These images of modern New World slavery contrast with the equally expressive virtual invisibility of the women enslaved in the Old—concealed in harems, represented to meddling colonial rulers as “wives” and “nieces,” taken into African families and kin-groups in subtlely nuanced fashion.

- Description
- Banned in public institutions in France and Turkey, mandatory in Saudi Arabia and Iran, no other item of clothing incites such furious reactions. The Islamic veil – a catch-all term that encompasses everything from a simple headscarf to the all-covering burqa – has, over the past decade, become a heated battleground for debates on everything from women’s rights to multiculturalism. Elizabeth Bucar goes beyond the simplistic question of whether the veil is “good” or “bad” to ask instead why it has become so politically symbolic. Cutting through the condescension and fear that typify the debate, she reveals the huge diversity of women’s experiences of veiling.

- Description
- This book aims at re-examining the issue of 'everyday resistance' through the lens of women's experiences in colonial South Asia. The overwhelming image of Indian women during the period is one of passivity, with the exception of some outstanding figures. The attempt in the present volume is to unearth a narrative of deeper and more enduring resistance offered by less extraordinary women in their daily lives. This collection of essays brings together unconventional sources such as women's songs, photographs, and embroidery, but equally from legal records, memoirs, and published work, to present women in far more assertive and/or subversive roles.

- Description
- Aan de hand van een groot aantal bronnen van volkskunst, zoals volksliedjes, mondelinge overlevering en interviews zowel als statistische gegevens en archiefmateriaal heeft de auteur de positie van vrouwen in het agrarische Hayana in Noord India onderzocht. Over een periode van honderd jaar, is de deelname van vrouwen, vooral onder de landbezittende klasse, aan het proces van productie en reproductie, de uitsluiting van vrouwen van het beheer over de aanwezige middelen en de gevolgen van de nieuwe agrarische technologie op vrouwen en hun arbeid onderzocht, evenals het verzet van de patriarchale samenleving tegen veranderingen in de positie van de vrouw, het vasthouden aan de traditionele gebruiken bij huwelijk en eigendom, door de koloniale en de postkoloniale staat en tenslotte de betrokkenheid van vrouwen zelf bij het reconstrueren van de patriarchale structuur.
