- Description
- The authors revisit women, first interviewed a decade earlier in Pamela Stone’s book 'Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home' about taking a career break of high-level jobs to raise children. They talk about the challenges when they return to work. Most succeed, but not in their former white-collar jobs due to the lack of flexibility in hours, but in lower-paid jobs in the gig economy or predominantly female nonprofit sector. An account of the consequences for women seeking to strike a work/life balance, how women can reinvent their careers, and the policy reforms needed in the upper strata of the labour market where patriarchy and capitalism operates.

- Description
- This book takes a look at the actions and policies of the George W. Bush administration in terms of their impact on women in the United States and abroad. A largely ignored aspect of his presidency, Bush's policies and actions have in many ways reversed or inhibited women's progress over the past three decades. While the media have focused on his opposition to abortion, Bush's less-publicized anti-feminist agenda has in fact been much more extensive. From shutting down women's offices in the government to de-funding programs that assist women, from opposing global women's rights treaties to supporting anti-feminist organizations. The author argues that Bush has opposed women's interests in multiple ways.

- Coco Fusco offers a look at women's role in the military and at America's use of torture in the War on Terror. The opening essay, 'Invasion of space by a female' takes its title from the term for the authorized military tactic and takes the form of a letter to Virginia Woolf. 'A field guide for female interrogators' guises as a CIA manual. In 'The feminist future' Fusco poses as a visitor from the US Army who, on the occasion of a gathering of preeminent women in the art world, congratulates her peers for their strategic containment of feminism. The book also includes a FBI memo that contains a description of an interrogation involving a female interrogator who made sexual advances as part of her approach to a prisoner.

- Description
- In this book Traister makes sense of a moment in American history that changed the country : the presidential election of 2008. Hillary Clinton’s improbable rise, her fall and her insistence on pushing forward straight through to her remarkable phoenix flight from the race: Sarah Palin’s attempt not only to fill the void left by Clinton, but to alter the very definition of feminism and claim some version of it for conservatives: liberal rapture over Barack Obama and the historic election of the first African-American president: the media microscope trained on Michelle Obama, harsher even than the one Hillary had endured fifteen years earlier. Meanwhile, media women like Katie Couric and Rachel Maddow altered the course of the election. What did all this mean to the millions of people who were glued to their TV sets, and for the country, its history and its future? As Traister sees it, the 2008 election was good for women. The campaign for the presidency reopened some of the most fraught American conversations—about gender, race and generational difference, about sexism on the left and feminism on the right—difficult discussions that had been left unfinished but that are crucial to further perfecting our union. The election was also shaped the perspectives of American women and men from different generations and backgrounds, altering the way that all of us will approach questions of women and power far into the future. When Clinton cried, when Palin reached for her newborn at the end of a vice presidential debate, the whole country was watching women’s history—American history—being made.

- Description
- The author maps how transnational itineraries of Indian beauty and fashion shaped South Asian American cultural identities and racialized belonging from the 1990s through the first decade of the twenty-first century. She observes how diasporic subjects engage with and respond to various encounters with Indian beauty and fashion. .She examines a range of literature, visual art, and live performance, such as novels by Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri, young adult literature, performance art by Shailja Patel, beauty and adornment practices, as well as objects of popular culture including an Indian American fashion doll, Reddy challenges fashion and beauty as a set of dematerialized, overly commodified cultural practices. She argues instead that beauty and fashion structure South Asian Americans' uneven access to social mobility, capital, and citizenship, and she demonstrates their varying capacities to produce social attachments across national, class, racial, gender, and generational divides.

Whereas previous vampire works depicted vampires as threats and outsiders to society, the Twilight series depicts the vampire characters as accepted in society, integrating their lives into mainstream society: as such, they highlight modern society’s fascination with female beauty ideals and physical beauty.

- Description
- The book tells about the cultural history of the pill in the United States and its role in societal change. It illuminates what the pill did and did not achieve during its half century on the market, based on documents and personal accounts of the early years and of today. Attention is paid to women behind the pill's success, from activists Margaret Sanger and Katherine McCormick to the women who volunteered for clinical trials. Expectations towards the pill and its actual effects are discussed, from the question of population growth to happier marriages and sexual revolution. The author notes that married women were the main consumers of the pill and that its role in so called sexual revolution may have been over-estimated. Women’s reactions to the health risks of the pill are presented as an example of new ways of questioning authority. Men's changing relationship to the pill and numerous efforts to create an oral contraceptive for men are also discussed.
