- Description
- Geïnspireerd door een serie schilderijen van haar vriendin Françoise Gilot schreef Lisa Alther een modern sprookje. Een succesvolle en ogenschijnlijk gelukkige man breekt radicaal met zijn verleden en verlaat zijn vrouw en zoon. Tijdens zijn reizen ontmoet hij een geheimzinnige vrouw, een danseres, die hem inwijdt in de danskunst. De auteur verbeeldt in dit verhaal thema's als liefde en geweld, verlangen en eenzaamheid en de rol van het vrouwelijke in mannen. Een parabel die volgens de auteur van toepassing is op iedere situatie waarin kennis voor wijsheid wordt versleten, en macht voor kracht. De publicatie bevat 4 afbeeldingen van schilderijen van Françoise Gilot over het thema 'de Zwerver' en een voorwoord van haar hand over haar werk, materiaalgebruik en thema's en over haar vriendschap met Lisa Alther. Daarna volgt een inleiding van Lisa Alther over haar werk als romanschrijfster, haar kennismaking met de werken van Françoise Gilot en het verhaal dat de afbeeldingen aan haar vertelden.

- Description
- This book examines how the internationalist activities and ambitions of American women’s organizations in the years 1945 to 1960 gave way to other concerns. In the emerging Cold War, American women abandoned their relationship with women from other countries in favour of solidarity with American men. Far from being advocates of internationalism, American women had become agents for Americanism. Confronting a propaganda campaign from Soviet-backed women’s organizations, American women tried to export a vision of the American way of life and of women’s proper place within it.

The idea of gender has never been taken back into its ontological source and queer theory has never been confronted with deconstruction. Along with this, the two intellectual traditions (the American and Continental thought) are compared with each other.

- Description
- From the days of the penny press to the contemporary world of social media, journalistic accounts of teen girls in trouble have been a mainstay of the U.S. news media. Often the stories represent these girls as either victims or whores, using news-gathering practices that question girls' ability to perform femininity properly, especially as they act in public recreational space. This book takes a look at working-class girls in dance halls of the early 1900s: girls' track and field teams in the 1920s to 1940s: Elvis Presley fans in the mid-1950s: punk rockers in the late 1970s and early 1980s: and girls using the Internet in the early twenty-first century. In each case, issues of gender, socioeconomic status, and race are explored within their historical context. The book argues that by marginalizing and stereotyping teen girls over the past century, mass media have perpetuated a pattern of gendered crisis that ultimately limits the cultural and political power of the young women it covers.

- This book presents a cultural analysis of social discourses and lived experiences of single women, a demographic category that census figures indicate to be the statistical «norm» in the United States and Canada and yet, it remains a group that largely sees itself as marginalized. Each chapter looks at distinct features of social constructions of female singleness and/or lived experiences of single women. The theoretical framework is grounded in a cultural analysis, not only using the concepts thematically to more clearly understand the data, but also calling into question the utility of the concepts themselves.

- Description
- This book tells the story of a generation of American and Australian women who challenged the prescriptions of their times. In the 1950s and early 60s they went to colleges and universities, trained for professions and developed a life of the mind. They were also urged to embrace their femininity, to marry young, to devote themselves to husbands and children. Could they do both? They might be seen as a privileged group and led the way for a multitude in the years ahead. They were quietly making the revolution that was to come. Sylvia Plath's letters tell of her delighted sense of life opening before her as a 'college girl'. Her poetry, however, tells of anguish, of reaching for distant goals. Drawing on interviews, reunion books, letters, biographical and autobiographical writing from both American and Australian women, this cultural history argues that the choices that faced educated women in that time led to the revolution of the late 1960s and 70s.

A study of Hollywood from Now, Voyager, The Heiress, and Flamingo Road, to Carrie, the Alien films, The Brave One, and the Slasher Horror genre, this book boldly unsettles commonplace understandings of genre film, female sexuality, and Freudian theory as it makes a case for the queer relevance of female

- Description
- The author discusses the arguments of conservative Christians against same-sex marriage.Focusing primarily on texts produced by Focus on the Family (an American organization informing conservative Christian culture), the author identifies two ideas of male homosexuality. He argues that: these homosexualities enable a complex ideal of Christian masculinity in which men are encouraged to be assertive toward the world while also being submissive toward God and family: these sexual contradiction influence the flow of power between the sexes and within the state: it joins notions of sexual equality to claims of 'natural' difference: heterosexual union is then treated as emblematic of the success of American political life. The author finally connects the desire for stability to the conservative Christian movement's strategies of political power.

- Brooks examines whether various behaviors--such as crying, acting tough, displays of anger, or knowledge gaffes--by male and female political candidates are regarded differently by the public. Refuting the idea of double standards in campaigns, Brooks's overall analysis indicates that female candidates do not get penalized disproportionately for various behaviors, nor do they face any double bind regarding femininity and toughness. Brooks also reveals that before campaigning begins, women do not start out at a disadvantage due to gender stereotypes. In fact, Brooks shows that people only make gendered assumptions about candidates who are new to politics, and those stereotypes benefit, rather than hurt, women candidates.

It addresses issues such as gender performativity, its variances depending on their historical, social and cultural contexts and the rituals, representations and institutions involved in gender performances. It demonstrates that it is impossible to consider gender as a fixed biological trait. The authors propose to look at gender performance as an ongoing process in which femininities and masculinities imply dynamic intersections with categories such as nationality, ethnicity, class, sexuality and age. With cases from South Africa, United States and Brazil.

Drawing on literary texts and cultural representations, the author shows how five black women — Mary McLeod Bethune, Rosa Parks, Condoleezza Rice, Michelle Obama and Beyoncé — have challenged white-centered definitions of American identity. By using the rhetoric of motherhood and focusing on families and children, these leaders have defied racist images of black women, such as the mammy or the welfare queen and rewritten scripts of femininity designed to exclude black women from civic participation.

- 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.

- Description
- This book examines the rhetoric and conventions of 'camp' in contemporary popular culture and the ways it both subverts and is co-opted by mainstream ideology and discourse, especially as it pertains to issues of gender and sexuality.Camp has long been aligned with gay male culture and performance. Shugart and Waggoner contend that camp in the popular media - whether visual, dramatic, or musical - is equally pervasive. While aesthetic and performative in nature, the authors argue that camp - female camp in particular - is also highly political and that conventions of femininity and female sexuality are negotiated, if not always resisted, in female camp performances.The authors draw on a wide range of references and figures representative of camp, both historical and contemporary, in presenting the evolution of female camp and its negotiation of gender, political, and identity issues. Antecedents such as Joan Crawford, Wonder Woman, Marilyn Monroe, and Pam Grier are discussed as archetypes for contemporary popular culture figures - Macy Gray, Gwen Stefani, and the characters of Xena from Xena: Warrior Princess and Karen Walker from Will and Grace.

- As contemporary Native and non-Native Americans explore various forms of 'gender bending' and gay and lesbian identities, interest has grown in 'berdaches,' the womanly men and manly women who existed in many Native American tribal cultures. Yet attempts to find current role models in these historical figures sometimes distort and oversimplify the historical realities. .This book provides a comprehensive study of Native American women-men and men-women across many tribal cultures and an extended time span. Sabine Lang explores such topics as their religious and secular roles: the relation of the roles of women-men and men-women to the roles of women and men in their respective societies: the ways in which gender-role change was carried out, legitimized, and explained in Native American cultures: the widely differing attitudes toward women-men and men-women in tribal cultures: and the role of these figures in Native mythology. Lang's findings challenge the apparent gender equality of the 'berdache' institution, as well as the supposed universality of concepts such as homosexuality.

- Focusing on a series of texts by nineteenth century American women - black and white, folk and elite - Piepmeier analyses the ways in which these women discursively represented the public embodiment of the private female body. She analyses the lives and texts of actress and playwright Anna Cora Mowatt, (wrote on 'sensational womanhood') Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy (on medical science and sentimental invalidism), abolitionist and feminist orator Sojourner Truth (a speech entitled 'Ar'n't I a woman'), antilynching journalist Ida B. Wells, and 'Godey's Lady's Book' editor Sarah Josepha Hale.

- Description
- In this publication the author studies evangelical protestants and their views on marriage and gender relations and how they are lived within individual families. The author compares elite evangelical prescriptions for godly family living with the day-to-day practices in conservative Protestant households. Through interviews with evangelical married couples and a study of evangelical family advice manuals, he explores the disputes and ambivalence concerning traditional gender roles and patriarchal models of family life, which derive from the tension between evangelical Protestantism as a religious subculture and the broader American secular culture in which it is embedded.

- Description
- In this examination of the political and personal state of contemporary feminism the author states that the female psyche fixates on four things: dirt, sex, envy, and vulnerability and that all the conflicts in the 'battle of the sexes' can eventually find its way back to one of these areas. She argues that feminism has failt to achieve full equality for women because of women's own ambivalence: they want feminism as well as femininity.

- Description
- Using selections from writers like Margaret Atwood, Octavia Butler, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Karen Joy Fowler, Ursula K. Le Guin, James Tiptree jr., and many others, this collection shows how the imagined worlds of science fiction create hold experiments for testing feminist hypotheses and for interpreting philosophical questions about humanity, gender, equality and more. Four main themes: Part 1, ‘Human nature and reality’, concentrates on whether there is an intrinsic difference between males and females. Part 2, ‘Dystopias: the worst of all possible worlds’, portrays misogynistic societies uncomfortably familiar to the early 21st-century reader. Part 3, ‘Separatist utopias: worlds of difference’, assembles stories that scrutinize both the virtues and vices of separatism. In Part 4, ‘Androgynous utopias: worlds of equality’, the authors create worlds that anticipate the consequences, good and bad, of perfect sexual equality in education, intelligence, capability, and reproduction.
