- This book is for men who love their partners and daughters and don't want to see them hurt or unfairly disadvantaged but can't find a way to speak out. It is for anyone who believes feminism is just an outdated 'woman's thing' and above all it is a rallying cry for men and women who still believe in a feminism that can lead to genuine and lasting equality.

- Description provided by the artist: .The image is a poster of Silvia Albert Sopale’s play No Es Pais Para Negras, which was performed in the city of Oviedo last December. The performance was organized by CODOPA, a local NGO.. .'No es país para negras' is Silvia Albert Sopale's first solo performance and probably one of the first plays written and staged by a black woman in Spain. Born in San Sebastián from Nigerian and Ecuatorial Guinean parents, she has participated in other performances such as a version of 'La casa de Bernarda Alba', 'Memories', or 'Pallasas Power', where black female subjectivity has been put at the center. .Determined to open a space for black women artists in Spain and to make female authorship visible, she introduces her play as a 'legacy' and as her way to change the world, to raise awareness and encourage reflection. It is a work that is self-referential while giving voice to African descendants in Spain, a fight against covert racism and paternalistic views on Africa. 'No es país para negras' is, as she states, a play that 'speaks of a place that is inside one's own' as she reveals her personal journey of rejection, acceptance and fight for recognition throughout her performance.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .This paper ship comes from the interactive theatre performance 'Dreamlands' of Malmö Communityteater ????? ????? ????? that took place in Malmö on 14th of July. Malmö Communityteater ????? ????? ????? is a theatre group made up of people whose identities are made to fall in so-called categories of citizen, refugee, migrant. The ones who took the stage had used their own experiences to come up with a dreamlike script, which invited the voluntary participation of the audience. I was part of the audience. Before the .performance started (now I think about it, maybe the performance had already started with this), the audience was asked to fill out a form about dreams. Dreams we had as children, dreams we realized, dreams that went wrong, right and to other directions. During the performance, the audience was asked to fold this paper in a specific way with clear directions. We all ended up with a paper ship made out of our dreams. Contrary to the popular belief, it seemed, dreams are not left behind when people risk their lives to .save their lives. They are rearranged in the shape of a ship to prolong living, they are the motor of the ship, they are the life vest and they are the driving force of it all. The ones on the stage moved around in white dresses, slowly danced through the scenes, as the audience was given yet another opportunity to process the visual-event of the refugee taking the ship, once again, but with the new suggestion to see the dream that happened before the ship happened.. .Then there was the question and answer session. The atmosphere was heavy with silence. There were some questions eventually, but you know how memories are. Selective. I remember one person within the audience asking: 'what did the white dress that you were wearing mean?'. The ones on the stage responded by saying that it is open to interpretation, and they chose not to give a definitive answer but rather asked her opinion about the meaning of the white dress. She responded by saying that she didn't .know, but some of them looked uncomfortable wearing a dress. Silence. I wondered, and still wonder, what this question means, and what it does. Feeling the need to make a connection between non-Western (assumed) men wearing a white dress and discomfort. I wonder if it was her own frustration to see them wearing a dress, which does not fit into her accumulated knowledge of what non-Western men can do and be. I wonder if it was the discomfort of her own gaze to see non-Western men in dresses. I wonder if she .indeed felt a discomfort, and fished the dress out as the reason. I wonder even if she was sure of a discomfort caused by wearing the dress, what she thought this question would do. These questions about the question are open-ended but, practically, the question ended the show. For me, this little paper ship is a reminder of this instance. The ways in which the questions we ask about gender are shaped by preconceptions, and can easily be comments in disguise with an excess of a question mark instead of opening further opportunities to share. When asked after being offered a piece of someone's dream, they can do more damage than good, to the extent that they end the show.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description provided by the artist: .The ethnographic context of my research project on sport and gender equality is a boxing academy in a city in Yorkshire, UK. Founded in the 1940s, the place is a nonprofit voluntary amateur boxing club that includes in its activities sex integrated sessions. Furthermore, it has been a platform for women and men at the competitive level. .In order to collect primary data, I have conducted selfimmersion in subcultural setting as a regular participant to the boxing place. By doing this I seek to establish “an experimental and appreciative relationship with the people” about whom I will write about (McCaughey, 1998:279). In accordance to this, Molnar points out that: “For the sake of understanding the field and rich data collection, an ethnographer often has to make some tough, potentially lifealtering choices to be able to carry out participant observation. In doing so, the researcher may have to put his/her body on the line to become an instrument of data collection.” (Molnar, 2015:3). .The objects that I am submitting in this round are contextualized in my first visit to the boxing gym. My intention with them is to represent on one side my embodiment of the field and on the other the existence of gender stereotypes not only in sportive contexts but also in our minds.. .Boxing is an urban phenomenon where violent physical contact is a key element. Historically it has been practiced by men of working classes even though nowadays women are participating in it and gender relations and identities have being challenged. Women, however, are still underrepresented and discriminated whilst men remain as role models and overall sport still produces orthodox masculinities and celebrates sex essentialist discourses. Furthermore, gender stereotypes remain. For these reasons boxing is a great field for analyzing gender in the frame of the research project “Sport as a site for the production of cultures of equality” which is part of the GRACE Work Package “Urban cultures of gender equality”.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/

- Description
- This publication asks one key question: what do we need to create stable and decent human communities that can thrive in a sustainable relationship with the larger living world? The answer of the author is feminism and a critique of patriarchy. He calls for a radical feminist challenge to institutionalized male dominance: an uncompromising rejection of men’s assertion of a right to control women’s sexuality: and a demand for an end to the violence and coercion that are at the heart of all systems of domination and subordination.

Enloe investigates the Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair and the banking crash of 2008, the subsequent recession, as well as UN peacekeeping and the ongoing Egyptian revolution. Each case study highlights the experiences of women in diverse circumstances—in banks, on the job market, in war zones, and in revolutions. The results of taking women seriously are insights into what fuels the cultures of hyper–risk taking, of sexual harassment, and the denial of women's post-war security.

- Description
- Daly has her reputation as a radical feminist with little patience for the foibles and menace of patriarchy to uphold, and in this book she does. It is a rallying cry, a feminist manifesto, enjoining women to combat their oppressors. Employing everything from quantum theory to Thomistic philosophy, Daly argues forcefully about the dangers of patriarchy while freely acknowledging that many of her critics associate the term with 'seventies feminism' and consider the entire rhetoric passe. She begs to differ and comments at length about the interconnectedness of women and ecology. The villain of her eloquent rant is George W. Bush, who she suggests epitomizes Hannah Arendt's phrase 'the banality of evil' in his dangerous politics and his vacant, arrogant persona. Calling Daly strident is an understatement, yet her contentious take on the modern world deserves to be heard.

- Prior to European colonialism, Igboland, a region in Nigeria, was a nonpatriarchal, nongendered society governed by separate but interdependent political systems for men and women. In the last one hundred fifty years, the Igbo family has undergone vast structural changes in response to a barrage of cultural forces. Critically rereading social practices and oral and written histories of Igbo women and the society, Nkiru Uwechia Nzegwu demonstrates how colonial laws, edicts, and judicial institutions facilitated the creation of gender inequality in Igbo society. Nzegwu exposes the unlikely convergence of Western feminist and African male judges’ assumptions about 'traditional' African values where women are subordinate and oppressed. Instead she offers a conception of equality based on historical Igbo family structures and practices that challenges the epistemological and ontological bases of Western feminist inquiry.

- Description
- Morocco is hailed by academics and international NGO workers as a trailblazer in women’s rights and legal reforms. Elliott examines why women’s rights advances are lauded in Morocco in theory but are not recognized in reality, despite the efforts of both Islamist and secular feminists. In Morocco, female literacy rates remain among the lowest in the region: many women are victims of gender-based violence and girls as young as twelve are still engaged to adult men. The author looks at the life of Moroccan Muslim women who, though often young and educated, find it difficult to lead a dignified life in a country where they are expected to have only one destiny: that of wife and mother.

- Description
- Political philosophers from the beginning of history have articulated the significance of beauty. Cooper argues that these writings are coded to justify patriarchal structures of power and that each epoch of global history has reflected a paradigm of beauty that rationalizes protocols of gender performance. Patriarchy is a system of knowledge that trains men to become soldiers but is now being challenged by human rights advocates and women’s rights activists.

- Description
- In the fall of 2016 those promoting patriarchal ideals saw their champion Donald Trump elected president of the United States and showed us how powerful patriarchy still is in American society and culture. This book explains how patriarchy and its embrace of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and violence are starkly visible and must be recognized and resisted. The authors offer a thesis: that gender is the pin that holds in place the structures of unjust oppression through the codes of masculinity and femininity that subvert the capacity to resist injustice. Feminism is not an issue of women only, or a battle of women versus men - it is the key ethical movement of our age.

- Description
- 'This research aims to answer questions about why Dutch women work in the church, as well as how they use or don’t use feminism in the patriarchal structure of the Protestant church. The research uses interviews from five Dutch women working in churches (three ordained ministers, two women who work generally in the church) in and around Amsterdam, as well as a wide range of literature to answer these questions. There has always been a struggle for women in the church, and it hasn’t been an easy journey, but beginning a dialogue is a way to begin change.'

- This book states that from the formation of the suffragette movement early twentieth century to the Women's march in 2017, mainstream feminism has been defined by parameters dictated by white women. It examines the history of feminism, addressing today's conversation about race, empowerment and inclusion in America. It also reveals how communities including native American, transgender, disabled and undocumented women have been overlooked and advocates for a new landscape that accounts for visibility and inclusivity.
