- Description
- This article examines novels by Alix Kates Shulman, Marge Piercy and Erica Jong. These novels published in the early seventies were inspired by existentialism and Beauvoir, but reached mass audiences because they were also novels of the (hetero)sexual revolution. These texts carved out a radical terrain of subjectivity for women as they fought individually and collectively to reject a medicalised vocabulary and to discover their own sexual language

- Description
- This analysis gauges gender difference in time spent reading romance novels and sexuality. Respondents were 770 white American college students, including 436 females and 334 males, age 17–49. Males are viewed as a reference group. Drawing upon the 'plastic sexuality' thesis and feminist theory, this study hypothesizes that female readers of romance novels have higher levels of interest in sexuality (at least in the attitudes) than male readers, and non-readers but such a sexual interest is not necessarily converted into a more active sexual behavior. Most romance novels promote deeply constraining patriarchal values, reading romance novels plays a role in shaping the meaning of the self, sexual identity and attitudes and behavior relative to this patriarchy. The results indicate that due to a higher degree of plastic sexuality, female readers of romance novels self-reported greater sex drive, and greater number or orgasms required for sexual satisfaction than male readers and female non-readers. However, female readers had fewer sex partners, and were older when they first thought about sex and had their first sexual intercourse. This pattern fits the Harlequin romance characterization: female readers nourish a fulfilling sex life in the context of idealistic monogamous faithfulness, while at the same time vividly satisfying desires and sexual fantasy through fabricated characters.

- Description
- The vision for this special issue on 'Women's Bodies, Gender Analysis, and Feminist Politics at the Forum Social Mundial' emerged out of experiences that co-editors Pat Willis and Laura Roskos had during and after their involvement in organizing for the Boston Social Forum (BSF), an event held in July 2004. The decision to try to discover how other women/feminists had experienced and negotiated social fora around the globe was fueled by the need to create a deeper context for understanding these experiences and emotions.

- Description
- Description and analysis of comments written about three exhibits which are the subject of this article. Viewer response to these exhibits has been recorded in comment books, made available for written commentary with each exhibit. A large minority of the comments comprise a hostile, often obscene, debate concerning women artists, women's equality, and the role of the university as a university primarily dedicated to the education of women. This category of comments has been termed 'gender debates': that is, both misogynous comments that refer to women, sexuality and gender relations, and derogatory comments about women and feminism. Many comments in this category disparage women, art made by and about women, or constitute such responses to more thoughtful comments.

- Description
- Paper with the result of an exploratory study on urban, middle-class women aged nineteen to forty-five in Nicosia, Cyprus. About half of them were involved in voluntary work or associations and groups that deal with 'women's and family issues'. Some of them have employed domestic workers from the Philippines and Sri Lanka to live in het house and either be responsible for housework, or look after their children and/or elderly. The feminist women in this study were further more tolerant of issues concerning homosexuality and sexual orientation and did not consider homosexuality as negative. This could not be said for the rest of the women. The author also pays attention to prostitution and the way women in Cyprus compare themselves with European, Russian and Asian women.
