- Description
- Through an investigation of three feminist communitiesthe author shows how contemporary feminists react to the local environment currently shaping their identities, tactics, discourse, and relations with other feminist generations. By moving the analysis to the community level, Reger illustrates how feminism is simultaneously absent from the national, popular culture--'nowhere'--and diffused into the foundations of American culture--'everywhere.' Reger addresses some of the most debated topics concerning feminists in the twenty-first century. How do contemporary feminists think of the second-wave generation? Has contemporary feminism succeeded in addressing racism and classism, and created a more inclusive movement? How are contemporary feminists dealing with their legacy of gender, sex, and sexuality in a world of fluid identity and queer politics? The answers, she finds, vary by community.

- Description
- The authors place the psychology of gender in conversation with the knowledge about gender and sexuality produced in other disciplines. The authors state that gender is a social practice that is embedded in culture. This book illustrates how psychologists can make use of this way of understanding gender in a theoretical framework, researched projects, and in applied work and clinical practice. First published in Swedish in 2010 under the title 'Genus och kultur i polykologi: teorier och tillämpningar'.

- Description
- The 2012 election was supposed to be about the economy, but over the last few months it turned into a debate about sex and women’s rights. Cohen explores such topics as why Bill Clinton was impeached over a private sexual affair: how George W. Bush won the presidency by stealth: why Hillary lost to Obama: why John McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate: and what the 2012 presidential contest tells us about America today. She exposes the surprising role of right-wing women in undermining women’s rights, as well as explains how liberal men were complicit in letting it happen. Cohen uncovers the hidden history of an orchestrated, well-financed, ideologically powered shadow movement to turn back the clock on matters of gender equality and sexual freedom and how it has played a leading role in fueling America’s political wars.
