- Description
- Cecily Devereux reconsiders the extent to which McClung's enduring legacy of crusading for women's rights is founded on the ideas of British eugenicists such as Francis Galton and Caleb Saleeby and implicated in the passage of eugenical legislation in Canada. In a critical study of Painted Fires, the Pearlie Watson books, and several short stories, Devereux attempts to understand McClung's fiction in terms of its engagement with a politics of 'race' and nation and constructions of specifically 'racial' impurities that many women saw themselves as uniquely able to 'cure.'

- Description
- This collection brings together eleven essays--eight previously published and three new--that document the evolving relationship between academic feminism and political feminism as Freedman has studied and lived it. .Following an introduction that presents a map of the personal and intellectual trajectory of Freedman's work, the first section of essays, on the origins and strategies of women's activism in U.S. history, reiterates the importance of valuing women in a society that has long devalued their contributions. The second section, on the maintenance of sexual boundaries, explores the malleability of both sexual identities and sexual politics. Underlying the collection is an inquiry into the changing meanings of gender, sexuality, and politics during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries along with a concern for applying the insights of women's history broadly, from the classroom to the courthouse

- Description
- Polly Adler's 'house' was a brothel, a major site of New York City underworld activity from the 1920s through the 1940s. Adler's notorious Lexington Avenue house of prostitution functioned as a sort of social club for New York's gangsters and a variety of other celebrities, including Robert Benchley and his friend Dorothy Parker. A self-consciously literary work, A House Is Not a Home provides an informal social history of immigrant mobility, prostitution, Jewish life in New York, police dishonesty, the 'white slavery' scare of the early twentieth century, and political corruption. Adler's story fills an important gap in the history of immigrant life, urban experience, and organized crime in New York City. While most other accounts of the New York underworld focus on the lives of men, from Herbert Asbury's Gangs of New York through more recent works on Jewish and Italian gangsters, this book brings women's lives and problems to the forefront

- Description
- In this book Mandri examines the illuminating post-Revolutionary creative endeavors of Afro-Cuban women. Taking on the question of how African diaspora cultures practice remembrance, she reveals the ways in which these artists restage the confrontations between modernity and tradition. .Mandri considers the work of the poet and cultural critic Nancy Morejón, the poet Excilia Saldaña, the filmmaker Gloria Rolando, and the artists María Magdalena Campos-Pons and Belkis Ayón. In their cultural representations these women conflate the artistic, the historical, and the personal to produce a transformative image of the black woman as a forger of Cuban culture. They achieve this in several ways: by redefining autobiography as a creative expression for the convergence of the domestic and the national: by countering the eroticized image of the mulatta and by valorizing certain aesthetic and religious traditions in relation to a post modern artistic sensibility.

- Description
- Bachelorscriptie met onderzoek naar de oorzaken van de noodzaak voor nieuwe wetgeving om gemengde huwelijken juridisch beter te regelen in Nederlands-Indië en naar wat de gevolgen van deze wetgeving waren voor de betrokken echtparen aan het eind van de negentiende eeuw. Historische bronnen zijn de verslagen van de juristenvergadering in 1887 en de correspondentie, vergezeld van commentaren, over het juridische steekspel rond het wetsontwerp voor de Gemengde Huwelijken Regeling, die in 1898 in werking trad. Daarnaast wordt er gebruik gemaakt van contemporaine en secundaire literatuur. Bevat een algemene historische schets over de wetgeving wat betreft gemengde huwelijken in het Nederlands-Indië van voor 1898, en vertelt over de mogelijkheden voor 'inlanders' tot het krijgen van gelijkstelling met Europeanen. Tevens wordt het verhaal verteld van twee gemengde huwelijken van nationalistische Indonesiërs met Nederlandse vrouwen: Dr. Soetomo (1888-1938) en Everdina Johanna de Graaff-Brüring (1879-1934), en Soetan Sjahrir (1909-1966) - later minister-president van Indonesië - en Maria Duchâteau (.

- Description
- Descendants of indentured laborers who migrated from India to the Caribbean (between 1845 and 1917) identify themselves as Indian. In this book Nirjana draws on nineteenth-century travel narratives, anthropological and historical studies of Trinidad, Hindi film music, and the lyrics, performance, and reception of genres of popular music to argue that perceptions of Indian female sexuality in Trinidad have long been central to the formation and disruption of dominant narratives of nationhood, modernity, and normative sexuality in India.
