- Description
- This book examines the relationship between words and images in various life-writing works produced by nineteenth to twenty-first century American and British women. It addresses the politics of images in women’s life writing, contending that the presence or absence of images is often strategic. Including a range of different forms of life writing, chapters draw on traditional (auto)biographies, travel narratives, memoirs, diaries, autofiction, cancer narratives, graphic memoirs, artistic installations, quilts and online performances, as life writing moves from page to screen and other media. The book explores a wide range of women who have crossed the boundary between text and image: painters who have become writers, novelists who have become painters, writers who hesitate between images and words, models who seize the camera, and artists who use the frame as a page.

- Description
- This book confronts the historic devaluation of lesbian-feminist politics within Anglo-American discourse and ignites a transnational and transgenerational discussion regarding the relevance of lesbian feminisms in today’s world. The writers consider the wider place of lesbian feminisms within queer theory, post-colonial feminism and the movement for LGBT rights. They consider how lesbian feminisms can contribute to discussions on intersectionality, engage with trans activism and the need for trans-inclusion, to ultimately show how lesbian feminisms can offer a transformative approach to today’s sexual and gender politics.

- Description
- This guidebook is the first architectural-design guide devoted specifically to women's works in Europe. It offers itineraries through four cities: Barcelona (Spain), Lisbon (Portugal), Paris (France), Turin (Italy), and two countries: The Netherlands and Slovenia. The selection of works showcase different types of works created or recreated by women in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: residential and industrial buildings, educational, religious, commercial and transport buildings, power stations, medical and care centres, cinemas, theatres, museums, offices and banks, sports halls and stadiums, playgrounds and gardens. Each itinerary is preceded by a description of the urban historical context and its transformations. Each work is identified with the name in English and the national language, the author(s) of the work, year(s) of creation, address and photo. All geographical sections are completed by a short biographical article on women pioneers: Maria Keil (1914-2012), Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999), Ada Bursi (1906-1996), Margaret Kropholler (1891-1966), Gizela Suklje (1909-1994). This publication is the result of the Women's creativity since the Modern Movement - MoMoWo project, that considers an issue of contemporary cultural, social and economic importance from a European and interdisciplinary perspective namely women's achievements in the design professions. These achievements are in fields including architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, landscape design, interior design, furniture and furnishing design some of which are still perceived as traditionally male professions. The contents of this book are the results of academic research that was based on archives, bibliographic sources and 'in situ', in order to analyse building structures, techniques and materials. Also avaiblable as open-access publication on the website of MoMoWo.

- Analysis of the demographic situation of the European Union (EU-28). Statistics show that the EU population is stagnating and it is expected to decline in the longer term. While the EU population is ageing as life expectancy increases, fertility rates are lower than in the past. This has serious implications for the economy, healthcare and pensions. Free movement within the EU and migration from third countries also play an important role in shaping demography in individual member states and regions. .The 'in-focus' section of the 2020 edition looks at the relationship between food and nutrition and demographic changes. It shows that, however food quality and healthier eating habits lead to higher life expectancy, the EU has to deal with and prevent the causes of diet-related chronic conditions, such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

- Analysis of the demographic situation of the European Union (EU-28). From 1960 on, the EU population grew substantially to over 500 million people. Since 2016, there is a stagnation in the population and it is expected to decline in the longer term. While the EU population is ageing as life expectancy increases, fertility rates are lower than in the past. This has serious implications for the economy, healthcare and pensions. Free movement within the EU and migration from third countries also plays an important role in shaping demography in individual member states and regions. .The 'in-focus' section of the 2017 edition focuses on health. Results suggest that despite the extra life years, some people experience limitations to their usual activity.

- Discussion note on the effects of gender-responsive fiscal policies on women’s labor participation in the last three decades. It also explores how these policies affect gender wage gaps, economic growth, income inequality and poverty in both advanced economies and low-income countries. For advanced economies, it focuses on for example reducing the cost of childcare and providing publicly financed maternity leave. For low-income countries, the note considers the impact of investing in education, providing cash transfers to poor women in the labor force and investing in infrastructure. Results show that gender-responsive fiscal policies can support female labor force participation and have important macroeconomic effects.
