- Description
- This collection aims to think critically about agency and explore the relationship between agency and coercion in greater depth. In academic, activist, and policy circles alike, feminist work has re-focused attention onto women as agents rather than as passive victims of overwhelming structures of male institutional power, or less capable of exercising agency by virtue of their class, race, gender or culture.How does bringing agency and coercion into closer interplay impact our understanding of the two? How might the stories of feminist agency change if we locate agency and coercion on the same intellectual frame? What would it mean to disrupt the existing constellation of ideas accompanying agency so as to include coercion, subordination and oppression alongside ideas of freedom, autonomy, and independence? How do we theoretically negotiate agency and coercion in conditions of deep inequality?

- Description
- The explorations presented in this book range far beyond the range of issues often thought to constitute feminists’ concerns about global justice, such as female seclusion, genital cutting, and sex trafficking. Instead, the articles expose the gendered and racialized aspects of transnational divisions of paid and unpaid labor, class formation, taxation, migration, mental health, the so-called resource curse, and conceptualizations of violence, honor, and consent.

- Description
- In this book Enloe addresses two gendered questions: Who is taken seriously? And who gets to bestow the label “serious†on others? 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
- This book is a forum of cross-cultural communication among women from different parts of the world, as well as from different life paths. The authors try to gain insight into the following questions: Do post-transitional societies become more women-friendly as they become more democratic? Which strategies of empowerment can women use to obtain political voice and improve their everyday lives? How do they cope with traumatic experiences and memories? Women's rights activists and feminist scholars from Lithuania, Armenia, South Africa, Guatemala and the United States reflect on different practices for increasing political standing, the efficiency of different methods of dealing with gender violence and the different empowerment mechanisms of coping with trauma.

- Description
- The industrialization of prostitution and the sex trade has created a multibillion-dollar global market, involving millions of women, that makes a substantial contribution to national and global economies. This book examines how prostitution and other aspects of the sex industry have moved from being small-scale, clandestine practices to become very profitable legitimate market sectors that are being legalised and decriminalised by governments. Jeffreys demonstrates how prostitution has been globalized through an examination of the growth of pornography and its new global reach, the boom in adult shops, strip clubs and escort agencies, military prostitution and sexual violence in war, marriage and the mail order bride industry, the rise in sex tourism and trafficking in women.

- Description
- The final years of the twentieth century have produced new knowledge about women´s literacy. Building on and critiquing scholarship in literacy studies, composition studies, rhetorical theory, gender studies, postcolonial theory, and cultural studies, the contributors to this volume discuss what literacies are. Yet their strongest interest is in documenting and theorizing women´s lived experience of these literacies.They committed not just to telling stories or theorizing about them, but also to the women whose stories they report and analyze, including historical figures such as Louisa May Alcott, and Dorothy West: feminist writers of the sixties and seventies: or women in other parts of the world, such as those in Vietnam struggling with English and Japanese: or in South Africa dealing with the legacy of apartheid: or contemporary women in the mountains of North Carolina, the plains of Nebraska, and the cities of Tunisia: or old women in Korea finally telling stories of their sexual exploitation during World -War II.

- Description
- This book is about the neglect of gender and race in explanations of the Global Financial Crisis. It is also about the sexual scandals and gendered austerity policies that have relegated public debate, and the crisis itself. We need to look at the activities and the privileges of the advantaged - the 'TED women' of the crisis -- as much as the victimization of the disadvantaged - to fully grasp the interplay between gender and economy in this age of restoration .
