- Description
- In the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, the mantle of feminist elect has descended on Hillary Clinton and most mainstream feminist leaders and organizations endorse her. In this atmosphere, dissent seems tantamount to political betrayal. In this book feminists contest this simplistic reading of the candidate. A look at Hillary Clinton’s track record on welfare, Wall Street, criminal justice, education, and war reveals that she has advanced laws and policies that have done real harm to the lives of women and children across the country and the globe.

- Description
- This book engages current scholarship on women in Texas, the South, and the United States. It provides insights into Texas’s geographic position, bordering on the West and sharing a history with Mexico, while analyzing the ways in which Texas stories mirror a larger American narrative. The biographies and essays illustrate a diversity among Texas women, reflecting experiences ranging from those of dispossessed enslaved women to wealthy patrons of the arts. That history also captures the ways in which women’s lives reflect both personal autonomy and opportunities to engage in the public sphere.

- 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 asks-and answers-big questions. Why are millions of women financially vulnerable when others have made such great progress? Why are millions of women struggling to make ends meet even though they are hard at work? What is it about our nation-government, business, family, and even women themselves-that drives women to the financial brink? To answer these questions, three major cultural and economic changes over the past 50 years are examined in detail: Women work more outside the home, but still earn less than men. Women lead more families on their own. Women today need higher education to enter the middle class.
