- Description
- The reception of Ellen Semple’s (1863-1932) work, especially the book “Influences of Geographic Environment” (1911) is examined, based on archival materials and published reviews. Semple’s importance as one of the first female professional geographers in the United States is highlighted. Her thought, often described as environmental determinism, and the controversial reactions to it are discussed in the context of the history of geography as an academic field and of the traditions of human geography. Biographical information is included.

- gender, milieu, historisch, Verenigde Staten, 19e eeuw, 20e eeuw, bundel
- Description
- The contributors explore interactions between gender and environment in history. Ranging from colonial borderlands to transnational boundaries, from mountaintop to marketplace, they focus on historical representations of humans and nature, on questions about consumption, on environmental politics and on the relations among human bodies and changing landscapes. They also challenge the the notion that men and women are essentially different creatures with biologically different destinies. Each article shows how a person or group of people in history have understood nature in gendered terms and acted accordingly.

- Description
- In this publication the author locates the origins of modern American environmentalism in twentieth-century adaptations of Thomas Malthus’s concerns about population growth. Weaving together the international and the domestic, Robertson charts the explosion of Malthusian thinking in the United States from World War I to 1970, then traces the decline in concern beginning in the mid-1970s. In addition this book sheds new light on postwar American life: the rise of consumption, the growth of the federal government, urban and suburban problems, the civil rights and women’s movements, the role of scientists in a democracy, new attitudes about sex and sexuality, and the emergence of the ‘New Right’.

- Description
- Analyses of the ideas of the Swedish journalist, feminist and literary author Elin Wägner (1882–1949) in a European feminist context, which is presented in terms of three elements. Firstly, German Mathilde Vaerting and her sociology of power were important for Wägner’s theory of matriarchy. Secondly, the influence of Austrian Rosa Mayreder and her theory of masculine civilization and feminine culture are analyzed in relation to Wägner's development of what might be called an early ecological feminism. Thirdly, the Women's Organization for World Order (WOWO) is presented.

- Description
- '2015 marks the 20th anniversary of the agreement signed by 189 countries that attended the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China. Over the last two decades, Africa has made significant strides in developing progressive frameworks to advance the rights of women.This report is structured around four main sections: the first section offers an overview of the evolution of the socio-economic and political terrain within which women’s rights work has occurred. The second substantive sections summarises the key findings from the 51 state reports and the trends noted across all 51 state reports that were submitted to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). The third substantive section looks at the 12 critical areas, assessing gaps in state reporting and highlighting illustrative examples where innovation and/or where progress has occurred in specific states. These illustrations are not designed to highlight what all 51 reporting states have done in the 12 areas. The final section concludes with a set of recommendations.'
