- Description
- In this No-Nonsense Guide, van der Gaag offers a status report on the women of the world by examining issues like health, poverty, politics, law, education, the environment, violence, and sexuality. And although we are not yet living in a 'post-feminist' world and change is slow in coming, it is coming. But it is easy to forget just how recently so many women's rights have been won: and how many women still face violations of their rights on a daily basis.

- Description
- Since the 1980s Chicana writers including Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo, and Alma Luz Villanueva have reworked iconic Mexican cultural symbols such as mother earth goddesses and La Llorona (the Wailing Woman of Mexican folklore), re-imagining them as powerful female figures. After reading the works of Chicana writers who created bold, powerful, and openly sexual female characters, Blake wondered how everyday Mexican American women would characterize their own lives in relation to the writers' radical reconfigurations of female sexuality and gender roles. Blake gathered oral histories from working-class and semiprofessional U.S. Mexicana women. Blake looks at how the Chicana professional intellectuals and the U.S. Mexicana women refigure confining and demeaning constructions of female gender roles and racial, ethnic, and sexual identities.

- Description
- In this anthology SallyAnn H. Ferguson presents a number of important spiritual and autobiographical writings by African American women in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. .Ferguson places the texts in an evolutionary discourse. Women of African descent were subjected to slavery, rape, and ideological derision throughout American history, in part due to deeply ingrained biological imperatives within European American men. Despite this the African-American woman has consciously developed a literary tradition based on fundamental evolutionary principles of mind and body. Authors: Maria W. Stewart (1803-1879): Jarena Lee (1783-?): Harriet E. Adams Wilson (1828?-1863?) : Harriet A. Jacobs (1813-1897): Elizabeth Keckley (1818?-1907): Frances E. Watkins Harper (1824-1911): Charlotte L. Forten Grimké (1837-1914): Anna Julia Cooper (1858-1964): Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1931): Angelina Weld Grimké (1880-1958)

De auteur vroeg zich af in .wat voor bedrijfscultuur komen deze vrouwen terechtkomen. Ze kijkt naar wat hen zo aantrekt in het leger en naar de functies die ze bekleden. Ze bekijkt hoe de vrouwen missies doorstaan en hoe zij reageren zij op geweld en confrontaties met de vijand. Margit Willems ging op zoek naar zowel de dagelijkse ervaringen van vrouwen binnen het leger als naar ondervindingen van vrouwelijke veteranen tijdens en na hun uitzending of vredesmissie.

- Description
- Exploring the contemporary dynamics of sexuality in the Middle East, this volume offers an insight into this much debated issue.It focuses on the role of sexuality in political and social struggles and the politicization of sexuality and gender in the region. Contributors illustrate the complexity of discourses, debates and issues, focusing in particular on the situation in Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Turkey, and explain how they cannot be reduced to a single underlying factor such as religion, or a simple binary opposition between the religious right and feminists.
