- Description
- This book focuses on data available about actual trends in girls’ uses of violence, the scholars here find that by virtually any measure, incidents of girls’ violence are going down, not up. Additionally, rather than attributing girls’ violence to personality or to girls becoming “more like boys,” the contributors examine the contexts that produce violence in girls, demonstrating how addressing the unique problems that confront girls in dating relationships, families, school hallways and classrooms, and in distressed urban neighborhoods can help reduce girls’ use of violence.

- Description
- This book is an analysis of the abuses that took place at Abu Ghraib based on first-hand participant-observations of the courts - martials of Lynndie England and Sabrina Harman. It examines the trials themselves, including interactions with soldiers and defense teams, documents pertaining to the courts-martials, US government reports and photographs from Abu Ghraib, in order to challenge the view that the abuses were carried out at the hands of a few rogue soldiers. With a keen focus on gender and sexuality as prominent aspects of the abuses themselves, as well as the ways in which they were portrayed and tried, the book engages with modern feminist thought and contemporary social theory in order to analyse the manner in which the abuses were framed, whilst also exploring the various lived realities of Abu Ghraib by both prisoners and soldiers alike.

- Description
- The field of American women's writing is one characterized by innovation: scholars are discovering new authors and works, as well as new ways of historicizing this literature, rethinking contexts and categories. This book develops and challenges historical, cultural, theoretical, even polemical methods, all of which will advance the future study of American women writers – from Native Americans to postmodern communities, from individual careers to communities of writers and readers.

- Description
- High schoolviolence is often a teenage rite of passage, but there are extremes--as when a race riot at a Los Angeles campus in the spring of 2005 resulted in a police lockdown. In this book Mary Thomas interviewed 26 Latina, Armenian, Filipina, African American, and Anglo girls at that high school to gauge their responses to the campus violence. They all denounced the outbreak, calling for multicultural understanding and peaceful coexistence. However, as much as the girls want everyone to just 'get along,' they also exhibit strong racist beliefs and validate segregated social spaces on campus and beyond. How can teenagers and 'girl power' work together to empower instead of alienate multicultural groups? In her book Thomas foregrounds the role that space plays in girls' practices that perpetuate social difference, and she explains the ways we navigate the intellectual terrain between scholarship and school yard.

- Description
- This book puts incarcerated women in dialogue with scholars, artists, educators, and activists who live outside of prisons but work on issues connected to the prison industrial complex. Women make up the fastest-growing group within the U.S. prison population, yet prison scholarship largely overlooks the struggles of incarcerated women, and their voices are often silenced both in and out of the prison infrastructure. From the vantage points of those both inside and outside of prisons, this collection of essays and art illuminates many of the experiences and concerns of incarcerated women, including abuse and rape: the policing of women: incarcerated motherhood: mental health issues in prisons: incarcerated women’s artistic and cultural production: and prisons’ impact on families, health, and sexuality.

- 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)
