- Description
- The authors explore whether gendered cultural conceptions influence the way war is remembered and represented, both collectively and individually. The collection discusses the various roles of women during the war from resistance fighter to `German tart’ and how they were dealt with and treated in the aftermath. The chapters examine the position of Jewish victims of persecution, foreign female labourers and gay men, as well as the gendered response exhibited by the courts in post-war trials of female state police employees. The book concludes by following the struggle to bring women’s role in war and peacebuilding onto the international agenda.

- Description
- This volume considers three significant developments: the ever-changing role of women in society: a significant dissatisfaction with current dominant understandings of corporate governance, corporate law and corporate theory: and the increasing concern to establish sustainable business models globally. A range of female scholars from different disciplines interconnect these ideas in this collection of essays on female activism and the corporation, secondly on liberal attempts to include women in business leadership and, finally, on critiquing the modern focus on women as a 'fix' for ethical and unsustainable business practises which currently dominates the corporate world.

- Description
- This volume engages the issue of women’s ethnicity and makes contributions to debates about how and why women’s movements have a unifying role in African political organization and peace movements. Drawing on field research in different regions of Africa, the contributors demonstrate in their essays that women do make choices about the forms of ethnicity they embrace, creating alternatives to male-centered definitions - in some cases rejecting a specific ethnic identity in favor of an interethnic alliance, in others reinterpreting the meaning of ethnicity within gendered domains, and in others performing ethnic power in gendered ways.

- Description
- This book is based on a joint research project between the IMF and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development on gender budgeting around the world. The book summarizes prominent gender budgeting initiatives in more than 80 countries. Gender budgeting allows fiscal authorities to ensure that tax spending and policies address inequality and the advancement of women. Gender budgeting goals include increasing access to education, childcare, and health services: raising female labor force participation: and eradicating violence against women

- Description
- As homophobia and transphobia threaten to silence the voices of African lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people, this account is a testament to the resistance and unrelenting power of these communities across Africa and its diaspora. It brings together academic writings, political analysis, life testimonies, conversations, and artistic works by Africans ( Zanele Muholi ) that engage with the struggle for LGBTI liberation. The book aims to engage the audience from the perspective that various traits of identity—such as gender, race, and class—interact to contribute to social inequality.

- Description
- This book explores the complex processes of gendering institutions and the interaction between formal and informal institutions in different African countries. Previous studies focused often on women's political representation and women's individual capacities, while the role of formal and informal institutions gained less attention, especially in an African context. The book analyzes which institutions are influencing women's political representation, the disproportionate representation on the African continent and the role of institutions in explaining this uneven development.
