Changing equations
This paper highlights the importance of the role of women in the economic and public sphere, and also explores the various means and steps that have been taken and further measures that can be taken to empower women and encourage entrepreneurship in developing economies such as India. This paper would thus like to bring to the fore that empowerment of women is as important to an economy as it is for their individual well-being and ultimately their liberation.- Creator

A room, a chair, and a desk
In sub-Saharan Africa, the discipline of women’s and gender studies has made dramatic inroads into the academy through the development of degree-granting undergraduate and graduate programs, the creation of research centers and institutes, and the growth of African feminist theory. Using Uganda as a case study, we can look to the oldest program of its kind in Africa to trace the birth of the discipline on the continent. The history of women’s and gender studies in Uganda speaks to ways in which the discipline in the Global South has, since its inception, been entrenched in transnational feminism and an intersectional curriculum rooted in indigenous feminisms.- Creator

Sherley Anne Williams's Dessa Rose
The author contends with this article that Sherley Anne Williams's Dessa Rose (1986) is an appeal for an American bond of sisterhood between feminists and womanists. In the process, it examines the relationship between the novel's two Black and White heroines, Dessa Rose and Ruth Sutton respectively, through the lens of Bonnie Thornton Dill's definition of sisterhood in her seminal work, Race, Class, and Gender: Prospects for an All-Inclusive Sisterhood. While discomfort and distrust encircle their first encounter in the Sutton's Glen, equality, reciprocation, and trust adorn their sisterhood in their last encounter in jail. Such a sisterhood is the aftermath of both women's realization that they are both subjects to White men's patriarchy. Williams's use of both heroines as microcosms for Black and White women addresses the widening gap in the 1980s and today between feminists and womanists for an American sisterhood in black and white.- Creator

Feminism, nationalism, and war
This paper presents a study of feminist representations of the situation in the former Yugoslavia. Feminist texts that were generated in response to the wars in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina,which appeared in both the feminist popular press and scholarly publications in English, are being looked at. By focusing on the ideological plane, seen in terms of narrative structures available for speaking and perceiving one's experience, the author seeks to examine the feminist representation of the conflict of Yugoslav nationalisms and within Yugoslav feminism itself.- Creator

How was it for you?
Author's purpose is to show that radical humanist and feminist theorising have much to offer each other. Central to this article's thesis is the oligarchic structure of international relations. The core position and borders of radical humanist theorising are examined, along with an assessment of some of the major theoretical divergences between radical humanist and feminist theorising. Areas for theoretical alliance are also located which indicate the necessity of an inter-disciplinary approach that takes into account Third World liberation and the Green movement. A review of world government literature is noted, along with a review of contemporary examples of mainstream international relations publications, which continue to avoid the feminist standpoint, or relegate feminism to a subsidiary position, and the faulty theoretical positions of Anthony Giddens and the pro-polyarchy perspective. The conclusion considers the benefits of cross-theoretical dialogue between feminist theory and radical humanist theory.- Creator

Creating an activist voice
In this paper an attempt is made to uncover the complex processes of re-storying the self in the light of contemporary feminist understandings of subjectivity and power. The author, a feminist teacher and researcher/biographer, explores some dimensions of one student's encounter during 1992-1995 at university. The narrative focus of this paper is both on student's engagement with the learning process and on the author's own experience as a feminist teacher and researcher/biographer. The paper also contains archival material in the form of essays written by the student, and the voices, real and imagined, of several of the other participants in this study. As part of the research into the ways in which the student has taken up feminist knowledges in her journey towards becoming a trade union activist.- Creator

Lost between the waves?
The author aims to explore the complexities of this cultural moment in the context of expectations implicit in the wave metaphor, as well as those written into Poland's national mythology. Polish feminism resists the chronology of 'waves' and uses styles and tactics characteristic of the third wave to achieve a typical second wave outcome. Feminists are accused of being a danger to Poland entering the EU. The government has given up women's reproductive right to get the support of the church in the referendum.- Creator
