Mixed blessings
The essays in this volume explore some of the diverse and contradictory ways that the lives of women in the Asia-Pacific region are shaped by two powerful regimes, 'religion' and 'law', and by the interactions between them. They show that for women, laws - customary, colonial. post-independence and international - and religions - indigenous or introduced, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Confucianism - have been 'a mixed blessing'. These diverse legal systems and religious doctrines and institutions have variously denied women authority and the capacity to participate fully in the public organization of social, political and religious life: they have furthermore constructed gender and familial relations in ways that subordinate women.- Creator

Storied selves
Storied Selves focuses on feminist Witches and their constructions of identities through the use of opposition and speculation as technologies of identity, particularly (post)colonial, maternal, and holistic identities. Through these identity formations, feminist Witches are invested in changing consciousness to create a just and sustainable world - an act that is fundamental to their practices of magic. The analysis draws from the two major North American traditions of feminist Witchcraft: Dianic and Reclaiming. Novels analyzed in the book are: Barbara Walker's Amazon, Cynthia Lamb's Bridid's Charge, and Starhawk's 'The fifth sacred thing'.- Creator

Women in new religions

Women in new religions
The author looks at women’s evolving place in the birth and development of new religious movements. It focuses on four disparate new religions—Mormonism, Seventh-day Adventism, The Family International, and Wicca—to illuminate their implications for gender socialization, religious leadership and participation, sexuality, and family ideals. As new religious movements emerge, they often position themselves in opposition to dominant society and assert alternative roles for women. But these religions are not monolithic: rather than defining gender in rigid and repressive terms, new religions sometimes offer possibilities to women that are not otherwise available. Vance traces expectations for women as the religions emerge, and transformation of possibilities and responsibilities for women as they mature.- Creator

Women's culture in a new era
The authors of the articles in this book ask themselves: is this a post-feminist era? Did the feminist revolution succeed? Have feminist goals become mainstream or marginalized? What do young women think about women's issues today? It is time to update what has happened in the women's world since the original volume was published. .Editor Gayle Kimball and other significant figures in the women's movement—such as Marge Piercy, Robin Morgan, and Judy Chicago—discuss these questions in chapters that address the visual arts and media, music, literature, religion, and politics. In this exploration of women's culture, these authors share their experiences and research at the dawn of the 21st century.- Creator

Teenage witches
A popular new image of Witches has arisen in recent years, due largely to popular movies and television. Here, young sexy Witches use magic and Witchcraft to gain control over their lives and fight evil. Then there is the depiction in the Harry Potter books: Witchcraft is a gift that unenlightened everyday people lack. In both types of portrayals, being a Witch is akin to being a superhero. At the other end of the spectrum, wary adults assume that Witches engage in evil practices that are misguided at best and dangerous at worst. Yet, as Berger and Ezzy show in this book the reality of their practices, beliefs, values, and motivations is very different from the sensational depictions we see in popular culture.- Creator

Gender and emotions in medieval and early modern Europe

Gender and emotions in medieval and early modern Europe
This volume argues that the ways in which emotions created states of order and disorder in medieval and early modern Europe were deeply informed by contemporary gender ideologies. Together, the essays reveal the critical roles that gender ideologies and lived, structured, and desired emotional states played in producing both stability and instability.- Creator

De heksen van Bruegel
In 1565 bracht de Antwerpse uitgever Hieronymus Cock twee gravures Pieter Bruegel de Oude uit die het beeld dat wij ons van heksen hebben gevormd voor altijd heeft bepaald. De heks zoals wij ze kennen, die op een bezem door de schoorsteen naar buiten vliegt terwijl de heksenketel in de haard staat te pruttelen en haar kat zich bij het vuur warmt, is ondenkbaar zonder Bruegels prototypes. Aan de hand van schilderijen, prenten en tekeningen, eigentijdse nieuwsbrieven en literaire bronnen maar ook processtukken en handboeken van heksenvervolgers schetst de auteur een beeld van de heks in de kunst.- Creator
