Gendered commodity chains
The authors look at the fundamental role of gender in global commodity chains. They challenge assumptions of global economic systems by identifying the crucial role social reproduction plays in production and by declaring the household as an important site of production. The book also addresses ways women's work can be integrated into commodity chain research, the forms women's labor takes, threats to social reproduction, the impact of indigenous and peasant households on commodity chains, the rapidly expanding arenas of global carework and sex trafficking, and finally, opportunities for worker resistance.- Creator

Family life onder de VOC
In dit boek beschrijft de auteur het optreden van de Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) in huwelijks- en gezinszaken, dat wil zeggen de interventies die het familie- en gezinsleven van haar onderdanen raakten. De VOC was daarbij gebonden aan het Rooms-Hollands recht. Maar soms dwongen de 'specifieke Indische omstandigheden' haar hiervan af te wijken, zoals in haar huwelijksrecht, haar gedoogbeleid ten aanzien van het concubinaat, de erkenning van daaruit geboren kinderen, de Indische adoptie en haar jeugdzorg.- Creator

Gender and the long postwar
This book examines gender politics during the post-World War II period and the Cold War in the United States and East and West Germany. The authors show how disruptions of older political and social patterns, exposure to new cultures, population shifts, and the rise of consumerism affected gender roles and identities. Comparing all three countries, chapters analyse the ways that gender figured into relations between victor and vanquished and shaped everyday life in both the Western and Soviet blocs. Topics include the gendering of the immediate aftermath of war: the military, politics, and changing masculinities in postwar societies: policies to restore the gender order and foster marriage and family: demobilization and the development of postwar welfare states: and debates over sexuality (gay and straight).- Creator

Home sweat home
In this collection of essays, contributors explore the construction of women as homemakers and the erasure of household labor from the middle-class home in popular representations of housework. They concentrate on such matters as the impact of second-wave feminism on families and gender relations: of popular culture—especially in film, television, magazines, and advertising—on our views of what constitutes home life and gender relations: and of changing views of sexuality and masculinity within the domestic sphere.- Creator

Socialized choices

Socialized choices
Dutch mothers display diverse labour market behaviour, though typically they work part-time, making modest use of childcare. It is generally assumed that Dutch women are free to make their own choices regarding employment. This book shows that Dutch mothers are not as free from social ties as is often believed. .The book gives insight into the social factors that influence the labour market decisions of Dutch mothers, and raises awareness to the false assumptions that continue to exist regarding employment and motherhood.- Creator

The Shriver report
This book asks-and answers-big questions. Why are millions of women financially vulnerable when others have made such great progress? Why are millions of women struggling to make ends meet even though they are hard at work? What is it about our nation-government, business, family, and even women themselves-that drives women to the financial brink? To answer these questions, three major cultural and economic changes over the past 50 years are examined in detail: Women work more outside the home, but still earn less than men. Women lead more families on their own. Women today need higher education to enter the middle class.- Creator

Sultana's tranen
Dit boek is een vervolgdeel in de reeks rond prinses Sultana. Ook dit maal waargebeurde verhalen, onder pseudoniem, die alle draaien rond het thema vrouwenrechten in Saudi-Arabië. Vrouwen hebben het lang zwaar te verduren gehad. Ze zijn nagenoeg rechteloos en worden slechts gezien als noodzaak voor het huishouden en het opvoeden van de kinderen. Mishandeling is aan de orde van de dag, vrouwen worden beschouwd als bezit van hun mannen. Pas de laatste tijd zijn er enkele verbeteringen merkbaar.- Creator
