Gender under construction
Collection of articles discussing gender, with examples of gender constructive processes within various contexts and by means of diverse methodologies. It addresses issues such as gender performativity, its variances depending on their historical, social and cultural contexts and the rituals, representations and institutions involved in gender performances. It demonstrates that it is impossible to consider gender as a fixed biological trait. The authors propose to look at gender performance as an ongoing process in which femininities and masculinities imply dynamic intersections with categories such as nationality, ethnicity, class, sexuality and age. With cases from South Africa, United States and Brazil.- Creator

The Oxford handbook of American women's and gender history
Over twenty-nine chapters, this handbook illustrates how women's and gender history can shape how we view the past, looking at how gender influenced people's lives as they participated in migration, colonialism, trade, warfare, artistic production, and community building. Theoretically cutting edge, each chapter is alive with colorful historical characters, from young Chicanas transforming urban culture, to free women of color forging abolitionist doctrines, Asian migrant women defending the legitimacy of their marriages, and transwomen fleeing incarceration. Together, their lives constitute the history of a continent.- Creator

Other chapters explore how attention to these concepts can raise questions of social justice and lead to new paths of critical engagement with labor and employment.- Creator

Political pioneer of the press
Collection of essays on the life and work of activist and journalist Ida B. Wells-Barnett (1862-1931). Known as an anti-lynching crusader, Ida B. Wells-Barnett worked throughout her life as a political advocate for the rights of women, minorities and members of the working class. This volume provides insight into communication techniques such as lecture circuits, public relations campaigns and investigative journalism, which Wells-Barnett used to combat racism and sexism and to promote social equity. Also her dual career as a journalist and political agitator, her advocacy efforts on (inter)national and local level and her role as a bridge in key social movements of the nineteenth and twentieth century, are considered.- Creator

The legacy of second-wave feminism in American politics
This book chronicles the influence of second wave feminism on everything from electoral politics to LGBTQ rights. The original descriptions of second wave feminism focused on elite, white voices, obscuring the accomplishments of many activists, as third wave feminists criticized. In this book scholars provide a more complex description of second wave feminism, in which the efforts of women from many races, classes, sexual orientations, and religious traditions, in the fight for equality have had a long-term impact on American politics.- Creator

Liminality, hybridity, and American women's literature
This book highlights the multiplicity of American women’s writing related to liminality and hybridity from its beginnings to the contemporary moment.
