Readings in gender in Africa
The writings show how gender relations have been constructed on the African continent and reflect the changes in approach and inquiry that have been brought about as the authors consider gender identities and difference in their work. Specific themes covered here include the contestation and representation of gender, femininity and masculinity: livelihoods and life ways: gender and religion, gender and culture: gender and governance.- Creator

Girls, texts, cultures
This book focuses on girls and girlhoods, texts for and about girls, and the cultural contexts that shape girls’ experience. Contributors from disciplines such as sociology, literature, education, and gender studies combine these disciplinary approaches in novel ways with insights from international studies, postcolonial studies, game studies, and other fields. Each essay is concerned in one way or another with the politics of girlhood as they manifest in national and cultural contexts, in the everyday practices of girls, and in textual ideologies and agendas.- Creator

Vrijetijd en gender [themanummer]
Vanuit verschillende perspectieven worden steeds wisselende facetten van gender relaties op het gebied van vrijetijd en vermaak belicht: Karsten traceert vanuit historisch perspectief de ontwikkeling van vrijetijd als een aandachtsgebied zowel binnen de vrouwenbeweging als binnen vrouwenstudies: Beckers kijkt vanuit politiek perspectief terug op de laatste 25 jaar vrijetijdsonderzoek terug en constateert dat het vrijetijdsbegrip en -gedrag van vrouwen sterk afgeleid is van en tevens functioneel is voor een door mannen gedomineerd arbeidsbestel en beroepsleven: Derks beschrijft de danscultuur van Brabantse fabrieksmeisjes in het interbellum en de morele paniek die dat vermaak bij katholieke opvoeders genereerde: Burke gaat in op de tegenstrijdige beeldvorming van vrouwelijke atleten in de media: Van Nieuwkerk behandelt het vrouwelijke entertainment in Egypte: afgesloten wordt met een overzicht van feministisch georiënteerd onderzoek in vrijetijdwetenschappen.- Creator

Sexualization of girls and girlhood
This book includes the empirical research and practice stemming from the report of the American Psychological Association's Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls. Contributors discuss evidence for this phenomenon from media and marketing, to interpersonal interaction, to girls' own efforts to fashion themselves after sexualized role models around them. A variety of consequences of the sexualization of girls and girlhood--for girls themselves, for others, and for society at large--are presented. Individual chapters cover topics such as athletics as a solution and problem for the sexualization of girls, sexual harassment by peers, gendered violence, body image, adolescent girls' sexual development, and healthy sexuality for girls and young women.- Creator

The girls' history and culture reader
This book provides the readers with the most influential essays that have defined the field of American girls' history and culture. Girl-centered research is critical for a fuller understanding of women and gender, a deeper consideration of childhood and adolescence, and a greater acknowledgment of the significance of generation as a historical force in culture and society. Bringing together work from top scholars of women and youth, the book addresses topics ranging from diary writing and toys to prostitution and slavery. Covering girlhood and the relationships between girls and women, the volume tackles themes such as education, work, play, sexuality, consumption, and the body. The reader also illuminates broader nineteenth-century developments—including urbanization, industrialization, and immigration--through the often-overlooked vantage point of girls. As these essays collectively suggest, nineteenth-century girls wielded relatively little political or social power but carved out other spaces of self-expression.- Creator

HBO's girls and the awkward politics of gender, race, and privilege
This collection of essays examine the HBO program Girls. Since its premiere in 2012, the series has garnered the attention of individuals from various walks of life. The show has been described in many terms: insightful, out-of-touch, brash, sexist, racist, perverse, complex, edgy, daring, provocative. Overall, there is no doubt that Girls has firmly etched itself in the fabric of early twenty-first-century popular culture. The essays in this book examine the show from various angles including: white privilege: body image: gender: culture: race: sexuality: parental and generational attitudes: third wave feminism: hipster, indie, and urban music as it relates to Generation Y and Generation X.- Creator

The modern girl around the world
Analysis of the manifestations of the 'modern girl', who emerged as a global phenomenon in the 1920s and 1930s. The authors describe how the economic structures and cultural flows that shaped a particular form of femininity crossed national and imperial boundaries, the gendered dynamics of racial formation, and how images and ideas of the 'modern girl' were used to critique nationalist and imperial agendas.- Creator
