In pursuit of equity
Tracing changing ideals of fairness from the 1920s to the 1970s, Kessler-Harris shows how a deeply embedded set of beliefs, or 'gendered imagination', shaped seemingly neutral social legislation to limit the freedom and equality of women. While law and custom generally sought to protect women from exploitation, and sometimes from employment itself, at the same time they assigned the most important benefits to wage work. She shows how ideas about what was fair for men as well as for women influenced old age and unemployment insurance, fair labor standards, Federal income tax policy, and the new discussion of women's rights that emerged after World War II. Only in the 1960s and 70s did this gendered imagination begin to alter.

The circle of empowerment
The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is one of the most important human rights tools ever created. Adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly, it is often described as an international bill of rights for women. These essays and personal reflections, from individuals who have served on the committee that monitors CEDAW, introduce readers to the issues and the activism. .Only a handful of countries have refused to ratify CEDAW: the United States is the only industrialized country among them. This book reveals the profound impact the convention has had on women's lives around the world and its potential to affect American women. With examples and moving reminiscences from Japan to Tunisia to the Caribbean and beyond, this collection addresses CEDAW's impact on women in Islam, labor markets, migration, violence against women, human trafficking, women in politics, and more.

De macht van het geslacht
Aandacht voor drie momenten in de relatie tussen vrouwen en de Belgische politiek: de toegang van vrouwen tot de politieke arena, de vertegenwoordiging van vrouwen en het beleid voor vrouwen. De rode draad door dit boek is de wijze waarop de visie op mannen en vrouwen, op hoe zij zijn, wat zij willen, kunnen en wat goed voor hen is, vorm geeft aan politiek en beleid. De nadruk ligt op de Belgische politieke actualiteit (o.a. quota, het alimentatiefonds, gender mainstreaming en diversiteit), maar de plaats van de vrouw in de Belgische politiek wordt ook historisch en internationaal gesitueerd.
