- Description
- This paper presents a study of feminist representations of the situation in the former Yugoslavia. Feminist texts that were generated in response to the wars in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina,which appeared in both the feminist popular press and scholarly publications in English, are being looked at. By focusing on the ideological plane, seen in terms of narrative structures available for speaking and perceiving one's experience, the author seeks to examine the feminist representation of the conflict of Yugoslav nationalisms and within Yugoslav feminism itself.

- Description
- This article explores the gender ideology of the Black Power movement, the participation of women, the effect of the fight against racism together with an increased level of race consciousness on gender awareness, and the cultural changes inspired by Black Power. It then analyses the emergence of a new and more radical phase of the women's movement in Trinidad in the mid to late 1970s, which led to the beginnings of a feminist discourse. It follows that development by assessing the increased consumerism spawned by the oil boom and how it conflicted with Black Power ideology and affected the gender system. The final section will examine how women and men are portrayed in newspaper advertisements, women's pages, letters, articles and other newspaper items.

- Description
- Different from the humanities and social sciences, women's and gender-specific contents in research and teaching could hardly be established in mathematics, natural and technical sciences so far. Making everything even more difficult, courses at German universities are very disciplinary and there don't exist women's studies programs so far. By comparison with the situation in the USA, students of science and engineering fields hardly get in touch with gender studies and feminist theories. Up to now the long-standing efforts for an institutionalization of feminist science studies into science and engineering departments at German universities are still scarcely successful and have just recently taken a promising turn.

- Description
- Paper about the geo-politics of race, political and therefore personal constructions of race as central to both domestic and international politics and the emergence of a world capitalist system with its attendant gender, race, class structures and inevitable wars. Colonialism was built on the pseudo-scientific racism of the nineteenth century that constructed dark skinned peoples as inferior. Author concludes that the politics of race most clearly inhibited solidarity between women.

- Description
- This paper conceptualizes 'empowerment' as the capacity of women to reduce their socioeconomic vulnerability and their dependency on their husbands or other male counterparts, in terms of their ability to become involved in income generating activities and freely spend the income thus generated: to accumulate assets over which they can have right of sale and profit: increase their contribution to household expenditure and thereby acquire a greater role in household decision-making and finally, increase their self confidence and awareness of social issues. this paper might represent a concrete idea of the processes to what extent the NGOs are working in Bangladesh for empowering the poor women.
