- Description
- This book traces the historical development of the realist singer through the café-concert and music hall and untangles her symbolic complexities in 1930s French cinema. In the figure of the realist singer the author shows the representation of femininity, class, and the urban milieu. It also provides a genealogy of female realist performance through analysis of the careers and film roles of Mistinguett, Josephine Baker, Fréhel, and Damia. Included is a select filmography.

- Description
- In this study Bolt sheds light on the differences in the area of race, class and internationalism, which flourished in an era of political reaction, economic insecurity, polarising nationalism and resurgent anti-feminism. The author reveals how the conflicts were seized upon and publicised by contemporaries, and how the activists themselves were forced to confront the increasingly complex tensions. in particular, the American and british women's movements grew further apart as British women became more conscious of American money, expectation of influence and opposition to the existence of Britain's empire.

- Description
- As demands on them intensified, the women working to provide American troops with clothing, medical supplies, and support services became increasingly aware of their key role in the war effort. Middle-class African Americans worked to desegregate voluntary associations such as the Red Cross and the USO, and institute a policy of respectability that would undercut pernicious racial stereotypes. Working-class black women began to use their indispensability in industry to leverage demands for equal employment, welfare and citizenship benefits, fair treatment on factory floors, good working conditions, and other considerations previously denied them.

- Description
- Cesare Lombroso is widely considered the founder of the field of criminology. His theory of the 'born' criminal dominated discussions of criminology in Europe and the Americas from the 1880s into the early twentieth century. .Lombroso’s research took him to police stations, prisons, and madhouses where he studied the tattoos, cranial capacities, and sexual behavior of criminals and prostitutes to establish a female criminal type. Lombroso used Darwinian evolutionary science to argue that criminal women are far more cunning and dangerous than criminal men. This volume includes extensive notes, appendices, a glossary, and more than thirty of Lombroso’s own illustrations. Nicole Hahn Rafter and Mary Gibson’s introduction, locating his theory in social context, offers a significant new interpretation of Lombroso’s place in criminology.
