- Description
- This collection of historical documents presents a portrait of American women's lives in the second half of the twentieth century. The book starts with the nation's entry into World War II, and its impact on women's short- and long-term employment prospects. The post war brings social and economic developments and shifting conceptions of gender. The contributions speak to a series of topics: the ideas and changes brought about by the women's movement and other social movements, the challenges to and defense of reproductive rights. The volume's diverse voices include Lilian Smith, Rosa Parks, Dagmar Wilson, Rachel Carson, Betty Friedan, Carol Gilligan, Fannie Lou Hamer, Naomi Wolf, Anita Hill, Erica Jong, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, among many others. (Fragments) of original documents are accompanied by introductory essays and source reference.

- Description
- The essays in this volume examine some of the new issues that have arisen in French society in the last twenty years of the 20th century. In general these essays reflect the shift from the literary and psychoanalytic approaches that characterized French feminism in the 1970s, to the more social and political questions of today. Some of the topics include the 'parity' and 'PACS' debates (Pacte Civil de Solidarité, formerly known as Contrat d'Union Sociale, or Contrat d'Union Civile), the France-USA exchanges, the issue of 'multiculturalism', the new historical approaches, and the most recent trends in literature and film by women, among others.

- gender, milieu, historisch, Verenigde Staten, 19e eeuw, 20e eeuw, bundel
- Description
- The contributors explore interactions between gender and environment in history. Ranging from colonial borderlands to transnational boundaries, from mountaintop to marketplace, they focus on historical representations of humans and nature, on questions about consumption, on environmental politics and on the relations among human bodies and changing landscapes. They also challenge the the notion that men and women are essentially different creatures with biologically different destinies. Each article shows how a person or group of people in history have understood nature in gendered terms and acted accordingly.
