- 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
- This dissertation studies state feminism in a non-western nation state. This volume focuses on the activities and roles of the Women's Bureau of the Ministry of Labour in post-World War II Japan. While state feminism theory possesses a strong capability to examine state-society relationships in terms of feminist policymaking, it tends to neglect a state's activity in improving women's status and rights in non-western nations where the feminist movements are apathetic or antagonistic to the state and where the state also creates a vertical relationship with feminist groups.

- Description
- An der Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert kämpften wissenschaftlich und politisch tätige Frauen mit dem strategischen Ziel einer Enthierarchisierung der Geschlechterverhältnisse für eine 'weibliche Individualität'. Diese versuchten sie über eine Professionalisierung der 'sozialen Hilfstätigkeit' zur 'Sozialen Arbeit' durchzusetzen. Für ein leichteres Verständnis dieses (Trans-)Formationsgeschehens entwickelt Bührmann im Anschluss an Foucault das Konzept 'Geschlechtlichkeit als Subjektivierungsweise', ohne Geschlechtlichkeit zu essentialisieren oder diskursiv aufzulösen. Die von den Frauen verfolgten diskursiven und nicht-diskursiven Praktiken rekonstruiert sie mit Hilfe einer gesellschaftstheoretischen fundierten Dispositivanalyse.

- Description
- Black describes Woolf's feminist connections and writings, including her public letters from the 1920s as well as A Society, A Room of One's Own, and the introductory letter to Life As We Have Known It. She assesses the development of Three Guineas from a 1931 lecture and the way in which the form and illustrations of the book serve as a feminist subversion of male scholarship. Black concludes with a discussion of the continuing relevance of Woolf's feminism for third-millennium politics.

- Description
- Gloria Steinem represents second-wave American feminism. This biography recounts life, one that was remarkable even prior to her association with the feminist movement. Steinem was destined to succeed and showed extraordinary strength dealing with difficult family circumstances, a peripatetic upbringing, and financial straights that forced her as a teenager to support herself and her divorced, emotionally troubled mother. Brains and talent became her tickets to Smith College, travel, journalism, and worldwide fame as a feminist icon.
