- Description
- Authors studied perceived discrimination among South Asian Muslim women living in the United States (US) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). US participants reported greater perceptions of discrimination than UAE participants. In both countries, perceived discrimination mainly took the form of subtle nuances rather than direct harassment. Although participants reported the greatest intensity of perceived discrimination at work, hijabis (women who wear the Islamic headscarf) felt this more than non-hijabis. Conversely, non-hijabis felt greater intensity of discrimination in social spaces within Muslim contexts than hijabis. Despite feeling most comfortable socializing with either Muslims or South Asians, participants felt that, aside from strangers, their greatest sources of perceived discrimination also came from within their religious or cultural groups. Discussion of perceived discrimination touches upon the social aspects of being a South Asian Muslim in a Western secular context and a globalized Islamic one.

- Description
- 'In her book Lean In, author Sheryl Sandberg made the argument that the feminist revolution was stalled and that women needed to simply lean in to get it moving again. The Impostor Phenomenon (IP) asserts that many successful people feel like frauds that will be discovered in time. Twenty-nine women in leadership were interviewed in this qualitative study, and it was discovered that the majority of them do not have impostor feelings. Their confidence can be attributed to strong relationships with mentors, romantic partners, and other women in leadership.'

- Description
- Authors analyze paid and unpaid work-time inequalities among Bolivian urban adults using time use data from a 2001 household survey. They identified a gender-based division of labor characterized not so much by who does what type of work but by how much work of each type they do. There is a trade-off between paid and unpaid work, but this trade-off is only partial: women's entry into the labor market tends to result in a double shift of paid and unpaid work. Authors also find very high levels of within-group inequality in the distributions of paid and unpaid work-time for men and women, a sign that, beyond the sexual division of labor, subgroup differentiation is also important. Using decompositions of the inequality in the distribution of total time spent at work, they show that gender plays an important role in determining the proportion of paid to unpaid work done by individuals, but it plays a lesser role in determining the higher total workload of some individuals relative to others.

Lichaamsbeeld had een positief verband met seksuele satisfactie. Zelfwaardering bleek te correleren met lichaamsbeeld en seksuele satisfactie. Deze resultaten laten zien dat de vagina meer aandacht zou moeten krijgen in onderzoek naar seksualiteit.

- Description
- Author presents a comparative analysis of the performance of men-owned and women-owned businesses. Author uses a multidimensional framework of entrepreneurial success, where the indicators refer to the financial, nonfinancial and personal goals indicated in literature as being important to entrepreneurs. Economic performance was measured as change in sales and profitability for a period of one year and over three years. Data were obtained from printing firms based in Metro Manila, Philippines, a country in Southeast Asia. That no variations attributed to gender were found in firm performance on the short-term scale further support the findings that financial goals are actually considered by Filipino women to be vital to their success. Over the longer time period of three years, female underperformance became manifest perhaps because these women possess personal and nonfinancial priorities and their growth strategies may be different.

- Description
- Three great bodies of thought have influenced western society's views and treatment of women: Judeo-Christian religious ideas, Greek philosophy and the Common Law legal code. All three traditions have, by and large, assumed patriarchy as natural: that is male domination stemming from the view of male superiority. As part of the culture perpetuated by these ideologies, violence towards women was seen as a natural expression of male dominance. This paper contains three main themes. The first establishes patriarchy as an early pattern of military societies and the subsequent emergence of the Judeo-Christian, Greek and legal cultural paradigm as ideological justification. The second provides evidence as to how the above attitudes were interwoven in European and American values. The third theme analyzes the new 18th century cultural paradigm of liberalism which rejected male dominance, lessened the manifestation of patriarchy, without removing its cultural memory, thereby, allowing violence towards women to remain.

In lesbische gezinnen kennen kinderen aan de sociale moeder opmerkelijk meer afhankelijkheidsgevoelens toe dan kinderen in heteroseksuele gezinnen die aan hun vader toekennen. In heteroseksuele gezinnen verdelen kinderen positieve gevoelens gelijkwaardiger over beide ouders dan kinderen uit lesbische gezinnen. Met Engelse samenvatting.

The focus in this paper is on a small segment of Old Testament legal texts and conceptions as well as on some similar rituals.

- Description
- The paper addresses the demographic and socioeconomic correlates of living arrangements of women aged 60 years and over in Lesotho using the 1996 Census of Lesotho data file. The results show that a majority of elderly women in the country are widows, live in the rural areas, have had little education, and dwell in extended family households of which a significant proportion of them are the head. The findings further indicate that the age of the women's surviving children, and advancing age of the elderly themselves are important factors contributing to kin coresidence of the Lesotho elderly female population. A combination of fertility decline, migration, and urbanization puts the older women in a disadvantaged position since there are fewer adult children available to provide support and care, and there is no universal non- familial social security system.

- Author's goal is to investigate the tetishistic transformation of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetry into metaphorical bodies by her nineteent-century critics. Historically men laid claim to reason by disavowing the body: within this logic women, linked to their bodies, cannot write the poets valued by Victorian literary society. However, Barret Browning did write the kind of poetry restricted to masculine imagination, and in doing this threatened to rival male contemporaries. In as much, she disavowed the ideologically marked female body.

- This is a single case study for which a life history approach was adopted. The informant, a patient suffering from anorexia nervosa (AN), was specifically selected because of her particular circumstances. Three themes emerged from her narrative that accounted for self-starvation: saving money, reserving food and competing for slenderness. The paper explores these themes and closes by emphasizing the necessity of understanding the sensitive and untold story of a patient’s self-starvation in her cultural-familial context.

- Description
- 'It’s possible to assume that women who study STEM topics (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) with a low proportion of females have successfully overcome barriers in school and the family, making them less prone to stereotypic views, and in?uences. The present study focuses on these kinds of factors and analyzes to which degree family factors, school-related factors, and individual stereotypes may in?uence a woman’s academic self-concept. The following study presents a latent regression model which is based on a survey of 296 women from different German universities, all of whom are part of STEM programs of study that have <30% females. It was investigated to which degree individual stereotypes, support in school, and family support contribute to the self-concept in STEM. Gender stereotypes were negatively related to students’ STEM-speci?c self-concept in the selected sample. This study also reveals negative family-related in?uences that lower a woman’s self-concept. Positive predictors on the other hand included school aspects that are found in the students’ favorite subjects at school. The results of the study provide important aspects for STEM education. Even though the students participating in the study presumably had good grades in STEM, stereotypes still corrupted their self-concept.'

- Author, an assistant professor at the Department of women's studies at San Diego State University, wants to position women for the future through lessons learnt from the past by recounting the history of women in Afghanistan. The focus of this paper is on the importance of rural Afghanistan in the shaping of the nation and on women's status. Author traces the history of women in Aghanistan to show that women in Afghanistan were not always oppressed by fundamentalism as occurred under the Mujahideen and the Taliban. And she also shows that women's issues were part of national construction agendas like they were already in the 1920's. Author also tries to highlight the power of tribal and community leaders in defining the role of women and in resisting any modernization that would challenge their patriarchal authority. This paper also highlights the efforts made to empower women to create a sense of nationhood.

The author argues that images of royal motherhood are staged affairs, constructed and performed as part of the Princess' main roles as dutiful and loving mother.

Gender constructs that hinder women's access to the public spheres of society lessen the possibility for equitable and empowering life conditions. Facilitating women's entry into political bodies across the world is also compromised by persistent obstacles in women's opportunities in both political and private spheres of life. This paper engages female and male panchayat members in rural Gujarat, India. The main goal is to understand how being a woman affects access to political office, experiences therein, negotiation procedures and decision taken. Facilitating female representation in local governmental structures (a panchayat) through a quota represents one of many routes toward empowerment and one potential means of improving health and household welfare. When empowerment is examined within India's panchayat quota, dimensions such as gender and corresponding perceptions, norms and conditions evidence the middle of gender as a persistent fault-line in number-based initiatives. The panchayat mirrors gendered social realities, demonstrating how complex the processes of substantial democratic political participation and women's empowerment are, in India and elsewhere.

- Description
- Paper in which the author explores cyberspace as a place where women who are struggling with anorexia can find sanctuary from the surveillance and regulatory mechanisms of control in the public sphere. Dias also explores the narratives of women who create and visit pro-ana or pro-anorexia websites in order to listen to these women's experiences of anorexia and their underlying reasons for inhabiting these spaces. Dias also looks whether women's behaviour on these websites may be considered feminist without being overtly political or overtly feminist and sees this dilemma as a central tension in third wave feminism.

- Author, pastor and foster parent to a transgender young adult, begins her exploration of Thomas from the presumption of transgender as contemporary reality. Author's use of the term includes people who want to physically alter their bodies to conform to their gendered self-understanding, as well as those who simply defy cultural gender norms. Author suggests that while the concept of unitary gender is found in some Thomas sayings, other sayings offer alternative gender constructions. Author problematizes the suggestion that unitary gender should be understood as a third gender and argues that both gender and embodiment are variously treated in this gospel. With a german abstract.

- Description
- According to the author both disabled women and non-heterosexual women are disadvantaged by mechanisms of heterosexuality, as well as by mechanisms of gender. In this sense, heterosexuality becomes the sphere of the normal. Not to be part of that sphere is to be powerless and dependant. This article draws on personal experience, and on the separate experiences of 'leaving heterosexuality' and of 'being disabled'.

- Description
- Paper with the result of an exploratory study on urban, middle-class women aged nineteen to forty-five in Nicosia, Cyprus. About half of them were involved in voluntary work or associations and groups that deal with 'women's and family issues'. Some of them have employed domestic workers from the Philippines and Sri Lanka to live in het house and either be responsible for housework, or look after their children and/or elderly. The feminist women in this study were further more tolerant of issues concerning homosexuality and sexual orientation and did not consider homosexuality as negative. This could not be said for the rest of the women. The author also pays attention to prostitution and the way women in Cyprus compare themselves with European, Russian and Asian women.
