- Description
- The vision for this special issue on 'Women's Bodies, Gender Analysis, and Feminist Politics at the Forum Social Mundial' emerged out of experiences that co-editors Pat Willis and Laura Roskos had during and after their involvement in organizing for the Boston Social Forum (BSF), an event held in July 2004. The decision to try to discover how other women/feminists had experienced and negotiated social fora around the globe was fueled by the need to create a deeper context for understanding these experiences and emotions.

- Description
- Research implies that executive political office poses additional and different political challenges for women than legislative office. Yet, a few dozen women have accomplished their nations' highest executive office. Little research has been dedicated to the experiences of these women world leaders. This study builds profiles of the women leaders in the modern era and analyzes their background and political experiences in an effort to both identify commonalities among the women leaders and appraise the challenges they encountered on account of their sex.

- Description
- Recent research on migration, gender and remittances show distinct and disparate behaviors and practices that raise a number of questions and suggest the need for a more complete theory of migration that incorporates notions of cultural dynamics as they relate to behavior and societal outcomes. Men save to take money home and women do not, instead investing in their new local environs and purchasing durable items. Although men and women are equally likely to migrate, women remit wages and gifts to their parents' home at a significantly higher rate, and are expected to do so. However, more recently there is some evidence that gendered remittance patterns are changing, where men are possibly remitting almost as much as women.
