- Description
- Between 1860 and 1939, thousands of poor young women from Eastern European shtetls were sold into sexual slavery by the Jewish-run Zwi Migdal crime syndicate, which controlled brothels on several continents. Focusing on three women, Vincent reconstructs the miserable lives of many of these women. One, sent to New York, saw 273 men in a two-week period. Many, unable to find support in the Jewish community—which ostracized them—committed suicide. And one, Sally Knopf, whose own uncle was a trafficker, escaped by disguising herself as a man. There is some triumph here: the Jewish prostitutes of Rio de Janeiro purchased their own cemetery in 1916 and ran their own burial society. By the time they bought their own synagogue in 1942, they had seen the demise of the Zwi Migdal gang.

- Description
- Women enslaved in the Americas came to bear highly gendered reputations among whites—as “scheming Jezebels,” ample and devoted “mammies,” or suffering victims of white male brutality and sexual abuse—that revealed more about the psychology of enslaving than about the courage and creativity of the women enslaved. These images of modern New World slavery contrast with the equally expressive virtual invisibility of the women enslaved in the Old—concealed in harems, represented to meddling colonial rulers as “wives” and “nieces,” taken into African families and kin-groups in subtlely nuanced fashion.

- Description
- The essays in this book constitute a comparative move toward defining new and unified theoretical orientations to studying representation among women. The book begins with a theoretical positioning of the meaning of women's interests, issues and preferences. It then looks at descriptive representation in political parties, high courts, and legislatures, as well as how definitions of ‘interest’ affect who represents women in legislatures and social movements. Chapters include cases from the United States, Latin America, Western Europe and Africa. Contents: 1. Dilemmas in the meaning and measurement of representation / Maria C. Escobar-Lemmon, and Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson: 2. Plotting the path from one to the other / Karen Beckwith: 3. Intersectional representation or representing intersectionality? / Ange-Marie Hancock: 4. Representing women / Drude Dahlerup: 5.

- Description
- This book chronicles the dawn of the global movement for women's rights in the first decades of the twentieth century. Marino introduces readers to Latin American and Caribbean women who forged global feminism out of an era of imperialism, racism, and fascism. Six activists form the heart of this story: from Brazil, Bertha Lutz: from Cuba, Ofelia Domingez Navarro: from Uruguay, Paulina Luisi: from Panama, Clara Gonzalez: from Chile, Marta Vergara: and from the United States, Doris Stevens. This Pan-American network drove a transnational movement that advocated women's suffrage, equal pay for equal work, maternity rights, and broader self-determination.

Strategieën om bovenstaande problemen het hoofd te bieden worden eveneens besproken.

In this study the authors explore the reasons for this unprecedented political rise of women, and what effect it has had on the region. Focusing on Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, the authors analyze national and regional indicators to evaluate various hypotheses concerning the reasons for women's electoral success in the region, as well as to make comparisons with findings from other world regions.

- This study marks a milestone in UNESCO's project on 'Women Higher Education and Development' which promotes the participation of women both in higher education itself and also in the wider arena of sustainable social development. The ultimate purpose is to ensure the implementation of the aims and objectives of the Beijing Platform of Action, adopted at the 4th World Conference on Women in 1994. This document defined an agenda for women in the 3rd millennium which is based on human rights and reaffirms their rich potential as full partners in social development. Women graduates constitute a significant group in society because their level of education ensures their empowerment in a changing world. Thus, it is logical that they should be much more present in the leadership of higher education systems and institutions, in their chosen careers and in all areas of civil society. This paper is an examination of why there are so few women in senior administrative positions in Latin American universities.

- Description
- This book retraces the steps of five lady travelers who ventured into the geography of the New World - Mexico, the Southern Cone (South America), Brazil, and the Caribbean - at a period of political anarchy following the break from Spain and the rise of modernity at the turn of the nineteenth century. Traveling as historians, social critics, ethnographers, and artists, Frances Erskine Inglis (1806–1882), Maria Graham (1785–1842), Flora Tristan (1803–1844), Fredrika Bremer (1801–1865), and Adela Breton (1849–1923) reshaped the map of nineteenth-century Latin America. Organized by themes rather than by individual authors, this book examines European women’s travels as a spectrum of narrative discourses, ranging from natural history, history, and ethnography. Women’s social condition becomes a focal point of their travels. By combining diverse genres and perspectives, women’s travel writing ushers a new vision of post-independence societies. The trope of pilgrimage conditions the female travel experience, which suggests both the meta-end of the journey as well as the broader cultural frame shaping their individual itineraries.
