- Description
- Studies focusing exclusively on the connection between Arab Muslim women's educational pursuits and their gender perceptions, and how their gender perceptions may have changed as a result of living in two different cultures, are rarely conducted. Additionally, the factors that may influence an Arab Muslim woman's educational pursuits seem seldom investigated. This article is highlighting some factors that may influence Arab Muslim women's gender perceptions. In researching Arab Muslim women's experiences, I considered the diversity and multiplicity of their race, ethnicity, class, and experience. How Arab Muslim women construct the gender aspect of their identities and how these identities may have changed or shifted as a result of living in Canada and attending Canadian educational institutions is explored. The cultural and religious reproduction of gender socialization is a major part of the analysis in this article.

- 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.

Laura McCullough questions whether gender-biased contexts in a particular physics assessment, like the Force Concept Inventory, could contribute to gender gaps in performance. Dianne Newell explores the contributions of two American writers Judith Merril and Rachel Carson. Ingrid Bartsch examines the boundaries between natural and social science education by analyzing both the forms and processes of resistance.

- Description
- This article explores the gender ideology of the Black Power movement, the participation of women, the effect of the fight against racism together with an increased level of race consciousness on gender awareness, and the cultural changes inspired by Black Power. It then analyses the emergence of a new and more radical phase of the women's movement in Trinidad in the mid to late 1970s, which led to the beginnings of a feminist discourse. It follows that development by assessing the increased consumerism spawned by the oil boom and how it conflicted with Black Power ideology and affected the gender system. The final section will examine how women and men are portrayed in newspaper advertisements, women's pages, letters, articles and other newspaper items.

- Description
- This paper explores the trend of sexual violence against women that emerged in Pakistan with the introduction of the Islamization process through the implementation of the Sharia laws since 1979. The focal pont is rape and the state legislation that governs it, namely the Zina Hudood Ordinance and the Law of Evidence, and how the gender-discriminatory nature of these laws serves as a powerful weapon in the hands of the patriarchal society of Pakistan to suppress women. These laws and their rigid interpretation in the name of Islam have not only furthered oppression and sexual violence against women to an alarming degree in Pakistan, but also seriously destroyed women's chances of equal justice. The factors that led to the implementation and survival of such laws in the first place, and consequently how rape became a intimidating weapon against women, are discussed. The paper examines the various political, social, cultural and religous factors that contribute to this situation, and the legal and social complexities involved for women in seeking justice in rape cases. In conclusion Pakistani women's initiative in evolving and building an organized resistance and struggle for the cancellation of gender discriminatory laws are discussed.

- Description
- 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
- Different from the humanities and social sciences, women's and gender-specific contents in research and teaching could hardly be established in mathematics, natural and technical sciences so far. Making everything even more difficult, courses at German universities are very disciplinary and there don't exist women's studies programs so far. By comparison with the situation in the USA, students of science and engineering fields hardly get in touch with gender studies and feminist theories. Up to now the long-standing efforts for an institutionalization of feminist science studies into science and engineering departments at German universities are still scarcely successful and have just recently taken a promising turn.

- 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
- The extent of differences in roles between men and women in Kosova is examined. Kosovar men devote 57 percent of their leisure time to earned income activities (i.e., agriculture, other self-employed, and hired), and only 4 percent to housekeeping. Kosovar women, however, devote 14 percent of their time to earned income activities and 65 percent to housekeeping. There are differences across Kosova's ethnic groups, with much less rigid gender roles among ethnic Serbian than is true for ethnic Albanians. Rigidly defined gender roles result in significant inefficiencies in the economy. Ethnic Serbian Kosovars have significantly higher incomes and lower incidences of poverty than their ethnic Albanian counterparts.

- Author analysed the womens movement in East Germany, and whether an independent women's movement existed or not. The state's policy toward women was primarily aimed in the direction of mothers, and not toward women as women. The women's question was included into the social question and the class struggle, and not identified as an individual aspect of gender relations. Gradually, women began to realize that emancipation and equality meant more than employment and economic independence.

- 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.

- 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'.
