The IAW was founded in 1904 and named the 'International Woman Suffrage Alliance' (IWSA: with the German name 'Weltbund für Frauenstimmrecht'). This conference is organised by the 'Deutsche Staatsbürgerinnen-Verband e.V. (DStV), an organisation which together with the Allgemeine Deutsche Frauenverein (ADV) also played a significant and in some aspects a controversial role in the history of women's Suffrage Movement in Germany. Contributors from Germany and some other countries focus on the history of the national and international women's movement in Germany. Contributions are on comparisons of the women's movements in different countries and on international cooperation. Other contributions are on individual leading women: Marie Stritt, Meta von Salis-Marschlins, Anita Augspurg, Margarethe Hardegger, and Dorothee von Velsen. The book ends with contributions on the importance of the women's archives in Germany. With photocopies of documents from the period of restart of the DStV in 1947, especially of some correspondence of its leader Dr. Hanna Rydh.

- Description
- A critique of the popular western notion that the veil is a symbol of Muslim women's oppression. In postulating a positive theory of the hijâb, the author challenges both the commonly held view of Muslim women being subjugated by men, as well as the liberal feminists’ who criticize the choice of women to cover themselves as ultimately unliberating. The author argues that in a culture of consumerism, the hijâb can be experienced as a liberation from the tyranny of the beauty myth and the thin 'ideal' woman. In dispelling some widely held myths about Muslim women and the hijâb, the author introduces respectability to the voice of believing Muslim women, claiming that liberation and the equality of women are fundamental to Islam itself.

- Description
- The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is one of the most important human rights tools ever created. Adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly, it is often described as an international bill of rights for women. These essays and personal reflections, from individuals who have served on the committee that monitors CEDAW, introduce readers to the issues and the activism. .Only a handful of countries have refused to ratify CEDAW: the United States is the only industrialized country among them. This book reveals the profound impact the convention has had on women's lives around the world and its potential to affect American women. With examples and moving reminiscences from Japan to Tunisia to the Caribbean and beyond, this collection addresses CEDAW's impact on women in Islam, labor markets, migration, violence against women, human trafficking, women in politics, and more.

- Mason looks at the legal response to those aspects of the troubled pregnancy in the UK which require or involve medico-legal intervention. Troubled pregnancy is defined as: 'wrongful pregnancy' = pregnancy resulting from defective contraceptive advice or surgical intervention : 'wrongful birth' - which implies the birth of a disabled child as a result of inadequate antenatal management: and 'wrongful life'- essentially a claim by the neonate that he or she is suffering because his or her mother was wrongly advised as to continuation or termination of the pregnancy. The rights of the neonate to sue for its diminished life is discussed and the legal approach to the management of severe congenital desease is analysed. With case studies from the UK, the USA, the Commonwealth and Europe.

- Description
- The author critisizes ideas such as that selling sex is completely different from any other kind of work: that migrants who sell sex are passive victims: and that the people who want to save them are without self-interest. She argues that migrants make rational choices to travel and work in the sex industry and that social helpers often disempowers them.
