- Description
- History of the UK Women's Liberation Movement. Oral history testimonies power the work, tracing the arc of a feminist life from 1950s girlhoods to late life activism today. The author uses oral history as creative method, making significant use of ‘Sisterhood and After: The Women's Liberation Oral History Project’ to animate still-unresolved controversies of race, class, sexuality, disability, and feminist identity. She provides insight into iconic actions including the Miss World Protest, the fight to protect abortion rights, and the peace protest at Greenham Common. She also explores men's violence and today's demands for trans-liberation as areas of continuing feminist concern.

- Description
- First published as: Changer de différence (2009). The question of sexual differences and the shift from one feminism to the other has never been considered from a philosophical point of view. The idea of gender has never been taken back into its ontological source and queer theory has never been confronted with deconstruction. Along with this, the two intellectual traditions (the American and Continental thought) are compared with each other.

- Description
- Volume about media representations and practices that have emerged out of contemporary wars. The author considers two questions: how the construction of gender, race and class in media are productive of regimes of truth regarding war and military life, and how such constructions may intensify militarism. By examining news and documentary media produced since September 11, 2001, she demonstrates that news narratives that include women use feminism selectively in gender equality narratives. They tend to reinforce historically resonant gender, race and class identity constructions.

At a time when media talk scandalous revelations about life for women from Saudi Arabia to Indonesia, Muslim women are always spoken about and over, never with. But Muslim women are diverse and fight sexism from within, as committed to the fight as they are to their faith. Hemmed in by Islamophobia and sexism, they fight against sexism with their minds, words and bodies.

There is an appraisal of what feminism means in the Indian context and the cross-cultural construction of patriarchy that varies in its manifestations across time and space. The readers are taken on a journey that shows how gender can only be understood in its social and historical context and as a dynamic and performative concept that emerges out of both collective imaginations and social realities.

- This book is about the reshaping of women's lives, loves and dreams since 1950. In this period Walt Disney's film Cinderella gave expression to popular ideas of romance, marriage was a major determinant of female life chances and teenage girls dreamed of Mr Right and happy endings. It ends with the success of Disney's Frozen (2013), a film with relevance to very different times. The book shows how women's expectations and emotional landscapes have shifted since 1950, considering among others the way women's changing life experiences have been mirrored in new expectations about marriage, intimacy and family life and the way new forms of independence through education and work altered women's life ambitions.

- Description
- Goss examines how women's civic place has changed over the span of more than 120 years, how public policy has driven these changes, and why these changes matter for women and American democracy. Suffrage, which granted women the right to vote and invited their democratic participation, provided a dual platform for the expansion of women's policy agendas. As measured by women's groups' appearances before the U.S. Congress, women's collective political engagement continued to grow between 1920 and 1960—when many conventional accounts claim it declined—and declined after 1980, when it might have been expected to grow. .Goss suggests that ascriptive differences are not necessarily barriers to disadvantaged groups' capacity to be heard: that enhanced political inclusion does not necessarily lead to greater collective engagement: and that rights movements do not necessarily constitute the best way to understand the political participation of marginalized groups. She asks what women have gained—and perhaps lost—through expanded incorporation as well as whether single-sex organizations continue to matter in 21st-century America.

- Description
- This book confronts the historic devaluation of lesbian-feminist politics within Anglo-American discourse and ignites a transnational and transgenerational discussion regarding the relevance of lesbian feminisms in today’s world. The writers consider the wider place of lesbian feminisms within queer theory, post-colonial feminism and the movement for LGBT rights. They consider how lesbian feminisms can contribute to discussions on intersectionality, engage with trans activism and the need for trans-inclusion, to ultimately show how lesbian feminisms can offer a transformative approach to today’s sexual and gender politics.

- Feminisme. Wat bedoelen we ermee en wat kunnen we ermee? Dit boek steekt een thermometer in de samenleving om te zien hoe de stand van zaken is. Wat is er al bevochten en bereikt?

Ruim vijftig auteurs, vrouwen en mannen, geven hun visie en tonen de veelstemmigheid en veelkleurigheid van het feminisme: van de jongste generatie tot de eerste generatie feministen. De auteurs komen uit alle verschillende hoeken van de samenleving: kunstenaars, academici, wetenschappers, journalisten, activisten, et cetera.

The authors argue that feminism must start with women at the bottom and fight for the world they deserve. Their opinion is that feminism must be anti-capitalist, eco-socialist and anti-racist and cope with issues such as poverty wages, climate change and healthcare.

- Description
- With this book Chancer takes stock of the American feminist movement. She articulates four common causes ( advancing political and economic equality, allowing intimate and sexual freedom, ending violence against women and expanding the cultural representation of women ) considering each in turn to assess what has been gained (or not). It is around these shared concerns, Chancer argues, that we can continue to build a vibrant and expansive feminist movement and articulates a broad agenda developed through advancing intersectional concerns about class, race, and sexuality.

- Description
- The author examines motherhood and female self-realization in feminist discourse and Joyce Carol Oates’s recent fiction. While the first and second wave of feminism repudiated motherhood, the third wave claimed the right to enjoy it. The present fourth wave is now reviving the reservations about motherhood of the first two waves. This book demonstrates how Oates’s writing reflects these shifts and how Oates takes up and transforms feminist standpoints in her work without writing conventional feminist literature.

- Description
- Despite the positive changes in Morocco and the growing emancipation of women in all domains, there are still hurdles that hinder their emancipation and participation in public life, such as illiteracy, unemployment, poverty, lack of education and professional training, insufficient resources, difficult access to loans, and weak representation in decision and policy-making. Women’s organizations today play a major role in sensitizing women, families, and social actors as to the importance of integrating women in economic, social, and cultural development. Further steps in favor of protecting women s rights are badly needed to ensure their strong contribution to sustainable development.

- Description
- In this biography De Hart explores the central experiences that shaped Ginsburg’s passion for justice, her advocacy for gender equality, her meticulous jurisprudence: her desire to make We the People more united. At the heart of her story and abiding beliefs is her Jewish background. She grew up during the Holocaust and World War II. Her mother, Celia Amster Bader inspired her daughter’s feminism, insisting that Ruth become independent. She founded the Women's Rights Law Reporter, writing the brief for the first case that persuaded the Supreme Court to strike down a sex-discriminatory state law, then at Columbia (the law school’s first tenured female professor): becoming the director of the women’s rights project of the ACLU, persuading the Supreme Court in a series of decisions to ban laws that denied women full citizenship status with men.
