- Description
- Within Islam, a temporary marriage generally implies a short-term marriage between a man and a woman that does not come with a long-term commitment and may or may not have an explicit, pre-established timeline or endpoint. The partial religious legitimation of temporary marriage via Islamic fatwas has recently revived the institution. This paper aims to answer how, and under what conditions, temporary marriage can be either exploitative or liberating for individual women.

- Description
- In a game theoretic framework it can be argued that a gender sensitive institution is an offshoot of certain social conditions, which in most cases need to be acted upon by some anti-establishment catalytic agent. In a society characterized by gender exploitation, catalytic agent can only come exogenously. For a sub-society it is easier to come across such an exogenous catalytic agent. The specific community conditions prevailing in such a sub-society may also prove to be congenial for a catalytic agent to act upon, or even to emerge from. In a larger canvas, however, as the exogenous force transforms into mere endogenous entity, and the society takes on the general character of male-dominance, the space for exogenous agency shrinks. There are, however, three possible escape routes from this closure. Firstly, external effects of women's empowerment in one subsociety on another may snowball. Secondly, the awareness campaign presently underway on a global scale is itself a potent exogenous catalytic agent. Thirdly, general development programs undertaken within a patriarchal order may unwittingly create conditions conducive to feminist struggle.

- Description
- At issue here is the recognition of extraordinary variation of subjective positions and cultural identities. It is after all, a site of contestation over the demand of a wider space for a critique of black experience. This particularity and universality can also be found in woman-centered texts, and it is with this issue in mind that this article will explore the dynamics between race and gender in the poetry of Grace Nichols, a contemporary Caribbean-British writer.

- Description
- In this article authors uses exchange theory to examine the status and familial interactions of women in rural Bangladesh throughout their lives. Their status remains low but it does vary according to a highly institutionalized pattern of family-based social expectations. Although the institutions defining a woman's status seem to be stable, they are also changing because of the society's exposure to recent worldwide advances in family planning and health care.

- Description
- In contrast to dutifully killing the enemy, a soldier is not supposed to rape a woman, at least in theory. But rapes occur in war. They always have, and often in settings and upon a scale that is difficult to comprehend. Accordingly, rape in times of war has a direct effect upon the society where the conflict takes place. More specifically, it affects women, and this violence against them can have the added, profoundly negative effect of eroding their particular social and environmental conditions. As difficult and emotional this issue may be, though, rape in war is in direct correlation to the study of women, their health and development. In locales where war has raged or is raging still, sexual violence against women is an individual and collective wound like no other.

- Description
- The author discusses from a South African perspective the ways in which feminist politics have been dissolved in the post-1980s era as to make feminism look anachronistic. The focus of this article is in a concept in which patriarchy adapts a form that emerges out of the relative success in the socio-economic sphere of the post-war feminist movements in the Western world which gave middle-class women suffrage, reproductive rights, the space in which to critique misogynist and patriarchal cultural and media production, and many other gains. Harris wants to open the debate as how feminist politics may be revived.

- Description
- This article examines novels by Alix Kates Shulman, Marge Piercy and Erica Jong. These novels published in the early seventies were inspired by existentialism and Beauvoir, but reached mass audiences because they were also novels of the (hetero)sexual revolution. These texts carved out a radical terrain of subjectivity for women as they fought individually and collectively to reject a medicalised vocabulary and to discover their own sexual language
