- Description
- This collection of historical documents presents a portrait of American women's lives in the second half of the twentieth century. The book starts with the nation's entry into World War II, and its impact on women's short- and long-term employment prospects. The post war brings social and economic developments and shifting conceptions of gender. The contributions speak to a series of topics: the ideas and changes brought about by the women's movement and other social movements, the challenges to and defense of reproductive rights. The volume's diverse voices include Lilian Smith, Rosa Parks, Dagmar Wilson, Rachel Carson, Betty Friedan, Carol Gilligan, Fannie Lou Hamer, Naomi Wolf, Anita Hill, Erica Jong, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg, among many others. (Fragments) of original documents are accompanied by introductory essays and source reference.

- Description
- With the onset of a more conservative political climate in the 1980s, social and especially labour history saw a decline in the popularity that it had previously enjoyed. This led to much debate in its future and function within the historical discipline as a whole. The most constructive proposals have suggested that labour history in the past concentrated too much on class and that other identities of working people should be taken into account such as gender, religion, and ethnicity. The volume is rounded off by a bibliography of recent studies in European labour histoyr, class, gender, religion, and ethnicity.

- Description
- At present, memory culture recieves much attention both in the circle of professional historians and in the public sphere. Most debates however focus on the political space of the nation and usually neglect the gender of the actors. These observations led to a conference in Mannheim in 2005, and the contributions to the conference make up this book. Case studies from European countries (Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Norway and Turkey) examined the role of gender in memory culture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and the way in which they represented women. Subjects of the contributions include female allegories (of nation, in monuments, in political cultures), and the memory and remembrance of war and military violence.

- Description
- Most research has accepted stereotypical images of Muslim women, treating their outward manifestations, such as veiling, as passive and oppressive. By approaching widely used sources with different questions and methodologies, this book redresses these deficiencies. Contributors revisit and reevaluate scripture and scriptural interpretation: church records involving non-Muslim women of the Arab world: archival court records dating from the present back to the Ottoman period: and the oral and material culture and its written record, including oral history, textbooks, sufi practices, art and architecture and the politics of dress. Contains: History then, history now: the role of medieval Islamic religio-political sources in shaping the modern debate on gender : The Qur'an and history: Muslim women: public authority, scriptures, and 'Islamic Law': Gendered sources in ethnohistorical research: the study of emigration from an Lebanese village: Individualism and political modernity: devout Catholic women in Aleppo and Lebanon between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries: Women, patronage, and charity in Ottomon Istanbul: Consciousness of self: the Muslim woman as creator and manager of Waqf foundations in late Ottomon Damascus: Sources for the study of slave women and concubines in Ottoman Egypt: Thoughts on women and slavery in the Ottoman era and historical sources: Observations on the use of Shari'a court records as a source of social history: Mahkama records as a source for women's history: 'And God knows best': the Fatwa as a source for the history of gender in the Arab world: Gender violence in Kanunnames and Fetvas of the sixteenth century: Mixed and other courts: women and modern patriarchy: Islamic personal law in American courts: Learning gendered modernity: the home, the family, and the schoolroom in th construction of Egyptian national identity (1885-1919): The use of textbooks as a source of history for women: the case of turn-of-the-century Egypt: Sources on the education of Ottoman women in the Prime Ministerial Ottoman Archive for the period of reforms in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: The history of the discourses on gender and islamism in contemporary Egypt (1908-1990): Female patronage of Mamluk architecture in Cairo: Islamic art as a source for the study of women in premodern societies: Discerning the Hand-of-Fatima: an iconological investigation of the role of gender in religious art: Oral traditions as a source for the study of Muslim women: women in the Sufi Orders: Political science without clothes: the politics of dress, or, contesting the spatiality of the state in Egypt.
