- Description
- The Women's Engineering Society was founded in 1919 to achieve economic freedom for women. The book focuses on the two main protagonists, Rachel Parsons and Caroline Haslett, but it tells the stories of many of the women at the heart of this group as well. From their success in fanning the flames of a social revolution to their significant achievements in engineering and technology. The author also illuminates the era in which the society was founded: from the moment when women in Britain were allowed to vote for the first time, she charts the changing attitudes to women's rights both in society and in the workplace.

- Description
- Iran's retention of discriminatory laws stands in stark contrast to the advances Iranian women have made in other spheres since the Revolution in 1979. Alikarami aims to determine the extent to which the actions of women's rights activists have led to a significant change in their legal status. She argues that while Iranian women have not yet obtained legal equality, the gender bias of the Iranian legal system has been successfully challenged and has lost its legitimacy. Highlighting the key challenges that proponents of gender equality face in the Muslim context, Alikarami attempts to ascertain the causes of Iran's failure to ratify the CEDAW and questions whether and to what extent interpretations of Islamic principles prevent Iran from doing so.

- Description
- This book discusses why autocratic leaders in Morocco, Tunisia and Alegria have applied more extensive legal reforms of women's rights than the Middle East countries. It analyzes, based on fieldwork, how women's rights are used to advance the political goals of authoritarian regimes in an attempt to sideline religious extremists. It shows how Islamist political parties in the North-African countries have been forced to change their positions on women's rights to ensure political survival.

- Description
- Iola Mathews was one of the founders of the Women’s Electoral Lobby, a journalist at The Age, and later a leading ACTU ( Australian Council of Trade Unions ) advocate for women workers during the ‘Accord’ with the Hawke-Keating Government in Australia. She was involved in the heady days of ‘second wave’ feminism, when the role of women at home and at work changed decisively. In this memoir, she takes us inside the groundwork required to bring about reforms in areas like affirmative action, equal pay, childcare, parental leave and work-family issues.
