- Description
- In this book the author takes a gendered approach to labor conflicts, anticolonial struggles, and citizenship in modern Lebanon. The author looks at the conditions and experiences of women workers at the French Tobacco industry. Looking at culturally inscribed roles for Middle Eastern women, the book highlights traditions of public activism and militancy among rural women that are in turn adapted to the spaces of the factory. Women employed distinct strategies involving kinship, sectarian, gender, and class ties to enhance their work conditions and social benefits. The author argues that the condition of women can only be explained by exploring the shifting relationship between culture, societal arrangements, and economic settings.

- Description
- This book looks at the experiences of women across Europe from 1945 to the present day. Europe at the end of World War II was a sorry testimony to the human condition: awash in corpses, the infrastructure devastated, food and fuel in such short supply.The vast majority of citizens on whom survival depended, in the postwar years, were women. This book charts the involvement of women in postwar reconstruction through the Cold War and post Cold-War years with chapters on the economic, social, and political dynamism that characterized Europe from the 1950s onwards.The case studies show difference and diversity across Europe whilst also setting the experience of women in a particular country within the broader historical issues and trends, in such topics as work, professionalization, sexuality, consumerism, migration, and activism. The introduction and conclusion provide an overview that integrates the chapters into the more general history of this important period.

- Description
- Study commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the FEMM Committee, the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality of the European Parliament. .COVID-19 has direct and indirect effects on women, other genders and marginalised groups within Europe. This study outlines some of the key gendered effects of the outbreak thus far and suggestions for how these may extend into the post-crisis period based on currently available data on COVID and longer-term effects of previous outbreaks of pathogens. This includes the lack of sex-disaggregated data, the role of healthcare workers and care workers, domestic violence, the impact of quarantine on feminised sectors of the economy, the additional unpaid labour on women as a result of lockdown, access to maternity, sexual and reproductive health services.

- Gender inequality persists in most countries. This collection highlights patterns of behaviour and gender relations and locates women at the centre of a dialogue and presents key interventions in gender and race matters. For the contributors, gender serves as an analytical framework and covers the experiences of women in different global settings related to education, political activism, corporeal violence, identity, sexuality, and poverty. The use of poetry and literature provides a powerful voice for women against exclusion and recognises their contribution to society.

- Description
- This reader is about gender and the developing world. In recent years there has arisen a sophisticated feminist literature on the lives of Third World women, their roles in development and their experiences of conflict. However the lives of Third World men have been ignored or consigned negative and stereotypical gender roles. While it is vital not to overlook men's roles in crime, exploitation, and violence, it is obvious that a more nuanced and empathetic portrait of Third World men remains to be painted. In this anthology are parts about family and sexuality, religion, work, migration and masculinities.

- Description
- This book presents a variety of feminist perspectives on human security under globalisation. Looking at gender as a multifaceted power domain, and human security as a policy framework, it explores the configuration of the state, power/knowledge systems and the implications for people living with deprivation and social exclusion. It offers new forms of analysis to expose the gendered character of global transformation and the explicit and implicit threats to human security in different places. The contributors explore the gendered implications of transnational processes such as conflict, international migration, human trafficking, the changing boundaries of work and care, environmental degradation, neo-conservatism and body politics. They challenge conventional approaches to politics and economics and suggest alternative ways of framing strategies and policies.

- Description
- Congrespapers gepresenteerd op de International Economic History Congress in Madrid (1998) over de geschiedenis van arbeidsmigratie door vrouwen. De auteurs tonen aan dat de bijdrage van vrouwen in internationale arbeidsmigratie geen fenomeen is van de laatste decennia van de twintigste eeuw, maar al voorkomt sinds de achttiende eeuw. Ook het beeld wordt bijgesteld dat vrouwen afhankelijk waren van hun familie en hun man volgden: uit onderzoek blijkt dat veel vrouwen zelfstandig migreerden. Aan de hand van kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve gegevens wordt een beeld geschetst van vrouwelijke migranten in verschillende landen gedurende drie eeuwen. Bevat de volgende bijdragen: Introduction : gender and the experience of migration / Pamela Sharpe : Women migrants as global and local agents : new research strategies on gender and migration / Christiane Harzig : Leaving home to help the family? : male and female temporary migrants in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Spain / Carmen Sarasúa : Labour migration, family and community in early modern Japan / Mary Louise Nagata : Women and long-distance trade migration in the nineteenth-century Netherlands / Marlou Schover : Nowhere at home? : female migrants in the nineteenth-century Habsburg Empire / Sylvia Hahn : Gender, family, work and migration in early nineteenth-century Scotland / David Tidswell : Wives or workers? : single British female migration to colonial Australia / Jan Gothard : A historical perspective on female migrants : motivations and strategies of nineteenth-century Hessians / Simone A. Wegge : When the migrants are men : Italy's women and transnationalism as a working-class way of life / Donna Gabaccia : Gender and twentieth-century Irish migration, 1921-1971 / Enda Delaney : Maids on the move : images of femininity and European women's labour migration during the interwar years / Barbara Henkes : Female migration and the farm family economy in interwar Japan / Janet Hunter : Migrancy, marriage and family in the Ciskei reserve of South Africa, 1945-1959 / Anne Mager : Women and migrants : continuity and change in patterns of female migration in Latin America / Paulina de los Reyes.

- Description
- Offers a complete historical picture of women's work in Uganda, tracing its development from pre-colonial times into the present and future. Setting these economic activities into a broader political, social, and cultural context, it provides a general account of women's experiences amidst the changes that shaped the country. Prior to the 1970s relatively few Ugandan women brought in their own income, despite producing most of the food and craftwork that was taken to local markets. Educational expansion in the 1950s and 1960s were years of gradual evolution for women and their work, with many employed as lower level teachers or nurses. Since the 1970s there have been a number of changes which have led to many more women earning their own income: high mortality of men from conflict and HIV/AIDS, increased migration of women into urban areas, the collapse of the state-controlled economy the development of a free market economy within a system of global capitalism, deepening poverty through Structural Adjustment Programmes, and the expansion of women's roles in many areas.

- Description
- This volume studies the patterns as well as consequences of long-term migration among Asian women who migrate globally as well as across the Asian continent in order to work. The papers in this volume are primarily concerned with the category of the ‘solo woman migrant’. The contributors focus on the changing gender composition of migration streams: the motivating factors for migration: the specificity of conditions that induce women, rather than men, to migrate: and the different outcomes of male and female migration.

- Description
- In 1982, twenty thousand Chinese-American garment workers–mostly women--went on strike in New York's Chinatown and forced every Chinese garment industry employer in the city to sign a union contract. In this study, Bao penetrates to the heart of Chinese-American society to explain how this militancy and organized protest, seemingly so at odds with traditional Chinese female behavior, came about. Bao offers a discussion of the interplay of ethnic and class factors within the garment industry in New York City. She examines the exploitative paternalism, rooted in ethnic social and economic structures, by which operators sustained low wages and marginal working conditions. Through the words of the women workers themselves, Bao shows how their changing positions within their families and within the workplace galvanized them to unite and stand up for themselves.

- Description
- This book examines the meaning of work for women in contemporary Indonesia. It looks at what women themselves see as their work, which includes paid employment, home life and child care, but also activities surrounding ritual, healing and religious life. It analyses the relationship between experiences of migration and work, and the ways in which religion – especially Islam - shapes perceptions and practice of work. It discusses women’s work in a range of different settings, both rural and urban, and in different locations, covering Sumatra, Bali, Lombok, Java, Sulawesi and Kalimantan. A wide range of types of employment are considered: agricultural labour, industrial work and new forms of work in the tertiary sector such as media and tourism, demonstrating how capitalism, globalization and local culture together produce gendered patterns of work with particular statuses and identities.

- Description
- Analysis on migratory farm workers that migrate every year in a seasonal pattern up and down the East Coast of the United States. It examines the mobility of the migratory workers, their yearly earnings, and the question of why some workers migrate while others stay at home. In the analysis four ethnic groups in fourteen East Coast states are distinguished: blacks, whites, Puerto Ricans, and Mexicans. The study reults in findings concerning the degree of mobility of the workers and the influence of ethnicity.
