- Description
- China’s joining the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001 signifies a milestone in the country’s global integration after two decades of economic reforms that have fundamentally transformed the economic organization of China. This collection seeks to identify the gendered implications within China of the country’s transition from socialism to a market economy and its opening up to international trade and investment. The changes have created greater wealth for some, while at the same time, serious gender, class, ethnic, and regional disparities have also emerged. The essays in this collection explore women’s well-being relative to men’s in rural and urban China by looking at land rights, labor-market status and labor rights, household decision-making, health, the representation of women in advertising and beauty pageants. .This book was previously published as a special issue of the journal, Feminist Economics, the official journal of the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE).

- Description
- A lack of dominant image for either sex could be progressive but until those images are more than warmed-over stereotypes, the recession hasn't changed anything. Women are still portrayed only as self-sacrificing housewives or clueless fashionistas, and men as either perpetually partying boy-men or solid, traditionally masculine father figures.

- Description
- This article explores the gender ideology of the Black Power movement, the participation of women, the effect of the fight against racism together with an increased level of race consciousness on gender awareness, and the cultural changes inspired by Black Power. It then analyses the emergence of a new and more radical phase of the women's movement in Trinidad in the mid to late 1970s, which led to the beginnings of a feminist discourse. It follows that development by assessing the increased consumerism spawned by the oil boom and how it conflicted with Black Power ideology and affected the gender system. The final section will examine how women and men are portrayed in newspaper advertisements, women's pages, letters, articles and other newspaper items.

- Description
- Women in the Mediterranean have helped constitute new meanings of knowledge whilst simultaneously providing a wealth of material that is now part of the knowledge archive of the area. The inception of types of knowledge that differ from the conventional necessitates a re-definition of the concept of ‘knowledge,’ an issue which is addressed in this volume. Employing a range of theories and methodologies, this book explores four main domains in which women’s knowledge is attested: women and written knowledge: women and oral knowledge: women and legal, religious, and economic knowledge: and women and media knowledge.

- Description
- The contributors to this volume argue that it all comes down to sex and money: how the media are organized, how they work, what they say, who gets to say it and to whom. The book shows how questions of gender and economics are inextricably linked to issues of power in Western capitalist societies. Integrating political economy and feminism, it offers an understanding of communication at the personal and institutional levels, and exposes the ways in which sex and money are sutured into individual's daily lives.

- This publication represents one of UNESCAP’s efforts at developing a set of indicators with which to assess the degree of implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action. The set of indicators is also developed on the basis of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as well as the Jakarta Declaration and Plan of Action for the Advancement of Women in Asian and the Pacific. The ever-growing need to develop systems of gender statistics and indicators has underscored the importance in selecting indicators that are appropriate for the intended purpose as well as technically sound. In developing these indicators, the criteria of selection depended on their usefulness to the countries in Asia Pacific region and the current availability of information and official statistics.
