- Description
- The aim of this book is to make visible the intentionality behind the 'forgetting' of European women's contributions during the period between the two world wars in the context of politics, culture and society. It also seeks to analyse women's agency in the construction and reconstruction of Europe and its nation states after the First World War, and thus to articulate ways in which the writing of women's history necessarily entails the rewriting of everyone's history. .By showing that the erasure of women's texts from literary and cultural history was not accidental but was ideologically motivated, the essays explicitly and implicitly contribute to debates surrounding canon formation. Other important topics are women's political activism during the period, antifascism, the contributions made by female journalists, the politics of literary production, genre, women's relationship with and contributions to the avant-garde, women's professional lives, and women's involvement in voluntary associations. The chapter about the Netherlands is about Dutch women writers between the wars.

- Description
- This volume of essays on the history of female scientists in the field of Austrian and European ethnology is written by modern anthropologists from Slovakia, Kroatia, Switserland, and Germany. Some essays present biographies of individual scientists, including: Marie Andree-Eysn (1947-1929): Gertrud Pesendorfer (1895-1982), Gretl Karasek (1910-1992), and Erna Piffl (1904-1987): Lily Weiser (1898-1987): Ingeborg Weber-Kellermann (1918-1993): Dunja Rihtman-Augustin (1926-2002), and Lydia Sklevicky (1952-1990): Emilia Horváthová (1931-1996): Yvonne Verdier (1941-1989). These scientists and their work have developed in the context of different social and political systems. Among the other themes in the book are: the study of folklore as an means of racial delimitation: the expression of nature by Austrian women researchers of folk music and dance: the modernization of Kroatian ethnology: the research of folklore and dress: and the position of female museum directors.

- Description
- The current paper sets out some of the findings from the most recent EWCS data collected in late 2005. It looks at the data primarily in relation to psychological as opposed to physical forms of violence. In the survey, the question on bullying refers to ‘bullying / harassment’ while the question on exposure to ‘unwanted sexual attention’ in the previous twelve months is used as a proxy for sexual harassment. In order to simplify the presentation, this paper differentiates between workplace ‘bullying’ on the one hand and ‘sexual harassment’ on the other. These are distinct and quite separate phenomena but working women are exposed to a higher risk than men for both and the survey is used to investigate some of the reasons why this is the case.

- Description
- Increasing numbers of women, including mothers, in employment has become a major European objective, for reasons of both gender equality and economic regeneration. Their past allocation to the home may not have been fair to women, but it did ensure that caring and domestic work was achieved. The new scenario has brought with it considerable social change, including the erosion of the 'traditional' family, declining fertility, and growing problems of work-life 'balance'. The authors addres these topics, drawing on quantitative and qualitative research materials from Britain, France, The Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Portugal. Many of the chapters undertake comparative analysis, drawing on evidence from these countries, thereby facilitating a realistic evaluation of the policy options available. Wider questions, including the consequence of these changes for gender and class inequalities, are also addressed.

- Gender, Sex and the Shaping of Modern Europe explores the key transformations of sexual identities and sexuality in Europe from the French Revolution to the present day. Its focus is on gender, as it is impossible to understand masculinity or femininity in isolation. It is divided into five thematic chapters representing the critical moments in gender history: The Age of Revolution and Enlightenment, Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution, Imperialism/Colonialism, Total War in the Twentieth Century, and the Long Sexual Revolution. The authors provide an overview of how gender roles were socially constructed and how they influenced political and economic developments.

- The debate on multiculturalism and human rights in Europe was reignited in 2004 by the Islamic headscarf ban in France. The legal and political tensions thrown up by this debate are now being witnessed in many European states. The place of religion in schools in general, and wearing of religious dress in State schools in particular, has become an issue across Europe. Supporters of the right to wear the Islamic headscarf argue that the ban and similar prohibitions infringe a number of human rights. This book examines the issues by considering questions of language, meaning and symbolism. In doing so it identifies the debates behind the debates. Detailed consideration is given to the headscarf debate in France. Comparative practice in a number of European states - Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Turkey - is examined.

The Women's Movement in Wartime explores the responses of the women's movements to the war in all of the major belligerent nations - Germany, Austria/Hungary, France, Britain (and its Empire), the United States and Russia. The contributors explore the impact of war on early feminist thought and activism, covering key topics including the interpretation of a specifically 'womanly' response to the war, women's relationship with the state and with the nation, the status of women's wartime service, women's role as mothers in wartime, women's suffrage, peace and the aftermath of war, and women's guilt and responsibility.

Firstly, German Mathilde Vaerting and her sociology of power were important for Wägner’s theory of matriarchy. Secondly, the influence of Austrian Rosa Mayreder and her theory of masculine civilization and feminine culture are analyzed in relation to Wägner's development of what might be called an early ecological feminism. Thirdly, the Women's Organization for World Order (WOWO) is presented.

- Description
- This book examines immigration law from a gender perspective. It shows how immigration law situates gender conflicts outside the national order, projecting them onto non-western countries, exotic cultures, clandestine labour and criminal organizations. In doing so, immigration law sustains the illusion that gender conflicts have moved beyond the pale of European experience. In fact, the classical feminist themes of patriarchy, the gendered division of labour and sexual violence are still being played out at the heart of Europe's societies, involving both citizens and migrants. This collection of essays demonstrates how the seemingly marginal perspective of immigration law highlights Europe's unresolved gender conflicts and how a gender perspective can help to rethink immigration law.

- This book discusses recent theoretical and empirical developments in international migration from a gender perspective. Its main objective is to analyse the diversification and stratification of gendered migratory streams with regard to skill level, labour market integration, and legal status. The book builds upon the recent shift in scholarly research on migration, with women-centred research shifting more toward the analysis of gender. Theoretical formulations of gender as relational, and as spatially and temporally contextual have begun to inform gendered analyses of migration. The contributions to this book elaborate in more detail the broader social factors that influence migrating women’s and men’s roles, access to resources, facilities and services.

- Description
- In this book Purbrick offers an analysis of contemporary domestic consumption. She investigates the ritualized presentation of objects upon marriage, and their subsequent cycles of exchange within the domestic sphere. Focusing on gift-giving in Britain from 1945 to the present, comparative context is provided by material from North America and Europe. .By considering how the specific contexts in which consumption occurs, such as married domesticity, can limit possible versions of selfhood, The Wedding Present tests the assumption that consuming creates individual identities. Thus, the book argues, consumption cannot be isolated as an explanation of individual or social formation. .The publication consists of: Introduction: Making homes and worlds: marriage and consumption from 1945 to today : Objects of approval : China and pyrex: the practices of preservation : Accounting for change: forgotten, neglected and altered objects : The list: domesticity, conformity and class (The gift list): Methods: mass-observation : Afterword: unmarried households.

- Description
- This book aims to map the diversity of meanings of gender equality across Europe - including the European Union and member states such as Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia, Greece, and Spain - and reflects on the contested concept of gender equality. The different meanings of gender equality are explored comparatively in relation to the issues of family policies, domestic violence, and gender inequality in politics, while specific national contexts discuss the issues of prostitution (Austria, Slovenia), migration (the Netherlands), homosexual rights (Spain), and antidiscrimination (Hungary). Each chapter will provide insights on the ongoing theoretical and political debate about gender equality.

- Description
- This study offers an account of the depiction of divorce across the northern hemisphere in novels, films, journalism and television. Scholars from the UK and North America contributed to this volume. The first contribution is on divorce in a number of early women's novels in Germany, 1784-1848. In most other western literatures, divorce becomes an important subject matter of fiction from the mid-nineteenth century. A relationship is found between the legal possibilites of divorce and the depiction of divorce in fiction. Other contributions are on literatures from the UK, France, Scandinavia, America, and Russia, and on twentieth century American films. A chapter is on the late twentieth century lesbian romance. The book ends with the subjects of separation and divorce in the contemporary American television series 'The Sopranos'.

- Description
- The aim of the report was not so much to provide a detailed overview of the national equal pay legislation, but rather to help reduce the often blurred discussion about the ‘gender pay gap’ to its essence and to reflect on the question of how law and legal instruments may help to close the gap. In this respect, it is particularly important to clearly differentiate between pay discrimination on the one hand, and pay discrepancies based on factors that have nothing to do with discrimination on the other hand. The country reports aim to reflect where there is pay discrimination in the strictly legal sense and where pay discrepancies are based on other factors. . .Report by the Commission's Network of legal experts in the fields of employment, social affairs and equality between men and women.

- Description
- Competing claims on time in work and family life have become inherent, unavoidable features of the Western world. Many people feel torn between work and family not just because their households increasingly juggle competing responsibilities, but also as job expectations and parenting standards have intensified. This book aims to deepen our understanding of a variety of conditions that influence the successes and difficulties experienced in attempting to equally accommodate both work and private lives. The contributors argue that conditions which create competing claims on time can originate from the organization, from the household, or from both: the contributors thus apply a multi-level and multi-actor approach to the problem. They pay detailed attention to time use and time pressures, and focus not only on the causes of disturbed balances between work and care, but also on solutions to these competing claims. This study gives perspectives from across Europe, US, and Australia.
