- Description
- 'Based on employee pipeline data from 132 companies, two broad themes emerge this year: .1 ) On average, women are promoted and hired at lower rates than men, so far fewer women become senior leaders. .(2) At more senior levels, we see women shift from line to staff roles, so very few end up on the path to becoming CEO. .Despite modest progress since 2015, women remain underrepresented in the corporate pipeline. At every step, the representation of women declines, and this does not appear to be the result of company-level attrition. On average, the women and men in this study are leaving their organizations at about the same rate.'

- Description
- This book provides a comprehensive look at gender gaps across time and various issue areas completed since the 1980s. It provides a theoretical framework for explaining the causes of gender gap emergence that incorporates both nature (biology) and nurture (socialization) and provides the basis with which to predict the attitudes on which gender gaps will likely emerge. The book explores the causes of gender gaps in foreign and social policy and introduces a new way of conceptualizing biology based on emerging research in the hard sciences.

The book also explores the apparent paradox in the conflicting images of African women - as singularly oppressed and dominated by men, but also as strong, resourceful, and willing to challenge governments and local traditions to protect themselves and their families

- Elizabeth was crowned queen at twenty-five, but it was only when she reached fifty and all hopes of a royal marriage were behind her that she began to wield power in her own right. For twenty-five years she had struggled to assert her authority over advisers, who pressed her to marry and settle the succession: now, she was determined not only to reign but to rule. In this biography, Guy introduces a woman who is at once powerful and vulnerable, willful and afraid. We see her confronting challenges at home and abroad: war against France and Spain, revolt in Ireland, an economic crisis that triggers riots in the streets of London, and a conspiracy to place her cousin Mary Queen of Scots on her throne.

- Description
- Popular and academic representations of the free mulatta concubine depict women of mixed black African and white racial descent as defined by their sexual attachment to white men, and thus they offer evidence of the means to and dimensions of their freedom within Atlantic slave societies. In this book the author contends that the uniformity of these representations conceals the figure’s centrality to the practices and production of diaspora. She argues that the concubine figure’s manifestation as both historical subject and African diasporic goddess indicates her centrality to understanding how free and enslaved black subjects performed gender, theorized race and freedom, and produced their own diasporic identities. The book traces the free mulatta concubine across the physical and imaginative landscapes of three Atlantic sites: Gorée Island, New Orleans, and Saint Domingue (Haiti).

- Women and men experience disaster differently, and their needs in the aftermath of disaster often differ. Bringing together perspectives from academics, emergency response specialists and development practitioners, the volume investigates to what extent and in what ways gender affects the course of post-disaster reconstruction. Conversely, it also explores in what ways gender politics may be altered by disaster and post-disaster reconstruction. The study includes: a comprehensive overview of key issues facing women and men, as gendered beings, in reconstruction and development: a targeted observation of specific South Asian disaster contexts: and a sustained discussion of case studies and their implications and lessons. Contents: 1. Introduction / Linda Racioppi: 2. Gender differential impacts of the 2004 tsunami / Chaman Pincha: 3. The interplay of women, work and disasters: missing women’s views / Mihir Bhatt: 4.

- Dutch policy and legislation facilitate the use of high quality, accessible and affordable assisted reproductive technologies to all citizens in need of them, while at the same time setting some strict boundaries on their use in daily clinical practices. Through the ethnographic study of a single clinic in this national context, this book examines how this particular form of medicine, aiming to empower its patients, co-shapes the experiences and decisions of those using these technologies. Gerrits contends that to understand the use of reproductive technologies in practice and the complexity of processes of medicalization, we need to go beyond 'easy assumptions' about the hegemony of biomedicine and the expected impact of patient-centredness.

It examines how free, single women in one city (including prostitutes, entrepreneurs, and elite plantation ladies) coped with life unencumbered, or unprotected, by husbands. The book pays close attention to the laws affecting southern gender and sociocultural traditions, focusing especially on how the town’s free, single women maneuvered adroitly but guardedly within the legal arena in which they lived.

In this atmosphere, dissent seems tantamount to political betrayal. In this book feminists contest this simplistic reading of the candidate. A look at Hillary Clinton’s track record on welfare, Wall Street, criminal justice, education, and war reveals that she has advanced laws and policies that have done real harm to the lives of women and children across the country and the globe.

- This book reaffirms what is most basic in feminism : the attack on the “universality” and sovereignty of Man , but contends that the only way this can mean anything other than pessimistic rhetoric is to embrace human agency and the struggle against colonialism and capitalism. In a series of “creolized” readings , Foucault with Ali Shari’ati, Lacan with Fanon, and Spinoza with Sylvia Wynter , the authors demonstrate what is at stake in the ongoing debate between humanism and posthumanism, putting this debate in the context of contemporary global crises and the possibilities of revolution.

- Beschrijving van de vlucht en de geruchtmakende zaak Sophia Alberts over de periode 1700-1710, op basis van onderzoek in dossiers over deze zaak en andere archiefstukken. Een minderjarige dochter van een protestantse notaris in Helmond, in de gereformeerde Republiek der Verenigde Nederlanden, zou van huis zijn weggelopen naar Venray, in de Zuidelijke Nederlanden en zich hebben bekeerd tot het katholicisme. Omdat haar ouders en de autoriteiten haar vlucht beschouwden als een ontvoering door de 'roomsen', volgden harde maatregelen om de katholieken te dwingen het meisje terug te brengen. Deze persoonlijke geschiedenis laat ook zien hoe hoog de religieuze spanningen in het begin van de achttiende eeuw konden oplopen. Daarnaast biedt het inzicht in de verhouding tussen ouders en kinderen in een eeuw waarin van kinderen absolute gehoorzaamheid werd geëist. .Bevat de volgende bijlagen: Huishoudens en inwoners in Helmond 1691-1700 : Helmondse notarissen 1685-1704 : Andere 'ontvoeringen' van minderjarigen in Staats-Brabant in de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw

Historians have written her biography, detailed her campaign for woman’s suffrage, documented her partnership with Susan B. Anthony, and compiled all of her writings and papers. The author extends the discussion of Stanton’s impact on modern-day feminism by analyzing her intellectual contributions to — and personal experiences with — family law. Throughout her fifty-year career, Stanton emphasized reform of the private sphere of the family as central to achieving women’s equality.

- Description
- It is 1970. Strober has just been told by the chairman of Berkeley's economics department that she can never get tenure. Driving home afterward she realizes the truth: she is being denied a regular faculty position because she is a mother. Angry, she also finds her life's work: to study and fight sexism, in the workplace, in academia, and at home. Strober's memoir captures the spirit of a revolution lived fully, from her Brooklyn childhood to her Stanford seminar on women and work. Strober's interest in women and work began when she saw her mother's frustration at the limitations of her position as a secretary. Her consciousness of the unfairness of the usual distribution of household chores came when she unsuccessfully asked her husband for help with housework. Later, when a group of conservative white male professors sputtered at the idea of government-subsidized child care, Strober made the case for its economic benefits. In the 1970s, the term 'sexual harassment' had not yet been coined. Occupational segregation, quantifying the value of work in the home, and the cost of discrimination were new ideas.

- Description
- Migration makes a profound impression on identity, its expressions and performance. Migrant communities often cast women as bearers of cultural reproduction. This is especially the case when women choose to become representatives of their community through cultural dance performances. Such performances are also a means to express the migrant life of movement and a way to maintain their sense of well-being. This book is a vision of expressions of gender and identity at the heart of the Asian women’s experience.

- Description
- This publication reveals the stories of female perpetrators of sexual violence and their place in wartime conflict, legal policy, and the punishment of sexual violence. More broadly, the author asks, what do the actions and perceptions of female perpetrators of sexual violence reveal about our broader conceptions of war, violence, sexual assault, and gender? This book explores specific historical case studies, such as Nazi Germany, Serbia, the contemporary case of ISIS, and others, to understand how and why women participate in rape during war and conflict.

- David rejects the notion that gender equality has been achieved. She puts the focus back onto issues such as changing patterns of women’s and girls’ participation in education across the globe, feminist strategies for policy and legal interventions around human rights, and violence against women and children. She discusses waves of feminism linked to school-teaching and pedagogies in higher education as well as a case study of an international educational programme to challenge gender-related violence.

- Description
- This book considers six authors who use experimental methods and negative modes of critique in their fiction and feminism. The authors covered are Valerie Solanas, Kathy Acker, Theresa Cha, Chantel Chawaf, Jeanette Winterson, and Lynda Barry. These writers share a commitment to combining extreme content with formally radical techniques in order to enact varieties of gender, sex, race, class and nation-based experience that, they suggest, may only be “represented” accurately through the experimental unmaking of dominant structures of rationality.

- Description
- Catharina Halkes (1920-2011) was voor velen 'boegbeeld en voorbeeld, baken en inspiratiebron' van de oecumenische vrouw-en-geloof-beweging en de feministische theologie. Aan het eind van haar leven stond zij op een eigen, wetenschappelijke biografie. Hoewel de auteurs beiden nauw met Halkes hebben samengewerkt in de feministische-theologische beweging, zeggen zij toch verrast te zijn door het beeld dat uit hun archiefonderzoek boven kwam: Halkes bleek zowel inspirerend als ambitieus te zijn, een netwerker en een vergadertijger. Deze biografie schetst een intrigerend beeld van een vrouw die zich een plek veroverde in invloedrijke katholieke kringen en al in de jaren vijftig en zestig een spil werd in katholieke en christelijke vrouwenbeweging

- Description
- The scope of this report is on the revealing of gender practices in the construction of academic excellence in recruitment and selection procedures. Core questions for this report are whether the criteria that have been used .play out differently or similarly for male and female candidates, and how constructions of excellence are connected to the reproduction of inequalities in the research system. The construction of excellence is particularly salient for those workers who hold precarious positions, as the label of excellence is the key to their inclusion or exclusion in academia and research. This report presents a comparative analysis across GARCIA beneficiaries in Switzerland, Italy, Iceland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. The analysis is based on national research reports from these countries.
