Women and Politics The Pursuit of Equality

Women and Politics The Pursuit of Equality

Women and Politics is a comprehensive examination of women's use of politics in pursuit of gender equality. How can demands for gender equality be reconciled with sex differences? Resolving this paradoxical question has proceeded along two paths: the legal equality doctrine which emphasizes gender neutrality and the fairness doctrine which recognizes differences between men and women. The text's clear analysis and presentation of theory and history helps students to think critically about the difficulties faced by women in politics and about how public policies in education labor and the economy and family and fertility impact gender equality. The fully-revised fourth edition explores new critical perspectives recent political events and current challenges to gender equality including the 2016 presidential election and Hillary Clinton's candidacy the fight for equal pay and paid leave and the debate over reproductive rights and campus sexual assault. It also includes current scholarship on the intersections of race class and gender and expanded coverage of minority women women in the military and conservative women. This text and its two-path framework is essential to understanding women's pursuit of equality via the political system. | Women and Politics The Pursuit of Equality

Women and Travel Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

This enlightening volume brings together scholars from the broad areas of tourism hospitality geography and leisure studies to examine how and why women travel.

Women and Religion in the West Challenging Secularization

Women and Religion in the West Challenging Secularization

What is the relationship between women and secularization? In the West women are abandoning traditional religion. Yet they continue to make up the majority of religious adherents. Accounting for this seeming paradox is the focus of this volume. If women undergird the foundations of religion but are leaving in large numbers why are they leaving? Where are they going? What are they doing? And what's happening to those who remain? Women and Religion in the West addresses a neglected yet crucial issue within the debate on religious belonging and departure: the role of women in and out of religion and spirituality. Beginning with an analysis of the relationship between gender and secularization the book moves its focus to in-depth examination of women's experiences based on data from key recent qualitative work on women and religion. This volume addresses not only women's place in and out of Christianity (the normal focus of secularization theories) but also alternative spiritualities and Islam asking how questions of secularization differ between faith systems. This book offers students and scholars of religion sociology and women's studies as well as interested general readers an accessible work on the religiosity of western women and contributes fresh analyses of the rapidly shifting terrain of contemporary religion and spirituality. | Women and Religion in the West Challenging Secularization

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Women in Mycenaean Greece is the first book-length study of women in the Linear B tablets from Mycenaean Greece and the only to collect and compile all the references to women in the documents of the two best attested sites of Late Bronze Age Greece - Pylos on the Greek mainland and Knossos on the island of Crete. The book offers a systematic analysis of women’s tasks holdings and social and economic status in the Linear B tablets dating from the 14th and 13th centuries BCE identifying how Mycenaean women functioned in the economic institutions where they were best attested - production property control land tenure and cult. Analysing all references to women in the Mycenaean documents the book focuses on the ways in which the economic institutions of these Bronze Age palace states were gendered and effectively extends the framework for the study of women in Greek antiquity back more than 400 years. Throughout the book seeks to establish whether gender practices were uniform in the Mycenaean states or differed from site to site and to gauge the relationship of the roles and status of Mycenaean women to their Archaic and Classical counterparts to test if the often-proposed theories of a more egalitarian Bronze Age accurately reflect the textual evidence. The Linear B tablets offer a unique if under-utilized point of entry into women’s history in ancient Greece documenting nearly 2000 women performing over fifty task assignments. From their decipherment in 1952 one major gap in the scholarly record remained: a full accounting of the women who inhabited the palace states and their tasks ranks and economic contributions. Women in Mycenaean Greece fills that gap recovering how class rank and other social markers created status hierarchies among women how women as a group functioned relative to men and where different localities conformed or diverged in their gender practices. | Women in Mycenaean Greece The Linear B Tablets from Pylos and Knossos

Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

In the years Bbetween the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the beginning of the war mobilization boom in 1930 collieries in Europe and America embraced new technologies and had long since been excluded women from working underground. In Japan however mining women witnessed no significant changes in working practices over this period. The availability of the cheap and abundant labor of these women allowed the captains of the coal industry in Japan to avoid expensive investments in new machinery and sophisticated mining methods; instead they continued to intensely exploit workers and markets intensively making substantial profits without the burdens of extensive mechanization. This unique book explores the lives of the thousands of women who labored underground in Japan’s coal mines in the years 1868 to 1930. It examines their working lives their family lives their aspirations achievements and disappointments. Drawing heavily on interview material with the miners themselves W. Donald Burton combines translations of their stories with features of Japanese society at the time and coal mining technology. In doing so he presents a complex account of the women’s lives as well as providing a keen insight intoon gender relations and the industrial and labor history of Japan. Coal Mining Women in Japan will be welcomed by students and scholars of Japanese history gender studies and industrial history. | Coal-Mining Women in Japan Heavy Burdens

Women Architects in the Modern Movement

Women Architects in the Modern Movement

Women Architects in the Modern Movement rewrites the history of modern architecture to elevate the often-overlooked female architects who helped build the movement. Starting with a theoretical analysis that situates women’s roles both in society and architecture specifically Carmen Espegel examines the transition from women as objects to subjects at the advent of modernity. This theoretical basis is grounded through four case studies on pioneering women architects: Eileen Gray Lilly Reich Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky and Charlotte Perriand. Along with illuminating their lives and work Espegel aims to help us examine and observe the world from a perspective where the feminine and masculine are not exclusive so that we might learn from the past in order to build with dignity in the future.

Women Entrepreneurship and Development in the Middle East

Women Entrepreneurship and Development in the Middle East

The Middle East was the region least impacted in the 2008 crisis has investment systems markedly different to the West is largely governed by Islamic Shari’a and has varying forms of governance and institutional organization which are not understood by many nor how these systems shape entrepreneurial and industrial development. While the Middle East as a region has seen a small growth in entrepreneurship for women and business scholarship on the Middle East has grown there is no text in English that has brought critical insights from the Middle East together in a single volume. In examining women’s entrepreneurship in the Middle East this book aims to challenge Global North assumptions about the disempowering impacts of Islamic Shari’a and governance. Referring to the constraints of Islam on women’s subjectivity and agency greatly misunderstands religious identity of both men and women and the way in which public administration and private sector institutions are organized in very different ways to Western regions. This timely text expands and adds new insights to the theorizations of women’s entrepreneurship in the Middle East through unravelling spatialized themes and incorporates contemporary themes including: an Islamic science reading of women work and venturing; changing families and entrepreneurship development; women managing social crises; Islamization governance and women; Islamic feminist activisms and entrepreneurship; representations of women’s entrepreneurship on social media; and women’s collectives leading entrepreneurship via Facebook entrepreneurship. It will be of interest to researchers academics and students in the fields of entrepreneurship gender work and organizations. | Women Entrepreneurship and Development in the Middle East

Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

Demons of Domesticity offers a social history of the English gas industry from the 1880s to the late 1930s with an emphasis on the corporations that served London and the Home Counties. It documents the hitherto unexamined role that women played in the development of the industry by considering two major interlocking themes: the expansion of sales occupations for women in the English gas industry and the parallel growth and diversification of the industry's marketing strategies. During the late-nineteenth century the home became the focal point for a number of debates concerning female employment and gender roles. As an increasing number of labour saving domestic devices came onto the market women found themselves targeted by manufacturing companies and utility suppliers both as consumers and advocates. Foremost among these companies were representatives of the gas industry who actively addressed domestic issues. As the promoters purveyors and consumers of domestic technology Demons of Domesticity suggests that English female employees and consumers were not the hapless dupes of corporate marketing but instead had clear ideas about how domestic technology could and should be used to reconfigure the public and private spaces of work and home. | Demons of Domesticity Women and the English Gas Industry 1889–1939

Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

Misogyny and its opposite philogyny have been perennial topics in Western literature from its earliest days to the present day but only at certain historic periods have pro-woman authors challenged fundamental negative assumptions about women by engaging in formal debate with misogynists and juxtaposing these two attitudes toward women in pairs or series of texts devoted exclusively to discussing womankind. This dialectic of attack on and defence of the female sex known as the querelle des femmes (debate about women) was especially popular among authors and readers during the sixteenth and earlier seventeenth centuries in England. At least 36 texts exclusively devoted to attacking and/or defending women were published in the hundred years between 1540 and 1640. The works included in these two volumes exemplify the content and the methods of debate in England during those two centuries. Volume one includes texts from 1521 through to 1615. | Texts from the Querelle 1521–1615 Essential Works for the Study of Early Modern Women: Series III Part Two Volume 1

The Family Women and Death Comparative Studies

The Family Women and Death Comparative Studies

Originally published in 1983 and as a second edition in 1993 this book deals with 3 universal but culturally variable phenomena: the family women and death. The book poses questions about our own ways of looking at the family and private life at sex and gender and at death by analysing ancient Greek ideas and by showing how researchers’ presuppositions have been influenced by their own culture and experience. The views of Fustel de Coulanges on the place of tomb-cult in the evolution of the family in the ancient world are critically examined and related to their 19th Century context; the study of the classical Athenian family is related to current historical and sociological debates on the separation between public and private life. | The Family Women and Death Comparative Studies

People Who Count Population and Politics Women and Children

People Who Count Population and Politics Women and Children

Originally published in 1995 this book confronts the contentious political issues on all sides of the population debate including immigration demographic competition gender ratios reproductive research and children’s rights. The book argues that lower fertility rates are preferred by women themselves; are beneficial in their own right to both women and children; and should not be used as a bargaining chip in any other area of the development debate. Drawing on a large body of research in anthropology child psychology and population studies the book presents evidence that the poor do not necessarily have large families as form of financial security or to put them to work; people without offspring are less lonely in old age; immigration and refugee controls in the Northern Hemisphere have been more driven by politics than rational calculation and human rights; social security does not require a large cohort of young workers. This book is a challenging contribution to the development debate. It presents a persuasive case for policies which recognise hopeful trends in relieving the environmental and social pressures of a globally increasing population. | People Who Count Population and Politics Women and Children
