 Women clubs & Associations in Britain (Woburn Education Series) By Peter Gordon 2006 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 0415368669 | PDF | 14 MB Women have been consistently excluded from all manner of clubs and associations over the years, whether as the direct result of an anti-woman policy or indirectly through prohibitive entry requirements, social constraints,or conflict of interestsand tastes. Retaliation from women has taken two directions: some women have set up their own exclusive clubs that reflect their own interests and aims, while others have taken on the men and striven to break down resistance to their joining 'men's' clubs on an equal footing. This book traces the development of the current situation, drawing from a wide range of sources, some of which have never been published before. Looking at the different types of clubs and associations that include women and girls from the WI to the Girl Guides, this book is a rich social history full of fascinating observations and stories, and will be absorbing reading for anyone interested in sociology, women's history or the transformation of Britain's social life.

Although focusing primarily on women, the contributions to this book address issues that affect all workers. Chapters on China, India, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Bangladesh examine the part that female labour activism has played inside, and outside, formal union movements. Whilst documenting the peculiar factors characterising individual national contexts, the book emphasises the similarities in women's experiences of union and labour activism and the barriers women labour activists have faced. It considers the relationships between women union members and activists and male officials and union members, links with other social movements - particularly the broader women's movement - and the details of specific labour campaigns and struggles. In doing so, it provides a full account of the role of women in union activism in Asia, covering all the major economies of the region, and successfully challenging the prevailing conception of Asian women workers as passive and uninterested in industrial issues.  Women and Islam in Early Modern English Literature By Bernadette Andrea 2008 | 196 Pages | ISBN: 0521867649 | PDF | 1 MB In this innovative study, Bernadette Andrea focuses on the contributions of women and their writings in the early modern cultural encounters between England and the Islamic world. She examines previously neglected material, such as the diplomatic correspondence between Queen Elizabeth I and the Ottoman Queen Mother Safiye at the end of the sixteenth century, and resituates canonical accounts, including Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's travelogue of the Ottoman empire at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Her study advances our understanding of how women negotiated conflicting discourses of gender, orientalism, and imperialism at a time when the Ottoman empire was hugely powerful and England was still a marginal nation with limited global influence. This book is a significant contribution to critical and theoretical debates in literary and cultural, postcolonial, women's, and Middle Eastern studies.  Sarah Hendrickx, "Women and Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder: Understanding Life Experiences from Early Childhood to Old Age" English | ISBN: 1849055475 | 2015 | 248 pages | MOBI | 738 KB The difference that being female makes to the diagnosis, life and experiences of a person with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has largely gone unresearched and unreported until recently. In this book Sarah Hendrickx has collected both academic research and personal stories about girls and women on the autism spectrum to present a picture of their feelings, thoughts and experiences at each stage of their lives.  Women and Citizenship (Studies in Feminist Philosophy) By Marilyn Friedman 2005 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0195175344 | PDF | 2 MB The notion of citizenship is complex; it can be at once an identity; a set of rights, privileges, and responsibilities; an elevated and exclusionary status, a relationship between individual and state, and more. In recent decades citizenship has attracted interdisciplinary attention, particularly with the transnational growth of Western capitalism. Yet citizenship's relationship to gender has gone relatively unexplored--despite the globally pervasive denial of citizenship to women, historically and in many places, ongoing today.This highly interdisciplinary volume explores the political and cultural dimensions of citizenship and their relevance to women and gender. Containing essays by a well-known group of scholars, including Iris Marion Young, Alison Jaggar, Martha Nussbaum, and Sandra Bartky, this book examines the conceptual issues and strategies at play in the feminist quest to give women full citizenship status. The contributors take a fresh look at the issues, going beyond conventional critiques, and examine problems in the political and social arrangements, practices, and conditions that diminish women's citizenship in various parts of the world.  Women and Change in Cyprus: Feminisms and Gender in Conflict By Maria Hadjipavlou 2010 | 294 Pages | ISBN: 1845119347 | PDF | 2 MB Following its entry into the EU in 2004, Cyprus has become a major migrant destination. The influx of migrant workers has introduced a more complex ethnic dynamic into a country traditionally considered in light of its history of conflict between its Greek and Turkish ethnic nationals. Maria Hadjipavlou argues that the focus on Cyprus's national problem has long prevented Cypriot women to challenge Cyprus's largely patriarchal and militaristic order to pursue women's rights and public visibility. While many Cypriot women are now liberated from the home, this is often due to female migrant domestic workers -- in effect reproducing patriarchal practices. Hadjipavlou here examines the experiences of women from Greek, Turkish, Armenian, Maronite and Latin communities and migrant domestic workers in the context of ethno-national conflict, ethnic divisions, nationalism and militarism, and argues for a multi-communal feminist movement in Cyprus to better promote women's rights.  Women Risktakers: It's Your Destiny... Reach Higher, Stand Stronger, Go Further (Life Purpose) By Patricia D. Bailey 2004 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 1577945271 | PDF | 1 MB Dr. Patricia Bailey wants women to overcome all obstacles, real or imagined, and step boldly into all God has for them. Using examples of great women of the Bible - Rahab, Esther, Hagar, Hannah, Abigail, Debra, and many others - she shows that the common denominator for accomplishing something great was simply the willingness to be a risktaker for God. God is calling women to a task much greater than themselves - to change their world - And Bailey believes that to do so they must fully understand and embrace the truth that when God gives a mandate He also gives the power to accomplish it. His promises have been proven over the centuries in the lives of women - and are just as certain today. |
