Cover of Feminist Political Economy

Feminist Political Economy

by Sara Cantillon and Sara Stevano

Published 31 March 2021

Feminist political economy is essential to understanding the gendered dimensions of contemporary capitalism. Motivated by the rejection of gender-blind approaches in economics and political economy, feminist political economy sheds new light on the power relations that shape household, national and global dynamics. It recognizes and explores the relations between the economic, the social and the political in the reproduction of inequality and engages with debates that are relevant for both the g...

A Breath of Life

by Sylvia Barack Fishman

Published 31 March 1995

Today's Jewish women, successfully availing themselves of the increased educational and occupational opportunities that feminism has encouraged, feel a new sense of self and entitlement. Yet as feminist advances have opened possibilities, they also have called into question traditional roles. The challenge to Jewish women today is to preserve the Jewish community and guarantee its survival while creating meaningful new social and spiritual models that respond to feminist enlightenment. Drawing o...

Cover of Contemporary Feminist Pragmatism

Contemporary Feminist Pragmatism (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)

Published 1 January 2012
Adult

The notion of "feminist pragmatism" or "pragmatist feminism" has been around since Charlene Haddock Seigfried introduced it two decades ago. However, the bulk of the work in this field has been directed toward recovering the feminist strain of classical American philosophy, largely through renewed interest in the work of Jane Addams. This exploration of the origins of feminism and pragmatism has been fruitful in building a foundation for theoretical considerations. The editors of this volume b...


Cover of Engendering Judaism

Engendering Judaism

by Rachel Adler

Published 10 September 1999
Adult

This is a pioneering work on what it means to "engender" Jewish tradition-how women's full inclusion can and must transform our understanding and practice of Jewish law, prayer, and marriage. Adler's writing is passionate, sharply intelligent and offers a serious study of traditional biblical and rabbinic texts. Engendering Judaism challenges both mainstream Judaism and feminist dogma and speaks across the movements as well as to Christian theologians and feminists.

Cover of Cities and Sexualities

Cities and Sexualities (Routledge Critical Introductions to Urbanism and the City)

by Phil Hubbard

Published 19 October 2011

From the hotspots of commercial sex through to the suburbia of twitching curtains, urban life and sexualities appear inseparable. Cities are the source of our most familiar images of sexual practice, and are the spaces where new understandings of sexuality take shape. In an era of global business and tourism, cities are also the hubs around which a global sex trade is organised and where virtual sex content is obsessively produced and consumed. Detailing the relationships between sexed bodies, s...


Cover of Get Real

Get Real

by Eliane Glaser

Published 1 March 2012
Adult

It's time to radically alter the way we perceive the world. It's time to get real. Multinational oil corporations trumpet their green credentials. Shadowy billionaires orchestrate 'grassroots' political movements. Public-spending cuts target the poor, but supposedly 'give power to the people'. To Eliane Glaser, these are all signs of the maddeningly surreal gap between appearance and reality in modern life. We are living in a looking-glass world in which reality is spun and c...

Bread and Roses

by Andrea D'Atri

Published 20 December 2020

Is it possible to develop a radical socialist feminism that fights for the emancipation of women and of all humankind? This book is a journey through the history of feminism. Using the concrete struggles of women, the Marxist feminist Andrea D'Atri traces the history of the women's and workers' movement from the French Revolution to Queer Theory. She analyzes the divergent paths feminists have woven for their liberation from oppression and uncovers where they have hit dead ends. With the globa...

Cover of Latin American Women's Writing

Latin American Women's Writing (Oxford Hispanic Studies)

Published 10 October 1996

The twelve essays in this volume on Latin American women's writing are written from an explicitly theoretical and academic feminist perspective. The contributors - leading female academics working in Latin America, the US, and Europe - rethink notions of gendered and cultural identity and examine the specific discursive practices of a range of female-authored texts. The volume has been designed to appeal to various academic needs. It offers fresh readings of canonized writers, such as Marie Lui...


Cover of When Hens Crow

When Hens Crow

by Sylvia D. Hoffert

Published 1 October 1995

In 1852 the New York Daily Herald described leaders of the woman's rights movement as ""hens that crow."" Using speeches, pamphlets, newspaper reports, editorials, and personal papers, Sylvia Hoffert discusses how ideology, language, and strategies of early woman's rights advocates influenced a new political culture grudgingly inclusive of women. She shows the impact of philosophies of republicanism, natural rights, utilitarianism, and the Scottish Common Sense School in helping activists move b...


Cover of Overloaded

Overloaded

Published 1 March 2000
Adult

This volume examines the phenomenon of laddishness and the cult of the girlie in film, TV, advertising, music, politics, literature and society. It interprets these trends as a nostalgic longing for a pre-feminist society which, through the medium of comedy and irony, has been manipulated by popular media as a liberation from political correctness. Contrasting the culture icons of the 1990s with the 1970s tough chicks and the 1980s New Man and Have-It-All Woman, the book aims to show how the rhe...

Too Much

by Rachel Vorona Cote

Published 25 February 2020
Adult

Lacing cultural criticism, Victorian literature, and storytelling together, "TOO MUCH spills over: with intellect, with sparkling prose, and with the brainy arguments of Vorona Cote, who posits that women are all, in some way or another, still susceptible to being called too much." (Esme Weijun Wang) A weeping woman is a monster. So too is a fat woman, a horny woman, a woman shrieking with laughter. Women who are one or more of these things have heard, or perhaps simply intuited, that we are rep...

Cover of Faithful and Fearless

Faithful and Fearless (Princeton Studies in American Politics: Historical, International, and Comparative Perspectives)

by Mary Fainsod Katzenstein

Published 24 September 1998

Riots and demonstrations, the lifeblood of American social and political protest in the 1960s, are now largely a historical memory. But Mary Fainsod Katzenstein argues that protest has not disappeared--it has simply moved off the streets into the country's core institutions. As a result, conflicts over sexual harassment, affirmative action, and the rights of women, gays and lesbians, and people of color now touch us more than ever in our daily lives, whether we are among those seeking change or...
