Gender and Well-Being in Europe
This book is the first of four books based on a series of symposia funded by COST, which is an intergovernmental framework for the promotion of European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research. It draws on both historical and contemporary European case-studies to offer a sophisticated account of the relationship between gender and well-being. The authors focus on key discussions of the changing conceptions of well-being from early twentieth century calculations of the relationship between income and the cost-of-living, to more recent critiques from feminist writers. Their fascinating answers allow them to significantly challenge the issue with the idea that well-being is not only associated with income or opulence but also relates to more abstract concepts including capabilities, freedom, and agency of different women and men and will be of considerable interest to economic and social historians, sociologists of health, gender, sexuality and economists.

Dust and Dignity
What makes domestic work a bad job, even after efforts to formalize and improve working conditions? Erynn Masi de Casanova's case study, based partly on collaborative research conducted with Ecuador's pioneer domestic workers' organization, examines three reasons for persistent exploitation. First, the tasks of social reproduction are devalued. Second, informal work arrangements escape regulation. And third, unequal class relations are built into this type of employment. Accessible to advocates and policymakers as well as academics, this book provides both theoretical discussions about domestic work and concrete ideas for improving women's lives. Drawing on workers' stories of lucha, trabajo...
What is Work?
Every society throughout history has defined what counts as work and what doesn’t. And more often than not, those lines of demarcation are inextricable from considerations of gender. What Is Work? offers a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding labor within the highly gendered realm of household economies. Drawing from scholarship on gender history, economic sociology, family history, civil law, and feminist economics, these essays explore the changing and often contested boundaries between what was and is considered work in different Euro-American contexts over several centuries, with an eye to the ambiguities and biases that have shaped mainstream conceptions of work across all social sectors.

Não quero ter filhos
"Atenção, mulheres que não querem ter filhos. Me contem suas experiências." Quando a autora Bruna Maia lançou essa questão em suas redes sociais, não esperava receber tantas respostas. Foram mais de 2300 depoimentos (incluindo pessoas trans e não-binárias). Desse total, vinte pessoas foram escolhidas para narrar suas histórias em detalhes. Algumas têm medo da gestação, de ver a barriga crescendo. Outras cansaram de cuidar. Várias querem focar na carreira ou ter tempo para se divertir. Os motivos por trás da escolha de não ter filhos são vários, e, nesse misto de reflexão teórica, reportagem e ensaio confessional, a autora discorre sobre eles em tom ora humorístico, ora dramático. Em uma jornada intelectual e emocional ilustrada com seu reconhecido traço, Bruna Maia questiona pressupostos religiosos, sociais, biológicos e culturais da história ocidental, mirando na universalização dos direitos reprodutivos.

¿Eres tú o esperamos a otro? (Lc 7,19)
Ser salvadas por Jesucristo, ¿significa algo hoy? El encuentro con Jesucristo es liberador y profundamente humanizante. En una cultura androcéntrica, ser salvada posee un significado de dependencia que justifica las desigualdades y cierta violencia normalizada en distintas dimensiones de la vida. Si la salvación es una experiencia central y definitiva del seguimiento cristiano, ser portadoras de salvación hace de las mujeres protagonistas de este siglo, ya que hacen que el mundo se replantee las categorías culturales y la praxis sociocomunitaria y, en nuestra tradición, cuestionan el planteamiento jerárquico y frecuentemente patriarcal. Esperamos que este libro sirva de acicate al diálogo teológico del que emerjan claves para transformar el mundo.
