Lynchburg
Once the primary hunting ground of the Monocan Indians and later a harmonious common area shared with the Quakers, Lynchburg was a crossroads for various cultures even before its founding following the French and Indian War. With roots in the prosperous tobacco fields, the City of Seven Hills became one of the nation's wealthiest communities by the Civil War. During the robust and arduous times to come, Lynchburg continued to thrive by developing diverse industries and eventually becoming a respected educational center.

Women's Groups and Equality in British Trade Unions
Within industrial relations, the mainstream literature has not shown much interest in women as the subjects or shapers of research. This study shows the centrality of women's organizing to unionism and women's experience of unions, and provides insights into the circumstances necessary for women's sustained activism. It examines union operations and how women's groups influence and are influenced by them. It synthesizes research and theory from different literatures, including industrial relations, gender studies and social psychology. It contributes an analysis of the organizational identity of individual unions and women's groups. It also examines the complex relations between unions and their women's groups within particular institutions, including the little-examined area of women's engagement in less formal as well as mainstream union activity. Finally, it develops a number of key recommendations for both women's groups and union strategy, firmly based on the empirical findings.

The Life and Work of Germany's Founding Feminist, Louise Otto-Peters, 1819-1895
The book places Otto-Peter's literary work in a historical and biographical framework. In the 1840s she investigated the condition of the German working class in a way that invites comparison with Engels, and used the material for early novels. Later in life she was involved with a number of women's organizations and edited a journal of women's emancipations; all these developments are recounted in detail, with helpful references to parallel movements in Britain and America.
Education and Empowerment Among Dalit (untouchable) Women in India
This book explores the problems of how caste and gender issues are related to the education and empowerment of rural Dalit women in India. The key focus is on the presentation of Dalit female voices regarding their educational experiences. Specifically, this study explores the nature and role of education and its relationship to empowerment among thirty-three poor, rural Dalit women and girls who volunteered to become involved with an explicit women's empowerment project, the Mahila Samakhya program in Karnataka (MSK) during the years 1994 to 1995. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of development: sociology, cultural studies and education; caste, gender, post-modern and subaltern academics and students, the general public and policy makers in India; Dalits and Dalit women in particular.
Women's Voices in the Fiction of Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865)
Dr. Camus' study first tries to reinstate Gaskell as one of the significant novelists of the mid Victorian period through looking at her work as a whole, avoiding the usual dividing line between her condition-of-England novels and her more intimate fiction. It then aims at inscribing Gaskell in the tradition of women writers who wrote not only for literary posterity but also to express and defend a woman's vision of the world. The feminist aspect of Gaskell's writing is uncovered here in all its determination but also in its hesitations.
Women Contesting the Mainstream Discourses of the Art World
A neglected area of publishing in the visual arts is that of women's perceptions and strategies for sustaining their careers as artists. This book reports on research which investigated the formative life experiences of nine women and how they perceived their positions as students, artists, art teachers and family members in relation to the discourses dominant in their lives. The study aimed to identify new discursive practices undertaken by the women to contest their positioning. It used feminist poststructuralist methodology that acknowledged the notion of constitution and positioning of the subject in discourse. This innovative methodology is valuable for researchers in a range of discipl...
