The Palgrave Handbook of Communist Women Activists around the World
This Handbook addresses the role of women in communism as a global, social and political movement for the first time, exploring their lives, forms of activism, political strategies and transnational networks. Comprising twenty-five chapters, based on new and primary research, the book presents the lives of self-identified communist women from a truly international perspective and outlines their struggles against fascism and colonialism, and for women’s emancipation and national liberation. By using the lens of transnational political biography, the chapters capture the broader picture of these women’s lives, unpacking the links between the so-called public and private, the power structur...
The Beauty Paradox
Why must beauty be seen as a binary that is either oppressive or empowering for women? The Beauty Paradox: Femininity in the Age of Selfies argues that women’s experiences of beauty as both validating and belittling is grounded in the contradictory injunctions that they receive regarding their participation in beauty culture. Piazzesi identifies the four main paradoxes of Western beauty culture: the worth paradox, the authenticity paradox, the power paradox, and the commitment paradox and examines how they trail women’s everyday experiences, choices, and reflections regarding beauty. She examines the role of beauty in women’s everyday lives and in a variety of contexts: informal social encounters, work and career settings, parenting, intergenerational relationships, self-care, and online networking practices. The author broadens the current discourse on beauty with an emphasis on the digital world, primarily the use of selfies.
Politics in the Marketplace
Politics in the Marketplace integrates politics, economics, and gender to ask how the Dames des Halles invented notions of citizenship through everyday trade during the French Revolution. While analyzing how marketplace actors shaped nascent democracy and capitalism, it challenges the interpretation that revolutionary citizenship was inherently masculine from the outset.

The Oxford Handbook of French Politics
The Oxford Handbook of French Politics provides a comprehensive and comparative overview of the French political system through the lens of political science. The Handbook is organized into three parts: the first part identifies foundational concepts for the French case, including chapters on republicanism and social welfare; the second part focuses on thematic large-scale processes, such identity, governance, and globalization; while the third part examines a wide range of issues relating to substantive politics and policy, among which are chapters on political representation, political culture, social movements, economic policy, gender policy, and defense and security policy. The volume brings together established and emerging scholars and seeks to examine the French political system from a comparative perspective. The contributors provide a state-of-the-art review both of the comparative scholarly literature and the study of the French case, making The Oxford Handbook of French Politics an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the foundations of contemporary political life in France.
Women, Work, and Activism
The thirteen critical and well-documented chapters of Women, Work and Activism examine women’s labor struggle from late nineteenth-century Portuguese mutual societies to Yugoslav peasant women’s work in the 1930s, and from the Catalan labor movement under the Franco dictatorship to workplace democracy in the United States. The authors portray women's labor activism in a wide variety of contexts. This includes spontaneous resistance to masculinist trade unionism, the feminist engagement of women workers, the activism of communist wives of workers, and female long-distance migration, among others.

#MeToo. Le combat continue
Mediapart est le journal qui a le plus documenté et accompagné en France ce « mouvement social mondial » qu’est devenu #MeToo. Ce livre témoigne de ce bouleversement politique, social, intime et culturel qui ne s’arrête plus depuis l’émergence planétaire du fameux hashtag à l’automne 2017. On y trouve des enquêtes et des analyses au plus près des mobilisations et des changements politiques, précédés ou suivis d’entretiens inédits avec des spécialistes (sociologues, historien·nes, etc.) dont Michelle Perrot, Mérabha Benchikh, Christelle Taraud, Fanny Gallot, Alex Mahoudeau, Chowra Makaremi, Kaoutar Harchi. Ainsi, cet ensemble de contributions permet-il de saisir ce...
L'art est une arme de combat féministe
Que signifie la pratique artistique féminine, professionnelle et amateure ? C’est la question à laquelle s’efforce de répondre ce volume en faisant appel à des disciplines multiples et en étudiant des contextes historico-politiques et des aires géographiques contrastés. La domination masculine, et ses formes aigües de violence contre les femmes, engage en effet l’acte créateur féminin, qu’il soit sciemment féministe ou non, dans la voie de la subversion et de l’émancipation. Militantes MLF, Femen, ancienne guerillera salvadorienne ou encore artistes reconnues s’élèvent également contre les systèmes d’oppression économique et racialiste. C’est ainsi que les arts plastiques, le cinéma (de fiction et documentaire), la danse, la poésie ou encore le théâtre de Jacqueline Audry, Gioconda Belli Griselda Gambaro, Ana Istarú, Maggie Hadleigh-West, Rokhsareh Ghaem Maghami, Sarah Maldoror, Silvia Ethel Matus Avelar, Sofie Peeters, Ana María Rodas Shoshana Roberts, Clementina Suárez et Nil Yalter, constituent une véritable arme de combat.
