Women's Organizing and Public Policy in Canada and Sweden
Briskin and Eliasson (professors of social science, York U., Canada and professor at the Center for Feminist Research, Uppsala U., Sweden, respectively) explore women's organizing and public policy in two northern welfare states, Canada and Sweden. They evaluate the constraints and possibilities provided by the institutional, political, and discursive contexts in both countries through analysis and comparison of key areas of public policy and the strategic interventions organized by women to challenge and reconstruct these policies. The volume's three sections address domestic policy; vehicles for organizing; and challenges to the boundaries of nation through the EU and NAFTA.

Just Institutions Matter
In this book Bo Rothstein seeks to defend the universal welfare state against a number of important criticisms which it has faced in recent years. He combines genuine philosophical analysis of normative issues concerning what the state ought to do with empirical political scientific research in public policy examining what the state can do. Issues discussed include the relationship between welfare state and civil society, the privatization of social services, and changing values within society. His analysis centres around the importance of political institutions as both normative and empirical entities, and Rothstein argues that the choice of such institutions at certain formative moments in a country's history is what determines the political support for different types of social policy. He thus explains the great variation among contemporary welfare states in terms of differing moral and political logics which have been set in motion by the deliberate choices of political institutions. The book is an important contribution to both philosophical and political debates about the future of the welfare state.

The Masculine Modern Woman
This book takes a fresh approach to one of the most popular cultural symbols of modernity in the 1920s—the "masculine" modern woman. Uncovering discourses on female masculinity in interwar Sweden, a nation that struggled to become modern but not decadent, this study examines cultural representations and debates across several arenas including fashion, film, sports, automobility, medicine and literature. Drawing on rich empirical material, this book traces not only how the masculine modern woman reshaped the imaginary space of what women could be, do and desire, but also how this space was eventually shrunk in order to fit into an emerging vision of a family-oriented "people’s home."
Ottar och kärleken
Nu kommer den stora biografin över en svensk kvinnolegend - Elise Ottesen-Jensen. Hon blev en mytisk centralgestalt inom sexualpolitiken, en ung norska som i kamp med fördomar, sexualskräck och diskriminerande lagar bröt nya vägar och förvandlade Sverige. Gunilla Thorgrens biografi beskriver en orättvist bortglömd person inom den svenska feminismen, men också en makalös och än i dag kontroversiell gestalt i den svenska sexualpolitiska nittonhundratalshistorien. Född i Stavanger lämnade hon tidigt det högkyrkliga hemmet, sökte sig till arbetarrörelsen och blev journalist. Hon mötte den av polisen eftersökte svenske syndikalistiske agitatorn Albert Jensen, flydde med honom ti...

Franska revolutionens rebell : En biografi över Olympe de Gouges
Deklarationen om människans och medborgarens rättigheter antogs 1789 under franska revolutionen. Den gällde dock bara männen. Kvinnorna lämnades fortsatt ofria. Olympe de Gouges, ung änka och ensamstående mamma, självlärd författare, dramatiker och debattör var mäkta upprörd över denna orättvisa. Hon skickade 1791 in ett kompletterande förslag till Frankrikes nationalförsamling: Deklarationen om kvinnans och medborgarinnans rättigheter. Olympe de Gouges engagemang under franska revolutionen är enastående. Hon skrev pjäser, romaner, essäer och mängder av politiska pamfletter. Hon fanns med i upplysningens innersta krets. Hon var pionjär som feminist, antirasist och ant...
