Education Into the 21st Century
Probing the abilities and dis-abilities of women in education from the mid- 19th century to the present, this work brings historical analysis, classroom research, and theoretical reflection to bear on gender issues in education.
Social Justice Feminists in the United States and Germany
Women reformers in the United States and Germany maintained a brisk dialogue between 1885 and 1933. Drawing on one another's expertise, they sought to alleviate a wide array of social injustices generated by industrial capitalism, such as child labor and the exploitation of women in the workplace. This book presents and interprets documents from that exchange, most previously unknown to historians, which show how these interactions reflected the political cultures of the two nations. On both sides of the Atlantic, women reformers pursued social justice strategies. The documents discussed here reveal the influence of German factory legislation on debates in the United States, point out the differing contexts of the suffrage movement, compare pacifist and antipacifist reactions of women to World War I, and trace shifts in the feminist movements of both countries after the war. Social Justice Feminists in the United States and Germany provides insight into the efforts of American and German women over half a century of profound social change. Through their dialogue, these women explicate their larger political cultures and the place they occupied in them.
Everyday Sexism in the Third Millennium
Despite a common perception that many of the goals of feminism have been achieved, sexism is still high in the nation's collective consciousness--as reflected by public reaction to issues such as the O.J. Simpson trial and the Clarence Thomas hearings. This collection features new and original research on the range of sexism still faced every day by women in U.S. society.
Globalization and Inequalities
How has globalization changed social inequality? Why do Americans die younger than Europeans, despite larger incomes? Is there an alternative to neoliberalism? Who are the champions of social democracy? Why are some countries more violent than others? In this groundbreaking book, Sylvia Walby examines the many changing forms of social inequality and their intersectionalities at both country and global levels. She shows how the contest between different modernities and conceptions of progress shape the present and future. The book re-thinks the nature of economy, polity, civil society and violence. It places globalization and inequalities at the centre of an innovative new understanding of modernity and progress and demonstrates the power of these theoretical reformulations in practice, drawing on global data and in-depth analysis of the US and EU. Walby analyses the tensions between the different forces that are shaping global futures. She examines the regulation and deregulation of employment and welfare; domestic and public gender regimes; secular and religious polities; path dependent trajectories and global political waves; and global inequalities and human rights.
Interrogating Women's Education
"The book attempts first to focus on the family, socialisation and education, and then on organisational aspects of universities and professional life of women. It explores the paradoxes in the lives of women by interrogating the process of formal education. On the one hand, new opportunities in education and career are expanding the options of women, whereas on the other, most women do not make choices on the bases of their intellectual capacities and aspirations. Thought provoking, critical and analytical, this anthology will be invaluable to scholars, policy-makers, planners and activists."
