Citizenship and Democratization: Perspectives from Different Gender-Theoretical Approaches
The year 1918 was significant in many ways, seeing the end of World War 1. At the same time, the impact and transformational effects of this event enabled civil society activists and politically institutionalised actors in European countries to pick up the threads of democratic social movements and parliamentary aspirations, and make use of “political opportunity structures” to obtain citizen rights for larger parts of the population. One result of this process – albeit with a difference between European states – was that more groups in society gained suffrage. Amongst those were large sections of the working class and women. While the vote was won for some new social groups in Europ...
Gender and Protest
For centuries women and other “gendered minorities” had to protest to gain equality. Their demands were often matched by counter-protest from conservative forces within historical societies that intended to return to “old orders” or “good old times.” The present volume will take a closer look at the interrelationship between gender and protest and analyze in detail how gender-related perspectives stimulated protests and initiated historical changes. Through historical case studies that range from antiquity until modern times, specialists from different countries and disciplines discuss reasons for protest, gender as a factor that stimulated social conflicts, and the power of gendered protests of the past with regards to their impact and long-term impact until today.

The British Women's Suffrage Campaign
This book brings together twelve chapters from feminist historians from around the world to offer new perspectives on aspects of the campaign for women’s suffrage in Britain. Although the focus is on Britain, this volume signals how the women’s suffrage campaign in Britain embraced both national and global aspects. The historical developments and structures that affected women’s lives and suffrage struggles were not limited to national contexts. Early chapters focus on particular individuals both well and lesser known, including Millicent Garrett Fawcett and Emmeline Pankhurst, as well as Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy, Princess Sophia Duleep Singh, Lady Isabel Margesson and Isabella Ford...
Fragile Solidaritäten
Die Frauenbewegung als eine soziale Bewegung gilt als die Agentin der Frauenemanzipation und als Symbol des Freiheitskampfes von Frauen schlechthin. Der gleichberechtigte Zugang zu Erwerbsarbeit und Bildung, basale Staatsbürger_innenrechte wie das Stimmrecht, Recht auf den eigenen Körper und körperliche Unversehrtheit, aber auch die formale Gleichstellung in der Gesetzgebung generell waren und sind wichtige Themen, die damals und bis heute noch von Frauenbewegungen erkämpft wurden und werden. Dabei nutzten die Akteur_innen der Frauenbewegung immer auch neue Formen der Mobilisierung und des Protestes, um ihre Anliegen öffentlichkeitswirksam auf die politische Agenda zu bringen. Ein histo...
The Art of Reverse Engineering
Reverse Engineering is a term that comes originally from the field of mechanical engineering. Reverse Engineering indicates the process of analysing an existing object or system by laying out its construction plan to then rebuild it in every detail. This manner of reconstruction allows for modifications and adjustments to new demands and requirements, it signifies creative appropriation, democratisation of knowledge, further development. The contributions in this volume take Reverse Engineering to another level, applying it to the fields of arts, sciences and politics in an attempt to reveal the procedures of culture and technology at work, and the importance of access, knowledge and skills in reshaping our present times and future.

Wie gelang Frauen der Zugang zu Berufen, die nach den gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen des 19. Jahrhunderts Männern vorbehalten sein sollten? Welche Rolle spielte die Frauenbewegung bei der Professionalisierung dieser Berufstätigkeiten? Mittels welcher Argumente sollte bekräftigt werden, dass Frauen für diese Berufe unverzichtbar und notwendig seien? Welche Gegenstimmen und Reaktionen traten ihnen entgegen? Wie verwoben sich Klassen- und Geschlechterfragen in den öffentlich geführten Berufsdebatten? Am Beispiel von Gärtnerinnen, Fotografinnen, Gefängnisbeamtinnen und Haushaltungslehrerinnen verdeutlicht Mette Bartels die historischen Wurzeln aktueller Debatten um weibliche Berufstätigkeit, Emanzipation und Gleichberechtigung.
