Working Women, 1800-2017
This book examines how, over the past 300 years or so, women have adapted their work methods, means of subsistence and daily routine to fulfil their dual role as carers and breadwinners. From the industrial revolution, which ended agrarian-based subsistence and meant an exodus towards the cities for many families, to the digital revolution, which redefined the work environment, working hours and even in some cases biological functions, women have succeeded in meeting the challenge of changing work practices, social expectations and economic and family needs. Although women’s work, both past and present, is a much-researched area, this volume sheds new light on the subject by combining the approach of historians, sociologists, and language and culture specialists, and applying it to different countries. Drawing upon original fieldwork and little-known archives, the book will be of interest not only to an academic audience, but to anyone wanting to know more about gender, family, and labour issues across Europe between the 19th and 21st centuries.
The Book Of Women's Love
First published in 2005. The first part of this book is an historical study of the Hebrew written production on women's healthcare and of Jewish women's lives and experiences regarding the care of their bodies during the late Middle Ages in the Mediterranean West. The aim is to restore value to feminine knowledge and practices that were significant then and remain so today. The second part presents an edition translated into English with commentary of the Hebrew compilation Sefer Ahavat Nashim, the Book of Women's Love. This was compiled in the late Middle Ages and is preserved in a single manuscript from Catalonia-Provence. Its contents are concerned with magic, sexuality, cosmetics, and gynecology - areas of knowledge essentially, though not exclusively, related to women. The author focuses on the relation between women and health care and examines both women's knowledge and knowledge about women. This pioneering work makes a valuable contribution to the history of Jewish culture and Jewish women during the Middle Ages, and also makes a substantial contribution to the history of medicine.

Late Medieval Jewish Identities
Medieval Iberia offers one of the few examples of coexistence over an extended period of time between Jews, Muslims, and Christians in pre-modern Europe. Taking the Jewish community as a focal point, this book thoroughly explores the various “borders”—geographical divides, religious affiliations, gender boundaries, genre divisions—that ruled the lives and intellectual production of late medieval Jews. By shedding new light on the ways in which these boundaries generated the Jewish communities’ multiple, overlapping, and conflicting identities, this book breaks new ground in the study of cultural exchange in the Middle Ages.
Mujeres migrantes
La errancia femenina en la época contemporánea constituye el tema central de este volumen que se acerca a las corrientes migratorias desde la perspectiva del género y la sexualidad. Los distintos capítulos recogen las reflexiones de un grupo interdisciplinar de especialistas sobre desplazamientos migratorios —nacionales e internacionales— y aborda las construcciones identitarias, representaciones e imaginarios de las migrantes en la opinión pública y en los discursos socioculturales. 80 años después del éxodo republicano, y en un contexto internacional complejo, con millones de seres humanos obligados a salir de sus países de origen huyendo de conflictos bélicos, estas cuestiones tienen una vigencia absoluta. La obra aborda las migraciones de mujeres y la búsqueda de la identidad desde la perspectiva del género, la etnicidad y la sexualidad. Libro dirigido al público universitario en general y especialmente al especializado en los estudios feministas y de género, así como personas interesadas en el fenómeno de los desplazamientos de población y de las migraciones femeninas desde cualquier punto de vista.
