Pepin-Neff coins the term 'Tolerable Inequality' to examine the ways in which politicians and political actors use the policy process as a tool to make inequality acceptable as a way of keeping power and avoiding penalties.Power is built on the illusion of differences. The public policy process is used to reinforce the illusions of inferiority and superiority that help to keep power in the hands of the powerful. Tolerable Inequality reinforces these differences by diverting attention away from issues that would give marginalized people power, reducing differences between public expectations and reality, and policy reactions that fortify existing social status. The three tactics of Tolerable Inequality include: focused inattention and inaction, deviation harmonization of differences between expectations and perceived reality, and equality governance, where equality is distributed in the policy process relative to conditional compliance and comparative identity. The book explores this concept within the context of LGBTQ+ policy and presents frameworks that allow the public to engage in the policy process in ways that highlight the role of expected political penalties in order to reclaim policymaking in the public interest.A comprehensive text for researchers and students in LGBTQ studies, American Studies, Policy Studies, and Legislative Studies.

Women, Wars and Public Policies shatters the boundaries of conventional antiracism, offering an examination of white supremacy's persistence through the lens of humanity's most pressing challenges. The author tackles migration, war, national security, terrorism, nationalism, and patriarchy, exposing institutionalized oppressions across continents and centuries. Defying identity politics, this book demonstrates the pervasiveness of Western cultural dominance and the need to radically address dominant narratives.The author presents three interrelated case studies. They include Eleanor Roosevelt's advocacy for Japanese Americans and African Americans; connections between Roosevelt's politics and those of US President Donald Trump including how Trump weaponized masculinity, laying the groundwork for decimating refugee and asylum policies; Germany's culture of remembrance and Chancellor Angela Merkel's approach to the so-called migrant crisis.Transcending racial, national, and disciplinary boundaries and applying an intersectional framework, Women, Wars and Public Policies exposes the parallels between historical injustices and contemporary actions, forcing a re-examination of national narratives and institutionalized multiculturalism. As white supremacist ideologies gain traction and migration debates continue to dominate politics, this work provides globally significant insights into gender and race, demanding that we confront our shared histories and futures.

Veiled Threats challenges the idea that women in violent terrorist groups lack agency. Too often, these women are assumed to be controlled by men: their fathers, their husbands, or some other male relative. Mia Bloom contests this narrow understanding. Although extremist groups often control different aspects of women's lives, including their religious obligations or dress, jihadi women have asserted themselves in myriad ways. Bloom interrogates the prevailing perceptions about women's involvement in violent extremism exclusively as victims: manipulated, drugged, or coerced. Following her pioneering work on women in Bombshell, Bloom lifts the veil of the secret world of women in jihadi groups to provide a nuanced and complex explanation of their motivations and challenge misperceptions about women's agency. Veiled Threats explores the range of roles of the women involved in jihad-not only across secular and religious groups but within affiliated religious groups-and examines how these extremist groups have used rape as a weapon of war. Bloom explains how women are used and abused, deployed and destroyed, and the many ways in which their roles in terrorism have evolved over the past three decades.

In applying an intersectional feminist legal analysis of the European Court of Human Rights' case law in a variety of human rights issues, this book reveals a different and nuanced understanding of the gender issues.Case law within the ECtHR which does not explicitly raise gender issues may have gendered consequences. Profound developments have occurred in Europe in several related areas, including gender equality case law in the context of the prohibition of discrimination under Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights; non-conventional parenting rights; discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity; rights of asylum seekers, and family reunification rights in the past few decades. The analysis reveals the extent to which the Court considers an applicant's gender, intersectional inequalities, and the concept of 'vulnerability' in its case law. This book contributes to existing literature on gender equality, gender and judging in supranational courts. Furthermore, it highlights the intersectional discrimination experienced by women and diasporic or minoritised groups by uncovering new dimensions of vulnerabilities.This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of European human rights law, gender and intersectional issues.

Barnes, Ash, Sexual and Physical Violence in Australian Punk and Hardcore Music Scenes. (Routledge Studies in Crime, Culture and Media) 184 pp. 2025:2 (Routledge, UK) <737-688>

Focused on the Australian punk and hardcore music scene, this book provides an innovative balance between the acknowledgement of harm and the celebration of pleasure in live music spaces.Despite decades of advocacy within vibrant music communities, stories of sexual and physical violence persist. Although anecdotally common in alternative music cultures, the interpretation and experiences of harm have remained absent from criminological analysis. Gradients of harm dictate and frame certain behaviour as 'unacceptable' or 'encouraged' under specific social conditions. As explored through qualitative research interviews and the author's lived experience, violence within music scenes is a complex, personal, and collective experience.Issues such as discrimination, social inequality, stereotyping and rape myth acceptance are instrumental in shaping how people in the punk and hardcore scenes fail to recognise, minimize, and dismiss violence in their community. This text questions how and why some people are 'worthy' or 'unworthy' victims of crime, and why harmful behaviour continues within these spaces.Sexual and Physical Violence in Australian Punk and Hardcore Music Scenes will be of interest to researchers in the field of criminology and sociology but is also applicable to a wider academic audience interested in violence, deviance, and subcultures.

Low, Grace, Women's Desistance in a Colonial Context: Lived Experiences from Aotearoa New Zealand. (International Series on Desistance and Rehabilitation) 230 pp. 2025:2 (Routledge, UK) <737-698>

Women's Desistance in a Colonial Context adds to global knowledge of pathways out of crime (desistance) by exploring the desistance narratives of 15 women with histories of imprisonment in Aotearoa New Zealand (10 of whom identify as Maori, New Zealand's Indigenous population). By voicing these women's experiences, the book adds to desistance research by moving beyond the mainstream Western nations which dominate desistance literature (such as the US and UK), to explore how historical and structural influences - including Aotearoa New Zealand's colonial history - shape women's offending and desistance trajectories.This book explores the women's journeys in and out of crime, including the various socio-structural constraints which could impede the women's desistance efforts, especially for Maori women, who are overrepresented in Aotearoa New Zealand's prison population. The book explores the influence of the women's personal relationships (with families of origin/whanau, intimate partners, friends/associates, and children) and their institutional interactions (i.e., their experiences of employment, drug/alcohol addiction treatment and other forms of rehabilitative support). The book also takes a close look at the role of housing - and the more subjective notion of 'home' - in the women's offending and desistance journeys. It makes recommendations for policy and practice to support women leaving prison in Aotearoa New Zealand (and internationally) with an emphasis on the importance of wider community support.The book makes an original contribution to desistance literature by bringing greater conceptual clarity to gendered aspects of the desistance process and how these manifest in a colonial setting. It will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, desistance, gender studies, recovery from addiction, and to practitioners and policy makers in these fields.

Domestic violence legislation is a key response to the entrenched social problem of intimate partner violence across the globe, yet little is known about the legal players who implement these laws in terms of their perceptions of intimate partner violence and femicide. Through in-depth, critical analysis of judicial transcripts, this book demonstrates that legal understandings of intimate partner femicide continue to be based upon outdated notions of 'couple conflict' and gender-neutral constructions of intimate partner violence. Contending that judicial understandings of 'what happened' must be re-aligned with feminist understandings of intimate partner violence and femicide, Intimate Partner Femicide: Contesting the Legal Story ... represents a call to uphold the rights of women to live free from male-perpetrated violence and femicide. This book will therefore appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in gendered violence, law, social justice and criminology.

Why human biology is far more expansive than the simple categories of female and maleBeing human entails an astonishingly complex interplay of biology and culture, and while there are important differences between women and men, there is a lot more variation and overlap than we may realize. Sex Is a Spectrum offers a bold new paradigm for understanding the biology of sex, drawing on the latest science to explain why the binary view of the sexes is fundamentally flawed-and why having XX or XY chromosomes isn't as conclusive as some would have us believe.In this lively and provocative book, leading biological anthropologist Agustin Fuentes begins by tracing the origin and evolution of sex, describing the many ways in the animal kingdom of being female, male, or both. Turning to humans, he presents compelling evidence from the fossil and archaeological record that attests to the diversity of our ancestors' sexual bonds, gender roles, and family and community structures, and shows how the same holds true in the lived experiences of people today. Fuentes tackles hot button debates around sports and medicine, explaining why we can acknowledge that females and males are not the same while also embracing a biocultural reality where none of us fits neatly into only one of two categories.Bringing clarity and reason to a contentious issue, Sex Is a Spectrum shares a scientist's perspective on why a binary view of sex and gender is not only misguided but harmful, and why there are multitudes of ways to being human.

Historical research into female entrepreneurs has become a burgeoning field in recent years. However, there is still a lack of studies of businesswomen based on their personal documents, and such documents seem to be rare. This book, an appraisal of the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century East-Icelandic businesswoman Palina Waage (1864-1935), fills that gap. It investigates the agency of a small-scale female entrepreneur, primarily based on her autobiography, diaries and letters, using the methodology of the history of experience and 'lived experience'.

The increased interest in entrepreneurial ecosystems often build on the underlying assumption that entrepreneurs have equal access to resources, participation and support. However, women are underrepresented in successful entrepreneurial ecosystems and a persistent gender bias continues to exist. This bias is reflected in assumptions about the typical entrepreneur. It is white American men that spring to mind, portrayed as entrepreneurial superheroes, associated with risk-taking and big money. That they are men is often taken for granted; with successful female entrepreneurs seldom elevated in the same way. This illustrates how entrepreneurship is gendered, with implications for resource access and chances of success. The entrepreneurial ecosystem is not a level playing field.This book gives insights on how to remedy gendered challenges that pose problems not only for individuals but also for the entrepreneurial ecosystem. By analysing ways of making entrepreneurial ecosystems more gender-inclusive, the chapters collectively highlight the impact of gender dynamics on entrepreneurial ecosystems and introduce innovative methods for fostering inclusivity. With examples from around the globe, they emphasise the actors and factors that matter for gender-inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems.The book is interdisciplinary and will appeal to scholars, upper-level students and policy makers interested in entrepreneurship and gender inclusivity.

ISBN 978-1-032-37245-7 hard ¥38,610.- (税込) GB￡ 135.00

This book provides an innovative and policy-oriented analysis of gender stereotypes in advertising regulation from a socio-legal perspective.Examining the law and policy of the European Union and three case studies in Sweden, Spain and the UK, the book draws upon interviews, focus group data and desk research to critically assess the legislation and regulation on the use of gender stereotypes in advertising. Its focus is on the largely neglected question of the EU's competence in the area of gender. And to assess this, the book considers various forms of 'good practice' through legislation, regulation and policy. It also explores the proscribing of gender stereotypes in advertising through 'soft law' measures such as self-regulation at state level, and action programmes and roadmaps at EU level. Finally, it critiques the lack of progress to achieve a unified code on the regulation of gender stereotypes, whilst imagining what such a code might look like.The book will appeal to academics with research and teaching interests in EU law, gender equality, and comparative law, as well as academics and practitioners involved with media and advertising regulation, anti-discrimination law, and freedom of expression.

More African women than men become entrepreneurs, with women often balancing time caring for their households with small enterprises such as setting up shops in front of their homes, renting market stalls, or setting up hairstyling businesses.This book considers these micro-level instances of entrepreneurship, as well as cases of more established high-status entrepreneurs, to build a picture of women entrepreneurs in West African societies, and their wider role in socio-economic development. Small and medium enterprises are seen as agents of change in the global south, vital for job creation and poverty reduction, but women often face barriers which hinder their entrepreneurial success, such as lack of funding, useful networks, or inhibitive gender stereotypes. This book highlights cases of gender and economic success, to demonstrate the significant potential of the female economy to generate progress and change.This book will be an important read for students and researchers of entrepreneurship, business, gender, development, and economic sociology in Africa.

Women and the Jet Age is a global history of postwar aviation that examines how states nurtured airlines for competing political and economic goals during the Cold War. While previous histories almost exclusively stress American and Western European aviation progress, Phil Tiemeyer examines how smaller, poorer states in socialist Eastern Europe and in the postcolonial Global South utilized airlines of their own to forge rival pathways to modernization. Part of this modernization involved norms for working women. Stewardesses at airlines around the globe encountered novel threats to their dignity as the Jet Age approached. By the late 1960s, stewardesses endured harsh objectification: high hem lines, tight uniforms, and raunchy marketing were touted as modern and liberated. These women, whether from West, East, or South, forged their own pathways to achieve greater dignity at work. In Women and the Jet Age, Tiemeyer's global account of the rise of air travel and of early feminist strivings among stewardesses is one of the first histories to place such developments-political, economic, and feminist-in dialogue with each other.

The personal nature of domestic labor, and its location in the privacy of the employer's home, means that domestic workers have long struggled for equitable and consistent labor rights. The dominant discourse regards the home as separate from work, so envisioning what its legal regulation would look like is remarkably challenging. In Bringing Law Home, Katherine Eva Maich offers a uniquely comparative and historical study of labor struggles for domestic workers in New York City and Lima, Peru. She argues that if the home is to be a place of work then it must also be captured in the legal infrastructures that regulate work. Yet, even progressive labor laws for domestic workers in each city are stifled by historically-entrenched patterns of gendered racialization and labor informality. Peruvian law extends to household workers only half of the labor protections afforded to other occupations. In New York City, the law grants negligible protections and deliberately eschews language around immigration. Maich finds that coloniality is deeply embedded in contemporary relations of service, revealing important distinctions in how we understand power, domination, and inequality in the home and the workplace.

Populations are growing older in a public health climate where brittle public services are struggling to cope with the demands associated with ageing populations. LGBTQ+ populations also continue to grow in line with these trends but receive much less attention in the scholarly debate. This short work offers a theoretical and practical exploration of LGBTQ+ ageing in the UK, drawing on a blend of public health and occupational therapy theory, and phenomenology. Based on original primary evidence gathered through a survey and interviews, Fox and Hannis kickstart a new and much-needed discourse in the literature about hidden populations during the WHO's Decade of Healthy Ageing. Advancing the discourse on ageing by applying multiple theoretical bases to explain how minority ageing populations interact with, and are shaped by, their environments over the life course, Fox and Hannis unveil how specific social determinants over the life course impact the health outcomes and engagement with healthy ageing practices of older LGBTQ+ populations. As we navigate the intersection of queer history, public health, and ageing, LGBTQ+ Healthy Ageing serves as a vital resource for scholars, practitioners, and anyone committed to promoting healthy ageing for all.

African American women have disproportionally high prevalence, incidence, and mortality rates for most health conditions in comparison to white women. This book will explore some of the reasons for these disparities including problems within the health care system and societal institutions.The disproportionally high number of COVID-19 deaths in the African American population, especially among African American women, have brought renewed attention to historical racial inequality and the role it plays in the daily lives of American women and black families in general. Recommendations include practical implications of this research include identifying social and financial supports unique to older African American women and determining strategies to strengthen the health needs of African American families, which is also paramount to addressing economic, social and racial disparities of this population. Drawing on data from a variety of sources, this book applies a systematic racism and intersectionality approach to how various social, demographic, economic, and health variables influence the outcomes and the overall health status of older African American women. As such, it will appeal to scholars in Sociology, Social Work, Nursing, Gerontology, Social Policy, Racial and Inequality Studies, African American Studies, Justice Studies, Culture, Ethnicity and Health Studies, and Public Health.

Contemporary Perspectives on Girls' Educational Achievement: What About the Girls? offers fresh insights into girls' perceptions and experiences of educational achievement in the contemporary context.'What about the boys?' is a common exclamation in debates which centre around young people's educational achievements. But what about the girls? Is their success as simple and straightforward as Government produced figures would have us believe it to be? Bringing together the wealth of international research on girls' educational achievement and drawing on insights from over 15 years of the author's own empirical research, this book explores educational achievement as a phenomenon that is affectively and subjectively experienced, which has a much wider field of reference than attainment in tests and examinations. It addresses key issues which are of emerging contemporary relevance - issues that are new, have been overlooked, or have gained new significance and require fresh exploration today.Contemporary Perspectives on Girls' Educational Achievement: What about the Girls? is suitable for students and academic researchers from a range of disciplines such as Education, Psychology, Sociology, Cultural and Media Studies, as well as for educational practitioners with an interest in equalities in education.

The Politics of Love describes the history of Polish intellectual and cultural life, which covertly flourished at home and abroad despite imperial repression between Poland's two great uprisings in 1830-1831 and 1863. Natalie Cornett focuses her study on a group of educated women known as the "Enthusiasts" (Entuzjastki), who were united by their commitment to live as independent women despite the intense nationalism that put the nation above all-including class and gender. The Enthusiasts, led by Narcyza Zmichowska, emphasized sororal love and homosocial bonding in their program to contest both an oppressive imperial regime and constrictive gender roles. Their affective relationships with each other and their decision to remain unmarried, childless, or divorced violated accepted conventions and the patriotic emphasis on the Polish family. By drawing on a large corpus of their letters, diaries, police files, and published works, Cornett describes the Enthusiast movement from its emergence in the 1840s to the death of Narcyza Zmichowska, in 1876. The Politics of Love describes how the Polish intelligentsia was so monomaniacally focused on the struggle for independence that discussion of other social questions was dismissed as "unpatriotic." Its dismissal of the Enthusiasts as socially deviant, despite the Enthusiasts' support for the national cause, reveals the limitations of nationalism as a binding agent and demonstrates how Polish women appropriated and contributed ideas about women's emancipation, nationalism, and religion in a globalizing era of increasing literacy and transnational exchange.

Between the Sheets reveals a space, hidden in plain sight in Third Republican Paris, where deviant sexualities and lives could be experimented with and financed, despite Republican attempts at growing and norming the population through the heterosexual family. That space was the newspaper, which was not simply a tool of normalization and a site of "dominant discourse," as it has frequently been imagined. Reading between the lines, Hannah Frydman shows how, through the Belle Epoque classifieds, it became a tool for living lives otherwise as information flowed from it not just vertically, but also laterally, facilitating person-to-person communication. The sexual relationships, exchanges, and services enabled by this communication were far from utopian: surviving and thriving outside of social norms often required exploiting others. And yet, ethical or otherwise, by attending to these lives and livelihoods enabled by the classifieds, Between the Sheets demonstrates that, thanks to new innovations in media technologies, queer and nonnormative lives in this period were lived in the center, as well as on the margins. It was this centrality, however, that inspired efforts to place new (moral) controls on mass cultural forms and technologies. After World War I, in an interwar moment often characterized as one of sexual liberation, the press's queerness was subjected to ever increasing surveillance and control, with repercussions for press freedom writ large. These repercussions echo into our age of social media, with its promise of unfettered connection, which inspires repressive legislation to keep sexuality (and with it, freedom) in its crosshairs.

A critical look at the difficulties women face in the field of Jewish studies, drawing on quantitative data, personal stories, and the gendered history of the fieldThe field of Jewish studies has expanded significantly in recent years, with increasing numbers of women entering the field. These scholars have brought new perspectives from studies of women, gender, and sexuality. Yet they have also faced institutional and individual obstacles. In this book, Susannah Heschel and Sarah Imhoff examine the place of women and nonbinary people in Jewish studies, arguing that, for both intellectual and ethical reasons, the culture of the field must change.Heschel and Imhoff explore quantitative data regarding women as editors of and contributors to academic journals and anthologies, examine data regarding citations of women's scholarship, and scrutinize women's presence on panels at academic conferences. They analyze the wider context of the contemporary academy, discussing what is distinctive about Jewish studies. They trace the history of the field, its connections to traditional religious studies, and its growth in US institutions, interspersing this with stories of scholars in the field who have experienced harassment and gender discrimination. Finally, they offer suggestions for a reparative path forward.

New Materialism and Intersectionality advances the interplay of intersectionality theories and feminist new materialisms, arguing that co-constitutive influences between these fields will provide feminist and gender studies scholars with improved tools to analyse markers of difference and identity in 21st century realities. In exploring the intersection of new materialisms and intersectionality studies, the volume puts forward a concept of 'the middle'. It refers to the situation-bound mutual impact of material, social, human, and more-than-human elements in the formation of differences, identities, subject positions, and power relations. The chapters elaborate this understanding of the middle in empirical research concerned with the relational emergence of differences in various social, cultural, artistic and ecological settings. The middle is also proposed as a verb, whereby researchers who practise 'middling' cultivate a capacity to account for the open-ended processes and relationships through which intersectional and materially lived differences unfold and reconfigure in particular contexts.This concept of the middle enriches understandings of how intersectional differences exist and can be studied, and what ethical and political implications they involve. The volume will interest scholars and students working with intersectionality, feminist new materialist, and posthumanist theories across the humanities and the social sciences.

革命後のフランスにおける仲介と結婚市場

Matchmaking and the Marriage Market in Postrevolutionary France uncovers the unexplored history of matrimonial agents, their novel marketing tactics, and the rise of personal advertisements to track the commercialization of marriage in nineteenth-century France. Brokers transformed courtship and marriage into forms of commercial exchange, linking them to the burgeoning urban values of abundance, pleasure, and social mobility. By studying agents' and readers' media fictions on love alongside court cases, legislation, and literature surrounding the industry, Andrea Mansker reveals the intimate and socioeconomic pressures of finding a spouse. At the same time, she demonstrates how contemporaries used the business of matrimony to reimagine their public identities, relationships, and courtship rituals following unprecedented historical change due to the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars. The matchmaking business both responded to and helped shape national anxieties over fluctuating nuptial rates and changing laws on marriage and divorce. As a result, marriage itself was reconceived as a commercial contract inseparable from the atomistic and corrupt marketplace. The debates and pressures Mansker describes in Matchmaking and the Marriage Market in Postrevolutionary France are still relevant today. As contemporary online daters likely understand, the possibility of finding a mate in an expanded pool of candidates beyond one's family, locality, and nation offered individuals the liberating opportunity to explore new personas just as it produced a novel sense of danger about these impersonal transactions in the anonymous marketplace.

This collection offers a new look at early modern Catholic Europe through the lens of the diverse experiences of elite women, using a historiographical approach to analyse women's roles through changing political, social, and cultural contexts.Through novel practices and broad social networks, distinguished women assumed prominent roles, from queens and princesses, to aristocrats and great nobles, to women of faith and religion. As the Counter-Reformation and the transition toward Enlightenment ideology swept France, Spain, and Italy, literacy and education became more accessible to upper-class women, who began to create new traditions in place of the old ways that were falling short. The case studies in this volume, ranging from the seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries, uncover the ways in which women were developing leadership skills and preserving status through participation in historical processes that affected real estate, the Church, and the social and family organisation across Catholic Europe.Elite Women in Early Modern Catholic Europe is an ideal resource for students and researchers studying early modern women and Catholic Europe.

Psychoanalysis and the Feminine presents Jacqueline Schaeffer's understanding of the feminine as a psychoanalytic concept.Schaeffer considers the difference between the sexes to be the paradigm of all differences, and the basis for the repudiation of the feminine and gender theories, those that destitute or invalidate psychic bisexuality. In addition, the author proposes a number of oppositions: a feminine, constructed in relation to the masculine, which differentiates itself from the person of the woman, and also from femininity. A feminine that distinguishes itself from the phallic, which denies its existence, hates it or wants to dominate it. A feminine that is antagonistic to but not cleaved from the maternal, with which it can be harmoniously reconciled. A feminine that carries the risk of suffering, but also the chance of a destiny of openness and growth.Psychoanalysis and the Feminine: An Other Sex will be key reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and for students of psychoanalytic studies, gender studies and feminist philosophy.

Mothering and Archaeology brings to light new insights connecting mothering in the past and present by exploring all aspects of this important but frequently under-valued and thus neglected subject and is underpinned by feminist theorizing of motherhood and mothering.Taking a comprehensive approach, this book explores the archaeology of mothers in private and public places in the past and present, the patriarchal institution of motherhood versus actual mothering practices, the burdens and joys of "mothering" in archaeology, and the second shift often pressed upon women. With the inclusion of intersectional research on diverse historic ideologies and practices of motherhood and mothering that varied among classes, races, and ethnic groups, the book also spans a wide range of temporal, geographic, and cultural differences around the world, from Ancient Egypt and Iron-Age Europe to Aztec Mexico, colonial Yucatan, colonial and historic Europe, America and Australia, and modern archaeologists in America and Europe. Going beyond historical practices, the book also examines how female-identifying archaeologists usually perform a disproportionate amount of mothering labor, particularly emotional labor, both in their careers and in the home. Further, it also addresses how becoming a mother affects women's archaeological practices and careers and discusses why women are doing most of the deeply engaged community archaeology with all of its additional relationships and social navigation of emotional labor.Bringing together research on motherhood and mothering in the past with women's contemporary experiences of the relationships of mothering to archaeology, this book provides new insights to researchers in archaeology, anthropology, public history, and women's studies.

In this eagerly anticipated second edition of The Stalled Revolution, authors Tutchell and Edmonds build upon their groundbreaking exploration of the Votes for Women campaign and the Women's Liberation movement, by focusing on the dramatic activities of the #MeToo movement and on the passionate debate about trans and gender identity. The #MeToo movement has swept aside the long-standing conspiracy of silence about sexual abuse, revealing its vast extent and terrible effects. Unveiling the origins of #MeToo and scrutinizing its impact, this second edition offers a balanced perspective on the movement's accomplishments and assesses its future challenges. A new thought-provoking section unravels the interwoven strands of the trans debate and uncovers the unexpected truth that, despite the hostile language, much common ground exists between the two sides. By redefining the issues, Tutchell and Edmonds show how a more optimistic discourse on identity, gender, and the rights of transgender individuals can be developed. Based on the successes of the suffragists, the Women's Liberation Movement, and the #MeToo movement, this new narrative envisions a future of enhanced equality and empowerment. Offering a blueprint for a dynamic, comprehensive campaign, The Stalled Revolution stands as a thought-provoking testament to the ongoing struggle for women's rights and a catalyst for change.

In InterAsian Intimacies across Race, Religion, and Colonialism, Chie Ikeya asks how interAsian marriage, conversion, and collaboration in Burma under British colonial rule became the subject of political agitation, legislative activism, and collective violence. Over the course of the twentieth century relations between Burmese Muslims, Sino-Burmese, Indo-Burmese, and other mixed families and communities became flashpoints for far-reaching legal reforms and Buddhist revivalist, feminist, and nationalist campaigns aimed at consigning minority Asians to subordinate status and regulating women's conjugal and reproductive choices. Out of these efforts emerged understandings of religion, race, and nation that continue to vex Burma and its neighbors today. Combining multilingual archival research with family history and intergenerational storytelling, Ikeya highlights how the people targeted by such movements made and remade their lives under the shifting circumstances of colonialism, capitalism, and nationalism. The book illuminates a history of belonging across boundaries, a history that has been overshadowed by Eurocentric narratives about the mixing of white colonial masters and native mistresses. InterAsian intimacy was-and remains-foundational to modern regimes of knowledge, power, and desire throughout Asia.

This volume proposes "speaking up" and "talking back" as new theoretical access points for studying feminist activism in digital spaces.Drawing on the influential work of bell hooks, it highlights social justice interventions by feminist/queer/decolonial actors, groups, and collectives who recover the digital as a space for activist organizing and campaigning. In presenting a variety of sociocultural issues, such as gender violence, queer discrimination, or migrant hostility, the book centers empowerment practices in their digital forms, showcasing interventions in Asia, Europe and the Americas - thereby critically examining the conditions for marginalized voices to speak up, talk back, and be heard in digital publics. In focusing on activist practices, formats, experiences, and scholarship, the contributions analyze many facets of digital feminist contention, including resistance storytelling, hashtag activism, grassroots journalism, or diaspora podcasting.This international and interdisciplinary volume will interest students and scholars of Media and Communication, Social Movements and Activism, Cultural Studies, Gender and Queer Studies, Race and Ethnicity.

At a time of growing relevance for women's social and cultural movements in the Americas, Female Agency in Films Made by Latin American Women examines how the increased prominence of women in a directorial role translates into new paradigms of female agency in Latin American filmmaking. This volume bridges the two main tendencies that have characterized gender-studies approaches to the region's cinema to date: first, the survey-based analysis of films made by women and second, the study of how female characters are treated on the screen-by female and male directors. Bringing together both scholarly trends, this volume explores the complex modalities of female agency developed in recent films directed by women in Latin America, through innovative aesthetic and discursive strategies. Moving beyond consideration of visibility or representation, a diverse body of contributors in this book look for expressions of agency in the films' gaze, their affective depth, the forms of care they bring to the fore, how they highlight their characters' desires and subjectivities, and the bodily and sensorial experiences they convey.

Slags on Stage weaves cultural analysis with poetry and art criticism to explore the concept of the 'slag' and its place in contemporary British-English culture.The book traces the etymology of the word slag through the twentieth and into the twenty-first century, thinking through the ways 'slag' speaks to issues of class, sex and desire. Broadly, slag is an insult bound up with women's sexual reputations - but beyond this it is a 'key' word that shapes how we debate and understand culture. For women coming-of-age in the United Kingdom in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries 'slag' produces complex feelings and has influenced how we have come to know ourselves and understand our sexual and quotidian desires. This book explores the terrain of slag and includes analyses of artworks by artists who have invoked the slag in their practice, such as Tracey Emin, Cash Carraway and Michaela Coel. Covering the cultural politics of clothing, motherhood, television representations, sexual assault, sex work and desire, Slags on Stage asks: what role does the 'slag' play in British culture? Who is she for? And how have women used sex and sexuality to have their own say in cultures that want to control them?This is a fascinating exploration for students and scholars of British drama, theatre and performance, cultural studies and sociology.

中世後期の教会におけるジェンダーと権威－新しい歴史

Gender and Authority in the Late Medieval Church asks a deceptively simple question: How did the governance of the medieval institutional church remain exclusively male, despite plentiful evidence of women being as capable and devout as men? The remarkable endurance of an all-male clergy is an important element of medieval church government-one that is frequently taken for granted in the historiography-and is connected to another overlooked feature of episcopal authority: the strategies that bishops used to secure the compliance of a relatively autonomous clergy. As Ian Forrest shows, bishops kept their clergy in check through normative standards of masculinity that necessarily disqualified women from leadership roles. Everywhere in the medieval church were women who had the capacity, resources, and often the ambition to take part in governance, from abbesses to priests' servants, mothers, sisters, and unofficial wives. Bringing together evidence of female activity at the margins of the institutional church, Forrest argues that the male monopoly on formal power was haunted by female capability and aspiration at every turn. Drawing case studies from the English diocesan clergy between the mid-thirteenth and early sixteenth centuries, he explores how women's involvement in governance was rendered unthinkable through the very discursive strategies that bishops used to control their male clergy. In doing so, Gender and Authority in the Late Medieval Church tells an integrated history that explains how both the exclusion of women and the inclusion of men underpins a rigidly gendered system of religious governance.
