This book contributes to the growing body of literature on the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war against women. Sexual violence in this context is finally receiving the attention it deserves, given the immense suffering of its victims and the widespread societal harm it causes.

Focussing on how states legitimise and implement various forms of sexual violence, such as sexual slavery, harassment, and rape, as tools to torture, suppress, and silence women, it takes an international perspective to explore how women's bodies become battlegrounds and how the state itself often acts as the perpetrator of violence. Beginning with an examination of the historical and legal contexts surrounding rape and sexual violence in international criminal law (ICL), it uses a feminist analysis of sexual violence as a weapon of war to explore the legal and political landscapes of Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iran, South Sudan, Mexico, and Bangladesh.

Showing how militarised regimes utilise various forms of sexual violence as instruments of political control and oppression, it will be of interest to all scholars and students of gender-based violence, peace and conflict studies, victimology and international law.

Transgender Philosophy: The Basics is an introduction to the exciting and rapidly growing world of trans philosophy.

The book covers a wide range of central themes in transgender philosophy, bringing the reader up to speed with both foundational texts and new ideas from this increasingly global tradition. It addresses key questions, including:

• What is gender? How is it related to gender identity?
• Why are we justified in believing someone when they identify as a member of a gender?
• Why do trans people transition, and how should we think about the desire to transition?
• What is the relationship between transness and colonialism, and how is it related to race?
• Should we get rid of gender? What would we look like if we didn't have genders?
• How should society be changed to improve the lives of trans people?

Accessibly written, this book offers a rigorous overview of the arguments in transgender philosophy, from abstract concerns of philosophical method to grounded and applied political issues.

Transgender Philosophy: The Basics is designed for beginners with no prior knowledge of philosophy, but it also serves a source of new insights and perspectives for students and scholars of philosophy and gender studies.

In den letzten Jahrzehnten ist die rechtsdogmatische, -theoretische und -soziologische Forschung zu Rechten der Frau, aber auch intersektional zu Recht und Geschlecht zunehmend in den Fokus gerueckt. Die Schutzanforderungen, die Handlungsmoeglichkeiten und die Gleichstellung von Frauen und die rechtliche Erfassung des Frauseins werden kontrovers und mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten in verschiedenen Rechtsordnungen diskutiert. Immer wieder sind diese fundamentalen Freiheits- und Gleichheitsrechte versagt worden und werden gerade durch illiberale und autoritaere Systeme erneut weltweit in Frage gestellt. Der Tagungsband versammelt vor diesem Hintergrund aktuelle Forschungsthemen zu fundamentalen Rechten von Frauen: ihre theoretische Rekonstruktion, ihre dogmatische Umsetzung, ihre Durchsetzung im Kontext verschiedener Rechtsordnungen und ihre intersektionalen Bezuege. In vier Themenbloecken werden die Beitraege der rechtswissenschaftlichen Konferenz ?Female Fundamental Freedoms" praesentiert, die im November 2025 als Symposium der Forschungsstelle fuer fundamentale Rechte an der Universitaet Bayreuth stattfand. Geliefert werden sollte dabei keine umfassende Darstellung des komplexen Diskurses - vielmehr ging es um Denkanstoesse zu grundlegenden aktuellen Fragen der Female Fundamental Freedoms, die zum Weiterfragen anregen.
Der Band beleuchtet zunaechst die historischen und theoretischen Hintergruende von fundamentalen Rechten aus feministisch-intersektionaler Perspektive. Sodann thematisiert der Band die grundsaetzliche Statuierung des Frauseins als rechtliche Kategorie und Anknuepfungspunkt fuer fundamentale Rechte anhand ausgewaehlter Beispiele der gegenwaertigen Debatte. Drittens beschaeftigt sich der Band mit fundamentalen Gleichheitsfragen im Beruf, wobei ein besonderes Augenmerk auf intersektionale Diskriminierungserfahrungen gelegt wird. Schliesslich werden Akzente der weitreichenden juristischen Thematik der reproduktiven Rechte herausgestellt und international kontextualisiert.

The complexities and contradictions of the fertility industry through a reproductive justice lens.

With the proliferation of assisted reproductive technologies, the fertility industry-from in vitro fertilization to egg freezing and sperm donation-is booming. But these practices raise concerns about potential dangers and the social, economic, and racial inequalities they reinforce.

In Assisted Reproductive Justice, Camisha Russell and Kimberly Mutcherson neither indict nor validate the fertility industry. Instead, they examine its complexities and contradictions, untangling the threads of inequality and opportunity woven into its complex global networks.

Using reproductive justice theory as a critical lens, the book conducts a broad, interdisciplinary analysis of the history, social and legal policies, and ethics surrounding assisted reproduction. The authors use compelling case studies to illuminate issues of who gets access and why and how technology is used. More importantly, they explain how these issues can and should guide law and policymaking toward a more just fertility industry.

What can we learn from those who have acted violently and what can be gained from giving them a voice? This book, translated from the Italian, takes readers inside the rarely heard world of violent offenders, exploring the story of Stefania Albertani who was convicted of killing her older sister without apparent motive. Through a series of searching interviews with two criminologists, buried memories surface and the dialogue uncovers the unique "cosmology" of her violent act.

Moving beyond explanations rooted in social exclusion and mental illness, the book offers a rare insight into violent human behaviour and its causes. It also shows how dialogue can open new pathways toward restorative justice, challenging us to rethink what we know about violence.

Voices from the Inside traces how incarcerated women and trans and nonbinary individuals in California use writing as a form of organizing, survival, and political analysis. Exploring the dynamics of agency and voice in incarcerated women's communicative lives and their strategies of resistance, survival, and resilience, this account brings an abolition-feminist lens to our understanding of the gendered harms of incarceration. Importantly, it develops a theory of incarcerated women's public sphere as an organized space of critical resistance and advocacy which, in turn, plays a key role in shaping legal doctrine and policy reform debates. Painting a richly textured portrait of incarcerated women as change agents, this powerful account of oppression and resistance behind bars offers a blueprint for activists on the inside and outside alike.

Before Ruth Bader Ginsburg persuaded the Supreme Court to strike down sex discrimination, Dorothy Kenyon built the legal blueprint.

Justice Was Her Calling is the first full-length biography of the New York judge, lawyer, and civil liberties champion whose litigation strategies helped transform the equal protection clause into a powerful tool for women's rights. Across decades, from the Progressive Era through the New Deal and into the rise of second-wave feminism, Dorothy Kenyon stood at the forefront of reform.

A longtime ACLU national board member, the only woman appointed by the League of Nations to study women's legal status worldwide, and a US delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, she pushed equality onto the global stage long before it was widely embraced. Her career was nearly undone when Senator Joseph McCarthy named her the first alleged communist. Though fully cleared, the accusation cast a lasting shadow.

Drawing on letters, speeches, and fresh archival research, Jennifer L. Brinkley restores Kenyon to her rightful status as a legal pioneer and reminds us that civil liberties endure only when defended.

The story of Florence Allen, the first woman judge in the United States, and women's transformation of the legal system.

Florence Allen was the first woman judge many times over-first federal appellate court judge, first elected to a state supreme court, and first shortlisted for the U.S. Supreme Court. During Allen's forty years on the bench, the country swung between progressivism and conservatism, with passage of a constitutional amendment for women's voting rights, two world wars, the Red and Lavender Scares, and the New Deal.

Amid these changes, women used their new political standing to transform the courts, first by becoming active agents in the justice system, and then by developing theories of public law, social justice, and fair process. Exploring Allen's fascinating legal life, Tracy Thomas recounts the larger history of how women infiltrated the legal system as judges, lawyers, jurors, and legislators to demand a more representative system of justice for the welfare of all.

Women, Peace and Security in Canada and the United States critically examines the challenges and contradictions of implementing the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda within the highly polarised political landscapes of Canada and the United States. In an era marked by democratic strain and shifting security priorities, A Fragmented Peace brings together leading scholars, policymakers, and civil society actors to explore how WPS is being implemented, challenged, and reimagined across diverse contexts-from defence institutions and legislative frameworks to grassroots activism and transnational partnerships.

The book interrogates the limits of state-centric and multilateral approaches while foregrounding the central role of civil society in sustaining and advancing the agenda. Spanning themes such as militarisation, digital threats, settler colonial legacies, youth leadership, masculinities, LGBTQI+ inclusion, and climate security, the book provides a nuanced and intersectional analysis of WPS in North America. Grounded in both empirical case studies and critical reflection, it not only diagnoses the fractures shaping contemporary WPS efforts but also identifies pathways for more inclusive, accountable, and contextually rooted feminist peacebuilding.

Women, Peace and Security in Canada and the United States will appeal to those working on foreign policy, defence, peacebuilding, and civil society advocacy, particularly where the WPS agenda is being implemented or contested.

How do legal institutions shape the legitimacy of gender-affirming care for young people?

Through an analysis of 98 Australian Family Court cases over 20 years, this book provides a comprehensive scholarly investigation into this fiercely contested issue. The book reveals how courts deploy ontological, epistemological and teleological arguments to control gender affirmation practices. It demonstrates that legal regulations are not primarily concerned with individual welfare, but with controlling what gender itself can become.

Offering timely insights for scholars, policy makers and practitioners navigating the contemporary debates around transgender rights, the book exposes the gender-normative assumptions underlying legal interventions while advocating for a more expansive approach to legitimising gender-affirming care.

As part of the series Routledge Focus on Women Writers in Management and Organization Studies, this volume aims to explore the writing of organization in the sense of how meaning is inscribed into the social context by organizational practices. Across Central and Eastern Europe, women activists have long been at the forefront of transformative change, navigating the complex landscapes of business, politics, and civil society to redefine leadership on their own terms. This book is to bring their stories to light, showcasing the diverse ways in which women have shaped their organizations, communities, and nations.

This volume moves beyond traditional, often masculine and men-coded notions of activism, revealing how women in the region have shaped alternative paths through cooperation, resilience, and visionary organizing. Authors showcase the lives and work of women who played central roles in shaping organizations and politics across the region. From corporate boardrooms to grassroots initiatives, from public institutions to political movements, these women have built networks of support, reimagined governance, and challenged exclusionary structures. Through a series of compelling narratives, this book offers a fresh perspective on activism, one that centers on collective action, social impact, and community-building.

Women Leaders in Central and Eastern Europe: Organizing, Politics, and the Path to Change is a groundbreaking edited volume that redefines leadership through the lens of women's experiences across a historically and culturally unique region. Drawing on rich, qualitative narratives, the book explores how women have led transformation in politics, public institutions, and organizational life in Central and Eastern Europe. This concise and compelling volume features case studies of individual women leaders, each situated within their country's socio-political context. Highlighting leadership as a practice of meaning-making and collective action, the book challenges dominant Western models centered on hierarchy and individualism. Instead, it offers inspiring accounts of resilience, cooperation, and visionary organizing. Each chapter includes analysis and reflections that bridge personal stories with wider themes in organization and gender studies. Ideal for researchers, scholars, students, and practitioners in organization studies, management, leadership, gender studies, and Central and Eastern European studies, this book is a vital contribution to the global conversation on inclusive and alternative leadership models. It also serves as an invaluable resource for educators and professionals seeking diverse perspectives on organizing and governance.

Navigating Disability, HIV, Relationships and Abuse for Christian Women in Nigeria contains poignant stories of formidable women who, because of their gender and disabilities, were sexually assaulted and infected with HIV by people known to and loved by them. Focusing on the Christian women of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, the book brings together the often under-represented voices of women with disabilities and HIV in an under-researched area of Nigeria.

Fubara-Manuel builds on long-term ethnographic research to bring together the isolated cases of disability, HIV, gender-based violence and Christianity in sub-Saharan Africa. In so doing, she critically examines the perpetuation of rape culture and the role of faith communities and support groups in shaping women's responses. The author's work moves beyond victimhood frameworks to document the agency of women living with both disability and HIV, and their resilience and faith-based solidarities as resources for survival, resistance, and liberation from abuse.

The book advocates a conversation between men and women for the dismantling of patriarchal structures that promote and legitimise the rape culture perpetrated against women by men. By integrating lived theology, gender analysis, and disability studies, this book advances existing literature through relational and narrative-driven accounts that re-centre marginalised voices and rethink the role of Christian faith in contexts of sexual violence.

Is consent simply saying "yes"? This book argues that it is not. Drawing on concrete cases-a BDSM scene that goes wrong, a dark romance reader facing judgment, a dominatrix rebuilding after domestic violence, and the invention of the telephone as a technology that captures us through the ears-it shows that consent is never a sovereign act but an opaque process, shaped by the unconscious, history, and power relations.

This book brings together qualitative fieldwork, psychoanalysis, and queer theory to examine the tension between necessary frameworks (safewords, negotiation, and communities) and their transgression in practice. Each chapter explores what Avgi Saketopoulou calls limit-consent: consenting to the unknown, to what exceeds us. From dungeons to dark romance, from cinema screens to telephones, the authors show how the experience of vertigo-when pleasure meets risk, play tips into coercion, or trauma resurfaces-can, under certain conditions, become a lever for subjective and political transformation.

The central finding is that consent is not a binary "yes/no" but a fragile, ongoing process where the unconscious and power dynamics constantly interfere. Recognizing this opacity does not weaken consent; it makes it more attentive to what truly matters in intimate encounters.

This book is for students and researchers in gender studies, psychoanalysis, and the humanities; for practitioners (psychologists, social workers, and psychoanalysts); for BDSM practitioners; and for anyone who questions what consent really means-beyond slogans, legal definitions, and certainties.

Black Women in the U.S. Economy: The Hardest Working Woman explores the impact of economic, structural, and policy changes since the 1970s on the status and well-being of Black women in the U.S. It examines the rise in income and wealth inequality and subsequent economic downturns on Black women and their families given the changing relationship between the state, markets, and families over this period of time.

The book assembles an interdisciplinary group of scholars who use Black Feminist frameworks along with applied microeconomics and econometrics to understand the multiple identities, roles, and experiences of Black women in the U.S. economy. The Hardest Working Woman is divided into three sections: 1) Black Women in the Market Economy, 2) Family and Community, and 3) Politics, Public Policy and Its Effects. The chapters are designed to stand alone or complement each other, offering a broad overview of Black women's work. The aim of this book is to challenge the popular rhetoric about Black women's work experiences, economic status, and role in providing for and sustaining their families and communities.

This important and illuminating study will be essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Black women's experiences within the political economy, as well as all those with an interest in Economics, Women's Studies, Africana Studies, Sociology, Political Science and Public Policy.

The sixth edition of the Feminist Theory Reader provides a general introduction to feminist theory, both in the United States and globally.

In their balance of foundational and contemporary texts, the editors situate feminist theory within intersectional and transnational social justice movements and uphold the book's challenge to readers to rethink the ways in which gender and its multiple intersections are configured by complex, overlapping, and asymmetrical configurations of power. The new edition furthers its commitment to the voices of transnational feminist scholars throughout the book's four central sections and addresses an array of topics of contemporary concern, including the care crisis, reproductive justice, indigenous feminisms, global civil society, settler colonialism, violence, prison abolition, neoliberal feminisms, transfeminism, and disability studies. A substantially revised final section considers solidarity strategies in contemporary times to tie together a new edition that shares theories of feminism and the voices and experiences of women across time and place, drawing from them important lessons for the present day.

Enriching its foundation with newer essays and expanded scope, the Feminist Theory Reader delves even deeper into the paradigmatic concepts of the field and cements its place as a touchstone for feminist scholars, teachers, and students of women's and gender studies for many years to come.

Drawing on the influence of Collins' Black Feminist Thought, this book explores how Latinx feminists create theories about intersecting inequalities via their social movement practices-particularly as these relate to reproductive justice.

Many people in the United States associate reproductive politics primarily with the contentious debates surrounding abortion and contraceptive access. Yet, Rocio R. Garcia argues the United States also has a persistent preoccupation with the reproductive lives of people of Latin American descent, evidenced in debates about undocumented immigration and birthright citizenship, the politics regarding social services to help Latinx families out of poverty, and past and contemporary examples of the coerced sterilization of Puerto Rican and Mexican-origin Latinxs, among many other issues. At the intersections of these reproductive inequalities are a growing group of Latinx feminists in the movement for reproductive justice-a social movement across the United States led by women of color who equally fight for everyone's human right to have a child, to not have a child, and to parent in safe and healthy conditions. Latinx feminists in the reproductive justice movement mobilize against reproductive inequalities by addressing how the intersections of racism, colonialism, sexism, classism, and other systems of oppression shape Latinxs reproductive lives. In the process, Latinx feminists reveal that reproductive politics are far more expansive and complex than often imagined-that reproduction, just like life, is messy. Drawing on ethnographic data and interviews with Latinx feminists in the movement for reproductive justice in California, Garcia reveals how Latinx feminist theories are cultivated in social movements contexts in the pursuit of justice, dignity, and social transformation. Garcia focuses on the cultural processes by which Latinx feminists make politics as they navigate the simultaneity of inequalities to expand understandings of reproduction by centering Latinx feminist thinking.

An essential read for students, scholars, and practitioners in post-colonial studies, gender and sexuality studies, reproductive health care, and Latin American studies, Latinx Feminist Thought invites us all to recognize the necessity of Latinx feminist knowledge to lean into the messiness of being human and make new worlds invested in reproductive justice for all.

Intersectionality as Epistemic Resistance is the first collection of scholarly essays devoted to the work of Patricia Hill Collins, one of the most influential Black feminist thinkers of her generation. Bringing together philosophers and political theorists, the volume takes stock of Collins's enduring theory of intersectionality and her impact on critical theory.

After an introduction by coeditors Amy Allen and Eduardo Mendieta situating Collins's work within debates about intersectionality and critical theory, the volume opens with a substantial, previously unpublished essay by Collins. In it, she reflects on her intellectual and political praxis amid contemporary political turbulence, emphasizing the need to guard intersectionality against cooptation and dilution. Subsequent chapters explore how her work reshapes core concepts in critical theory, examining its relationship to the Frankfurt School and Indigenous theory as well as its significance for environmental philosophy and Black politics. The book concludes with a new essay in which Collins responds to her interlocutors and reflects on what it means to practice critical social theory at a moment when critical thought itself is under pressure.

An indispensable resource for students and scholars of critical theory, feminist philosophy, Black feminism, and intersectionality, this volume serves as a compelling introduction to Collins's thought and its continuing relevance.

In addition to Collins and the editors, the contributors to this volume include Kanisha D. Bond, William Paris, Maria Pia Lara, Nancy Tuana, and Sarah Tyson.

This book comprehensively explores the intersection between gender, climate change, and the green economy in Africa. It investigates the gendered impacts of climate change and emphasises the critical role women play in addressing climate change, shaping sustainable development, and the green economy.

Drawing on a range of case studies, policy analyses, and theoretical reflections, the book highlights the often-overlooked contributions of women to sustainability efforts, environmental governance, and socio-economic resilience in the face of climate impacts. It argues that women are disproportionately affected by climate change due to existing socio-economic inequalities. It challenges women's exclusion from climate policy development and implementation by placing women at the centre of climate action and as critical actors for advancing climate justice and the green economy. To bridge the gap between gender-focused research and practical policy solutions, the book provides gender-sensitive strategies for a more inclusive, just, and sustainable future.

This book will be an important read for policymakers, researchers, and students across the fields of sustainable development, African studies, gender studies, and environmental studies. Additionally, it will be a valuable resource for development practitioners and NGOs working in the space of environmental justice and sustainable development.

Chronicles the pioneering reformer whose 1920s study of female sexuality ignited America's first sexual revolution

Decades before Alfred Kinsey released his famous "Reports" on human sexuality, Katharine Bement Davis conducted a pioneering study of female sexuality. Published in 1929, Factors in the Sex Life of Twenty-Two Hundred Women was notable not only as the first major study of women's sexuality and the first such study conducted by a woman, but also as the first published study of "normal" women's sexuality - what Davis defined as the study of women who were "not pathological mentally or physically."

In Matters of Sex, Anya Jabour offers an in-depth exploration of Katharine Bement Davis's life and work, revealing her pioneering efforts to promote scientifically accurate information about sex. Even before publishing her study, Davis was a true trailblazer. One of the first women to earn a Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, Davis worked as a schoolteacher and a social worker before serving as the first superintendent of Bedford Female Reformatory and New York City's first female Commissioner of Correction. The book traces her journey as an advocate for female sexuality, exploring her work with birth control and free speech advocates to promote both sex research and sex education.

Jabour showcases how Davis's candid discussion of women's sexual behavior - from contraception to masturbation to lesbianism - challenged prevailing ideas about "pure" and "passionless" women and drove the nation's first sexual revolution. Drawing from organizational records, Davis's own unpublished memoirs, and family-held materials never before consulted by scholars, Matters of Sex offers a comprehensive and engaging biography of a remarkable woman whose legacy still resonates today.

This book investigates the transformative relationship between soccer and women in the 21st century, a time when football has increasingly embraced femininity and women have gained unprecedented visibility and empowerment in the digital soccer landscape. Highlighting the growing presence of women in fan culture and digital spaces, the book explores how these arenas have become pivotal in shaping women's roles and participation in soccer. By examining global, transnational, national, and local contexts, it delves into the interplay between soccer and women, focusing on the dynamic intersections of fandom and digitality.

Through documentary, discursive, analytical, and insider perspectives, the authors uncover the critical themes that define women's engagement with soccer in fan cultures and digital practices. These themes include gender, femininity, sexism, masculinity, misogyny, identity, platformization, digital and social media, e-commerce, and brand activism. The book sheds light on how these factors have influenced not only the women's game but also the broader societal roles of women as players, fans, and contributors to the sport's evolving narrative.

Spanning subject areas such as gender studies, women's history, sports sociology, digital culture, and media studies, this book is designed for scholars, students, researchers, and readers passionate about exploring the intersection of soccer, gender, and digital innovation in contemporary society.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society and are now accompanied by a newly updated Introduction.

This book extends the study of depictions of journalists in popular culture by bringing fashion and style magazine journalists into view.

The collection examines magazine offices as glamorous backdrops for television dramas and sitcoms with magazine staff both idolized and satirized in series like Ugly Betty and Suddenly Susan, and films like The Devil Wears Prada. It also examines how iconic magazine editors like Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld, and Ita Buttrose are represented in documentaries and fictionalized depictions of their careers. It makes a case that so-called soft journalism and women's media deserve more critical attention, as do contemporary representations of gender and the media's role in reproducing normative constructions of femininity and masculinity. This edited collection of 14 central chapters draws together scholars working in magazine studies, film, television, gender and cultural studies, fashion, and media to interrogate magazine stereotypes and to examine what these shows reveal about magazine media, media reflexivity, and the changing media landscape. It also provides a historical overview of the rise of feminism and women's media and of how the magazine and publishing world has adapted to the rise of digital and social media through hybrid models of publishing and content delivery. The included case studies each examine a television series, film, or documentary to explore how representations of magazine editors, journalists, and creatives might reinforce or challenge stereotypes about fashion and style journalists and women working in the media.

Readers who are interested in media, fashion, publishing, cultural studies, gender, fat studies, and critical race theories will benefit from reading this book.

Women, Violence and Twentieth Century Warfare explores the unspoken and hidden impact of war and violent conflict on women, focusing on the case study of Ireland within a broader framework of ethical remembrance.

The violence experienced in the decades after the Irish revolution (1919-23), up to the period encompassing the later "Troubles" in Northern Ireland (1968-98) left enduring social and psychological impacts on society, both in and outside of Ireland. Linda Connolly clearly and systematically synthesises these experiences into a narrative picture which incorporates in-depth research conducted across multiple sources and documents. The book explores the wider relationship between war, gender and violence in twentieth century conflicts, using examples such as forced hair taking, sexual violence, psychological trauma, and migration. Coming up to the end of the twentieth century, the volume sheds light not only on what happened to women during revolution, but also long after, as well as addressing questions around why women experienced violence in the way they did.

Bringing together ideas from feminist theories of war, women's history, and trauma-informed research, this book will be of interest to students and a scholars of Gender Studies and Irish Studies internationally.

Rethinking the economics of gender.

In the 1970s, as women started to enter the labor force in unprecedented numbers, economists began to examine their roles as economic actors. The result was the rise of gender economics, now a major subfield with powerful data and new methods comparing the economic lives of men and women. Yet despite decades of progress, many of the most consequential questions about gender inequality remain unresolved.

In this bold and reflective book, renowned economist and demographer Shelly Lundberg argues that the problem is not a lack of evidence but a failure to challenge entrenched economic models and outmoded assumptions about markets and gender that have limited what the field can explain.

Why does occupational segregation persist? Why do "women's jobs" pay less? Why are men falling behind in education? And why do policies like paternity leave fail to change behavior? Drawing on more than five decades in the field and integrating insights from other social sciences, Lundberg explains signs of recent progress and charts a path toward a more realistic, socially grounded economics capable of meeting the challenges of gender inequality today.

Intersex, Ageing, and Intersectionalities explores intersex lived experience through a Western intersex lens. Intersex people comprise almost 2 percent of the population and are born with physical variations that defy binary, medical definitions of male or female anatomy. Since at least the 1960s, it has been standard practice in many countries to perform genital surgeries and other irreversible "normalising" procedures on intersex children, purportedly for their benefit, but without consent and without patient follow-up or conducting longitudinal studies.

This book centres the voices of those most often excluded from conversations on intersex - that is, intersex people. It contributes to feminist intersectionality studies in novel ways by examining the lived experience of older intersex people - intersectional beings themselves - and how their lives, bodies, and identities converge with structural intersectional oppressions and barriers to wellbeing in areas such as family, medicine, education, employment, and relationships.

The book is intended for academic audiences who are interested in intersex and the complexities of sex and gender. It is also intended for students from a wide range of disciplines, as well as for practitioners, professionals, and activists who might encounter or work with intersex people.

This book offers a comprehensive and global examination of the persistent gender-related challenges universities face in their pursuit of equality, diversity, and inclusion across teaching, research, management, and leadership. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology, political science, gender studies, education, law, and more, it critically explores the pressures of corporatization, neoliberalization, and the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education institutions. Through a diverse range of quantitative and qualitative research, the book delves into key issues such as gendered divisions of academic labor, work-life conflict, sexual harassment, institutional change, and the inequalities perpetuated by neoliberal demands. It also highlights innovative approaches, including feminist perspectives on care, and transnational analyses, while featuring testimonials on groundbreaking gender equality initiatives and a critical review of work-life balance in academia.

This book is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, academic leaders, and students interested in gender studies, higher education policy, organizational studies, and social justice.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in the Journal of Gender Studies and are accompanied by a newly updated Introduction.

Demographic Anxieties examines how the Israeli settler-colonial state and its borders shape Palestinian women's reproductive freedom. Grounded in a Black feminist reproductive justice framework, this work foregrounds the sexual politics of settler colonialism by demonstrating how Israeli policies profoundly impact Palestinian women's reproductive rights, health, and decision-making. Based on in-depth interviews and more than two years of ethnographic research with Israeli medical staff and Palestinian women undergoing fertility treatment, the book takes Israeli hospitals, fertility departments, maternity wards, and infrastructures of care as sites of inquiry into the governance of Palestinians' lives.

Demographic Anxieties examines everyday encounters between Palestinian patients and Jewish Israeli doctors and argues that, alongside spectacular and disastrous forms of Israeli state violence, we must also consider more quotidian forms of surveillance and control. Written from an anticolonial feminist perspective, it asks what Palestine, as a site of knowledge production, enables, complicates, or demands from a transnational feminist approach to reproductive justice.

This book explores how women dissidents in the Soviet Union faced punishments equal to men in psychiatric hospitals, prisons, labour camps and exile, yet their political activism, imprisonment and acts of resistance remain largely overlooked in literature.

The author draws on evidence from the late 1960s, collated by independent human rights groups across the Soviet Union and abroad, including Amnesty International and organizations monitoring the implementation of the 1975 Helsinki Accords. It incorporates personal testimonies of women's experiences of psychiatric detention, imprisonment, labour camps and exile, alongside accounts of women employed by the internal security forces, judiciary and penal apparatus, revealing their roles and motivations as perpetrators of repression.

Soviet Women Dissidents is an essential resource for scholars and students of Soviet history, gender studies, human rights and political activism. It provides unique insights into the intersection of gender and state repression during the late Soviet era.
