Women And Change at the U.S.-Mexico Border: Mobility, Labor, And Activism

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: There`s no denying that the U.S.-Mexico border region has changed in the past twenty years. With the emergence of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the curtailment of welfare programs, and more aggressive efforts by the United States to seal the border against undocumented migrants, the prospect of seeking a livelihood?particularly for women?has become more tenuous in the twenty-first century. In the face of the ironic juxtaposition of free trade and limited mobility, this book takes a new look at women on both sides of the border to portray them as active participants in the changing structures of life, often engaging in political struggles. The contributions?including several chapters by Mexican as well as U.S. scholars?examine environmental and socioeconomic conditions on the border as they shape and are shaped by both daily life at the local level and the global economy. The contributors focus on issues related to migration, both short- and… [detailed...]

Women Artists (Icons)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis sumptuously illustrated book surveys five hundred years of artistic output from a pantheon of women who broke rules, defied convention, and paved the way for generations to follow. Why over the course of history have so few womenbeen recognized as `great` artists? Explanations and rationalizations for this phenomenon abound, but women have been producing brilliant works of art for as long as their male contemporaries. This latest volume in the successful Icons series profiles forty-five female artists and their significant contributions to the canon of art history. This book starts in the sixteenth century, when women were first formally allowed to participate in the period`s artistic enlightenment, and continues through today, when artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman and Jenny Holzer have firmly established themselves as critically and commercially important. Icons of Art: Women Artists uses elegantly designed double-paged spreads to… [detailed...]

Women Don`t Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: When Linda Babcock asked why so many male graduate students were teaching their own courses and most female students were assigned as assistants, her dean said: `More men ask. The women just don`t ask.` It turns out that whether they want higher salaries or more help at home, women often find it hard to ask. Sometimes they don`t know that change is possible--they don`t know that they can ask. Sometimes they fear that asking may damage a relationship. And sometimes they don`t ask because they`ve learned that society can react badly to women asserting their own needs and desires. By looking at the barriers holding women back and the social forces constraining them, Women Don`t Ask shows women how to reframe their interactions and more accurately evaluate their opportunities. It teaches them how to ask for what they want in ways that feel comfortable and possible, taking into account the impact of asking on their relationships. And it teaches all of us how to recognize the… [detailed...]

Women Filmmakers in Early Hollywood (Studies in Industry and Society)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Women Filmmakers in Early Hollywood explores when, how, and why women were accepted as filmmakers in the 1910s and why, by the 1920s, those opportunities had disappeared. In looking at the early film industry as an industry -- a place of work -- Mahar not only unravels the mystery of the disappearing female filmmaker but untangles the complicated relationship among gender, work culture, and business within modern industrial organizations. In the early 1910s, the film industry followed a theatrical model, fostering an egalitarian work culture in which everyone -- male and female -- helped behind the scenes in a variety of jobs. In this culture women thrived in powerful, creative roles, especially as writers, directors, and producers. By the end of that decade, however, mushrooming star salaries and skyrocketing movie budgets prompted the creation of the studio system. As the movie industry remade itself in the image of a modern American business, the masculinization of… [detailed...]

Women In Motion: Globalization, State Policies, And Labor Migration In Asia

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Women comprise about half of the world`s migrants, so it is little surprise that the international migration of women has been attracting significant attention in recent years. Most agree that global restructuring increasingly forces a large number of women in developing countries to emigrate to richer countries. But is poverty the only motivating factor? In `Women in Motion,` Nana Oishi examines the cross-national patterns of international female migration in Asia. Drawing on fieldwork in ten countries?both migrant-sending and migrant-receiving?the author investigates the differential impact of globalization, state policies, individual autonomy, and various social factors. This is the first study of its kind to provide an integrative approach to and a comparative perspective on female migration flows from multiple countries. [detailed...]

Women Musicians in Victorian Fiction, 1860-1900: Representations of Music, Science and Gender in the Leisured Home

2000 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: For nineteenth-century society, music was a means by which women could display their gentility, education, their physical grace and express their `selves`. Novelists were quick to employ this recognized way for women to project their personalities, and fictional scenes featuring women musicians served to reinforce or explore and challenge traditional views of the place of both women and music in society. Over the first half of the century, writers like Austen and Bronte confined their critiques to satirical portrayals of women musicians. Later, however, a marked shift occurred with the introduction of musical female characters who were positively to be feared. The stark boundaries between the musical `angel` and the musical `demon` became increasingly blurred, making more complex the fictional depiction of gender identities and sexuality. Phyllis Weliver examines the reasons for this shift in her investigation of representations of female musicians in Victorian fiction… [detailed...]

Now in a mini edition, this remarkable illustrated book allows us to venture back to the Golden Age of Illustration so that we may discover the work and personalities of the women who were previously unnamed. Susan Fenimore Cooper wrote books about the flora and fauna of upstate New York in the 1850s while living in service to her famous father, James. Mrs. E.W. Wirt, the mother of twelve, compiled and illustrated books about flowers to amuse and educate her children. Elizabeth Blackwell drew 500 botanical plates to raise money to free her husband from debtor’s prison. These are only a few of the artists we call Women of Flowers.
