Women Pioneers of Medical Research: Biographies of 25 Outstanding Scientists

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Women`s contributions to the field of medical research are a neglected but valuable part of human history not typically covered in general textbooks and historical volumes. While most laymen could recognize Florence Nightingale as the founder of modern nursing, it`s doubtful they could likewise identify Louise Pearce as one of the primary researchers in the cure for African Sleeping Sickness or Anna W. Williams as the discoverer of the diphtheria antitoxin. This book profiles 25 women who have made significant contributions to medical research, including Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Lydia Folger Fowler, Virginia Apgar, and Rosalind Franklin, among others. Each profile includes a general introduction and covers the woman`s childhood or family background, her formal education, her most valuable contributions to the field, and the important events or persons which influenced her life and career. The book concludes with brief descriptions of important persons mentioned within the profiles. [detailed...]

Women Seeing Women: From the Early Days of Photography to the Present

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA comprehensive survey of women photographers and their female subjects. Women have been making photographs since the medium`s invention, for scientific purposes, to earn a living through portraiture or journalistic activities, and for artistic expression. For almost that long, they have been turning their cameras on other women: at first taking the easiest models available to them?their mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and servants?and later choosing feminist standpoints or investigating the conditions of femininity in their own cultures. This compendium of camera work by and of women embraces a chronological survey of the medium as well as an emotional journey through women`s relationships caught on film. Photographers like Julia Margaret Cameron and Gertrude Kasebier share space with Dorothea Lange, Berenice Abbott, and Cindy Sherman. These well-known photographers in turn sit side by side with lesser known, sometimes virtually anonymous women… [detailed...]

Barbara A. Rockell
Women Street Hustlers: Who They Are and How They Survive

2008 y.
Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA)
Description: While the number of women in U.S. jails remains low in comparison with the number of men, over the past 10 years their admission rate has soared and now surpasses the rate of increase for men. While demographic information is available on these women, it tells us little about who they are as people, how they become repeat offenders, or how they survive on the street. Barbara A. Rockell sheds light on these issues in a fascinating and empathic study of female repeat offenders admitted to a New York state jail. Despite the women`s self-defeating behaviors, many of them reveal a surprising degree of initiative and self-sufficiency. This finding runs counter to previous research in which drug use and criminal activity by women have been viewed as reflecting the perpetrators` victim status and lack of agency. The author argues for seeing these behaviors in a broader social context and suggests avenues for future study, as well as more humane and constructive intervention strategies. [detailed...]

Shuqin Cui
Women Through the Lens: Gender and Nation in a Century of Chinese Cinema

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionGender and nation have often served as narrative subjects and visual tropes in Chinese cinema. The intersections between the two that occur in cinematic representation, however, have received little critical attention. Women through the Lens raises the question of how gender, especially the image of woman, acts as a visual and discursive sign in the creation of the nation-state in twentieth-century China. Tracing the history of Chinese cinema through the last hundred years from theperspective of transnational feminism, Shuqin Cui reveals how women have been granted a `privileged visibility` on screen while being denied discursive positions as subjects. In addition, her careful attention to the visual language system of cinema shows how `woman` has served as the site for the narration of nation in the context of China`s changing social and political climate. Placing gender and nation in a historical framework, the book first shows how early productions had… [detailed...]

Women Who Read are Dangerous

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Artists have long sought to capture the intimacy and tranquillity of reading in their work. There was a time, however, when female literacy was a radical idea, and women have certainly not always been free to read whatever they want, whether for pleasure or instruction. This highly acclaimed book presents a compelling selection of paintings, drawings, prints and photographs of women reading through the ages. Works by a diverse range of artists, from Vermeer, Manet and Whistler to Edward Hopper and photographer Eve Arnold, are accompanied by commentaries that explain the context in which each image was created. Also featuring a foreword by the novelist Karen Joy Fowler and an engaging introduction exploring reading as a female pursuit, Women Who Read Are Dangerous will appeal to book lovers everywhere.

Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Shortly after the 1989 publication of Women Without Men in her native Iran, Shahrnush Parsipur was arrested and jailed for her frank and defiant portrayal of women`s sexuality. Now banned in Iran, this small masterpiece was eventually translated into several languages and introduces U.S. readers to the work of a brilliant Persian writer. With a tone that is stark, and bold, Women Without Men creates an evocative allegory of life for contemporary Iranian women. In the interwoven -destinies of five women, simple situations-such as walking down a road or leaving the house-become, in the tumult of post-WW II Iran, horrific and defiant as women escape the narrow confines of family and society-only to face daunting new challenges. Now in political exile, Shahrnush Parsipur lives in the Bay Area. She is the author of several short story collections including Touba and the Meaning of Night . [detailed...]

Women Workers, Migration and Family in Sarawak

Publisher: —
Description: In many parts of South-East Asia, women`s lifestyles are going through enormous changes as women move from traditional rural, agricultural lifestyles to modern, urban lifestyles, which often involve migration to cities, taking on paid work, and having a quite different relationship with their families. This book, based on intensive research among the women of the Bidayuh people in Sarawak, all of them first generation migrant wage workers, explores the extent to which women`s lifestyles are changing, andthe reasons which prompt women to make the changes. How far are such women driven by economic considerations, how far by dissatisfaction with traditional lifestyles, and how far by the appeal of a glamorous urban lifestyle? The author`s research includesdetailed interviews in the field, and much of this interview material is included in the book, thereby enabling the Bidayuh women to tell their own stories as they grapple with the rapid changes swirling around them.

Women Writing Science Fiction As Men (Daw Science Fiction)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comWhen an anthology is titled Women Writing Science Fiction as Men , readers expect either stories on the cutting edge of feminist/gender theory, or a tribute to the late James Tiptree, Jr., the female author everyone thought was male. However, the anthology meets neither expectation. It has a different mandate. In his introduction, editor Mike Resnick states, `there is a difference in writing about a male and writing as a male.` The all-female contributors were charged towrite `as a male,` with `each story…told in the first person of a man, and…if changing the narrator from Victor to Victoria invalidated the story we didn`t want it.` However, the anthology doesn`t follow two-thirds of its own rules. Neither sex `change` nor biosex has had a discernable effect. The narrators tend to hold `traditionally male` jobs like astronaut, cop, soldier, engineer, superspy, and messiah, but females in these roles are hardly unusual (except messiah, a role also… [detailed...]

They were selected for this study because they use computer based technologies in their daily work. The conceptual framework underlying this research is feminist standpoint theory. Standpoint theory in this study stems from the work of Harding (1991) who has grounded standpoint theory in eight claims. These claims were connectedto clusters that were organized into segments that could be contrasted, compared and analyzed. Themes were developed and photographs were used to operationalize the cluster categories. Methodology used for this study included three structured interviews.The first interview elicited background information. Interview two used the photographs as an auto driving technique to stimulate discussion. The third interview asked the respondents to validate their narratives and to describe their… [detailed...]
