2008 y.

Each section begins with an overview of the literature on current research in the field, followed by individual studies. The first section investigates the relationship between gender and information technology among preteens and adolescents, with each study considering what could lead girls` interest in [detailed...]

Women and Pain : Why it Hurts and What You Can Do

2003 y.
Publisher:
Description: Amazon.com`Women feel more pain than men,` writes Mark Allen Young, M.D., F.A.C.P. `We now know that there are profound, gender-based differences in how women and men perceive pain.` Likewise, pain treatment that works for one gender may be ineffective for the other. In Women and Pain , Young offers conventional plus complementary pain-relief options for many ailments common to women: PMS, headaches, foot pain, backaches, joint pain, and many more. His recommended therapies include herbs, dietary recommendations, recipes, supplements, homeopathy, exercise, mind-body techniques, and `do-it-yourself` aids such as baths, self-massage, and reflexology. Young, a physiatrist (physician board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation) and a licensed acupuncturist, illustrates and personalizes his points with frequent anecdotes from his practice. `Given how much we know about pain, it`s scandalous that women suffer needlessly,` writes Young. Even though women feel more pain [detailed...]

Women and Political Violence: Female Combatants in Ethno-National Conflict (Contemporary Security Studies)

Publisher:
Description: This major new book directly challenges the stereotype that women are inherently peaceable by examining female combatants in ethno-national conflicts.Drawing upon two fresh case studies of Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland, it explores how when women have traditionally appeared in literature on war they have been predominantly depicted as the victims of conflict. This book takes seriously the reality of women as combatants. Indeed, female soldiers/irregulars are features of most modern conflicts. Drawing on original interview materials, it addresses why and how some women choose to become violently engaged in nationalist conflicts. It also highlights the personal and political costs and benefits incurred by such women to present a valuable insight into this ever topical area. [detailed...]

The stories are unique, full of questions, anomalies and confusing details and they appeared in large enough numbers to show that they were fascinating to a public that included both the literate and those who could listen to others read. The texts here were chosen to represent all the ways in which women`s activities as witches were presented in `popular` literature rather than texts aimed at a more leisured and literate readership.

Women and Work in Mexico`s Maquiladoras

y.
Publisher:
Description: The emergence of global assembly plants is closely linked to the creation of a global female industrial labor force. `Women and Work in Mexico`s Maquiladoras` examines this larger process in Mexico, where--despite a century of industrialization and a tradition of well-paid, highly organized, male workers--the maquiladora factories have turned to predominantly female labor. Exploring this dramatic shift, this book convincingly demonstrates how gender restructuring in workplaces and households has become acrucial element in the reorientation of Mexican development. The author compares Mexico`s new industrial system with its historical antecedent and documents federal policy changes that have resulted in distinct patterns of gender, unionization, householdform, and social welfare. Rich in ethnographic detail, the book uses the voices of workers themselves to provide an intimate look at how daily lives have been transformed--in ways that could not have been foreseen--by the national and [detailed...]

Women and the Contested State: Religion, Violence, and Agency in South and Southeast Asia

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Press
Description: Throughout South and Southeast Asia, groups battle over definitions of identity - in direction and character - for their state, a struggle complicated by the legacy of colonialism. The contributors to this volume explore the intricate, dynamic relationships that pertain between women`s agency and the state-making institutions and armed forces of Kashmir, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Burma (Myanmar). They also address the complex roles of Islam, Hinduism, and Theravada Buddhism in these postcolonial dynamics. In particular, the contributors examine religion as a way of understanding how women`s agency is constituted, created, and constrained during times of conflict with the state and other armed actors, such as guerilla groups and paramilitaries. These essays at the intersection of gender, religion, and peace studies will be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students who study conflict and hope for peace in South and Southeast Asia. Monique Skidmore is a [detailed...]

Women and the Economic Miracle: Gender and Work in Postwar Japan (California Series on Social Choice and Political Economy)

y.
Publisher:
Description: This lucid, hard-hitting book explores a central paradox of the Japanese economy: the relegation of women to low-paying, dead-end jobs in a workforce that depends on their labor to maintain its status as a world economic leader. Drawing upon historical materials, survey and statistical data, and extensive interviews in Japan, Mary Brinton provides an in-depth and original examination of the role of gender in Japan`s phenomenal postwar economic growth. Brinton finds that the educational system,the workplace, and the family in Japan have shaped the opportunities open to female workers. Women move in and out of the workforce depending on their age and family duties, a great disadvantage in a system that emphasizes seniority and continuous work experience. Brinton situates the vicious cycle that perpetuates traditional gender roles within the concept of human capital development, whereby Japanese society `underinvests` in the capabilities of women. The effects of this [detailed...]
