Women in Texas Music: Stories and Songs

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Texas Press
Description: Across the state and across a wide variety of musical genres, women are making their mark on Texas music. Some have become international superstars, while others are just starting to make their voices heard. But every woman who goes out and plays her music proves that `baring one`s heart and soul takes courage, and Texas women artists have a lot of courage,` as Lloyd Maines observes in the opening interview of this book. To pay tribute to these dedicated musicians and to capture their unique perspectives on what it means to be a woman in the music business, Kathleen Hudson has spent many years interviewing Texas women musicians for the Texas Heritage Music Foundation. In Women in Texas Music, Hudson lets us listen in on conversations with thirty-nine musical artists, including Emily Robison, Terri Hendrix, Lee Ann Womack, Rosie Flores, Betty Buckley, Marcia Ball, Lavelle White, and Bobbie Nelson. Hudson encourages and allows the women to tell their own stories as she delves into… [detailed...]

Women in Transition: Voices from Lithuania

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Women in Transition addresses the historical, social, economic and political dynamics affecting the lives of women during Lithuania`s transition from communism to democracy. This book demonstrates that democracy has not diminished gender discrimination. In fact, the recent political and economic changes threaten to widen the gender gap through a decline in political representation, an increase in women`s unemployment and underemployment, and the threat of restrictive reproductive policies. Furthermore, low birth rates coupled with a sharp rise in nationalism has led to propaganda encouraging women to return to home and family. Women in Transition details how women are responding to these changes. The first and only book published about Lithuanian women by Lithuanian women, this unique volume fills a gap in knowledge of the country`s society and the role of its women. An important contribution to the growing body of literature on post-communism, the book is written by many of the… [detailed...]

Women in Turmoil: Six Plays by Mercedes De Acosta (Theater in the Americas)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this first publication of six plays by the flamboyantly uninhibited author, poet, and playwright Mercedes de Acosta (1893?1968), theater historian Robert A. Schanke rescues these lost theatrical writings from the dusty margins of obscurity. Often autobiographical, always rife with gender struggle, and still decidedly stageworthy, Women in Turmoil: Six Plays by Mercedes de Acosta constitutes a significant find for the canon of gay and lesbian drama. In her 1960 autobiography Here Lies the Heart, de Acosta notes that as she was contemplating marriage to a man in 1920, she was `in a strange turmoil about world affairs, my own writing, suffrage, sex, and my inner spiritual development.` The voice in these plays is that of a lesbian in turmoil, marginalized and ignored. Her same-sex desires and struggles for acceptance fueled her writings, and nowhere is that more evident than in the plays contained herein. The women characters struggle with unfulfilling… [detailed...]

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhen the Civil War broke out, women answered the call for help. They broke away from their traditional roles and served in many capacities, some of them even going so far as to disguise themselves as men and enlist in the army.

More than sixty women who fought or who served the Union or Confederacy in other important ways are featured in this work. Among those included are Sarah Thompson, the Union spy and nurse who brought down the famous raider John Hunt Morgan, Elizabeth Van Lew, the Union spy who was instrumental in the success of the largest prisonbreak of the Civil War, Sarah Malinda Blalock, who fought for the Confederacy as a soldier and then for the Union as a guerrilla raider, Dr. Mary Walker, a doctor for the Union and the only woman to receive the Congressional Medal of… [detailed...]

Women in the World Economy: An Instraw Study

— y.

Description: Until now, there has been little coordinated research on the role of women in the economics of developing countries, or on the impact of the international economy on women in those countries. Here, Susan Joekes not only examines women who are engaged inwhat is defined as gainful, or wage earning employment, she also considers the role of women in unpaid labor such as household work, farm work on their own land, and other activities that require managing resources. Specially commissioned by the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW), this study examines such topics as trade and finance, technological change, agriculture, industry, services, and emerging trends in the international economy as related to women, and concludes with proposals for innovative development policies.

Women of Wine: The Rise of Women in the Global Wine Industry

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This inspiring, engagingly written book, with its personal approach and global scope, is the first to explore women`s increasingly influential role in the wine industry, traditionally a very male-dominated domain. Women of Wine draws on interviews with dozens of leading women winemakers, estate owners, professors, sommeliers, wine writers, and others in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere to create a fascinating mosaic of the women currently shaping the wine world that also offers a revealing insiders` look at the wine industry. To set the stage, Ann B. Matasar chronicles the historical barriers to women`s participation in the industry, reviews post-World War II changes that created new opportunities for them, and pays tribute to a few extraordinary nineteenth-century women who left their mark on wine despite the odds against them. She then turns to her primary topic: an accessible discussion of women associated with… [detailed...]

Sally Cooper Cole
Women of the Praia

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this richly detailed, sensitive ethnographic work, Sally Cole takes as her starting point the firsthand accounts of five differently situated Portuguese women, who describe their lives in a rural fishing community on the north coast of Portugal. Skillfully combining these life stories with cultural and economic analysis, Cole radically departs from the picture of women as sexual beings that prevails in the anthropological literature on Europe and the Mediterranean. Her very different strategy--a focuson women as workers--reflects the Portuguese women`s own definition of themselves and allows them the strong, resonant voice that is the goal of both the new ethnography and feminist scholarship. From this new perspective, Cole proposes an important critique of the dominant paradigm of southern European gender relations as being embedded in the code of honor and shame. Covering the Salazar years, as well as the period since the 1974 Revolution, Cole shows that fisherwomen of the past… [detailed...]
