War offers opportunities for women to liberate their communities and build a better life for themselves. When women join rebel groups, they often take on new roles, cultivate new social networks, and develop new skills. These rebel women often gain the respect of rebel leaders, their comrades-in-arms, and the communities they're fighting for. When the guns are silenced, however, women have struggled to maintain the progress and prestige that they gained during war. Hilary Matfess investigates the gendered legacies of conflict and considers why it is so difficult for female veterans to defend the gains they made during war. This book explores how both individual female veterans and former-rebel political parties balance the incentives to continue their wartime activities or moderate them to succeed in the post-war period. The particular balance struck-by party elites and by female veterans-shapes women's rights and representation after war. Drawing on cross-national statistics and in-depth qualitative case studies of rebel groups-from Ethiopia, Namibia, El Salvador, and Nepal-Matfess advances a theory to explain the post-war legacies of women's participation in rebellion at both the individual and the organizational levels. This book helps us understand why women that were once lauded as the backbone of the revolution are so frequently relegated to the backburner after war.

This volume explores the priorities and hopes, strategies and campaigns, and achievements and failures of women who sought to shape British politics in different ways across the half century between the Attlee and Blair governments. It examines two central questions: what impact did women have on British politics in the second half of the twentieth century? And what did politics mean to women themselves? The authors argue that women were able to create significant political change, often discreet, gradual, behind-the-scenes, and longer term. But it happened nonetheless, forming new crevices, shorelines, and promontories on the map of British politics, and shifting the terrain for men as well as women. This change should not be underestimated, even when its limitations are clear. They also note that there was no revolutionary or dramatic change in women's political involvement across this period. The impact of women's political activity was uneven, and its influence did not go as far as advocates hoped. But cumulatively, women's efforts have profound and far-reaching consequences for conventional politics as well as for women's lives. This exploration demonstrates that British political history can be enriched and enlivened by greater attention to women and gender, and political history must continue to be an important part of women's history.

Menstruation is an everyday reality for many Canadians, yet it has long been a site of inequity and at the margins of political and academic inquiry. This is changing. Over the past two decades the global menstrual equity movement has pursued a spectrum of efforts to resist the mandate of shame, secrecy, and silence and to heighten awareness of menstruation as a social and political issue.Groundbreaking in its exploration of period politics from a uniquely Canadian perspective, Northern Blood brings together lived experiences, stories, and teachings from the broader menstruation justice movement and sets them within the context of decolonization, multiculturalism, and gender equity. This powerful collection sheds light on the diversity of sites where period politics and activism take place - from universities to prisons to social and geographical communities. Individual chapters discuss how online spaces are used to challenge menstruation stigma; the role of student-led advocacy in menstrual activism; how menstruation activists mobilized for the removal of the gst from menstrual products in 2015; structural injustices in menstrual experiences and activism among Black people, Indigenous people, people of colour, transgender men, and nonbinary people; and the barriers that may prevent menstruators from choosing reusable products.The first book of its kind to explore menstrual activism in Canada, Northern Blood brings together key voices to reflect the diversity of the menstrual equity movement in Canada, highlighting emerging and established scholars, grassroots activists, and political advocates.

Thinking about relationships between religion and sexuality usually focuses on what religion has to say about sex. But new ideas about sex could also transform religion itself. In Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, the new sexual sciences-from anthropological accounts of religion as rooted in ancient fertility cults to psychoanalytic theories that explained religious experience in terms of psychosexual development-characterized religion as closely connected to the sexual. The outcome, as Joy Dixon traces in this book, was a new sense that religion itself could be sexually suspect. One result of that new suspicion was an increasing concern to police "sexual heresies" and to produce a supposedly normal (healthy, monogamous, and heterosexual) religiosity. The overall effect was a narrowing of the sexual possibilities inside "orthodox" religion and the increasing association of alternative forms of religion with dissident and marginal sexualities that continues to shape both religion and secularism today. Considering a wide range of materials emerging from a diverse array of British society, from modernist theologians and practitioners of sexual magic to conservative Christians and radical freethinkers, this book emphasizes the dynamic relationships between the histories of religion and of sexuality and the historical contingency of the categories we have used to understand the relationship between the two.

The phenomenon of boomtowns and of various impacts from resource extraction is global in the sense that it affects many, but certainly not all, rural communities throughout the world. However, it is not a single, homogenous influence, but one with a diversity of effects, including, violence against women (VAW).Driven by sophisticated theoretical framework, one that integrates three discrete bodies of knowledge (VAW, green criminology, and rural criminology), this book (1) describes the nature, extent, and distribution of VAW in rural boomtowns around the world, (2) critiques what the authors refer to as an anomie/social disorganization model of VAW in rural boomtown communities, and (3) introduces the concept of patriarchal social reorganization and demonstrates that globalization and natural resource extraction did not bring VAW to rural communities, but rather intensified an existing problem.The authors call upon the criminological community, especially feminist and rural criminologists, to stretch their theoretical imaginations to examine patriarchal linkages between localized expressions of patriarchy, natural resource extraction and VAW. Moreover, heavily informed by a combination of sound research and theoretical work and progressive practices designed and implemented by left realists, human rights activists, Indigenous coalitions, and by feminists, this book recommends forward thinking and timely ways of curbing the types of violence identified throughout it.This is essential reading for all engaged in rural and feminist criminology, violence against women, and natural resource extraction.

Affected by Rape presents an affective approach to researching sexual violence, exploring how rape affects and how affects are implicated in the process of researching rape. With a methodological focus, this book develops nuanced insights into womxn's experiences of rape in South Africa.Drawing on intersectional decolonial, African-centred, and feminist perspectives, it analyses how dominant understandings of sexual violence, constituted by intersecting inequalities, constrain womxn's feelings about their experiences of rape. Weaving together autoethnography, in-depth interviewing and affective reflexivity, the book demonstrates how an affective approach can enrich understandings of and responses to sexual violence. The book shows how womxn resist, refuse and subvert dominant affective responses to rape, cultivating care, connection and solidarity in the face of denial, dismissal and dehumanisation. While situated in South Africa, the book speaks to global concerns about sexual and gender-based violence, as well as the politics of knowledge production in contexts of inequality.This book provides tools for working with affects as both epistemic and ethical resources for knowledge production. It will be valuable for researchers of sexual and gender-based violence, feminist and decolonial scholars, and those working on difficult, sensitive or stigmatised research topics.

ISBN 978-1-041-11341-6 hard ¥43,065.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book explores the link between Women's economic empowerment and IPV reduction by analysing how economic independence and access to resources empower women to address and escape abusive situations. Examining the systemic barriers that hinder progress, such as cultural norms, legal constraints, and gaps in social protection systems, it offers evidence-based analysis and practical recommendations including microfinance, skill-building initiatives, and community-based programs, to create a vital resource for policymakers, social workers, and advocates committed to creating safer, more equitable communities. Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a pervasive challenge in the 21st century, profoundly affecting individuals, families, and societies across the globe. Its far-reaching consequences undermine not only the safety and well-being of victims but also broader efforts toward gender equality and social justice. Combining insights from economics, gender, social work, sociology and development studies as well as mental health, this book offers a way forward and will be of interest to all scholars, students and professionals working in these areas.

For many, Mary Wollstonecraft functions as Western feminism's indisputable origin point and anchor. Once scorned as scandalous, later rehabilitated by the Victorians as a figure of hardworking traditional femininity, Wollstonecraft is today incorporated into a story of feminism as the West's cherished export to the rest of the world. With Wollstonecraft as its guide, this book argues that Western feminism and global modernity are not the natural intellectual and political allies they have long been made out to be, but have in fact been at odds for over two centuries. Julie Murray explores those aspects of Wollstonecraft's work that call us to understand modernity, and the form of white womanhood it celebrates, as a problem with which feminism must contend. Refracting the history of feminism through the reception of Wollstonecraft's life and thought by contemporaries such as Mary Hays and Elizabeth Hamilton as well as by twentieth-century thinkers like Hannah Arendt, Betty Friedan, Ruth Benedict, and Margaret Mead, Murray offers a potent critique of how liberal feminism tells celebratory tales of extraordinary women in part to manage its own contradictions. Reclaiming Wollstonecraft from the genre of female biography, this book ultimately finds her an astute critic of Western feminism itself.

This Element sheds light on the intersectionality of class and gender in political representation. Although the working class is grossly underrepresented in most legislative bodies across the globe, the underrepresentation of the working class is particularly severe among female representatives. This Element examines the political significance of the shortage of working-class women in political bodies. Specifically, it argues that the link between women's descriptive and symbolic representation will appear differently across economic class, which could, in turn, have significant implications for working-class women's political attitudes and behavior. The Element first theorizes and empirically tests the class-based differences in women's policy priorities. Next, it studies how the class-based representation gap in politics might undermine a sense of political efficacy among women from underprivileged backgrounds. Taken together, the theory and findings of this Element make vital contributions to gender and politics research by uncovering the class- and gender-based dynamics in political representation.

Over the last century, UK law has moved from endorsing, and in some cases mandating, unjust sex discrimination to a robust framework of distinct protections for women and girls. At the same time, our law has extended anti-discrimination protections to people who undergo gender reassignment, culminating in a system where individuals can change their legally recognised sex for some purposes. Sometimes the interests of these two groups conflict, most notably where the law must differentiate based on biological sex in contexts where those with transgender identities wish to be classed by reference to gender identity instead. For a time, there was uncertainty over the precise interaction between these competing interests within equality law. In 2025 this was resolved in a landmark case brought by the feminist organisation For Women Scotland. This book traces the history of how sex changed within our law and what that means for ongoing controversies over single-sex spaces, freedom of belief, freedom of expression, privacy, sport, and sexual intimacy.

Guelgecer, James Kartal, Youth, Masculinity and the Labour Market: Precarious Transitions in Post-Industrial Britain. (Youth, Young Adulthood and Society) 200 pp. 2026:2 (Routledge, UK) <761-351>
ISBN 978-1-032-88229-1 hard ¥43,065.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book examines young men's precarious education-to-employment transitions as they navigate educational, occupational and emotional challenges in the shadow of deindustrialisation and austerity.Using a mixed-methods approach, Guelgecer draws on survey and interview data to explore young men's perceptions and experiences of employment, unemployment, education and training in two post-industrial British cities. The book analyses how structural inequalities - fragmented labour markets, biased education systems and punitive welfare regimes - shape uncertain futures. With education emerging as a risky "gamble", apprenticeships desired but underfunded and unemployment often experienced as both stigma and moral injury, the study foregrounds the emotional costs of precarity - shame, anxiety and resilience - and reveals a fractured yet enduring agency among young men facing economic abandonment and processes of cultural misrecognition in post-industrial contexts.An interplay of material and affective precarity in youth education-to-employment transitions, this book will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, social policy, youth studies, labour market studies and masculinities. It will also be of value to professionals engaged with UK welfare, skills and labour market policy.

This Element examines language, power and intersex variations within clinician accounts in Hong Kong, examining how they communicate about intersex traits to patients and their families. Employing interactional sociolinguistics, the research analyses clinician interviews as dynamic social interactions, focusing on how communicative stances are negotiated and social practices are enacted. The Element probes the influence of biopower on clinicians' stances (encompassing gender, sexual difference, racialization and ableism) and explores the possibilities of emancipation from these biopolitical constraints. Findings highlight the tension between medical structuring forces and the formation of intersex subjects and bodies, impacting their autonomy and livability. Gender is relevant as both a power system and a lived reality, critical for understanding the bioregulation of innate sex characteristics and advancing broader implications for gender and language studies and healthcare communication. This research challenges gender-sceptical discourses and highlights the transformative potential of gender frameworks in medical and social contexts.

This book uses an intersectional theoretical framework to explore LGBTQI cancer, survivorship, and care, and engages with a unique psychosocial approach. Given the increasing recognition of LGBTQI communities as an underserved population in cancer care, and the need to provide tailored and culturally-sensitive care to these communities, this book is a timely and comprehensive guide for those wishing to understand LGBTQI patient and caregiver experiences and concerns and how these may be addressed in cancer care. The research on which the book is based addresses key limitations of the literature to date, including a lack of research on trans, intersex, adolescent and young adult, and carer experiences, and an overwhelming focus on breast and prostate cancers. The authors aim to identify and understand the complex intersection of gender, sexual identity, age, and other categories of difference, in relation to the cancer survivorship and care experiences of LGBTQI individuals, across a range of sexual identities, cancer types, and age groups. They ascertain barriers and facilitators to the delivery of culturally competent cancer communication and care to LGBTQI patients through an audit of guidelines and resources, and via the perspective of service providers. And finally, they aim to Synthesise and implement these findings into recommendations for tailored support materials for LGBTQI survivors and carers, and LGBTQI cancer best practice and policy recommendations. This is a valuable resource for LGBTQI researchers in Psychology, Queer theory, Social Sciences, Medicine, Health Sciences, Social Work, Gender Studies, Oncology. It will be of interest to researchers and clinicians, and LGBTQI people with cancer.

Mary Ann Bickerdyke led a remarkable life. A widowed mother from Illinois, she became an influential traveling nurse and Sanitary Commission agent during the American Civil War. She followed the Union Army through four years and nineteen battles, established hundreds of hospitals, assisted surgeons with amputations, treated fevers, and fed the soldiers in her care. Known affectionately as "Mother" to thousands of soldiers, Bickerdyke's work bridged the private world of home caregiving and the public demands of wartime and institutional medicine. Drawing on a rich archive of personal letters, military records, and newspapers, Megan VanGorder explores how Bickerdyke used her maternal identity to challenge norms, advocate for soldiers, and pioneer compassionate care practices before, during, and after the Civil War. A Mother's Work uses key episodes from Bickerdyke's life to reveal broader truths about motherhood, medicine, and women's roles in the nineteenth century, and offers an intimate and historically grounded portrait of one woman's evolving identity and the use of the moniker that made her famous. In reassessing her work and legacy, this book also serves as a new perspective on how white working-class women contributed to the transitional period of the Civil War era to reshape public health, social care, and national memory.

Black Market Intimacies reveals how illicit exchanges of money and commodities involving sexual encounters between Korean and Japanese women and US soldiers provided the material foundations of the regional economy across Korea and Japan during the Korean War. Against the conventional view that illicit exchanges exist outside the formal economy and legal regulations, Jeongmin Kim examines how the interlinked markets for transactional sex and goods crucially constituted the transpacific formation of US military base capitalism in post-World War II East Asia. Going beyond what is commonly categorized as prostitution and violence in Cold War archives, Kim weaves together stories from the myriads of mundane records scattered around multilingual archives to document larger transnational webs of the war economy. From Korean women who brought camel blankets and whiskey to local markets in Seoul, to middle-aged Okinawan women dealing in US military notes, Kim uncovers the crucial roles that local women played in circulating war supplies and currency across the region through their sexual and intermediary labor. The result is an intimate and global history of the Korean War that urges us to rethink the often-antithetical relationship between sexual intimacy and market economies in the context of war and occupation.

Grounded in Critical Race Theory and Chicana Feminist traditions, the text demonstrates how stories can animate numbers, challenging deficit narratives and reclaiming the mathematical wisdom and genius of Communities of Color.Through personal narratives, theoretical insights, and methodological innovations, the authors chart a pathway for transforming statistical practices into acts of resistance, remembrance, and care. Each chapter interweaves lived experiences of exclusion and resilience with critical frameworks such as racial realism, intersectionality, and cultural intuition. The book foregrounds how story(ing) numbers - treating data as narrative and action - opens possibilities for reclaiming mathematics as a communal, embodied, and justice-oriented practice. Case studies on educational pipelines, GIS mapping, and epistemic network analysis illustrate how computational tools can be repurposed to visualize inequities while honoring the dignity of marginalized communities. Ultimately, this work offers a praxis for engaging data in ways that resist invisibility, expose structural inequities, and advance equity, healing, and liberation.This book is written for scholars, graduate students, educators, and practitioners across education, sociology, ethnic studies, and data sciences. It will especially benefit those interested in critical methodologies, QuantCrit, Women of Color feminist theory, Chicana Feminist and approaches to research-providing tools to rethink how numbers and stories together can advance justice in education and beyond

Thym, Anika, Gender and Leadership in the Financial Sector: Transformative Potentials of Self-Critique by Men in Leadership Positions. (Routledge Advances in Feminist Studies and Intersectionality) 304 pp. 2026:2 (Routledge, UK) <761-311>

This book examines men in powerful positions who question relations of power and domination from within. Through an intersectional lens, it illustrates how gender, class, and other dimensions of domination intertwine, and what emancipatory critique can emerge from such privileged positions.Drawing on interviews with twenty-three current and former male executives from the Swiss financial sector alongside autobiographical accounts, the study analyses patterns of what the author terms 'emancipatory eutopian critique' - focusing less on critique as heroic opposition and more on transformations toward caring relationships. From fathers abandoning lucrative careers to care for children, to executives embracing 'feminine' leadership, these narratives illuminate 'eutopian transformations', showing how an orientation toward caring relations to the self and others in the present can create more dialogical and caring futures. The analysis demonstrates how privilege can become a site of resistance and offers theoretical tools, including 'gender as mosaic'.Aimed at scholars, policy-makers, practitioners and students interested in links between men, masculinities, organisations and social transformation, this book is an invaluable resource for those working in and beyond such fields as gender studies, critical studies on men and masculinities, organisation and leadership studies, political science, sociology, social and public policy, and social movement studies.

Mehta, Samira K., God Bless the Pill: The Surprising History of Contraception and Sexuality in American Religion. 272 pp. 2026:4 (U. North Carolina Pr., US) <761-186>

Most people today understand contraception as central to women's liberation, and when the birth control pill arrived in 1960, the media thought it would usher in a sexual revolution. But a surprising number of religious Americans in the mid-twentieth century also saw contraception as part of God's plan-a tool to create happy, prosperous American families in the post-World War II era. In God Bless the Pill, Samira K. Mehta traces the remarkable story of how mid-twentieth-century Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish voices promoted the use of birth control and made it more accessible for many Americans. They hoped birth control methods would curb divorce rates by encouraging sexually dynamic marriages and families unstrained by "too many" children-thereby creating a postwar upwardly mobile middle class. Religious leaders also promoted this understanding of the family as tied to Cold War capitalism and encouraged neither racial nor gender equity. But then came the backlash, both from the Right-which failed to anticipate the feminist potential of contraception-and from the Left, where women, particularly women of color, sought to ensure that birth control was a tool of liberation rather than one rooted in patriarchal and racial oppression. Ultimately, Mehta offers compelling new insights into the way religion accommodates itself to social, technological, and medical change.

Audio erotica is sexually explicit audio-only content, designed to arouse the listener and bring them fulfilment. While it has existed for a long time, it has achieved significant popularity in recent years, driven by apps like Quinn, Dipsea, Emjoy and Ferly. Notably, these apps - and many like them - were founded by women and are predominantly targeted to female audiences, making audio erotica a fascinating form of "porn for women".Audio Erotica focuses on these four apps as the contemporary "face" of audio erotica. Through textual and paratextual analysis, it offers an overview of the types and genres of erotic content available on the apps. It situates audio erotica in histories and lineages of both pornography and erotica (and feminist thought about them) and audio media. Moreover, it situates audio erotica in the context of several key discourses, such as wellness, authenticity and intimacy, as it analyses the ways in which the apps imagine their female listener and what she wants from sexually explicit media - which is, importantly, different from what men are imagined as wanting from pornography.This is the first book-length study of audio erotica, making it a foundational resource for anyone doing research in the area. It offers a multifaceted understanding of the form, and makes several key contributions to studies of sexually explicit media directed towards women and discourses around female sexual desire.

This collection critically examines the translation of international queer media and popular culture in China, offering insights into how queer media travels across international borders and interacts with mainstream media flows and local cultures. The book brings together work from queer translation studies as well as emergent research on methodologies and online subcultures to explore not only textual translation but reception and media cultures. Case studies range from television shows such as Heartstopper to The L Word and films such as Carol and Call Me by Your Name. In exploring diverse genres and forms of media, chapters collectively elucidate the ways in which popular culture can transmit ideas about sexuality and subsequently, how these ideas are negotiated, adapted, and altered in translation. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in translation studies, Chinese studies, gender and sexuality studies, and media studies.

Situates the remake as one of the primary responses to Bollywood's globalization and corporatization.Focused on post-1990 Bollywood remakes of Hollywood films, Deja Viewed tells a larger story of the rapidly changing Indian film industry in the wake of globalization and corporatization. It situates the remake as a gendered response to these changes, drawing on approaches from film theory, gender studies, and cultural studies. The book looks at films from a variety of genres and modes, including the Bollywood family film, romantic comedy, noir, and melodrama, and each film's close analysis is accompanied by attention to concerns related to remake theory, such as homage, anxiety of influence, defamiliarization, and pastiche. Seeking to historicize how gender and genres become translated and transformed in the Bollywood remake, the book contributes to transnational understandings of gender and genre as media texts move across various borders-geographic, cinematic, economic, and aesthetic.

Simonova, Olga, Women in the First World War and the Russian Civil War: Voices and Representations in Russian Literature. (Routledge Research in Women's Literature) 258 pp. 2026:4 (Routledge, UK) <761-1324>

Women in the First World War and the Russian Civil War explores how Russian literature and autobiographical writing portrayed nurses, women soldiers, and commanders who served in the First World War and Russian Civil War.Simonova's research challenges the traditional perception of war as a masculine domain, introducing the concept of military femininities, particularly 'expanded femininity', which combines traditional feminine traits such as consolation, care, and inspiration with bravery, militancy, and leadership. The study focuses on lesser-known texts from the 1910s to the early 1930s, encompassing both well-known and underexplored writers like Boris Pilnyak, Boris Lavrenev, Eduard Bagritsky, Veniamin Kaverin, Zinaida Chalaia, Tatiana Dubinskaia, Sofia Fedorchenko, and Liusia Argutinskaia, as well as the diaries of sisters of mercy. With this comprehensive range of literary sources, this book demonstrates that representations of women are crucial to shaping and understanding the reception of these wars.Offering a fresh perspective on gender, war, and memory in early twentieth-century Russian literature, this monograph will appeal not only to scholars of literature and gender issues, but also to anyone interested in cultural and military history.

Straw, Will, Nights in Fairyland: Gossip, Blackmail, and the Many Lives of "Broadway Brevities". 296 pp. 2026:2 (McGill-Queen's U. Pr., CN) <761-1326>

In 1925 the publishers of Broadway Brevities were tried for running an extortion operation targeting New York's social and cultural elites. While the first version of the magazine whispered gossip in columnists' suggestive innuendo, later incarnations shouted bold accusations in graphic tabloid headlines. On the pages of Broadway Brevities gossip was instrumentalized and urbanized, taking its place among the noisy, sensational features of city life.The life of the magazine's long-time editor, Canadian-born Stephen G. Clow, runs through this story, connecting the different incarnations of the magazine and the circles in which they were published (in New York, 1917-34, and later in Toronto). Clow's career took him from Manhattan's literary world, in his role as a critic and book publisher, to notoriety as a scandal-mongering editor. Beginning in the 1920s Clow gathered - or fabricated - allegations about high-profile people in theatre, cinema, and enterprise, then threatened to publish unless they paid up. Clow would brag to Time magazine that he was "the most famous and wicked blackmailer in world history." Broadway Brevities became infamous for sensational, vicious, and lurid coverage of gay life. Despite its mocking homophobia, Will Straw shows, the magazine can today help reconstitute the spaces and places of historical queer life in New York.Drawing on a singular collection of Brevities issues discovered over decades of research, Nights in Fairyland is a rich account of an overlooked form of periodical publishing and of urban nightlife, queer sociability, and the commodification of gossip in the 1920s and 1930s.

Revised and updated edition of the groundbreaking book on Black women in comic artThe 2018 release of Marvel's blockbuster Black Panther film catapulted African American comics and animation into the limelight, with strong Black women characters at the forefront. Black Women in Sequence showcases the deep history of women of African descent in comics subculture. From the 1971 appearance of the Skywald Publications character "the Butterfly" - the first Black female superheroine in a comic book - to contemporary comic books, graphic novels, film, manga, and video gaming, a growing number of Black women are becoming producers, viewers, and subjects of sequential art.As the first detailed investigation of Black women's participation in comic art, Black Women in Sequence, first published in 2015, examines the representation, production, and transnational circulation of women of African descent in the sequential art world. This new edition features additional interviews, updates, and a new chapter on the wave of Black female characters that appeared in TV immediately before and following Black Panther's success. An essential read for understanding the dynamics of race and gender in American comics, Black Women in Sequence demonstrates why narratives about women of African descent should and do matter to the comic book world and to writers, artists, fans, and readers.Praise for the first edition"Engaging and provocative, Black Women in Sequence is relevant not only to comic scholars, but to anyone with an interest in how difference is represented using visual rhetoric." - Feminist Media Studies"For every little Black girl and Black woman, who imagine themselves coloring both inside and outside the lines, Black Women in Sequence literally fills in the blank spaces, highlighting the contributions of Black Women in the genres of comics, graphic novels, and anime." -Mark Anthony Neal, author of Looking for Leroy: Illegible Black Masculinities

In spite of the double burden of racial and gender discrimination, African-American women have developed a rich intellectual tradition that is not widely known. Patricia Hill Collins's Black Feminist Thought has become a landmark book and the first to skilfully synthesize the many strands of Black feminist thought into a powerful, coherent argument for social justice.Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals and writers, both within the academy and without, providing a rich interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. Drawing from fiction, poetry, music, and oral history, the result is a brilliantly crafted and revolutionary book whose message is as important today as upon its first publication.This Routledge Classics edition, which includes a new Preface by the author, replaces the Thirtieth Anniversary edition.

Melissa Daggett's Eugene and Eulalie is an epic story of love, race, prosperity, and legal maneuvering. It chronicles for the first time in a comprehensive way the largely forgotten lives of Eulalie Mandeville, a free woman of color, and her white partner, Eugene Macarty. Mandeville and Macarty, both descendants of elite colonial families, began an interracial relationship in the 1790s that endured for more than half a century and produced five children. It also led to Mandeville's phenomenal rise to the pinnacle of wealth and success within the unique tripartite racial structure of nineteenth-century New Orleans. Daggett uses the voluminous Nicolas Theodore Macarty et al. vs. Eulalie Mandeville f.w.c. (1848) court case to examine how an interracial relationship continued for more than fifty years despite onerous laws during the Spanish regime and the antebellum era that complicated such partnerships. She examines the origins of the Macarty and Mandeville families, revealing how they paralleled each other in Louisiana history and often intersected on social, military, economic, and political levels. Daggett also analyzes the struggles of the free people of color in both colonial Louisiana and early America and explores the ways slavery, manumission, and inheritance laws connected the two families. Above all, her work recovers the unique story of Eugene Macarty and Eulalie Mandeville, which has languished in the shadows of historical obscurity for generations.

In a clinical landscape where traditional therapy models have historically been researched, constructed from, and designed for white heterosexual couples, this book offers an innovative framework to address the challenges, nuances, and strengths of diverse identities and relationships.Drawing from Attachment Theory, Structural Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and the rich history and resiliency of Black LGBTQIA+ communities from the Harlem Renaissance to contemporary Ballroom culture, Multidynamic Relational Therapy (MRT) transforms centuries of wisdom and resilience into a practical five-step framework. This model specifically addresses issues of rigidity, power dynamics, and attunement in loving relationships while helping client systems break free from society's limiting scripts about love and connection. Through compelling clinical examples, Dr. Pennant demonstrates how this framework helps individuals navigate intimate relationships and generational trauma, moving beyond merely solving problems to achieve "Radical Emancipation"- the complete rewriting of relationship rules to create partnerships that are authentically their own.This pioneering book provides clinicians with a versatile framework applicable to individuals, couples, families, and various relational constellations. It is an essential resource for therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals committed to culturally responsive practice and helping clients develop relationship patterns that honor their full humanity and unique relational needs.

A groundbreaking exploration of race, gender, and sexualityIn the wake of the US wars in Southeast Asia, the arrival of Hmong refugees reignited American anxieties about race and sexuality. Sensationalized media portrayals of child marriages, bride kidnappings, and polygamy framed Hmong communities as sexually deviant, reinforcing a racialized perception of their cultural practices. In Queering the Hmong Diaspora, Kong Pheng Pha dismantles these narratives, revealing how legal cases, media representations, and legislative efforts have constructed Hmong Americans as hyperheterosexual and ungovernable subjects.Critically examining how Hmong Americans are positioned within racial, gendered, and sexual discourses of liberalism, Pha explores the lived experiences of queer Hmong Americans, whose existence and activism challenge mainstream and ethnonationalist constructions of subjectivity. Addressing Hmong American gender and sexual politics through feminist, queer, and social justice lenses, Pha offers a critical framework for understanding how race and sexuality intersect in shaping the lives of minoritized refugee communities in the United States and beyond.

Despite the LGBTQ movement's rapid growth and significant policy successes over the past few decades, many mainstream religions continue to discriminate against queer communities. In response, LGBTQ people have mobilized across a wide range of religious traditions, advocating for church leaders to ordain LGBTQ clergy, accept LGBTQ people as members, officiate same-sex weddings, and affirm the dignity and worth of transgender and nonbinary people. Bringing together leading scholars of social movements, religion, and gender and sexuality in one volume, Jonathan S. Coley and Golshan Golriz have curated a comprehensive look at religiously affiliated social movements within many faiths, charting everything from why and how LGBTQ people engage in activism to the outcomes of their efforts. Contributors include Joseph Anthony, Orit Avishai, James Cavendish, Stephen Ellingson, Leya Essex, Melinda D. Kane, Nancy Malcom, Dawne Moon, A. J. Ramirez, Shanon Shah, Theresa Tobin, and Michelle Voyles.

Communist gender policies were often violent, placing many people, particularly women, in difficult and marginalized positions. Targeted individuals were rarely consulted, yet their clothing and bodily practices were consistently policed and politicized. Across Central Asia, veils, the fez, shalvari, circumcision, and even Muslim names were banned or stigmatized. Sickle and Veil offers a comprehensive transnational history of communist gender policies by looking at how ideas about gender were crafted, travelled across borders, adapted to fit local needs, and negotiated at both community and personal levels in the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia. Drawing on extensive archival research across six languages and multiple countries, this book brings connectedness to the fore. By tracing internal developments, turning points, ruptures, and controversies, the book deconstructs established national historiographies. It demonstrates how Soviet policies in Central Asia significantly influenced the ways in which other communist regimes approached Muslim populations in their own contexts. With attention to both high politics and everyday life, Sickle and Veil gives voice to those who resisted, complied with, or adapted to these interventions. It reveals how gender, religion, and power intersected in the communist imagination, and how policies directed towards religious minorities were driven not only by atheism but also by deeper anxieties about modernity, conformity, and control.

Illuminates a transformational event in the development of Asian American and Pacific Islander feminismsIn November 1977, over twenty thousand participants, mostly women, gathered in Houston for the first and only US National Women's Conference, funded by the federal government with the goal of creating a national women's agenda. In Moving Mountains, Judy Tzu-Chun Wu and Adrienne Winans center the more than eighty Asian American and Pacific Islander delegates who politically mobilized around women's rights and other issues to transform their communities and their status in the nation-state.Foregrounding figures like Congresswoman Patsy Takemoto Mink and poet Mitsuye Yamada, Wu and Winans position AA and PI women as central actors in the era's feminist politics, engaging with, and at times resisting, state institutions to forge paths toward racial and gender justice. From Guam to New York, the women articulated intersecting demands-for inclusion, sovereignty, labor rights, and education reform - at a moment when conservative backlash and racial realignment were reframing feminist movements. More than a recovery of voices, this book offers a layered analysis of coalition and tension between Asian American and Pacific Islander feminisms, complicating assumptions of unity and illustrating how feminist praxis evolved through disagreement, difference, and shared commitment. This book is vital reading for anyone interested in feminist history, Asian American and Pacific Islander activism, and the unfinished work of collective liberation.

Why do representations of rape tend to look the same? Why do they frequently feature themes of media technology and surveillance? This book traces the role of surveillance technology in film and television depictions of rape in the 2000s. It shows how the stranger rape narrative is popularly used as a sense-making tool for the entanglement of the body, digital technology, and institutions of power. These films and television series interrogate the digital management of self-representation. In a cultural context defined by digitally galvanized feminist movements, a growing awareness of online gender violence, and a global movement aimed at shuttering these discussions, this book is even more pressing if we are to make sense of the relationship between offline and online forms of gender violence and the evolving cultural meaning of the rape narrative.

Beyond Building offers a groundbreaking exploration of nineteenth-century French architecture through the lens of gender, focusing on the years 1852 to 1902. Highlighting the creative work of four women and one nonbinary individual, this book reveals that architectural production extended beyond men, even when only men could be officially certified as architects. Drawing on diverse materials, including poetry, photography, archaeological artifacts, literary fiction, theater sets, and journalism, Beyond Building brings to light the contributions of those long excluded from architectural scholarship due to their gender. This book advocates for a more expansive understanding of architecture's history by including overlooked makers and works. It examines figures such as Jane Dieulafoy, whose gender-fluid life as an archeologist in Iran is captured in colonial-era writings; Marie Krysinska, the only woman in the free-verse poetry movement; photographer Genevieve-Elisabeth Disderi and the Countess de Castiglione, who linked architecture and early photography; the hidden career of journalist Laure Labrouste; and the American Julia Morgan, the first woman certified as an architect in France. Through these case studies, Beyond Building demonstrates how considering gender alongside architecture opens new perspectives on artistic innovation, imperialism, and cultural change in nineteenth-century France.

Burkhardt, Julia / Lutter, Christina, I, Helene Kottannerin: The Lady-in-Waiting Who Stole Hungary's Crown. Tr. by J. R. Lyon. 160 pp. 2026:2 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <761-1446>

This remarkable translation portrays Helene Kottannerin's thrilling and rare autobiographical tale of stealing the Hungarian royal crown in 1440 to protect the throne for the unborn heir of Queen Elizabeth of Luxembourg. In a time of political uncertainty following King Albert II's death, the pregnant and widowed queen entrusted her lady-in-waiting, Helene, with the daring mission to retrieve the kingdom's Holy Crown from the castle of Visegrad. Helene's successful theft not only altered the course of Hungarian history but also inspired her to compose one of the most extraordinary autobiographical documents of late medieval Central Europe - a rarity for its time, especially from a woman's perspective. Esteemed historians and translators Julia Burkhardt, Christina Lutter, and Jonathan R. Lyon offer an up-to-date English translation of Helene's vivid narrative, originally written in Early New High German.

Neoliberal Feminism and the Discourse of Self-Improvement utilizes feminist critical discourse analysis to examine the language and narratives within self-help literature targeted at women.Giuliana Ferri critically explores the discourse of self-improvement, focusing on how neoliberal values of empowerment and individual fulfilment have been co-opted by elite feminism as a "technology of the self." She unpacks how this discourse constructs an idealized image of the "empowered woman"-one who is portrayed as capable of overcoming patriarchy through the affirmation of innate strength and resilience. Drawing on Marxist feminism and feminist social reproduction theory, the book highlights how neoliberal feminism markets women as entrepreneurs, "badass feminists," and successful working mothers, all while obscuring the realities of increasing work precarization and flexibilization in post-industrial societies.Through its feminist critical discourse analysis, the book reveals how these seemingly empowering narratives shift the responsibility for systemic change onto individuals, rather than positioning feminism as a collective, anti-capitalist movement for liberation. By integrating applied linguistics with Marxist feminism and social reproduction theory, this text provides a unique interdisciplinary perspective, making it a key reading for scholars and students of language, gender, and economic systems.

Reveals the limits and exclusions of defining desire as universalCompulsory sexuality - where sexual desire is seen as fundamental to human experience -not only pervades popular culture but is foundational to scientific research. Through a sharp intersectional lens, Kristina Gupta's Acing Science interrogates a wide range of scientific studies, from clinical diagnoses of "sexual disinterest" and neuroimaging of desire to models of asexual reproduction, revealing how dominant science has pathologized the absence of sexual desire while tying sexual activity to health, social relationships, and citizenship. By exposing the assumptions undergirding these studies, Gupta shows how sexual desire has been framed as universal and socially necessary, while asexuality is often rendered invisible or suspect.At the core of the book is a compelling critique: that scientific discourses of sexuality are not based on objective biological facts but are sustained by broader systems of power - sexism, racism, ableism, and settler colonialism. Yet Acing Science is not merely a critique but a radical invitation. By rereading hegemonic science, Gupta opens space for reimagining how desires, pleasures, and relationships might be understood beyond narrow sexual frames. The result is a powerful intervention, essential reading for scholars in feminist science studies, sexuality studies, and anyone interested in how knowledge systems shape the intimate contours of everyday life.

ソ連における女性、ジェンダー、社会主義のアイデンティティ

This book examines the place of women in Soviet Russia from the 1917 Revolution through the post-World War II period, discussing how the Soviet construction of gender perpetuated inequality even as it dramatically expanded women's roles in society.Chapters explore Bolshevik activists' ideals of women's liberation and their failure to realize these ideals; the significance of women's labor to the Soviet economy, alongside continued workplace discrimination; state reproductive policies and essentialist understandings of femininity; women's World War II military service and representations of gender in postwar commemorations; and the role of socialist ideology in the formation of the Soviet system and Stalinist culture. Throughout, Hoffmann places Soviet history in its international context, including comparisons of Soviet women's social positions with those of their counterparts in other countries. The book makes clear the centrality of the Soviet gender order to the country's social, cultural, and political history, as well as providing an important historical case for understanding the broader struggle for women's equality.Intended for students and scholars alike, this book is a valuable resource for all those interested in gender history, Soviet history, labor history and World War II.

I Will Not Abandon You brings to life the unrelenting defiance of queer women in fascist Germany. In his latest book, award-winning historian Samuel Clowes Huneke shows how love, queer resistance, and collective action survived in the harrowing circumstances of Nazi rule. Drawing on a decade of archival research, Huneke takes readers into a hidden world, from the wartime balls that lesbian activists continued to organize to the concentration camps where women accused of loving women were imprisoned. Following a diverse cast of characters, Huneke reveals both the oppression that queer women faced and how they resisted fascism in solidarity with one another. Arguing that this solidarity - which transcended race, class, and gender - offers a compelling alternative to today's fractured identity politics, I Will Not Abandon You is a vital, new history of queer life under fascism and a call to rethink the foundations of progressive politics today.
