Can I be a good scientist and a good mother? This haunting question shapes the lives of many academic women.

This book examines the double-lock linking maternity and academic careers in contemporary Italy: how motherhood-and even its anticipation-shapes recruitment, evaluation and stabilization, and how academic competitiveness and precarity, in turn, reshape fertility choices and timing.

Drawing on narrative interviews with two generations of scholars and engaging with international literature, it shows how institutional cultures and gendered expectations reinforce structural constraints while normalizing unequal trade-offs. It identifies pathways to rethink academic careers so that excellence and parenthood can coexist.

Anxious Intersectionality offers an ethnographic exploration of feminist activism in Stockholm, Scandinavia's largest city and a vibrant hub for feminist organizing in the late 2010s.

Drawing on thirteen months of immersive fieldwork across a diverse range of activist spaces - including a queer feminist safe-space vegan cafe, Sweden's feminist political party and its youth wing, an organization for male feminists and allies, a women and non-binary separatist fanzine group, feminist markets, protests, and social media - the book examines the pervasive anxiety that shapes feminist activism today. Rather than treating anxiety as a personal or psychological issue, the book elaborates on how it is collectively produced and practiced within an activist community through the concept of interpretive precedence. Confronting the sources and drivers of internal conflict and anxiety in activist spaces, researcher Kristian Sandbekk Norsted highlights how movements risk becoming pacified and fragmented.

Offering a rare look into the world of activist communities, Norsted explores intersectionality beyond the bounds of theory. The book offers a critical yet empathetic account of underlying tensions within activist groups, contributing to broader debates on feminism, activism, intersectionality, and the emotional politics of social movements.

Homophobia in Nazi Concentration Camps is a seminal study of the often-stigmatised topic of homophobia among prisoners in Nazi camps. This book reinterprets how prisoner memory and historical historiography reported on same-sex relations and challenges the silence surrounding queerness in the Holocaust, a frequently overlooked aspect of Holocaust history.

Utilising the lens of prisoner perception, the book explores the paths of victims and survivors, who were persecuted by the Nazis and had same-sex relations in the camp. It traces the hierarchies and societal norms in the camp, providing a momentous glimpse into the workings of the prisoner society. Through the captivating analysis of early testimonies, oral histories, memoirs and extensive archival materials, the book empathetically reconstructs the experiences and lives of victims and survivors, who had previously been silenced, developing a new and important perspective on camp society.

Historian Uta Rautenberg takes a victim- and survivor-centered approach and provides an analysis of queer experiences and accusations. The book explores both female and male experiences and thus contributes to gender history, women's history, and the history of sexuality. It offers explanations for gender differences in homophobia and queer experiences and reminds us of the indispensable need for an inclusive approach to history.

Working-class girls make vital contributions to society through social action, yet their efforts are too often rendered invisible or unrecognised. Girlhoods and Social Action confronts the persistent inequalities shaping participation, revealing how intersecting power relations related to gender, class and race both constrain and devalue girls' efforts.

Drawing on empirical research and an ethnographic study of 17 working-class, mainly racially-minoritised, girls across three schools in London's poorest boroughs, this book exposes how structural disadvantage influences access to opportunities and shapes girls' experiences and outcomes.

Offering an original intersectional framework, the book rethinks youth social action through the concepts of the 'successful girl', the 'good girl' and the 'authentic girl'. It demonstrates how social action can both reproduce and challenge inequality and proposes new ways to conceptualise participation that foreground girls' voices, agency and lived realities.

This book examines the various roles women played in royal succession from ancient Western Asia to the modern United Kingdom. It argues that royal succession, from antiquity to modernity, has rarely, if ever, been self-evident. In many ways, a period of succession is a time of crisis, one in which royal women often play important roles. Regardless of whether the monarch has died after a period of illness, been killed in war or in a plot, succumbed to an accident when jousting, or been deposed, imprisoned, or forced into exile, a power vacuum ensues. Successions, whether anticipated or unforeseen, thus pose problems that call for various considerations; a wide array of stakeholders, including powerful women, are affected by the consequences and seek to influence succession.

Sexual consent is often framed as the boundary between sex and sexual violence, frequently upheld as the key to transforming unethical sexual cultures. But what of the factors shaping people's positive experiences of negotiating sex, beyond the minimal threshold of avoiding sexual violence?

This book centres the experiences of bi+ individuals, introducing a new framework for understanding how gender, sexuality and bodily norms shape people's negotiation of positive sexual experiences. By demonstrating how queer bodies can challenge restrictive norms, the book shifts the focus away from risk reduction and highlights the need for a strengths-based approach that celebrates queer gender and sexuality. It provides fresh insights for scholars, educators and policy makers seeking more inclusive, effective strategies for sexuality education and sexual violence prevention.

Comprehensive scholarship on fatherhood from evolutionary, physiological, and psychological perspectives

Now in its Sixth Edition, The Role of the Father in Child Development remains the authoritative reference on paternal influences across cultures and contexts. Edited by Michael E. Lamb, whose research has shaped family law and policy internationally, this volume synthesizes recent scholarship from evolutionary biology, physiology, psychology, and sociology to provide a rounded understanding of contemporary fatherhood worldwide.

This edition presents up-to-date summaries of fatherhood research, including a chapter from leading psychologist James Rilling, whose specialized work on evolutionary and neurological bases of paternal behavior reaches a broader audience here. The volume examines father-child relationships across diverse family structures, including post-divorce arrangements, foster care, adoption, and LGBTQ+ parenting contexts.

The book also covers:

• Cross-cultural perspectives on father involvement and paternal roles across diverse societies and family structures around the world
• Evolutionary and physiological foundations of fathering behavior drawn from current biological anthropology and neuroscience research findings
• Research-based guidance for legal practitioners working on custody evaluations, divorce proceedings, and family court matters
• Evidence informing policy decisions on fostering, adoption, and diverse family arrangements including same-sex and LGBTQ+ parenting
• Multidisciplinary frameworks integrating psychology, sociology, and family social science perspectives on contemporary paternal engagement

Essential for scholars, researchers, and advanced students in developmental psychology and family studies, The Role of the Father in Child Development also serves practitioners in psychology, social work, and criminology. Legal professionals handling family and custody matters, custody evaluators, and policy makers will find authoritative evidence to inform their work with fathers and families.

This handbook gathers the main concepts, theoretical approaches, research fields and applications that have emerged from the intersection between translation, gender, and sexuality. Over the past three decades, translation studies (a dynamic field of descriptive and critical inquiry) has increasingly incorporated feminist perspectives, sexual diversity voices, and queer and trans approaches. The volume revisits and critically assesses this tradition while also identifying new directions for future research within an intersectional framework that brings together perspectives from diverse backgrounds and contexts. Organized into four sections covering basic concepts, politics of translation, forms of representation, and practices and applications, the handbook is intended for both students and experienced researchers seeking a comprehensive overview of key current themes, issues, and research topics in translation, gender, and sexuality.

Why do we keep returning to the Weimar Republic as a focal point for queer and trans histories, and why are images so crucial to our understanding of this period? This volume brings together research from disciplines including history, art history, literature, film, performance, and gender studies to explore the ongoing resonances of visual and narrative queer mythologies from Weimar Germany, often considered a "golden age" for queer culture and a period of relative rights and freedoms.

Chapters contribute new readings of classic Weimar art and film while significantly expanding the archive of queer Weimar by examining new or previously overlooked visual materials and relations: from occult practices to the vagaries of human-animal love, and from trans representations on film to the ambiguous tensions of forbidden intergenerational desire. Taken together, this volume generates a deep understanding of the twentieth-century emergence of queer and trans subjects through visual media; it develops methods that give prominence to the voices and perspectives of the historical subjects of sexual science; and it critically interrogates past practices of sexual knowledge production for understandings of LGBTQI lives today.

How do older women use art and media to resist ageist and sexist norms that regulate their intimacy and sexuality?

This book brings the subversive aesthetic strategies of older women to the forefront, using the concept of 'unruliness', understood as a failure or unwillingness to conform.

Drawing on critical age studies, feminist theory and allied critical approaches, the book develops a new conceptual model that positions ageing women's aesthetic interventions as a source of insight and social change.

Combining theory with close readings of art and media, this book is a bold framework for rethinking ageing, sexuality and empowerment.

Care work is essential. And yet, Western capitalist societies are organised in a way as to neglect care work and make it invisible.

Building on feminist critiques of labour law, this book analyses how private care work has been socially constituted as the Other in relation to work on labour markets. By bringing labour law, with its collective structures, into conversation with individual anti-discrimination law, it develops a solidaristic form of labour law that includes unpaid care work.

It shows how the law can be used to challenge collective organisations' understandings of work in order to integrate and accommodate the Other of labour law.

Violence against women is conventionally framed as interpersonal violence perpetrated by men. While intimate partner violence and sexual assault are significant social problems, such a narrow framing obscures the diversity of women's experiences, fails to illuminate the role social structures play, and excludes discussions of workplace, state, institutional, and symbolic violence. By drawing on a range of theoretical traditions emerging from feminism, criminology, and sociology, Women and Gendered Violence in Canada significantly broadens the conversation on violence against women.

Social scientists Chris Bruckert and Tuulia Law begin by developing the conceptual and contextual framework underpinning gendered violence followed by an examination of its various manifestations: interpersonal, workplace, and structural. Each chapter puts historical context in conversation with current social issues, attends to the diversity of women's experiences, and critically considers normative social and carceral "solutions," while highlighting women's resistance. First person narratives are integrated throughout to personalize the material and issues being examined, and each chapter ends with a suggested activity to facilitate further engagement.

This thoroughly updated second edition of Women and Gendered Violence in Canada considers recent shifts and changes in Canadian society, discourses, and laws.

This book examines the ways in which European queens engaged with De institutione foeminae Christianae (1524), the most popular instructional manual for women in sixteenth-century Europe. Vives (c. 1493-1540) dedicated the volume to Catherine of Aragon, queen of England as the wife of Henry VIII. Richard Hyrde did the same with his English translation. Juan Justiniano dedicated his Spanish translation to Germaine de Foix, dowager queen of Aragon as the wife of Ferdinand II. Catherine's support for De institutione and the association of its translations with a royal household, printer, or event became an important feature of its production and longevity. This book restores women to the history of De institutione and recovers a cultural understanding of its vernacular editions in England and Spain, especially with regard to queenship and public authority.

An essential resource for women navigating their own reproductive healthcare and making decisions as active participants with fully informed consent

Women are staging a reproductive rebellion. For decades, public health has organised reproduction around a simple premise: women should prevent pregnancy with effective contraception unless deemed "fit" for motherhood - and treat abortion as exceptional failure. That settlement is now unravelling. Pill use is declining sharply; abortion rates are at record highs. TikTok misinformation, inadequate sex-ed and overstretched contraceptive services are widely blamed.

This book argues that diagnosis is wrong.

As sexual norms and relationships shift and technology transforms reproductive timelines - allowing pregnancy to be detected days before a missed period and ended safely at home - women's tolerance for the Pill's side effects, and for being the default managers of sexual risk is diminishing. This book explores why the revolt began - and what a revolution might look like

Becoming Sarah Forbes Bonetta tells the extraordinary life story of a girl born Aina in Oke-Odan, captured during a Dahomey raid, and presented to a British naval officer in 1850. Renamed Sarah Forbes Bonetta, she apprenticed with Queen Victoria, educated by missionaries, and later married into Lagos's elite Saro community.

Drawing on an unusually rich body of evidence, including letters, a travel diary, portraits, newspapers, missionary reports, and royal archives, this book reconstructs a transatlantic life across West Africa and Britain. It reveals how her image as an "African Princess" was fashioned by the press and embedded in imperial mythologies, even as her own writings show her balancing duty, family, and faith. Thematically organized, the book explores her shifting identities through the lenses of race, gender, and empire. It situates her within broader histories of slavery, abolition, missionary education, and colonialism, while also confronting archival silences that obscured her voice.

Ultimately, Becoming Sarah Forbes Bonetta offers both a vivid study and a critical intervention in Atlantic history. It restores this Yoruba woman as an active historical subject who navigated profound cultural dislocation and constraint, while leaving behind an archive that made her one of the most visible African women of the Victorian world.

The overlooked story of non-combatant women who risked and bizarrely relished dangerous seas during the Second World War

In wartime, women and children are supposed to be kept out of danger zones. But during the Second World War, thousands of civilians voyaged in one of the most significant waterborne mobilisations in history. Military personnel and merchant seafarers were sailing to defeat the enemy and transport essential supplies; by contrast, women took to the seas, impelled by love, professional ambition, and adventurousness. They braved bombs and torpedoes with prams and swimsuits.

Jo Stanley reveals the other side of war at sea by unearthing the voyage stories of entertainers, refugees, escorts, military dependents, and missionaries. Sallying forth to new lands, or fleeing to safe havens, some were pregnant, faking courage, or having fun ashore when they could. Against the wishes of admirals and ship's captains, unwelcome women negotiated realms of masculine bellicosity, as well as hyper-protective chivalry. Thousands created domestic niches on war vessels and explored a culture that had previously excluded civilian femininity.

Jo Stanley retells the story of wartime women at sea, and shows how they shaped the maritime world.

This book brings together contributions from female authors on feminicide and violence against women. Steilneset Memorial in Finnmark, Norway was built by Norwegian Scenic Routes to commemorate the victims of the Finnmark witchcraft trials in the seventeenth century. The memorial was opened in 2011, and is based on three components: art, architecture, and history. The artist is Louise Bourgeois, who created an art installation. The architect is Peter Zumthor, who designed the memorial's two buildings. The historian is Liv Helene Willumsen, who wrote one commemoratory text for each of the victims. The majority were women: of the 91 persons who were executed, 77 were women and only 14 were men. This book therefore uses Steilneset Memorial as a starting point to explore contemporary feminicide and violence against women, as the misogyny which was fundamental to the persecution of alleged witches in the 1600s is still seen today throughout the world.

Across many jurisdictions in the Global North, lack of credibility is the primary basis for rejecting sexual orientation, gender identity/expression and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) asylum applications. This edited collection examines how disbelief poses one of the most complex challenges for queer asylum seekers worldwide.

The contributions in this book highlight how assessments in various asylum systems in the Global North are based on stereotypical, feeling-centric and western-centric models, that fail to reflect the complexities of sexual and gender diversity, often perpetuating unlawful bias and leading to unjust decisions. Bringing together theory and practice, the collection explores these issues across diverse geographical contexts, employing a multidisciplinary approach.

Crucially, the collection offers a variety of critical and empirical interventions, advocating for a fairer and more inclusive asylum system and adherence to human rights and refugee law.

This book provides a social anthropological analysis of how same-sex couples navigate family founding, family disassembling and post-divorce parenting. Offering a collection of 20 personal accounts of lesbian and gay individuals describing how they partnered, became parents-through adoption, gamete donation, gestational surrogacy or co-parenthood-and eventually disassembled their families, the book explores how same-sex couples, in collaboration with relatives, friends, policymakers, and judges, form and transform their parenting while negotiating custody arrangements. Investigating how genetics, law and perpetuity emerge as the central pillars of post-separation same-sex parenting, chapters elucidate foundational issues that span a wide variety of families' dynamics. The book will be of interest to researchers in gender studies, politics and gender, family studies, family law, and social policy as well as to interested lay readers.

The governance of queer migration and asylum in Europe has been shaped by colonial legacies of racial, sexual, and gendered othering. Central to these legacies is the demand - reproduced in humanitarianism and beyond - that queer migrants render their private lives visible to receive hospitality, recognition or care.

Engaging an unruly archive of film, documentary, photography and performance art, this book explores narratives that refuse or complicate this demand for visibility. Arguing that listening to hauntings and other absences can reveal novel insights into the politics of visibility, the book contributes to debates across border studies, queer theory and postcolonial studies.

This book was authored by Horacio N. Roque Ramirez and shepherded through to publication by Ralph Armbruster-Sandoval and Eddy Francisco Alvarez Jr. following Horacio's passing with the blessing of sister, Nubia Roque. It represents the culmination of a decade's worth of oral history and archival research, an ethnographic historical study of the formation and partial destruction of queer Latina and Latino community life in San Francisco, from the 1960s to the 1990s. The book traces the lives and memories of sixty narrators as they worked to build what Latina/o/x scholars have referred to as cultural citizenship but also informed by writing on sexual citizenship and the body. Bridging oral history, LGBT history, and Latinx history, the book looks at how the sexuality of migration-through the lives of queer border crossers-and informs what is assumed to be a national heterosexual U.S. history of the largest growing racial ethnic 'minority' in the country.
