Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eleanor Roosevelt never wanted her husband to run for president. When he won, she . . . went on a national tour to crusade on behalf of women. She wrote a regular newspaper column. She became a champion of women's rights and of civil rights. And she decided to write a book." -- Jill Lepore, from the Introduction "Women, whether subtly or vociferously, have always been a tremendous power in the destiny of the world," Eleanor Roosevelt wrote in It's Up to the Women, her book of advice to women of all ages on every aspect of life. Written at the height of the Great Depression, she called on women particularly to do their part -- cutting costs where needed, spending reasonably, and taking personal responsibility for keeping the economy going. Whether it's the recommendation that working women take time for themselves in order to fully enjoy time spent with their families, recipes for cheap but wholesome home-cooked meals, or America's obligation to women as they take a leading role in the new social order, many of the opinions expressed here are as fresh as if they were written today.

This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom HouseOs innovative publication WomenOs Rights in the Middle East and North Africa: Progress Amid Resistance analyzes the status of women in the region, with a special focus on the gains and setbacks for womenOs rights since the first edition was released in 2005. The study presents a comparative evaluation of conditions for women in 17 countries and one territory: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine (Palestinian Authority and Israeli-Occupied Territories), Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. The publication identifies the causes and consequences of gender inequality in the Middle East, and provides concrete recommendations for national and international policymakers and implementers. Freedom House is an independent nongovernmental organization that supports democratic change, monitors freedom, and advocates for democracy and human rights. The project has been embraced as a resource not only by international players like the United Nations and the World Bank, but also by regional womenOs rights organizations, individual activists, scholars, and governments worldwide. WomenOs rights in each country are assessed in five key areas: (1) Nondiscrimination and Access to Justice; (2) Autonomy, Security, and Freedom of the Person; (3) Economic Rights and Equal Opportunity; (4) Political Rights and Civic Voice; and (5) Social and Cultural Rights. The methodology is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the study results are presented through a set of numerical scores and analytical narrative reports.

Download or read book Critical Reflections and Politics on Advancing Women in the Academy written by Moeke-Pickering, Taima and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-04-17 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women in the Academy are raising issues of pay parity, equal representation on committees, increased leadership positions, stories of resilience, and mentorship espousing changes at all levels including teaching, research, and administration. These strategies demand interrogation, and larger questions are being asked about the place of women empowerment worldviews in the dominant intellectual traditions of the Academy. Further, the trend to make changes requires an exploration of new transformational approaches that draw on critical theory to resist discrimination, sexism, and racism and support resistance and sustainable empowerment strategies. Critical Reflections and Politics on Advancing Women in the Academy is a critical scholarly publication that seeks to make the Academy responsive and inclusive for women advancement and sustainable empowerment strategies by broadening the understanding of why women in the Academy are overlooked in leadership positions, why there is a pay parity deficit, and what is being done to change the situation. Featuring a wide range of topics such as mentorship, curriculum design, and equality, this book is ideal for policymakers, academicians, deans, provosts, chancellors, administrators, researchers, and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women, Warfare and Representation considers the various ways the American servicewoman has been represented throughout the 20th century and how those representations impact the roles she is permitted to inhabit. While women have a relatively short history in the American military, the last century shows an evolution of women's direct participation in war despite the need to overcome societal sex-role expectations. The primary focus is on the American case, but Emerald Archer also introduces a comparative element, showing how women's integration in the military differs in other countries, including Great Britain, Canada and Israel. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the book draws on military history, theory and social psychology to offer a more complete and integrated history of women in the military and their representation in society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commonwealth Secretariat has been a pioneer in promoting women’s rights and gender equality since the 1976–85 UN Decade for Women, and of gender mainstreaming since the UN 4th World Conference on Women, to which our 1995 Plan of Action on Gender and Development was a Commonwealth contribution. This publication brings together case studies prepared in connection with the end-of-term review of the 2005–15 Commonwealth Plan of Action for Gender Equality. The case studies are based on submissions and interviews with government representatives, gender specialists and other stakeholders, including civil society organisations, from 20 countries representing all regions of the Commonwealth. The examples were selected to demonstrate a range of strategies that can be employed to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment. Together they help to show what perpetuates gender inequality and offer approaches that can be adopted to help end unjust discrimination.

Download or read book The Logics of Gender Justice written by Mala Htun and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When and why do governments promote women's rights? Through comparative analysis of state action in seventy countries from 1975 to 2005, this book shows how different women's rights issues involve different histories, trigger different conflicts, and activate different sets of protagonists. Change on violence against women and workplace equality involves a logic of status politics: feminist movements leverage international norms to contest women's subordination. Family law, abortion, and contraception, which challenge the historical claim of religious groups to regulate kinship and reproduction, conform to a logic of doctrinal politics, which turns on relations between religious groups and the state. Publicly-paid parental leave and child care follow a logic of class politics, in which the strength of Left parties and overall economic conditions are more salient. The book reveals the multiple and complex pathways to gender justice, illuminating the opportunities and obstacles to social change for policymakers, advocates, and others seeking to advance women's rights.

Book excerpt: Description of the book "Empower: The Global Journey of Women's Rights" is a comprehensive exploration of the fight for gender equality, chronicling the milestones, challenges, and triumphs of the women's rights movement across the world. This compelling book delves into the historical roots of women's advocacy, beginning with the pioneering efforts of early feminists like Mary Wollstonecraft and suffragists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth. It traces the global struggle for women's suffrage, highlighting the significant victories in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, and examines the transformative impact of securing the right to vote. As the narrative progresses into the 20th century, the book examines the evolution of feminism, including the pivotal second-wave movement, with key events like the publication of "The Feminine Mystique" and the formation of NOW. It also profiles influential leaders like Gloria Steinem, whose efforts have been instrumental in advancing women's rights. The book provides an in-depth analysis of women's roles in the workforce, addressing historical barriers such as gender discrimination and pay inequality, and celebrating the progress made through legislation and increased female representation in leadership roles. It further explores the critical role of education in empowering women, the ongoing fight for reproductive rights, and the persistent issue of violence against women. "Empower" also shines a spotlight on the increasing presence of women in politics, from trailblazers like Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher to contemporary leaders like Angela Merkel and Jacinda Ardern. The book introduces the concept of intersectionality, emphasizing the need for an inclusive feminism that considers race, class, sexuality, and other intersecting factors. Recognizing the importance of allyship, the book discusses the role of men in advancing women's rights and the crucial partnership needed to achieve gender equality. It also examines the portrayal of women in media, their contributions to science and technology, and the impact of economic empowerment initiatives like microfinance. Global perspectives are explored to understand the varied status of women's rights around the world, and the book highlights the vital role women play in environmental activism and sustainability. Significant legal milestones, the influence of NGOs and grassroots movements, and personal stories of empowerment from diverse backgrounds illustrate the profound impact of women's advocacy. Concluding with a call to action, "Empower" encourages readers to get involved in the ongoing fight for women's rights, offering practical steps to support gender equality. The epilogue reflects on the progress made and underscores the collective responsibility to ensure that future generations inherit a world where gender equality is a reality. "Empower: The Global Journey of Women's Rights" is not just a chronicle of the past but a roadmap for the future, inspiring readers to continue the pursuit of a just and equitable world for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world, the pursuit of gender equality and the recognition of women's rights remain critical issues across societies. The struggle for gender equality extends beyond individual rights and reaches deep into the very fabric of citizenship. This book, titled "Citizenship Unveiled: Challenging Gender Inequality and Expanding Women's Rights," delves into the intricate relationship between gender inequality, women's rights, and the notion of citizenship. By exploring this intersection, the book aims to shed light on the barriers that women face in exercising their full rights and responsibilities as citizens. It seeks to uncover the systemic challenges that hinder gender equality and offer insights into fostering a more inclusive and equitable society. One of the primary objectives of this book is to highlight the importance of examining gender inequality and women's rights within the context of citizenship. Citizenship is not merely a legal status; it embodies the rights, obligations, and privileges granted to individuals in a given society. However, throughout history, women have been marginalized and excluded from enjoying the same level of citizenship as their male counterparts. By delving into this issue, we can better understand the underlying factors that perpetuate gender inequality and work towards dismantling the barriers that impede women's full participation in society.Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Historical Perspectives on Women's Citizenship A- Exploration of the historical exclusion of women from full citizenship rights B- Examination of key milestones and movements that challenged gender inequality C- Case studies of notable women activists and their contributions to advancing women's rights Chapter 3: Legal Frameworks for Women's Rights A- Analysis of the legal frameworks and constitutional provisions pertaining to women's rights B- Discussion of landmark court cases and their impact on shaping women's citizenship C- Examination of international human rights instruments and their relevance to women's rights Chapter 4: Economic Empowerment and Women's Citizenship A- Discussion of the economic barriers faced by women and their impact on citizenship B- Exploration of policies and initiatives aimed at promoting women's economic empowerment C- Case studies of successful programs and their effects on improving women's socio-economic status Chapter 5: Political Participation and Representation of Women A- Analysis of women's political participation and representation at various levels of government B- Examination of the challenges faced by women in accessing political power C- Exploration of strategies and initiatives to promote gender equality in political leadership Chapter 6: Intersectionality and Inclusive Citizenship A- Exploration of the intersectionality of gender with other dimensions of identity and discrimination B- Examination of the unique challenges faced by marginalized women C- Discussion of the importance of an inclusive citizenship framework that addresses intersecting inequalities Conclusion
