Book Synopsis The Smart Wife by : Yolande Strengers
Download or read book The Smart Wife written by Yolande Strengers and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life and times of the Smart Wife--feminized digital assistants who are friendly and sometimes flirty, occasionally glitchy but perpetually available. Meet the Smart Wife--at your service, an eclectic collection of feminized AI, robotic, and smart devices. This digital assistant is friendly and sometimes flirty, docile and efficient, occasionally glitchy but perpetually available. She might go by Siri, or Alexa, or inhabit Google Home. She can keep us company, order groceries, vacuum the floor, turn out the lights. A Japanese digital voice assistant--a virtual anime hologram named Hikari Azuma--sends her "master" helpful messages during the day; an American sexbot named Roxxxy takes on other kinds of household chores. In The Smart Wife, Yolande Strengers and Jenny Kennedy examine the emergence of digital devices that carry out "wifework"--domestic responsibilities that have traditionally fallen to (human) wives. They show that the principal prototype for these virtual helpers--designed in male-dominated industries--is the 1950s housewife: white, middle class, heteronormative, and nurturing, with a spick-and-span home. It's time, they say, to give the Smart Wife a reboot. What's wrong with preferring domestic assistants with feminine personalities? We like our assistants to conform to gender stereotypes--so what? For one thing, Strengers and Kennedy remind us, the design of gendered devices re-inscribes those outdated and unfounded stereotypes. Advanced technology is taking us backwards on gender equity. Strengers and Kennedy offer a Smart Wife "manifesta," proposing a rebooted Smart Wife that would promote a revaluing of femininity in society in all her glorious diversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on communications rescued from the shredders in the last days of Rhodesia, enlivened by photographs and memories both her own and those of her colleagues Maia Chenaux-Repond tells the story of her work as the Provincial Community Developpment Officer (Women) for Mashonaland and South in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the 1970s. There are no records whatsoever in the National Archives of Zimbabwe about the Community Development Section (Women), even though it was active in all the provinces. In the absence of other documentary sources, and all other provincial officers long having emigrated or died, this account of her work fills a significant gap in the pre-independence history of Zimbabwe. he crucial focus of the Womens Section on improving the lives and skills of women in the rural areas became progressively more difficult when the civil war intensified from the early 1970 as rural people and the development workers themselves were moved into Protected Villages, and as the Ministry became increasingly militarized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on communications ‘rescued’ from the shredders in the last days of Rhodesia, enlivened by photographs and memories - both her own and those of her colleagues - Maia Chenaux-Repond tells the story of her work as the Provincial Community Development Officer (Women) for Mashonaland and South in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the 1970s. There are no records whatsoever in the National Archives of Zimbabwe about the Community Development Section (Women), even though it was active in all the provinces. In the absence of other documentary sources, and all other provincial officers long having emigrated or died, this account of her work fills a significant gap in the pre-independence history of Zimbabwe. The crucial focus of the Women’s Section on improving the lives and skills of women in the rural areas became progressively more difficult when the civil war intensified from the early 1970 as rural people - and the development workers themselves - were moved into ‘Protected Villages’, and as the Ministry became increasingly militarized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ekteskapslover utgjør en viktig del av et samfunns familiepolitikk. Denne rapporten setter søkelys på regulering av ekteskap i Norden i det 20. århundre, med spesiell vekt på ekteskapslov-reformene mellom 1909 og 1929. Likestillingen i ekteskapet kom mye tidligere i Norden enn ellers i Europa, og en av rapportens hovedsikte er å undersøke om man kan snakke om en spesifikk nordisk ekteskapsmodell. Engelsk, svensk og dansk tekst.
