Book Synopsis Feminist Groupwork by : Sandra Butler
Download or read book Feminist Groupwork written by Sandra Butler and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1991-07-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist Groupwork explores the purposes, practice and effectiveness of groupwork with women, drawing upon the authors' own involvement in setting up and running community-based women's groups. The book offers clear accounts of the structured content of group sessions and the definitions and measurements of change developed by participants. It makes a convincing case for adopting a feminist approach with women who are isolated in their own communities and who bear the brunt of socio-political disadvantage. Central to the book is the focus on women's understandings of themselves and their experiences, and how groupwork can lead to potentially liberating interpretations with profound consequences for participants' lives. Women are encouraged to recognize their resilience, survival skills and strengths. Feminist Groupwork was awarded a 1992 Distinguished Publication Award by the Association for Women in Psychology, USA.
Book Synopsis Feminist Theory Based Girls' Group by : Deanna Conklin
Download or read book Feminist Theory Based Girls' Group written by Deanna Conklin and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study examined the impact of a 10-week psychoeducational group on early adolescent girls' self-perceptions. The group was based on self-in-relation feminist theory which holds that early adolescent girls suffer from a vulnerability to cultural messages. Therefore, the group was designed to raise awareness of outside influences and to promote self-examination of beliefs in a group context. The literature on self-concept/self-esteem suggests that this increased awareness influences self-perception (Campbell & Lavallee, 1993; Goleman, 1995).

Download or read book Lean In written by Sheryl Sandberg and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A landmark manifesto" (The New York Times) that's a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full potential. In her famed TED talk, Sheryl Sandberg described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than eleven million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto. Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can. Sandberg, COO of Meta (previously called Facebook) from 2008-2022, provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career. She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home.
Download or read book Feminist Theory written by bell hooks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center was first published in 1984, it was welcomed and praised by feminist thinkers who wanted a new vision. Even so, individual readers frequently found the theory "unsettling" or "provocative." Today, the blueprint for feminist movement presented in the book remains as provocative and relevant as ever. Written in hooks's characteristic direct style, Feminist Theory embodies the hope that feminists can find a common language to spread the word and create a mass, global feminist movement.

Book Synopsis Throwing Like a Girl and Other Essays in Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory by : Iris Marion Young
Download or read book Throwing Like a Girl and Other Essays in Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory written by Iris Marion Young and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist social theory and female body experience are the twin themes of Iris Marion Young's twelve outstanding essays written over the past decade and brought together here. Her contributions to social theory raise critical questions about women and citizenship, the relations of capitalism and women's oppression, and the differences between a feminist theory that emphasizes women's difference and one that assumes a gender-neutral humanity. Loosely following a phenomenological method of description, Young's essays on female embodiment discuss female movement, pregnancy, clothing, and the breasted body. In an introduction that situates her work in the context of shifts in feminist theory and politics over the past decade, Young emphasizes the rootedness of her theorizing in a dedicated and seasoned political activism.
Download or read book Feminism, Inc. written by E. Zaslow and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-11-09 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on extensive research with a diverse group of seventy teen girls, Zaslow offers a critical account of the girl power moment in which feminism and femininity are shrink-wrapped together in one market-friendly package. With a focus on pop-music and television, Zaslow skillfully explores the negotiative processes of teen girls as they make sense of girl power's new cultural narratives of femininity as well as its failure to offer strategies for real social change. Written in highly accessible language, this book charts new territory as it offers a rich account of the ways in which teen girls understand style, sexuality, motherhood, and feminism in girl power media culture, and how their desires, social experiences, and imaginings of the future are shaped in their relationship with a neoliberal girl power discourse.
Book Synopsis Feminist Theories and Social Work by : Christine Flynn Saulnier
Download or read book Feminist Theories and Social Work written by Christine Flynn Saulnier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable guidebook accomplishes what many others on feminist theory do not. It reviews both the theories and the applications of the field. Too frequently, books and articles tend to focus on one or two ways for practicing feminism, when, in reality, different problems, different groups of women, and different goals may require a different theory for guiding objectiveness, strategies, and work style. Using the wrong theory for a particular group or problem may backfire, causing unexpected outcomes. This book circumvents such unforeseen results. Feminist Theories and Social Work reviews the most important theories of today, evaluates the contributions and limitations of each branch, and for each theory, provides application examples at several levels of intervention.

Download or read book Material Girls written by Kathleen Stock and published by Fleet. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A clear, concise, easy-to-read account of the issues between sex, gender and feminism . . . an important book' Evening Standard 'A call for cool heads at a time of great heat and a vital reminder that revolutions don't always end well' Sunday Times Material Girls is a timely and trenchant critique of the influential theory that we all have an inner feeling known as a gender identity, and that this feeling is more socially significant than our biological sex. Professor Kathleen Stock surveys the philosophical ideas that led to this point, and closely interrogates each one, from De Beauvoir's statement that, 'One is not born, but rather becomes a woman' (an assertion she contends has been misinterpreted and repurposed), to Judith Butler's claim that language creates biological reality, rather than describing it. She looks at biological sex in a range of important contexts, including women-only spaces and resources, healthcare, epidemiology, political organization and data collection. Material Girls makes a clear, humane and feminist case for our retaining the ability to discuss reality, and concludes with a positive vision for the future, in which trans rights activists and feminists can collaborate to achieve some of their political aims.

Secondary data collected by a residential therapeutic treatment program, that treats adolescent females with a mental health diagnosis was given to researcher for analysis. The Making Decisions Empowerment (Rogers, Chamberlin, Ellison & Crean, 1997) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem (Rosenberg, 1979) scales were administered pre and post participation in the feminist based empowerment focused group intervention. Another group of residents who did not participate in the intervention group were designated the comparison group and scores were compared with the experimental group. The subjects from both the groups continued to receive other therapeutic treatments such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy psychoeducational groups, individual therapy, and adjunctive therapies. Results from the experimental group data indicates a positive Pearson correlation of 0.829 between the pre and post intervention Making Decisions Empowerment and Rosenberg Self-Esteem scales scores, and a mean gain of 1.09 on the Making Decisions Empowerment scale and mean gain of 1.27 on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale from pre to post intervention. From pre to post intervention the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale scores indicate a mean gain increase of 0.91 in the experimental group. Statistical significance could not be established due to sample size and the data suffers other threats to its internal validity, such as trauma history, maturation, client drop out from program and testing effects. The researcher recommends study replication with larger sample and with an extended experimental period.
