Download or read book Gender Warp written by Richard Mcadams and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will life be like in the U.S. by 2034 if current trends in gender relations and gender politics continue? Women especially will be severely disadvantaged by verifiable trends in marriage, divorce, family life, and the military. Everyday life, and gender relations, in 2034 are viewed through the eyes of three couples at different stages of life. Men have been emasculated and women must carry the burden for domestic life, work life, and ever-higher taxes. The roles of the two genders have become so warped that everything from the family to the military has become dysfunctional. A better way of life in a fictional New Zealand is compared to a U.S. society that is becoming increasingly unsatisfying to individual citizens, particularly women. The book relates how President Midge Houston and a few trusted lieutenants struggle to change society, against great odds, to the benefit of both men and women.

This book was released on 1995-09-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating history of…[a craft] that preceded and made possible civilization itself." —New York Times Book Review New discoveries about the textile arts reveal women's unexpectedly influential role in ancient societies. Twenty thousand years ago, women were making and wearing the first clothing created from spun fibers. In fact, right up to the Industrial Revolution the fiber arts were an enormous economic force, belonging primarily to women. Despite the great toil required in making cloth and clothing, most books on ancient history and economics have no information on them. Much of this gap results from the extreme perishability of what women produced, but it seems clear that until now descriptions of prehistoric and early historic cultures have omitted virtually half the picture. Elizabeth Wayland Barber has drawn from data gathered by the most sophisticated new archaeological methods—methods she herself helped to fashion. In a "brilliantly original book" (Katha Pollitt, Washington Post Book World), she argues that women were a powerful economic force in the ancient world, with their own industry: fabric.

Book Synopsis The Representations of Women in the Middle Kingdom Tombs of Officials by : Ľubica Hudáková
Download or read book The Representations of Women in the Middle Kingdom Tombs of Officials written by Ľubica Hudáková and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Representations of Women in the Middle Kingdom Tombs of Officials Lubica Hudáková offers an in-depth analysis of female iconography in the decorative programme of Middle Kingdom non-royal tombs, highlighting changes and innovations in comparison to the Old Kingdom. Previously considered too uniform, the study represents the first systematic investigation of two-dimensional images of women and reveals their variability in space and time. Hudáková examines the roles appointed to women by analyzing how they are depicted in a variety of contexts. Taking into account their postures, gestures, garments, hairstyles, size of the body, age as well as attributes and tools used by them, along with the scene orientation, she traces diachronic and diatopic developments and regional traditions in the Middle Kingdom tomb decoration"--
Book Synopsis Aspects of Gender Identity and Craft Production in the European Migration Period by : Sue Harrington
Download or read book Aspects of Gender Identity and Craft Production in the European Migration Period written by Sue Harrington and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2008 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grave goods show that women were identified as weavers in the early Anglo-Saxon period, rather than specifically spinners, as occurs later. A key piece of weaving equipment found in migration era burials is the iron beater, shaped during this period like a sword. Spear shaped beaters appear later in the seventh century. This study is centred on a corpus of sword and spear shaped beaters not only from Anglo-Saxon England (centred on East Kent), but also from Norway, where the earliest examples are found and from Alamannia. Conclusions are drawn about the processes and social composition of textile production, including any separation of weaving and spinning, and discuss why tools associated with the women's task of weaving should be shaped as objects with masculine associations.
