Book Synopsis No Girls in the Clubhouse by : Marilyn Cohen
Download or read book No Girls in the Clubhouse written by Marilyn Cohen and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-04-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though teenaged girl Jackie Mitchell once struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, women are still striking out on the hardball diamond. This book builds on recently published histories of women as amateur and professional players, umpires, sports commentators and fans to analyze the cultural and historical contexts for excluding females from America’s pastime. Drawing on anthropological and feminist perspectives, the book examines the ways that constructions of women’s bodies and normative social roles have pushed them toward softball instead of baseball. Sportswriter accounts, Title IX sex-discrimination suits, and interviews with players explore the obstacles and the social isolation of females who join all-male baseball teams, while also discussing policies that inhibit the practice.
Book Synopsis Unlocking the Clubhouse by : Jane Margolis
Download or read book Unlocking the Clubhouse written by Jane Margolis and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-02-28 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding and overcoming the gender gap in computer science education. The information technology revolution is transforming almost every aspect of society, but girls and women are largely out of the loop. Although women surf the Web in equal numbers to men and make a majority of online purchases, few are involved in the design and creation of new technology. It is mostly men whose perspectives and priorities inform the development of computing innovations and who reap the lion's share of the financial rewards. As only a small fraction of high school and college computer science students are female, the field is likely to remain a "male clubhouse," absent major changes. In Unlocking the Clubhouse, social scientist Jane Margolis and computer scientist and educator Allan Fisher examine the many influences contributing to the gender gap in computing. The book is based on interviews with more than 100 computer science students of both sexes from Carnegie Mellon University, a major center of computer science research, over a period of four years, as well as classroom observations and conversations with hundreds of college and high school faculty. The interviews capture the dynamic details of the female computing experience, from the family computer kept in a brother's bedroom to women's feelings of alienation in college computing classes. The authors investigate the familial, educational, and institutional origins of the computing gender gap. They also describe educational reforms that have made a dramatic difference at Carnegie Mellon—where the percentage of women entering the School of Computer Science rose from 7% in 1995 to 42% in 2000—and at high schools around the country.
Book Synopsis Secrets from Inside the Clubhouse by : Ron Stout
Download or read book Secrets from Inside the Clubhouse written by Ron Stout and published by Brown Books. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's an unwritten but well understood code among men when sharing what they REALLY think about women. Every guy knows about it. It's a fraternal affiliation, a support group of sorts, a virtual clubhouse, where no one is allowed inside without a penis and a pair of testicles. Following three years of research and three decades of professional experience, Ron Stout deftly reveals thirty coveted secrets men think about, might tell each other, but would never tell women. One hundred guys, among more than five hundred interviewed, share how they feel about women in the bedroom, having women as co-workers or bosses, and having wives or girlfriends who make more money than they do. They get down and dirty about dating, marriage, girls competing in sports, opening doors for women, who should pay the check at dinner, and even about how to shake hands! This is the one book that provides women the opportunity to sneak in the back door to hear what men are saying about them.

Book Synopsis Girls and Their Comics by : Jacqueline Danziger-Russell
Download or read book Girls and Their Comics written by Jacqueline Danziger-Russell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America, comics and comic books have often been associated with adolescent male fantasy--muscle-bound superheroes and scantily clad women. Nonetheless, comics have also been read and enjoyed by girls. While there have been many strong representations of women throughout their history, the comics of today have evolved and matured, becoming a potent medium in which to explore the female experience, particularly that of girlhood and adolescence. In Girls and Their Comics: Finding a Female Voice in Comic Book Narrative, Jacqueline Danziger-Russell contends that comics have a unique place in the representation of female characters. She discusses the overall history of the comic book, paying special attention to girls' comics, showing how such works relate to a female point of view. While examining the concept of visual literacy, Danziger-Russell asserts that comics are an excellent space in which the marginalized voices of girls may be expressed. This volume also includes a chapter on manga (Japanese comics), which explains the genesis of girls' comics in Japan and their popularity with girls in the United States. Including interviews with librarians, comic creators, and girls who read comics and manga, Girls and Their Comics is an important examination of the growing interest in comic books among young females and will appeal to a wide audience, including literary theorists, teachers, librarians, popular culture and women's studies scholars, and comic book historians.

Book Synopsis Baseball Meets the Law by : Ed Edmonds
Download or read book Baseball Meets the Law written by Ed Edmonds and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball and law have intersected since the primordial days. In 1791, a Pittsfield, Massachusetts, ordinance prohibited ball playing near the town’s meeting house. Ball games on Sundays were barred by a Pennsylvania statute in 1794. In 2015, a federal court held that baseball’s exemption from antitrust laws applied to franchise relocations. Another court overturned the conviction of Barry Bonds for obstruction of justice. A third denied a request by rooftop entrepreneurs to enjoin the construction of a massive video screen at Wrigley Field. This exhaustive chronology traces the effects the law has had on the national pastime, both pro and con, on and off the field, from the use of copyright to protect not only equipment but also “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” to frequent litigation between players and owners over contracts and the reserve clause. The stories of lawyers like Kenesaw Mountain Landis and Branch Rickey are entertainingly instructive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Per the author, "! will outline a clearly delineated step-by-step process of how to progress through the seven stages of the SOURCES Framework for teaching with sources, provide anecdotal comments, examples, and explicit scaffolding, such as sources analysis sheets for various types of primary and secondary sources, flowcharts, and other resources to allow students to succeed throughout the SOURCES inquiry framework." Significantly, Waring demonstrates how this work can become integrated in other disciplinary areas, such as mathematics, science, and the arts. The intention is to provide a grounded means for conducting higher-order reasoning and inquiry"--
