Book Synopsis Women and Planning by : Clara H. Greed
Download or read book Women and Planning written by Clara H. Greed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning is currently a male profession, but an analysis of a century of town planning reveals this to be a new development; women have been central to the planning movement since it began. Women and Planning is the first comprehensive history and analysis of women and the planning movement, covering the philosophical, practical and policy dimensions of `planning for women'. Beyond the marginalization of women, modern, scientific planning hides a story of past links with eugenics, colonialism, artistic, utopian and religious movements and the occult. Central to the discussion is the questioning of how male planners have rewritten planning in their own image, projecting patriarchal assumptions in their creation of `urban realities'. Issues of class, sexuality, ethnicity and disability are raised by the fundamental question of `Who is being planned for?'
Book Synopsis Gender and Planning by : Susan S. Fainstein
Download or read book Gender and Planning written by Susan S. Fainstein and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To document and analyze the connection between gender and planning, the editors of this volume have assembled an interdisciplinary collection of influential essays by leading scholars. Contributors point to the ubiquitous single-family home, which prevents women from sharing tasks or pooling services. Similarly, they argue that public transportation routes are usually designed for the (male) worker's commute from home to the central city, and do not help the suburban dweller running errands. In addition to these practical considerations, many contributors offer theoretical perspectives on issues such as planning discourse and the construction of concepts of rationality.
Book Synopsis Gender, Planning, and the Policy Process by : Jo Little
Download or read book Gender, Planning, and the Policy Process written by Jo Little and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning has a central essential legitimacy in addressing social goals. Despite the ideal position of planning is being able to initiate, encourage & strengthen the links between the theory & practice of feminism in its relationship with gender,planning can act against women's interests & thus reinforce the unequal distribution of powers between the sexes, not only within the planning discipline but also in the assumptions & practice in our use of the built environment. This book provides a feminist interpretation of contemporary urban planning. It outlines the gender inequalities which characterize many areas of mainstream planning as well as the assumptions & practices surrounding our use of the built environment. The book incorporates detailed theoretical discussion on the underlying basis & form of women's subordination & applies this discussion to the development & implementation of planning policies. Attention focuses on both the establishment & operation of formal 'women's initiatives' within local government & on the promotion of specific policies aimed at meeitng women's needs within key areas of planning. - Habitat International, December 1994

Book Synopsis Women's Bodies, Women's Worries by : Tine Gammeltoft
Download or read book Women's Bodies, Women's Worries written by Tine Gammeltoft and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first fully-fledged ethnography on health-related issues to come out of contemporary Vietnam, Women's Bodies, Women's Worries is a study of women's lives in a rural commune in Vietnam's Red River delta. Starting as an examination of the impact of Vietnam's ambitious family planning policy on the health and lives of rural women, the study explores historical and contemporary socio-cultural forces which influence the lives of Vietnamese women. What begins as an investigation of contraceptive side effects becomes an inquiry into the daily lives of rural women, an examination of the moral ideologies by which women's lives are circumscribed, and an exploration of the ways women themselves manage and negotiate the moral demands and social relations which constitute daily lives. In addition, the book provides a sympathetic account of the everyday lives and concerns of rural women while also including theoretical considerations of the social grounding of bodily experience, the cultural meanings of health and illness, and the everyday politics of emotional expression.

Book Synopsis Pinklined Planning and the Need to Plan for Women by : Amanda Carol Micklow
Download or read book Pinklined Planning and the Need to Plan for Women written by Amanda Carol Micklow and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional forms of land use pinkline communities, constrain mobility, limit employment opportunities, reinforce outdated family structures as the norm, and provide inadequate support systems for women (Fainstein & Servon, 2005). Yet, little has been done in practice to address these concerns, and gender issues are still largely marginalized to the periphery of planning (Leavitt, 2003). However, aging-related work in planning has gained momentum in recent years (Warner et al., 2016), and there are similarities between the needs of an aging population and the needs of women around housing, transportation, and services.This dissertation has three goals. Theoretically, this dissertation brings together multiple lines of literature to create a theory of pinklining, the division of space, and exclusion of women and women's needs from mainstream planning. Empirically, this project operationalizes feminist criticisms of traditional zoning regulations, transportation planning, and public participation processes by creating and analyzing the 2014 Women and Aging survey. Practically, this project identifies potential planning interventions that can address the needs of women. This dissertation uses four regression models to test for gender responsive planning in a sample of U.S. communities. Two models evaluate the broad factors contributing to a community engaging in either gender responsive land use or gender responsive transportation planning. Two additional models disaggregate aging from gender to determine which factors are the strongest drivers of gender responsive planning. Data for this dissertation is primarily from the 2014 Women and Aging survey, an online survey conducted in collaboration with the American Planning Association's Planning and Women Division. Results from the regression models reveal that traditional land use regulations are relatively stuck in place and unable to address issues of gender adequately at the time of the survey. The models also demonstrate that there is potential for gender issues to move forward in discussion and resolution with transportation planning. Furthermore, leveraging aging work is an important tool to continue the conversation about gender issues in land use and transportation planning. With planners already advancing the aging population's needs, they should also advocate planning for women to create more equitable, inclusive, and livable communities for all.

Book Synopsis The Trials of Nina McCall by : Scott W. Stern
Download or read book The Trials of Nina McCall written by Scott W. Stern and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nearly forgotten story of the fight against the American Plan, a government program designed to regulate women’s bodies and sexuality “A consistently surprising page-turner . . . a brilliant study of the way social anxieties have historically congealed in state control over women’s bodies and behavior.” —New York Times Book Review Nina McCall was one of many women unfairly imprisoned by the United States government throughout the twentieth century. Tens, probably hundreds, of thousands of women and girls were locked up—usually without due process—simply because officials suspected these women were prostitutes, carrying STIs, or just “promiscuous.” This discriminatory program, dubbed the “American Plan,” lasted from the 1910s into the 1950s, implicating a number of luminaries, including Eleanor Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller Jr., Earl Warren, and even Eliot Ness, while laying the foundation for the modern system of women’s prisons. In some places, vestiges of the Plan lingered into the 1960s and 1970s, and the laws that undergirded it remain on the books to this day. Nina McCall’s story provides crucial insight into the lives of countless other women incarcerated under the American Plan. Stern demonstrates the pain and shame felt by these women and details the multitude of mortifications they endured, both during and after their internment. Yet thousands of incarcerated women rioted, fought back against their oppressors, or burned their detention facilities to the ground; they jumped out of windows or leapt from moving trains or scaled barbed-wire fences in order to escape. And, as Nina McCall did, they sued their captors. In an age of renewed activism surrounding harassment, health care, prisons, women’s rights, and the power of the state, this virtually lost chapter of our history is vital reading.

Book excerpt: Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back and de-biasing minds has proven to be difficult and expensive. Behavioral design offers a new solution. Iris Bohnet shows that by de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts—often at low cost and high speed.
