Women and Legal Scholarship: A Bibliography Compiled by Paul M. George* & Susan iV!cGlamery** PREFACE This bibliography on Women and Legal Scholarship is a revised version of a bibliography originally prepared for the conference "Voices of Women: A Conference of Women in Legal Education" held April 20-21, 1990, at New York University School of Law. The Conference was sponsored by the Association of American Law Schools and the American Bar Association Commission on Women in the Profession and the ABA Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar. This compilation includes works about women in legal education and the legal profession, as well as legal scholarship on gender equality and feminist legal theory. It does not cover the much larger subject of the legal issues of women or all articles by women scholars. The bibliography is representative of its subject and is not an exhaustive list of articles and books. Works are arranged in a few broad subject categories. Because the original conference was about women in the legal profession, the section on legal education and the legal profession is first. All other sections follow alphabetically. The bibliography includes citations which were available in indices and other sources through the spring of 1991.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

    COMING MARCH 30! WOMEN’S HISTORY TRIP to Cambridge, Maryland, on the Eastern Shore, to see the Harriet Tubman Museum and the Annie Oakley House. Call 301-779-2161 by Tuesday, March 12 to reserve a seat. CALL EARLY! Limited number of seats on bus - first ones to call will get available seats. * * * * * * * MARCH IS WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH – AND HERE ARE SOME WOMEN FROM MARYLAND’s AND COTTAGE CITY’s PAST! By Commissioner Ann Marshall Young There are many amazing women in Maryland and Cottage City’s history. These are just a few, to give you an idea of some of the “greats” we can claim: Jazz singer Billie Holiday (1915 – 1959) was born Eleanora Fagan, but took her father’s surname, Holiday, and “Billie” from a silent film star. As a child she lived in poverty in East Baltimore, and later gave her first performance at Fell’s Point. In 1933 she was “discovered” in a Harlem nightclub, and soon became wildly popular, with a beautiful voice and her own, truly unique style. Her well-known song, “Strange Fruit,” described the horrors of lynchings in Jim Crow America. Through her singing, she raised consciousness about racism as well as about the beauties of African-American culture. Marine biologist and conservationist Rachel Carson (1907-1964) wrote the book Silent Spring, which, with her other writings, is credited with advancing the global environmental movement. Although opposed by chemical companies, her work led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides, and inspired a grassroots environmental movement that led to the creation of the U.S.

  • Radical Pacifism, Civil Rights, and the Journey of Reconciliation
    09-Mollin 12/2/03 3:26 PM Page 113 The Limits of Egalitarianism: Radical Pacifism, Civil Rights, and the Journey of Reconciliation Marian Mollin In April 1947, a group of young men posed for a photograph outside of civil rights attorney Spottswood Robinson’s office in Richmond, Virginia. Dressed in suits and ties, their arms held overcoats and overnight bags while their faces carried an air of eager anticipation. They seemed, from the camera’s perspective, ready to embark on an exciting adventure. Certainly, in a nation still divided by race, this visibly interracial group of black and white men would have caused people to stop and take notice. But it was the less visible motivations behind this trip that most notably set these men apart. All of the group’s key organizers and most of its members came from the emerging radical pacifist movement. Opposed to violence in all forms, many had spent much of World War II behind prison walls as conscientious objectors and resisters to war. Committed to social justice, they saw the struggle for peace and the fight for racial equality as inextricably linked. Ardent egalitarians, they tried to live according to what they called the brotherhood principle of equality and mutual respect. As pacifists and as militant activists, they believed that nonviolent action offered the best hope for achieving fundamental social change. Now, in the wake of the Second World War, these men were prepared to embark on a new political jour- ney and to become, as they inscribed in the scrapbook that chronicled their traveling adventures, “courageous” makers of history.1 Radical History Review Issue 88 (winter 2004): 113–38 Copyright 2004 by MARHO: The Radical Historians’ Organization, Inc.

  • Materialist Feminism
    9­ / MATERIALIST FEMINISM A Reader in Class, Difference, and Women's Lives Edited by Rosemary Hennessy and Chrys Ingraham ROUTLEDGE New York & London Introduction Reclaiming Anticapitalist Feminism Rosemary Hennessy and Chrys Ingraham THE NEED FOR ClASS ANALYSIS OF WOMEN'S DIFFERENT LIVES We see this reader as a timely contribution to feminist struggle for transformative social change, a struggle which is fundamentally a class war over resources, knowledge, and power. Currently the richest 20 percent of humanity garners 83 percent of global income, while the poorest 20 percent of the world's people struggles to survive on just 1 percent of the global income (Sivard 1993; World Bank 1994). During the 1990s, as capitalism triumphantly secures its global reach, anticommunist ideologies hammer home socialism's inherent failure and the Left increasingly moves into the professional middle class. many of western feminism's earlier priorities-commitment to social transformation, attention to the political economy of patriarchy, analysis of the perva­ sive social structures that link and divide women~have been obscured or actively dismissed. Various forms of feminist cultural politics that take as their starting point gender, race, class, sexuality, or coalitions among them have increasingly displaced a systemic perspective that links the battle against women's oppression to a fight against capitalism. The archive collected in Materialist Feminism: A Reader in Class, Difference, and Women's Lives is a reminder that despite this trend feminists have continued to find in historical materialism a powerful theoretical and political resource. The tradi- . tion of feminist engagement with marxism emphasizes a perspective on social life that refuses to separate the materiality of meaning, identity, the body, state, or nation from the requisite division of labor that undergirds the scramble for profits in capitalism's global system.

  • Gender at the Crossroads of Home, Family, and Business from the Early Modern Era to the Present
    INTRODUCTION WHAT IS WORK? Gender at the Crossroads of Home, Family, and Business from the Early Modern Era to the Present Raffaella Sarti, Anna Bellavitis, and Manuela Martini 1. What is work? A fresh perspective from the (alleged) margins What is work? The question chosen as a title for this volume is an ambi- tious one. We are obviously aware that a huge body of literature on work exists, and we certainly do not pretend we can give a defi nite answer to the question,1 which may not even be possible.2 Instead, we will use this question as a tool to interrogate history, the social sciences, and also pol- itics. Such a question prompts us in fact to adopt a critical and diversifi ed view of work and, consequently, of economic and social policies, too. On the other hand, establishing the boundaries, implications, and stakes of a new characterization of work is a crucial issue in the contemporary de- bate, and is obviously also motivated by the ongoing dramatic economic, technological, organizational, social, and cultural changes affecting the world of work. Let us start with a telling example. “Italy is a Democratic Republic, founded on work,” article 1 of the Italian Constitution, written after the Second World War and enforced in 1948, authoritatively states3: this implied and still implies a kind of overlap between enjoying citizenship and working. When the Italian Constitution was enforced, according to the Italian population censuses as many as three-quarters of adult Italian women were not working or, more precisely, were economically “inac- tive.” What did they do? About 60 percent of them were housewives: 2 Raffaella Sarti, Anna Bellavitis, and Manuela Martini they were therefore likely to actually work very hard.

  • Gertner, Hon. Nancy
    Judicial Profile MELISSA JUAREZ Hon. Nancy Gertner U.S. District Judge, District of Massachusetts FOR MOST OF the early part of the 20th century, the Lower East Side of Manhattan, located in the southeastern part of New York City, was a major immigrant hub where waves of hardworking peo- ple from all over the world came to begin their own versions of the American dream. Among the most notable of the immigrant groups to settle in this community were Eastern Europeans of the Jewish faith, who made the four miles of small, crammed buildings their first homes in the United States. When they arrived at Ellis Island, they had no money and no family roots, and they spoke little to no English. As the new generation of Jewish Ameri- cans started businesses and became more and more successful, the neighborhood flourished, creating the most recognized and vibrant Jewish neighborhood in the United States. In a small part of this tightly knit, mostly low- to middle-class neighborhood, Judge Nancy Gertner of the U.S. District Court for the Dis- trict of Massachusetts was born on May 22, 1946. she always had to struggle to overcome what she Judge Gertner lived in a tenement apartment build- perceived as antiquated gender roles.

  • Bella Abzug and the Campaign for Women's Liberation Within
    Leandra Zarnow, PhD “We Just Have to Push and Push and Push”: Bella Abzug and the Campaign for Women’s Liberation within Electoral Politics” * This paper was presented on March, 25, 2014 as part of "A Revolutionary Moment: Women's Liberation in the late 1960s and early 1970s," a conference organized by the Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Program at Boston University, March 27-29, 2014. ** Copyright 2014. Do not circulate, publish, or quote without permission of the author. After a decade stumping for unelectable male “dove” candidates, Bella Abzug threw her hat in the ring—quite literally—entering the congressional race for Manhattan’s Nineteenth District in 1970. A keen political strategist, Abzug calculated “the renaissance in the born again women’s movement” (as she put it) would provide the necessary boost to her longstanding anti- war base. What assured her congressional win, Abzug reasoned, was her ability to garner women’s “swing vote” fostered, in part, by her natural alliance with feminists. Or so it seemed. Early on, Abzug approached Susan Brownmiller, a freelance writer she knew from reform Democratic politics in Greenwich Village. As a member of the newly formed New York Radical Women, Brownmiller was well positioned to compel this and like consciousness-raising groups to come out for Abzug. “I will take the cause of women—America’s oppressed majority—to the halls of Congress,” Abzug had promised in her March announcement speech, a pledge she believed would directly appeal to all feminists. Accordingly, she was rather taken aback by Brownmiller’s cool reception. “They will not support you,” Abzug recalled Brownmiller curtly dismissing.

  • Rethinking Coalitions: Anti-Pornography Feminists, Conservatives, and Relationships Between Collaborative Adversarial Movements
    Rethinking Coalitions: Anti-Pornography Feminists, Conservatives, and Relationships between Collaborative Adversarial Movements Nancy Whittier This research was partially supported by the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences. The author thanks the following people for their comments: Martha Ackelsberg, Steven Boutcher, Kai Heidemann, Holly McCammon, Ziad Munson, Jo Reger, Marc Steinberg, Kim Voss, the anonymous reviewers for Social Problems, and editor Becky Pettit. A previous version of this paper was presented at the 2011 Annual Meetings of the American Sociological Association. Direct correspondence to Nancy Whittier, 10 Prospect St., Smith College, Northampton MA 01063. Email: [email protected]. 1 Abstract Social movements interact in a wide range of ways, yet we have only a few concepts for thinking about these interactions: coalition, spillover, and opposition. Many social movements interact with each other as neither coalition partners nor opposing movements. In this paper, I argue that we need to think more broadly and precisely about the relationships between movements and suggest a framework for conceptualizing non- coalitional interaction between movements. Although social movements scholars have not theorized such interactions, “strange bedfellows” are not uncommon. They differ from coalitions in form, dynamics, relationship to larger movements, and consequences. I first distinguish types of relationships between movements based on extent of interaction and ideological congruence and describe the relationship between collaborating, ideologically-opposed movements, which I call “collaborative adversarial relationships.” Second, I differentiate among the dimensions along which social movements may interact and outline the range of forms that collaborative adversarial relationships may take. Third, I theorize factors that influence collaborative adversarial relationships’ development over time, the effects on participants and consequences for larger movements, in contrast to coalitions.

  • Violence with Serious Psychotraumatic Consequences
    The methods of the pornography industry are identical to those of human trafficking networks Osez le Feminisme Le Monde, December 21, 2020 http://osezlefeminisme.fr/pornography-the-alibi-for-hatred-torture-and-organized-crime/ Pornography has no legally binding definition. However, this term hides a long list of violent and abusive acts which are severely punishable under criminal codes and by international conventions: torture, rape, abuse of vulnerability, pimping, human trafficking, incitement to sexist and racist hatred, sexist and racist insults… Words can be powerful, they can provide impunity for criminals. All over the world, lawsuits and trials are multiplying and survivors are speaking out. In France, in September, a preliminary investigation against the pornography site “Jacquie and Michel” for rape and pimping was opened by the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office. In October, four French pornographers, producers for “Jacquie et Michel” and Dorcel were indicted for rape, pimping and human trafficking. What is now referred to as the “porn industry”, with billions of dollars in profits worldwide (219,985 videos are viewed every minute on Pornhub), actually conceals large-scale criminal networks of pimping and human trafficking. The methods used by the porn video production industry are sophisticated and identical to those used by human trafficking networks: grooming, trust-building, submission through rape, exploitation, coercion, and reversal of guilt. It is based on the age-old and misogynistic myth of a woman as a sexual object who is eager for self-destruction. Violence with serious psychotraumatic consequences The filming of sexual acts under economic and psychological coercion, sexual assault and rape, even acts of torture and barbarism are the daily reality of the pornocriminal system.
