Sociocultural Patterns; *Womens Studies ABSTRACT Curriculum developm nt in women s health has undergone a transformation over the past 15 years based on the availability of teaching resources. Today, therange of resources for curriculum development in women's health is more intimidating than elusive. While there has been a virtual explosion of both popular and scholarly research and writing in the many areas of women's health, there has been a dearth of materials on developing curricula inthese areas. This volume is designed for use by faculty in undergraduate, graduate, and health professions and educational institutions who wish to initiate or ezpand their curriculum in women's health. The materials in this volume are largely edited versions ofpapers originally presented at three Summer Instituteson Women, Health, and Healing organized by the Women, Health and Healing Program of the University of CaliforniaSan Francisco. The primary focus of these working papers on curricUlum development in women's health studies is on the development and enhancement of curricula through the integration of social science perspectiveson women's health, through the integration of minority women's health issues, and through addressing issues at the intersection of social science and clinical concerns.

  • 13 White Woman Listen! Black Feminism and the Boundaries of Sisterhood
    13 White Woman Listen! Black Feminism and the Boundaries of Sisterhood Hazel V. Carby I'm leaving evidence. And you got to leave evidence too. And your children got to leave evidence.... They burned all the documents.... We got to burn out what they put in our minds, like you burn out a wound. Except we got to keep what we need to bear witness. That scar that's left to bear witness. We got to keep it as visible as our blood. (Jones 1975) The black women's critique of history has not only involved us in coming to terms with "absences"; we have also been outraged by the ways in which it has made us visible, when it has chosen to see us. History has constructed our sexuality and our femininity as deviating from those qualities with which white women, as the prize objects of the Western world, have been endowed. We have also been defined in less than human terms (Jordon 1969). Our continuing struggle with History began with its "discovery" of us. However, this chapter will be concerned with herstory rather than history. We wish to address questions to the feminist theories that have been developed during the last decade; a decade in which black women have been fighting, in the streets, in the schools, through the courts, inside and outside the wage relation. The significance of these struggles ought to inform the writing of the herstory of women in Britain. It is fundamental to the development of a feminist theory and practice that is meaningful for black women.

  • Susan Faludi How Shulamith Firestone Shaped Feminism The
    AMERICAN CHRONICLES DEATH OF A REVOLUTIONARY Shulamith Firestone helped to create a new society. But she couldn’t live in it. by Susan Faludi APRIL 15, 2013 Print More Share Close Reddit Linked In Email StumbleUpon hen Shulamith Firestone’s body was found Wlate last August, in her studio apartment on the fifth floor of a tenement walkup on East Tenth Street, she had been dead for some days. She was sixty­seven, and she had battled schizophrenia for decades, surviving on public assistance. There was no food in the apartment, and one theory is that Firestone starved, though no autopsy was conducted, by preference of her Orthodox Jewish family. Such a solitary demise would have been unimaginable to anyone who knew Firestone in the late nineteen­sixties, when she was at the epicenter of the radical­feminist movement, Firestone, top left, in 1970, at the beach, surrounded by some of the same women who, a reading “The Second Sex”; center left, with month after her death, gathered in St. Mark’s Gloria Steinem, in 2000; and bottom right, Church In­the­Bowery, to pay their respects. in 1997.

The WBAI radio host Fran Luck called for the Tenth Street studio to be named the Shulamith Firestone Memorial Apartment, and rented “in perpetuity” to “an older and meaningful feminist.” Kathie Sarachild, who had pioneered consciousness­raising and coined the slogan “Sisterhood Is Powerful,” in 1968, proposed convening a Shulamith Firestone Women’s Liberation Memorial Conference on What Is to Be Done.

    TRACES OF HERSTORY: REINVENTING WOMANHOOD IN THE KATE FANSLER MYSTERY SERIES BY AMANDA CROSS Emma Domínguez-Rué Universitat de Lleida [email protected] Although the American writer and Columbia professor Carolyn Gold Heilbrun (1926-2003) is best known for her best-selling mystery novels, published under the pseudonym of Amanda Cross, she also authored remarkable pieces of non-fiction in which she asserted her long-standing commitment to feminism. Taking Heilbrun’s essays in feminism and literary criticism as a basis and her 1990 novel The Players Come Again as substantiation to my argument, this paper will illustrate the ways in which her detective novels became an instrument to reach a mass audience of female readers who might not have read her theoretical work, but who were perhaps finding it difficult to reach fulfillment as women under patriarchy. My aim is to reveal the extent to which Heilbrun’s seemingly more superficial and much more commercial novels were used a catalyst that informed her feminist principles while vindicating the need to repair women’s historical invisibility. Keywords: Amanda Cross, Carolyn Heilbrun, feminism, detective fiction, female readership “As long as women are isolated one from the other, not allowed to offer other women the most personal accounts of their lives, they will not be part of any narrative of their own” (Heilbrun 1988: 46).

  • “Herstory” Challenging Gender Stereotypes in Israeli Girls’ Perfect Love Stories
    “HerStory” Challenging Gender Stereotypes in Israeli Girls’ Perfect Love Stories Shiri Reznik This study explores the love stories written by 77 Israeli girls, aged 11-12 years old, in order to examine the possible influence of the media on their romantic narratives and the gender roles embedded within them. The girls were asked to write their own perfect love story and then participated in focus groups during which they explained the stories they wrote. The stories have been analyzed with the method of discourse analysis. Although many girls chose to express their imaginary romantic world by using popular media characters, plot lines and idioms, others offered a new and even revolutionary perspective on what a perfect love story can be, and especially the gender roles it can depict. Stories about female protagonists who make the first romantic move, perform sisterhood as an act of resistance, or prefer to be an assertive non-stereotypical princess, are analyzed in light of the girls’ socioeconomic backgrounds and role models. If you had to imagine the perfect love story what would it be? This study aims to find out how tween Israeli girls perceive the concept of romantic love, what are their expectations regarding gender roles in the romantic sphere, and how do they imagine an ideal love story when given the opportunity to write their own romantic narrative. Another goal of the current study is to examine the possible influence of the media on girls’ romantic perceptions and dreams, since numerous studies have found that mediated representations of love are meaningful sources of identification, social learn- ing, and internalization of romantic narratives and behaviors among children, teens and adults as well (Bachen & Illouz, 1996; Hefner & Wilson, 2013).

  • Campaign Summary
    Profile Team Name : Baguette - The French Magic Touch Campaign name anotherstory Campaign background anotherstory is a campaign that aims to open the eyes of European citizens on women's rights history and to involve them while they feel little concerned by the cause. The strategy adopted is the "wrapping technique". The principle is to embody the history of women's rights and the cause in a package that looks like what our targets want or at least that does not look like the idea they most have of feminism. This campaign meets current wishes expressed by citizens (Ipsos Trends, 2016): - The positive. Citizens are asking for positive inspirations and they increasingly reject news and subjects causing anxiety. - The personal bubble. Individuals are looking for establish a deeper relationship with themselves by learning more about the history of their family for instance. Therefore, we are convinced that to engage citizens, they need to be positively connected to women's history through their personal story. So we ask ourselves what event concerns us individually, also unifying and most of the time positive? The birthday! The birth date is the central point of the campaign where citizens will understand that since that date, the history of women's rights became their history too and consequently they have to involve themselves for this cause. A website entitled "anotherstory.eu" is at the heart of our campaign. It uses a positive and personal tonality to talk about equality between men and women and it constitutes a new opportunity to discover another story of your birth date.

  • A Research Agenda for an Ecofeminist-Informed Ecological Economics
    sustainability Article Transcending the Learned Ignorance of Predatory Ontologies: A Research Agenda for an Ecofeminist-Informed Ecological Economics Sarah-Louise Ruder † and Sophia Rose Sanniti *,† School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † All authors contributed equally to this work. Received: 6 January 2019; Accepted: 6 March 2019; Published: 11 March 2019 Abstract: As a necessarily political act, the theorizing, debating and enacting of ecological economies offer pathways to radical socio-economic transformations that emphasize the ecological and prioritize justice. In response to a research agenda call for ecological economics, we propose and employ an ecofeminist frame to demonstrate how the logics of extractivist capitalism, which justify gender biased and anti-ecological power structures inherent in the growth paradigm, also directly inform the theoretical basis of ecological economics and its subsequent post-growth proposals. We offer pathways to reconcile these epistemological limitations through a synthesis of ecofeminist ethics and distributive justice imperatives, proposing leading questions to further the field. Keywords: ecological economics; ecofeminism; gender; capitalist-patriarchy; intersectionality; post-growth; transformational change; systems thinking; complexity As white-settlers in the Region of Waterloo, we acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron (Neutral), Anishnawbe, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The University of Waterloo is also situated on the Haldimand Tract: land promised to the Six Nations that includes ten kilometres on each side of the Grand River. We make this statement to act against the erasure of ongoing colonial legacies across Turtle Island and to acknowledge that we contribute to and benefit from the expulsion, assimilation, and genocide of Indigenous Peoples.

  • Ethical Trans-Feminism: Berlin's Transgender Individuals' Narratives As Contributions to Ethics of Vegetarian Eco- Feminism
    ETHICAL TRANS-FEMINISM: BERLIN’S TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS’ NARRATIVES AS CONTRIBUTIONS TO ETHICS OF VEGETARIAN ECO- FEMINISMS By Anja Koletnik Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Assistant Professor Eszter Timár CEU eTD Collection Second Reader: Professor Allaine Cerwonka Budapest, Hungary 2014 Abstract This thesis will explore multi-directional ethical and political implications of meat non- consumption and cisgender non-conformity. My argument will present how applying transgender as an analytical category to vegetarian eco-feminisms, can be contributive in expanding ethical and political solidarity within feminist projects, which apply gender identity politics to their conceptualizations and argumentations. I will outline the potential to transcend usages of gender identity politics upon a cisnormative canon of vegetarian eco-feminisms lead by Carol J. Adams’ The Sexual Politics of Meat (1990). Adams’s canon of vegetarian eco-feminisms appropriates diet as a central resource of their political projects, which contest speciesism and cis-sexism. Like Adams’ canon, my analysis will consider diet as always having political connotations and implications, both for individuals and their embodiments, within broader socio-political realms. Alongside diet, transgender as an analytical category will be employed within analysis, due to its potential of exposing how genders as social categories and constructs are re-formed. My analysis will be based on narrative interviews, which will explore the multi-directional ethical and political implications of meat non-consumption and cisgender non-conformity among members of Berlin’s transgender / cisgender non-conforming and meat non-consuming subcultures.
