    WMS205: Introduction to Women’s Studies Kimberly L. Dennis, PhD Fall, 2010 TTh 3:30-4:45 e-mail: [email protected] Office: CFAC 121c Classroom: Olin Library, Room 260 Office hours: by appointment web.me.com/kim.dennis/WMS205F10 username: kdennis password: WMS205 What Is Women’s Studies? Women’s Studies, the academic branch of the feminist movement, seeks to redress the exclusion of women’s accomplishments and experiences from the traditional university curriculum. Women’s Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary field which both critiques and draws on the perspectives of the social sciences, the arts and humaniti1es, and the sciences, recognizing that no single subject can adequately address women’s diverse experiences. Women’s Studies scholars recognize that women’s experience has always been and continues to be influenced by a complex matrix of forces, including race, class, sexuality, age, ability, and many others. Course Description This course will explore the history and goals of the academic discipline of Women’s Studies and the social and political movement of feminism. We will begin with an investigation of a fundamental principle that shapes the thinking of both feminists and students of women’s issues: the difference between sex and gender and the social institutions through which male and female children are shaped into adult women and men. We will then complicate our understanding of the category ‘woman’ by exploring some of the ways one’s experience of ‘womanhood’ can be shaped by race and class. Next, we will examine the myths and facts surrounding violence against women and children.

  • 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.

    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). 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.

  • “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.

One way in which we can start to reflect on why this might be the case is through hearing the experiences of women academics themselves. Using feminist methodology, this article attempts to unpack and explore just some examples of ‘cultural sexism’ which characterises the working lives of many women in British academia. This article uses qualitative methods to describe and make sense of some of those experiences.

  • Wages, Housework, and Feminist Activism in 1970S Italy and Canada
    HOUSEWORK AND SOCIAL SUBVERSION: WAGES, HOUSEWORK, AND FEMINIST ACTIVISM IN 1970S ITALY AND CANADA CHRISTINA ROUSSEAU A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HUMANITIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO December 2016 © Christina Rousseau, 2016 Abstract My dissertation, Housework and Social Subversion: Wages, Housework, and Feminist Activism in 1970s Italy and Canada, presents a history of the Wages for Housework movements in Italy and Canada (1972-1978), looking at the parallel development of autonomist feminist politics in these locations. Based on a series of interviews with feminists involved in the movement, my dissertation highlights the significant political value in the way the group’s theoretical perspective influenced our current understanding of social reproduction. Social reproduction refers to the unpaid activities associated with family and societal maintenance – procreation, socialization, and nurturance – as well as paid work in social sectors such as health care, education, childcare, and social services. In the context of Wages for Housework, my dissertation re-examines the movement’s understandings of wages, housework, and the gendered relations of production in the home. In critiquing the capitalist, patriarchal, imperialist nuclear family, they re- conceptualized wages and housework in a way that allowed for the uncovering of the most hidden aspect of housework: emotional labour and care. Looking at the parallel development of Wages for Housework movements in Italy and Canada, I also highlight the emergence of similar tensions regarding the demand for wages and the role of the working class housewife in their analyses.

Rebecca Whisnant Confronting pornography: Some conceptual basics Porn takes over There can be no doubt, at this moment in history, that pornography is a truly massive industry saturating the human community. According to one set of numbers, the US porn industry's revenue went from $7 million in 1972 to $8 billion in 1996 ... and then to $12 billion in 2000.1 Now I'm no economist, and I understand about inflation, but even so, it seems to me that a thousand­ fold increase in a particular industry's revenue within 25 years is something that any thinking person has to come to grips with. Something is happening in this culture, and no person's understanding of sexuality or experience of relationships can be unaffected. The technologies of pornography are ever more dynamic. Obviously, video porn was a huge step up from magazines and even from film.
