The "Fair" Sex: Working Women at London's Fairs, 1698-1732
Wohlcke, Anne
London's Fairs
working women
fair sex
Article
We must consider historical occasions of women’s own response to misogynist representations of their work or regulatory efforts to curtail their labor. As notions of women’s proper urban work space shifted in the early-eighteenth century, female fair workers responded to, ignored, or reconfigured themselves in the face of efforts to regulate their available occupations. Without institutionalized or uniform understandings of all women’s appropriate work, and in the absence of economic conditions which would allow working women to vacate the streets of London, women remained active participants in the city’s work force.

Women's Studies
Article
<p>The demand for legal equality for women in the twentieth century has been fraught with challenges and dilemmas. While advocates for equality insisted laws preventing women from full contractual rights be eliminated and that women be compensated equally for their labor, the political and social tides swept poor women responsible for their children into the mix. In addition to the dramatic influence on social policy, the demands for market equality have been met with slow movement. Women continue to act as caretakers of the home and children, and earn significantly less than men. Attempts to change this through law are evident in the policies of the 1990s, but their effects will be slow to take hold.</p>

Vera Brittain: The Work of Memorial in an Age of War

Article
In her trajectory from sheltered, unmarried middle-class woman to mature rational adult capable of fending for herself on the streets of London, Vera Brittain marks the power of work, even with its inherent restrictions, to negotiate and survive trauma. Work, the speaking out in public about the issues—the sexual, physical, emotional, and intellectual jeopardy of women sparked by keeping them ignorant, liable to break under the shocks they experienced, was the only way to break the cycle and integrate the trauma into a survivable narrative.

Beyond dualism in the life sciences: implications for a feminist critique of gender-specific medicine
Grace, Victoria
WOMEN'S HEALTH; PHILOSOPHIC DUALISM; GENDER-SPECIFIC MEDICINE
Subject area picklist requried for setup.
Article
There are needed some alternative means of conceptualizing some of the central assumptions that support a dualist ontology in the life sciences. A reconceptualisation is crucial for an adequate understanding of the living body. Gender-specific medicine is important for women’s health, and it is making headway against internal conservatism and opposition. Men and women are different, what must be recognized and incorporated into health research, health care, and medical education. Sex hormones, featured as integral to the constitution of difference, are evidently influential in a multitude of sites of bodily function.

Misplaced Focus: Assumptions about Sex Hormones and ACL Injury in Female Athletes
Croissant, Jennifer
Schmit, Emily
ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT; ATHLETICS; PHYSIOLOGY DIFFERENCES; MAN AND WOMAN DIFFERENCES
Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Article
<p>Explaining Anterior cruciate ligament {ACL} injury rate differences between female athletes and male athletes by the role of female hormones is misplaced. We are not in 19.th.century to think, that a woman is “unable” because of her hormonal prepositions and to see this as a “women’s problem”. These injuries require further exploration before they can be labeled as “sex-specific” and as having intrinsic or biological causation. There are different sport opportunities (girls are supposed to be focused on some “feminine” sports and are becoming involved in athletic later than boys) and expected results, which are measured in the same age of boys and girls. Also experience with training of sportsmen has a long history and practice compared to women’s training. The body as a physiological entity is produced throughout the life course of an individual and is not some a priory that can be understood or measured independently of the social life that constructs it.</p>

Picking Barbie™’s Brain: Inherent Sex Differences in Scientific Ability?
Nash, Alison

MEN AND WOMEN DIFFERENCES; RESEARCH; STEREOTYPE THREAT; SCIENCE; TESTS
Subject area picklist requried for setup.
Women's Studies
Article
<p>The idea that the underrepresentation of women in scientific fields stems from inherent sex differences in scientific abilities has recently re-emerged. We critically examine the argument for biological differences in these abilities, focusing on two central claims: 1) There exist measurable sex differences in mathematical and scientific aptitude, and 2) biological predispositions underlie these differences. A review of the research reveals that findings of differences in math and science performance are not reliable and depend on the measures used. Furthermore, the key evidence for biological predispositions comes from poorly designed studies with equivocal findings. Therefore, our review indicates that the underrepresentation of women in scientific fields cannot be explained by biological sex differences.</p>

Walking the Talk: Doing Science with Perimenopausal Women and their Health Care Providers

Article
<p>Perimenopausal high estrogen levels amplify the social stress of changing reproductive status in a culture that places value on women’s youth and beauty. As it was realized that progesterone physiologically counterbalances the effects of estrogen, it would be better to use progesterone, rather than estrogen for appropriate therapy of perimenopause. Based on this new knowledge was designed a three-arm study project comparing the recommended therapy, low dose OC (oral contraceptives) against progesterone therapy. In the pilot project cooperated Health Care Providers (HCP), by whose help was assembled eleven domains, which perimenopausal women find the most problematic. These HCP were also providing consultations for women with these problems, what gave to the women a good chance of self-analyses of their experience, and to HCP knowledge that the participation with their patients can bring something new into their practice.</p>

Article
Jane Austen’s writings are often interpreted as socially conservative, whereas the Marquis de Sade claimed to be revolutionary. However, Sade’s <em>Philosophy in the Boudoir</em> (1795) proposes to perpetuate male aristocratic privilege at the expense of other classes, especially women. Conversely, Austen’s <em>Mansfield Park</em> (1814) challenges patriarchal structures through Fanny Price’s confrontation with Sir Thomas Bertram and the system he represents. Sade endorses ancient inequalities while Austen demands a new social justice.

Guatemala as a National Crime Scene: Femicide and Impunity in Contemporary U.S. Detective Novels

literature, women studies, Guatemala, violence
Article
This paper examines the representation of femicide and impunity in contemporary detective novels set in Guatemala. <em>The Long Night of White Chickens</em> by Francisco Goldman (1992), <em>Body of Truth</em> (1992) by David Lindsey, and <em>Grave Secrets</em> (2002) by Kathy Reichs portray Guatemala in the 1980s and 1990s as a distressing crime scene. The novels depict Guatemala as a dark, frightening place, plagued with inefficient bureaucracy, a chaotic legal system, and a crippled sense of justice where there are dangerous repercussions for searching for and revealing the truth. U.S. journalists, CIA agents, Peace Corps volunteers, forensic scientists, and private investigators navigate the dangerous terrain between lies and truth while grappling to understand the root causes of violence and impunity. By presenting an array of North American characters who travel to Guatemala with complex and often conflicted allegiances, these works of fiction provide a lens through which to view current discussions of gendered violence and impunity. It is my contention that reading these representations of Guatemalan violence in light of our current globalized climate of fear turns a critical eye on the silence and complicity in the U.S. and abroad that allow these grisly murders to remain unpunished – in fiction and in real life.

Extralegal Practices of Afghan Refugees in Iran: Exploring Feminist Transnationalism and Immigration Theories

Article
A growing trend in population movement is transnationalism in which immigrants move between communities in host and home countries. Most research on transnationalists has focused on affluent immigrants engaging in global economy from the above and in the North. Transnational feminist narrative of agency allows that both licit and illegal activities practiced by marginalized communities of the South make a significant contribution to the global economy from below. A case study of Afghan refugee families in Iran revealed that their movement into Iran, another less developed country, resembles the immigration and integration of ethnic workers into advanced industrial countries. Their narratives uncovered a pattern of transnationalism crossing townships in Iran, refugee camps in Pakistan, and communities in Afghanistan. Transnational feminist’s interrogation of global capitalism delivers analytical flexibility to investigate multi-dimensional aspects of border crossing. It alerts us to many ways that globalism exploits; and verity of ways that people of the South maneuver and subvert its forces to claim identity and agency.

“Holy Wives” in Roman Households: 1 Peter 3:1-6

Article
1 Peter addresses Christian women married to non-Christian husbands, telling them to “be subordinate” to their husbands, so that these non-believers might “be won without a word” by your “reverent and chaste” conduct (1 Peter 3:1-2). This passage, even as it reinscribes the patriarchal authority of husbands, admits that wives, precisely in their subordinate positions, might claim some power in the household. This essay, after explicating the role of domestic religious ritual as a vehicle of power, explores the possibilities for Christian wives in pagan households to exercise that power through her own worship of this “foreign” deity.

<p>For many women living with HIV/AIDS, incorporating spirituality into their lives helps them organize their experience, empower self-reconstruction, and manage stigma. (Stanley, 1999). Because of the potential relationship of spirituality and social support, the specific aim of this study is to examine the role of spirituality in the support experiences of women living with HIV or AIDS. In this case, spirituality or a connection to God, offered the women an opportunity to develop meaning and perspective taking, to have a source of support, to provide control through a more powerful being, and to offer a path to community.</p>

Article
In this paper I aim to recover the revolutionary force of Mary’s perpetual virginity as a model for Christian discipleship in two stages: first, I search the writings of Ambrose of Milan and Augustine of Hippo as well as the medieval hagiographic tradition of virgin martyr tales for resources which recognize the possible concurrence of virginity and sexual activity, given that the sexual activity in question lacks full consent; second, I push the tradition beyond itself to reach toward a new understanding of virginity which can admit the possible coincidence of virginity and fully consensual sexual activity

Postmodern and materialist feminist thought as a lens into media-infused social and class reproduction provide a theoretical framework in interrogating this gender binary. I argue that that the books, as heteronormative nostalgia, operationalize a theory I term “gender retraction,” a phenomenon in which the vast knowledge that informs our identity spectrum propels us into a cultural time warp, where, with an array of socially inscribed possibilities, the binary clarity of age old girl/boy categories has resurging appeal The paper exposes gender retraction modeling invented and packaged under boy/girl advice and also analyzes contemporary production modes of sex and class division that stage an uneven distribution of gender capital. Closing arguments propose a gender progression vs. retraction frame to promote open-subject opportunities for children to become.</p>

<p>In light of the growing role of media as a central source of health information, this article evaluates the contribution of television representations to the dissemination of information and social conceptions of women regarding new reproductive practices. The study reported here examined a case study of media representations of surrogacy in a popular television series in Israel, entitled <em>A Touch of Happiness</em>, which has been broadcast repeatedly over the last decade. The analysis compared the televised content with the legal framework and social reality of surrogacy, and found major discrepancies between the two. Thus, this study demonstrates the role media can play in disseminating misinformation and misconceptions that affect women’s health and lives.</p>

A History of Jewish Mothers on Television: Decoding the Tenacious Stereotype

<p>Since the inception of television in the 1940’s the stereotype of the Jewish mother has persisted. This archetypal figure continues into the 21st. Century morphing from a purely ethnic figure to an icon depicting ambivalence about modern motherhood. In deconstructing the perpetuation of this portrait, two components are key: the historical significance of the <em>shtetl</em> mother and the writers and comedians who interpret the <em>shtetl</em> mentality. Most importantly, though, the inconsistencies towards mothers, so strongly birthed in the rise of Second Wave feminism, are still embedded in the Jewish mother stereotype.</p>

“An ill-bred lady with a great big chip on her shoulder”: Gender and Race in Mainstream and Black Press Coverage of Eartha Kitt’s 1968 White House Dissent

<p>An analysis of mainstream and black press coverage of Eartha Kitt’s January 1968 White House dissent on the Vietnam War is presented. Of particular interest is the way journalists constructed Kitt’s dissent for their audiences within intersecting discourses of gender and race. Findings reveal that mainstream journalists tended to undermine Kitt’s dissent by representing her within a gendered racial binary that denied her access to definitions of true womanhood. At the same time, despite presenting more explicit sexual objectification of the actress, journalists in the black press allowed her dissent legitimacy, challenging mainstream discourses.</p>

<p>Based on a corpus of 63 press columns and reports, the paper analyzes how the media construct the identities of Carme Chacón, the first Spanish woman defence minister. It focuses on two salient pictures of her which represent the roles she successfully performed during her first eleven months in office (from April 2008 to March 2009): minister mother, and hybridly-gendered military officer/minister. The study reveals how Chacón’s success as a politician seems to be proportionate to her closeness to the socially sanctioned feminine role of mother, or to the powerful social roles of minister and military officer, performed from hybridly-gendered identities. It reveals as well that identities are becoming more fluid, and a new way to be feminine is pushing its way in the new order.</p>

<p>“Law is the written system through which state authority is defined; thus the study of law is extremely significant in feminist analysis-----the law is both a source for the denial of women’s rights and one of the avenues to which feminists have turned to address the problems of women’s inequality (Andersen, 2009, p. 326).’’</p>

<p>President Barack Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) on March 23, 2010 ending the long history of disparity in access to health care services between insured and uninsured persons. Disparity between women and men in obtaining health insurance coverage is also corrected in the act. Women’s organizations that have focused attention on women’s distinctive health needs over the past century and a half laid the foundation for provisions in the legislation that address women’s health. This article addresses health insurance coverage, its impact on health, the particular challenges women have confronted in seeking coverage, and the impact of the ACA on these issues.</p>

<p>This article will explore the growth in the incarceration of women over the past three decades. Recent scholarship has examined the impact of the war on crime on men, the poor and persons of color and characterized this movement as the New Jim Crow. This strain of research has focused on men. In this article, I will explore the impact of the war on crime on women, their families and their children. I will also explore the so-called gender neutral sentencing reforms and demonstrate the impact of these protocols on women. Finally, I will map the array of social control mechanisms and suggest ways forward to a system that creates greater justice for many of those swept into the war on crime. The author will rely on qualitative research with incarcerated mothers to understand the impact of systems of control on limiting their chances to re-enter mainstream society as workers, mothers, and citizens.</p>

<p>The application of ethical principles in medical research has been a challenging issue because of the multiplicity of health care systems and the variations that exist in standards of care around the globe. This paper addresses the human rights issues that arise from the unethical treatment of women in clinical research worldwide. It includes the history of international human rights legislation as well as the problems that arose because of the exclusion of women from clinical trials. This paper includes a model for ethical clinical research based on the theories of a biologist and human rights scholar and a bio-ethicist, H. Beaqueart and Sunder Rajan. Finally a case study of a large scale clinical study is used to demonstrate that international human rights legislation and feminist ethical concerns can operate alongside each other in a framework for a successful research endeavor.</p>

<p>At a recent gathering of youth at the “Youth Venture 2012 Summit” held in Washington, D.C., participants were advised that a “leader is a person who guides others toward a common goal, showing the way by example, and creating an environment in which other team members feel actively involved in the entire process, not a boss, but a person committed to carrying out the mission of the venture.”</p>

The Respectability Trap: Gender Conventions in 20th Century Movements for Social Change

Women's Studies
Article
<p>An analysis of how a variety of women in 19<sup>th</sup> and 20<sup>th</sup> century movements for social change in the United States negotiated normative gender expectations in both their activism and their personal lives. While challenging norms or using traditional norms as a part of a movement tactic are both common in social movements, women leaders still sometimes found themselves in a ‘respectability trap’ when they reflexively applied the dictates of respectable behavior. In these moments, the often invisible privileges attached to the social recognition of a woman’s respectability – and implied morality – become visible. Women who eschewed traditional norms of public behavior and presentation risked having themselves and their movements dismissed out of hand. Seen in this light, leaders who fell into ingrained conventional social norms should not been seen as weak or incompletely radicalized, rather their experiences point to the complexities for women inherent in negotiating social expectations.</p>

Article
<p>One of the original microfinance institutions (MFIs) is Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and the founder of the bank is Muhammad Yunus (2007). Yunus (2007) initiated a discourse that stated that microloans granted to women resulted in, among other things, increased female empowerment. Much of the global microfinance industry (MFI) has mimicked Yunus’ focus on women and thus created a global master narrative which stated that the capitalist system of credit provided to marginalized women can alleviate poverty and empower women. Other development organizations contend that by itself microfinance cannot empower women; empowerment also requires long-term efforts to influence change in the hegemonic patriarchal social and political structures. In this paper I will assess the MFI narrative of empowerment through a consideration of Grameen Bank’s focus on microfinance and the Self-Employed Women’s Association’s (SEWA) focus on both microloans and larger structural changes.</p>

A qualitative content analysis examines if media framed Iceland’s new leader as a leader, a specifically female leader, or a specifically gay female leader. The findings provide insight regarding how media frame international female politicians in the 21<sup>st</sup> century, and the corresponding opportunities and challenges.</p>

Editorial
<p>The <em>Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought</em> invites contributions for its next issue: <strong>"Immigration: Women as Victims and Voices of Change." </strong></p>
<p>Deadline: May 1, 2014</p>
<p>Although women account for more than half the legal immigrant population in the United States today, too little attention has been paid to the social and legal issues confronting them on a daily basis. Issues of employment, education, health care, and family, combined with fears of exploitation, discrimination, and legal protection from violence, are among the work that contemporary scholars are exploring today. These are the issues we wish to address in the upcoming issue of JIFT. In addition, the editors are looking for studies that identify the contributions that immigrant women have made to the economic, social, and cultural fabric of society.</p>

<p>The post-9/11 era in the United States has revealed a specific fear about immigrants as terrorist threats. Although this fear manifests as a generalized one against any immigrant, when we analyze public discourse, we can find rhetorical patterns involving specific groups, with Latinos/as at center. U.S. public discourse typically conjures images of immigrants as terrorists, which are either genderless or male, and it is activated and cultivated in moments of national crisis (most recently, the 2013 Boston marathon bombing attacks). In this paper, we move beyond notions of immigrants as either genderless or male to discuss post-9/11 perceptions of immigrant women as threats to the security and stability of the country. Specifically, we consider notions surrounding the savagely named “anchor babies” or “terror babies” to explain how images of immigrant women have assumed new meanings following the events of September 11, 2001, with special attention given to conceptions of Latina bodies as threatening. These designations, used consistently among the country’s political right, have created discursive sensibilities in relation to (Latina) immigrants. We tease out the ideologies embedded within the rhetoric of conservative pundits and politicians, who have consistently discussed and proselytized against immigrants, and more to the point, painstakingly articulated immigrants as terrorists since 2001. We examine statements made by social critics such as Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter, along with comments made by state and federal politicians, to trace a troubling pattern of discourse connecting women immigrants and their babies to destruction and terrorism--transforming immigrant bodies into perceived threats to the security of the United States. We also use Leo Chavez’s concept of "the Latino threat," relating it to Nicholas de Genova’s idea of "a deportation regime," and Kathleen Arnold’s notions about immigrants as threats to unpack and trace these connections.</p>

<p>Black women’s rates of HIV/AIDS infection have skyrocketed in comparison to other racial and ethnic groups over the past thirty years. Despite these rates, HIV-positive Black women’s perspectives are rarely sought regarding best practices to eradicate and interrupt HIV/AIDS among African American women, even though historically Black women have often proved phenomenal agents of social change. HIV-positive Black women’s activism has been understudied and input from the community in crisis has rarely been deemed as valuable to public health officials in HIV/AIDS prevention and interventions. Through the narratives of thirty HIV-positive Floridian Black women, I present HIV-positive Black women’s political participation around these emerging themes: 1) face-to-face activism 2) activist mothering, and 2) publically coming out as women living with HIV/AIDS.</p>

<p>As early as 10 years old, Phuong B. Dao knew that one day she was going to seek a better life outside Vietnam. Greatly influenced by the ravages of war, combined with the images of life in America as shown in American films, she left Vietnam in 1982 at the age of 17. Her compelling story provides the listener with a first-hand account of her secret escape in a small fishing boat, her rescue at sea by a U.S. aircraft carrier, and eventually reaching the United States by way of a refugee camp in the Philippines. She completes her story with an account of the challenges that she and other new immigrants face as they struggle with language, work, and loneliness in a new country.</p>

<p>Sister Eva Lallo is a Sister of Mercy, a graduate of Salve Regina University, who has lived and worked for many years in Central America. As teacher, student, counselor, and administrator in Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras, Sr. Eva has had the opportunity to know and appreciate the history and culture of the native people of those countries. In particular, she has witnessed their everyday lives and struggles, especially in Honduras where she lived and ministered for 12 years, and to where she returns each year for several months. In her interview with Debra Herz, she shares her personal background, but mainly addresses the conditions, the poverty, and the violence which prevail in that country, particularly today. At a time, when we seek answers to the roots of migration, Sr. Eva helps us to understand the immigration problems on the U.S. southern border today.</p>

Editorial
<p>The <em>Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought</em> invites contributions for its next issue: "Changing Families, Changing Women." <strong>Deadline extended to: November 1, 2015.</strong></p>
<p>There is no denying that families, particularly in the West, are changing, and will continue to do so in the future. At the same time, women are also undergoing radical change. What are the implications for society as a whole and for each of us as individuals? While the traditional definition of family as a basic social unit consisting of parents and their children, considered as a group, whether living together or not, still holds, the interpretation and lived experience varies according to culture, religious beliefs, geography, and economic conditions. Advances in medicine and technology raise the fundamental question as to what actually constitutes a family. In every case, women’s place and women’s role is central to the vitality of the family. In this issue of the “Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought,” we will explore the interrelationship between changing families and women. We join with on-going political and religious efforts to address this issue.</p>

Rewriting the How-To of Parenting: What Is Really Modern about ABC’s Modern Family

ABC's Modern Family

Article
<p>Despite its unconventional family structures and playful gestures at redefining traditional gender scripts, ABC’s domestic comedy, <em>Modern Family</em>, perpetuates perceived notions of femininity and masculinity within the context of three families whose differences from the nuclear family are far from radical. Reassuring even its most conservative viewers on these counts, the show does, however, portray a potentially unsettling approach to parenting. The dynamics of parenting are unstable, bending gender rules and disregarding boundaries normally set by age, race, and social class. As normative notions of parenting are questioned and expanded, parenthood is no longer an immutable institution built on hard rules and clear hierarchies. However chaotic in appearance, such parenting takes a tremendous burden off the shoulders of viewer-parents and, particularly, viewer-mothers who, in a climate that equates the decline of family values with the failure of society as a whole, are culturally mandated to be unshakeable sources of stability, consistency, and guidance. Rather than blaming parents for their inability to follow a socially sanctioned parenting protocol, <em>Modern Family</em> grants fathers and especially mothers leeway to approach parenthood and family according to their individual abilities and limitations.</p>

Article
<p>The Book of Genesis is principally a description of the emergence of interconnected families with specific relationships such as husband and wife, husband and wife-surrogate (distinct from prostitutes and harlots) sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers-sons-daughters-in-law.</p>
<p>Love, loyalty, fidelity and affection appear often and in many forms, but no family portrayed in Genesis appears immune to exploitation, manipulation, trickery, treachery, lust, hatred or murder. Both men and women are seen as active forces in the destiny of these troubled families, for good and ill.</p>
<p>This essay is offered as an invitation to those interested in the evolution of family life to look where they might not expect to find anything worthwhile. What I found is hardly final - for me or for anyone else.</p>

Tupac’s Quest for Black Jesus: God as Deadbeat Dad and Afeni, the Migdala

Article
<p>Although Tupac Shakur, American rapper, maintained in a late interview that he had gotten past his abandonment by his father, the absence of that father no doubt left him to fend for himself, scarred and confused. This sense of abandonment extended to the theological realm. For Shakur, God the Father “can’t come where I’m at.” He is, in a sense, a “deadbeat dad.” Like the absentee father, He has placed him here, abandoned, the product of a broken home and broken world, with few resources by which to find his way. Understanding a father-less Tupac Shakur and his syncretic quest for a Black Jesus begins with recognizing how much his life and character are enframed in his mother’s own story. The enframing starts when she is in prison and he is in her womb, life nurtured within life imprisoned. It continues with her renaming of her son: how that renaming links him historically (and tragically) to a number of syncretic, revolutionary movements. Indeed, this enframing still plays a role when Tupac’s misguided quest for Black Jesus dead ends in the figure of the Godfather.</p>

Call for Papers: The Power of Social Institutions and Women’s Lives. Submission deadline: August 1, 2017
2016-03-01T08:00:00Z
Editorial
<p>The <em>Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought</em> (<a href="http://digitalcommons.salve.edu/jift/">http://digitalcommons.salve.edu/jift/</a>) invites contributions for its next issue:</p>
<p><strong>The Power of Social Institutions and Women’s Lives</strong></p>
<p>Social institutions, complex organizations of beliefs, values, and expectations of a society, are powerful forces in the determination and regulation of the human behavior of its members. These institutions include governmental, religious, economic, educational, and health care institutions, as well as the media, and the family. Each of these institutions, nationally and internationally, influences the status, structure, and exercise of human rights for women today.</p>
<p>For that reason, the editors of JIFT find that it is time to explore and highlight some examples of how powerful institutions may both limit and abuse the rights of contemporary women, and how women have struggled to address these issues.</p>

Doing and Undoing Gender in the Hospital Workplace

Article
<p>In the hospital, both male and female doctors ‘do gender’, but because men and masculinity are associated with greater authority (and by association, competence), masculinised traits are favoured over feminine traits in the hospital workplace. In order to be accepted as competent doctors, female doctors expend a great deal of ‘emotional labour’ and ‘do gender’ by acting out prized masculine traits through appearance and behaviour strategies and thereby gaining legitimacy as respected, competent doctors in their interactions with other co-workers (doctors, nurses) and patients. Our study looks at the varied experiences of both older/senior and younger/junior medical doctors. Through in-depth interviews with 41 male and female doctors, this article examines how masculinities and masculine practices become embedded, routinized and legitimised in the hospital workplace. We find that gender, age and specialty play important roles in gender stereotyping, negatively affecting not just female doctors, but male doctors too who may need to ‘do gender’ by adhering to the strictest masculine norms. By examining the interplay of gender inequalities in the everyday interactive workplace relationships between doctors, nurses and patients in hospitals, our study finds that everyday practices of gendered behaviour are driven by complex age-gender stereotypic intersections that do not prioritise female doctors, particularly young and female doctors.</p>

<p>Women’s movement into sectors of society that have previously excluded them can be a cause of triumph. The institutions that receive them, however, often erect further barriers to their participation. This study of the intersection of two such institutions, the military and journalism, explores the nature of news coverage of sexual violence toward women in the military over a 22 year period.</p>

Cr/Hacking the (Gendered) System: Breaking Down Barriers to Women’s Empowerment in STEM: A Manifesto

Article
<p>This manifesto re-envisions Alice Rossi’s (1964) “immodest proposal” to reignite the spark of suffrage and connect it to a revolution that breaks down the barriers to women’s empowerment in STEM-related careers. This is a decisive moment in time and transformation is within reach because there are two generations of women and minorities working in STEM-related fields, and the technology culture is changing the image of the hacker from the lone male to collaborating women. My goal is to motivate these cr/hackers to push beyond pipeline initiatives, and acknowledge that we are also a powerful institution. We will revolutionize STEM culture using three strategies: iNfIl7R@ti0n, dI$rUp7i0N, and eNG@G3Ment.</p>

Commentary: Disempowerment of the Adjunct Online Instructor (AOI) in Educational Institutions

Editorial
<p>Institutions structure how we think about ourselves and how we interact with one another. Hence, at numerous levels, institutions instigate powerful forces determining and regulating various behaviors, including the behavior of individuals in institutions of higher education. These institutions have considerable power in women’s lives not only as learners, consumers, and users of services but also as instructors, workers, and deliverers of services both nationally and internationally.</p>
<p>This essay explores and highlights how powerful educational institutions limit and abuse the rights of contemporary women, particularly as service deliverers and as adjuncts in online higher education, including imposing severe limitations placed on curricular design. This in turn impacts consumers of educational services and the self-image of the American populace.</p>
<p><strong><br /></strong></p>
<p><strong>Comments:</strong> This essay is a summary of a much longer article by Batya Weinbaum. The editors thought the issues raised by Doctor Weinbaum were important and provocative in academia today. If any of our readers are interested in commenting to JIFT regarding these issues, your comments can be addressed to either of the editors: Virginia Walsh, walshv@salve.edu or Carol Shelton, cshelton@ric.edu.</p>
<p>Doctor Weinbaum, weinbaumbatya@gmail.com also welcomes inquiries and commentary from readers who may be interested in a book-in-process titled: <em>Adjuncts on the Edge: Invisible in Academe.</em></p>

<p>This study of the U.S. Women’s March on Washington engages a feminist cultural studies lens to examine my own participant observations and multiple lived accounts published by women in open blogs, op-ed pieces, and online articles to produce a critical analysis of collective resistance and action. Photos from the march offer a gritty core sample of American cultural identities in terms of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, ethnicity and religion with marchers standing shoulder to shoulder in coalition against misogyny, heterosexism, white supremacy, xenophobia, and the very real threat to recognizing women’s rights as human rights. Drawing on the strength of collective resistance and coalition building across difference, the march created a space for galvanizing women to engage in political change making. This change is evidenced through a variety of political actions taken after the march including: record numbers of women running for and winning political nomination, dramatic swells in activist trainings for organizations like Planned Parenthood, increases in voter registration drives linked to #PowerToThePolls, and the proliferation of conversations about sexual harassment connected to the #MeToo movement.</p>

Article
<p>Drawing from a doctoral thesis on the construction of gender in livelihoods, this paper analyzes women’s experiences of participation in a local decentralized governance body (Village Tourism Development Committee) within a State implemented community based rural tourism development program that aims at political empowerment of women and the marginalised. Building a theoretical framework located in Feminist Political Geography, this paper adds to the knowledge on the gendered nature of space by examining the unexplored role of local decentralized governance and development agencies as political space in which culturally and historically embedded gender and caste roles intersect to impact the outcome on women’s political assets. Methodologically, the article uses data collected within a feminist phenomenological framework to elaborately investigate women’s experiences of gender and caste relations in political space</p>
<p>It is argued that women face various socio-cultural constraints that pose challenges to optimum realization of their political capacities. The constraints faced by them are gendered and casteised with a historicity of marginalization and spatial discrimination. The main argument here is that gendered construction of space presents challenges to full and meaningful participation of women in the state created local and decentralized political agency. By building a topographical understanding of women’s political participation, the paper also emphasizes the significance of scales and shows how broader structures and processes work with local ones in local space and place to impact women’s immediate political realities and experiences. It is suggested that processes like United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) guidelines, increasing international tourist in-flow, national policies, schemes and projects on tourism development and empowerment of women, patriarchy, capitalism, and casteism operate at broader global and national scales and affect women’s lives at their local regional levels. Multiple socio-economic structures and relations existing at local, household, community and individual scales like gendered division of labor, local economic relations, cultural and religious beliefs and norms, and household and community power relations also affect and are impacted by the broader processes and structures. These, in turn, together influence the extent to which women can gain political power.</p>
<p>The findings of the analysis suggest that when a political empowerment program is implemented in practice, top-down by the State, in the overall space of unequal gender and caste relations, the women’s experiences of political participation are unsurprisingly those which suggest that tourism is borne out of and developed in a gendered society with gendered impacts.</p>

<p>Studies on Osun State and women's representation in both the federal and state levels and in the legislative and executive arms of government indicated it has the second highest women's representation in South West, Nigeria. This gives an impression that democracy is being sustained at the grassroots. However, the fact on the ground is to the contrary, especially when compared with their male counterparts and their representation in government. Therefore, this study explores women's political participation and grassroots democratic sustainability in Osun State, Nigeria from 1999 to 2015.This study adopted survey research design. Data were collected through questionnaires and unstructured interviews.</p>
<p>The findings revealed that the number of women involved in political participation in Osun state is low compared to their male counterparts yet they are beginning to make great strides. It was found that women’s representation at the two levels of involvement in the period under study was 50 women or 20.5% of the group while male representation was 244 or 79.5 %. Further, it was revealed that the under representation of women in political participation in Osun State was due to certain socio-cultural factors like violence, discrimination against women, people's perception of politics as a dirty game and cultural beliefs. The study conclusions suggest that representation of women in Osun State is low compared to their male counterparts. This indicates that sustainability of democracy at the grassroots level is yet to be sustained. It is recommended that there needs to be local policies to end all discrimination against women as well as a platform of action entrenched in the constitution. In addition, the support of organized women’s associations not only in training women, but also through financial support and with the assistance of the government should be encouraged.</p>
