Описание: It would be unthinkable now to omit early female pioneers from any survey of photography`s history in the Western world. Yet for many years the gendered language of American, British and French photographic literature made it appear that women`s interactions with early photography did not count as significant contributions.

Описание:
Carnage in the classroom, misogynists in high office, sociopaths in uniform, masculinity is a killer. From styles of dress to the stunted capacity for expressing a diversity of emotions, becoming a man involves killing off and repudiating anything that in our society is held as feminine. When a person is unable to show compassion and tenderness, or when exposed for their frailties, feels angry and humiliated, they have problems. Problems that none of us are immune to. Masculinity, Cremin provocatively declares, is a generic disorder of a sick society that afflicts even the best of us. Neither a condition of being human nor even of male, it is a disorder, as she illustrates, of a capitalist society that depends and even thrives upon its very symptoms.
From the perspective of a trans woman raised to be a man, the book maps the disorder and speculates on the possible means to overcome it. Instead of signifying weakness, catastrophes can be prevented when the qualities men often fear and women often feel subordinated to are prioritised, affirmed and nourished. Drawing, amongst others, on Marx and Freud, Cremin eloquently demonstrates why there can be no future other than one in which we are all reconciled as a society with the feminine. In such a future, the terms 'masculine' and 'feminine' will neither define us nor determine our relationship to one another.
Описание: Between 1870 and 1910 male authors were actively engaged with imagining new possibilities for women, at the same time as the central female figure continued to function as a troubling and unreachable object of aesthetic desire. This book examines these inscrutable female characters who were the ground on which fiction reinvented itself as Art.
A call to women to accept and live our feminine nature.
The essence of the feminine nature is life. It is the energy in us that cares about life in all its forms, that brings warmth and beauty to everyday living, that says yes to life. This sensibility runs deep yet close to the surface in women. Growing from girlhood into womanhood, many of us forget or reject our true femininity.
Coming back home to our feminine nature is a process of recognizing what was left behind, feeling the sorrow of that loss, and learning to value what is ours by birthright. Many women yearn to feel more whole, more complete.
The answer lies in connecting with the original feminine that flows in our veins. With knowledge and commitment, we can recover the sensitivities and intelligence natural to us as women. When rooted in the wisdom of our personal rhythms and inner knowing's, we experience security and a sense of belonging from within.
Explaining the feminine principle in a down-to-earth manner, The Nature of Woman affirms women's ways of thinking, seeing, speaking and being. Stories from the natural world, viewed psychologically, take the reader deep into the instinctive wisdom residing in women's bodies and psyches. An age-old practice from a culture that honours women's sensibilities reveals pointers for congruent living as a woman. Women hungry for a sense of authentic womanhood will find inspiration, validation and guidance here.
If you desire to Be Woman, the pages of this book invite you in.

Описание:
Throughout the Weimar period the so-called “masculinization of woman” was much more than merely an outsider or subcultural phenomenon; it was central to representations of the changing female ideal, and fed into wider debates concerning the health and fertility of the German “race” following the rupture of war. Drawing on recent developments within the history of sexuality, this book sheds new light on representations and discussions of the masculine woman within the Weimar print media from 1918–1933. It traces the connotations and controversies surrounding this figure from her rise to media prominence in the early 1920s until the beginning of the Nazi period, considering questions of race, class, sexuality, and geography. By focusing on styles, bodies and identities that did not conform to societal norms of binary gender or heterosexuality, this book contributes to our understanding of gendered lives and experiences at this pivotal juncture in German history.

Описание: Mentored to Perfection: The Masculine Terms of Success in Academia examines how mentoring programs between women tend to replicate the hierarchical relations of patriarchy that they are meant to dismantle.
This title was first published in 2000: This work aims to provide a comparative and temporal assessment of the position of women in non-traditional employment in Europe, Britain and Northern Ireland. Its second aim is to provide a new perspective on the division of labour in modern Western societies and to critically examine the issues, debates and perspectives which have traditionally dominated portrayals of women and paid employment. The book assesses the potential which women themselves have for transforming existing gender relations, particularly within the structural constraints of the education, training and employment systems. In so doing, it is intended to highlight flaws inherent in much contemporary feminist theorizing, and aims to provide a more satisfactory theoretical framework within which to elaborate and develop its arguments. While related texts have tended to concentrate on stereotypical notions of women and paid employment, this book aims to fill a gap in the literature by scrutinizing the lived experiences of women in non-traditional manual occupations, and relating these to a possible transformation of the existing gender order in Western societies
Описание: This book is about the modernist narrative voice and its correlation to medical, mythological, and psychoanalytic images of emasculation between 1919 and 1945.
