Long relegated to the margins of historical research, the history of women in the American South has rightfully gained prominence as a distinguished discipline. A comprehensive and much-needed tribute to southern women’s history, Half Sisters of History brings together the most important work in this field over the past twenty years. This collection of essays by pioneering scholars surveys the roots and development of southern women’s history and examines the roles of white women and women of color across the boundaries of class and social status from the founding of the nation to the present. Authors including Anne Firor Scott, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Jacquelyn Dowd Hall, and Nell Irwin Painter, among others, analyze women’s participation in prewar slavery, their representation in popular fiction, and their involvement in social movements. In no way restricted to views of the plantation South, other essays examine the role of women during the American Revolution, the social status of Native American women, the involvement of Appalachian women in labor struggles, and the significance of women in the battle for civil rights. Because of their indelible impact on gender relations, issues of class, race, and sexuality figure centrally in these analyses. Half Sisters of History will be important not only to women’s historians, but also to southern historians and women’s studies scholars. It will prove invaluable to anyone in search of a full understanding of the history of women, the South, or the nation itself.

As one of the very first women in law enforcement in 1965 in Franklin County, Ohio, Nancy Gene Giles faced challenges in a male-dominated profession, yet managed to follow her own different path even as she encountered all the issues and prejudices of that era.
In her memoir of that formative time, The Accidental Deputy: Navigating the '60s with a Badge: Protests, Guns, Drugs, Men and Chaos, Giles begins her account with stories of her family, and the important examples set by her grandparents, her mother, and especially her father, who in retrospect shaped her for the unexpected law enforcement career from a very young age.
Giles then recounts her service in the Sheriff's Office, including her readiness to say "yes" to becoming a Deputy Sheriff; her experience with police training, including becoming a trainer and learning what effective police training requires; gaining acceptance from her all-male co-workers; and the meaningful mentoring and support she received from the prominent Sheriff, Stacy R. Hall, Sr.
Some of her experiences will make you laugh out loud: her initial training days, buying the department's first uniform with a skirt, driving a huge station wagon fully-marked cruiser, and becoming the first pregnant deputy sheriff. Giles also shares raw and dramatic stories as well, including a rape investigation, a bloody car crash accident, her encounter with a used heroin needle-and the moment a thief aimed his gun directly at her.
By the mid-'60s, Giles and her colleagues faced some of the same challenges we face today, such as chaos on the streets, protests for racial equality, police training on crowd control techniques, and the barriers faced by young women in particular.

Описание: Women over fifty-five are of the generation that changed everything. We didn't expect to. Or intend to. We weren't brought up much differently from the women who came before us, and we rarely identified as feminists, although almost all of us do now.Accidental Feminists is our story. It explores how the world we lived in — with the pill and a regular pay cheque — transformed us and how, almost in spite of ourselves, we revolutionised the world. It is a celebration of grit, adaptability, energy and persistence. It is also a plea for future generations to keep agitating for a better, fairer world.

Описание:
The world of coworking is undergoing a velvet revolution with the emergence since 2017 of new concepts designed by and for women: women-focused coworking spaces. After 6 months of field research across Europe, this book reveals the existence of a grassroots movement destined to mark the decade 2020. It is an invitation to plunge into the heart of the continent's most secret workspaces, to meet the pioneers who are fighting every day to shape a more inclusive future of work. What if sisterhood was the key?
In this hybrid work between market research and anthropology essay, author Ivanne Poussier attempts to map and shed light on this emerging phenomenon from various angles. She invites the reader to immerse in the heart of 30 coworking spaces created by and for women across 22 cities and 13 countries, to discover the new places and ways of working that respond to the specific challenges of entrepreneurship and freelancing for women. She leaves a large space for women's testimonies and convokes the words of experts and academics who have studied the issue of gender in the workplace. Finally, Ivanne opens the discussion on the challenges of inclusion in the future of work.
