They were inseparable – until the day they jumped. Ruth, saved by safety nets, leaves the city. Kari, saved by a sewer, crawls back into the fray of the living. She writes ad copy for hair products and ill-fitting lingerie, falls for cats and roadside urchins, and the occasional adventuress in a restaurant. As Danger Chhori, her PVC-suit-clad alter ego, she unclogs sewers and observes the secret lives of people and fruit. And with Angel, Lazarus, and the girls of Crystal Palace forming the chorus to her song, she explores the dark heart of Smog City – loneliness, sewers, sleeper success, death – and the memory of her absentee Other. Sensuously illustrated and livened by wry commentaries on life and love, Kari gives a new voice to graphic fiction in India.

Doctoral thesis based on a corpus of thirty novelists or short story writers - including six women - and about one hundred and twenty novels and collections of short stories, The character of the woman in the novel and the short story in Egypt from 1914 to 1960 draws its guiding thread the following observation: the concepts of "novel" and "woman" are, so to speak, discoveries altogether new in Egypt of the XX th century, the traditions, whether political, moral or literary begin to be shaken by contact with Europe. Thus, Charles Vial maintains that the problem of the condition of women did not arise in Egypt from “within”, at a particular stage of its social evolution. It was imposed on him by his confrontation with the West in modern times. Starting from this axiom, it dialectically unfolds the evolution of female characters in Egyptian fictions, from their oppression to their liberation and their sublimation, which the author nevertheless intends to put into perspective. Far from promoting any kind of sexual fulfilment or social responsibility, writers prefer to free their character from “truly feminine” virtues. Some of them even detect in women dispositions for tyranny which they compare to the famous "feminine cunning" and they add to it a mysterious tendency to harm. There is a resurgence of long-held, old beliefs here, but perhaps also the more modern fear of a woman's revenge.

La participation des femmes étrangères durant la guerre civile (1936-1939) – et notamment celles qui s’engagèrent dans les Brigades internationales pour défendre la République et combattre le fascisme – n’avait fait l’objet jusqu’à présent que de très peu de travaux historiques. Il s’agit pourtant d’une dimension majeure de l’histoire de l’antifascisme et des engagements internationalistes féminins. À l’initiative de l’ACER (Amis des combattants volontaires en Espagne républicaine) et de partenaires institutionnels et universitaires, l’ouvrage ¡Solidarias! met en valeur cette mobilisation solidaire, humanitaire, militaire et sanitaire de centaines d’étrangères. Organisé par thématiques, il couvre de nombreux aspects tels que les enjeux historiographiques du sujet, l’observation comparée des femmes dans les différents contingents de volontaires et l’engagement féminin au sein de la mobilisation transnationale autour de l’Espagne, ainsi que la partition des intellectuelles étrangères. Il est proposé ici une mise à jour essentielle de la recherche historique sur la place des femmes dans les solidarités antifascistes et de leur rôle dans le volontariat international.

Parker and Pollock's critique of Art History's sexism leads to expanded, inclusive readings of the art of the past. They demonstrate how the changing historical social realities of gender relations and women artists' translation of gendered conditions into their works provide keys to novel understandings of why we might study the art of the past. They go further to show how such knowledge enables us to understand art by contemporary artists who are women and can contribute to the changing self-perception and creative work of artists today. In March 2020 Griselda Pollock was awarded the Holberg Prize in recognition of her outstanding contribution to research and her influence on thinking on gender, ideology, art and visual culture worldwide for over 40 years. Old Mistresses was her first major scholarly publication which has become a classic work of feminist art history.
