Eleanor Galenson had a remarkable career whose singular focus was her life-long interest in the maturational and psychosexual vicissitudes of infancy and early childhood. The selection of her writings in this volume highlight her approach to the study of the early years of life and, in particular, her contributions to understanding the developmental significance of the very young child's discovery of sexual difference, and the ways in which each child expresses this through play, symbolization and language. Interviews that Galenson gave to Milton Senn and Lucy LaFarge provide a Prologue to the Volume. They introduce the reader to her voice, and portray the milieu within which she matured and worked as a pediatrician, researcher and psychoanalyst. Papers are organized in three parts that illustrate different facets of Galenson's thinking and work: Symbolization, Thought and Language; Infantile Origins of Sexual Identity; and The Tripartite Therapeutic Model. Parts1 and2 are introduced by Patricia Nachman and Lucy LaFarge, respectively, colleagues and friends of Galenson who are deeply familiar with her work.

Margarete Susman (1872-1966), a prominent figure in German-speaking culture, was an essayist, Kulturtheoretikerin, philosopher, poet and painter. His vast production - almost unknown in Italy - deals with various themes: from literary criticism to interreligious dialogue, from the study of Romanticism to portraits of great personalities of the past and of his time. This book investigates the ëfeminile 'in Susman from two points of view: from a formal perspective, it describes the path of a writer who, from the early years of the twentieth century, moves between poetry and essay, passing through the comparison with the epistolary culture ; from a thematic perspective, it examines the essays in which Susman deals with sexual difference and the relationship between the 'masculine' and the 'feminine'.

Sexual Dimorphism- Various biological studies on the subject of sex differences have been published. The subjects of these studies are not only humans, but also other mammals, birds, amphibians, insects, extending to ostracoda in the Paleozoic era. Moreover, original methods in individual studies have been used. This book provides convincing reasons which explain sex differences. The book also shows that, even if considered that some living things do not have sex differences, in reality they do. The somewhat different data on sex differences in this book will offer new ideas not only to life scientists and biologists, but social and cultural scientists as well.

The saga of sex differences in brain and behavior begins with a tiny sperm swimming toward a huge egg, to contribute its tiny Y chromosome plus its copies of the other chromosomes. Genetic, anatomic and physiologic alterations in the male ensue, making his brain and behavior different in specific respects from his sister. Brain-wise, specific cell groups develop differently in males compared to females, in some cases right after birth and in other cases at puberty. But genetics and neuroanatomy do not dominate the scene. Prenatal stress, postnatal stress and lousy treatment at puberty all can

Geschlechterstereotypen werden in Unterricht und Erziehung gewollt oder ungewollt transportiert. Von Jungen erwarten wir eher Stärke und Unkonzentriertheit, von Mädchen eher Fleiß und Angepasstheit. Diese Problematik wird in Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerfortbildungen bereits lange thematisiert. Die AutorInnen diskutieren die von Lehrkräften geforderte Genderkompetenz aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln und bieten Anregungen für die schulische Praxis. Dabei werden auch Aspekte für die Weiterentwicklung einer wissenschaftlich fundierten Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerfortbildung hinsichtlich eines genderkompetenten Lehrens und Lernens thematisiert. Gender stereotypes are transported intentionally or unintentionally into teaching and education. We rather expect strength and lack of concentration from boys, diligence and adaptability from girls. This problem has long been addressed in teacher training courses. The authors discuss the gender competence demanded by teachers from different perspectives and offer suggestions for school practice. Aspects for further development of scientifically founded teacher training with regard to gender-competent teaching and learning is also discussed.

Naar aanleiding van haar 95ste verjaardag schreef de Vlaamse kunstcriticus Jozef Muls dat Marie Elisabeth Belpaire 'steeds de vrouw van goede smaak was gebleven. Zij zou haar wezen nooit ontsierd hebben door ambities of werk die niet van haar kunnen waren.'' Hoewel bedoeld als eerbetoon, deed hij haar met die woorden onrecht aan. Marie Elisabeth Belpaire was immers een van de weinige vrouwen die er in de eerste decennia van de twintigste eeuw in slaagde om de dominantie van mannelijke auteurs, redacteurs en critici in het literaire veld te doorbreken. Als eigenares en financier van het gezaghe
