Dit onderzoek peilt naar de (on)zichtbaarheid van vrouwenarbeid in het Belgische katholieke intellecturle debat tussen 1945 en 1960, en vooral naar de opinies over vrouwenarbeid die in deze kringen toen gangbaar waren. Dit gebeurde aan de hand van een nauwgezette analyse van de teksten van toonaangevende personen uit het Belgische katholieke milieu in zes christelijke intellectuele tijdschriften uit die periode. Via een contextuele analyse valt uit deze opvattingen over vrouwenarbeid veel af te leiden over hoe er toen gedacht werd over betaalde en onbetaalde arbeid en over de rol van vrouwen in het gezin en op de arbeidsmarkt. Eén van de belangrijkste vaststellingen van het onderzoek is dat vrouwenarbeid geen belangrijk thema was in de naoorlogse intellectuele discussies in katholiek België. De vrouwenarbeid die wel aan bod kwam, werd op allerlei manieren als uitzonderlijk en afwijkend geconstrueerd en geproblematiseerd. De redenen waarom vrouwen werkten werden gediskwalificeerd als ophefbaar (economische nood), egoïstisch en materialistisch (comfort) en ongewenst (emancipatie).

This exceptional collection of essays breaks new ground by examining the global impact of infertility as a major reproductive health issue, one that has profoundly affected the lives of countless women and men. Based on original research by seventeen internationally acclaimed social scientists, it is the first book to investigate the use of reproductive technologies in non-Western countries. Provocative and incisive, it is the most substantial work to date on the subject of infertility. With infertility as the lens through which a wide range of social issues is explored, the contributors address a far-reaching array of topics: why infertility has been neglected in population studies, how the deeply gendered nature of infertility sets the blame squarely on women's shoulders, how infertility and its treatment transform family dynamics and relationships, and the distribution of medical and marital power. The chapters present informed and sophisticated investigations into cultural perceptions of infertility in numerous countries, including China, India, the nations of sub-Saharan Africa, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Egypt, Israel, the United States, and the nations of Europe. Poised to become the quintessential reference on infertility from an international social science perspective, Infertility around the Globe makes a powerful argument that involuntary childlessness is a complex phenomenon that has far-reaching significance worldwide.

During her lifetime, the gifted writer Marie le Jars de Gournay (1565-1645) was celebrated as one of the "seventy most famous women of all time" in Jean de la Forge's Circle of Learned Women (1663). The adopted daughter of Montaigne, as well as his editor, Gournay was a major literary force and a pioneering feminist voice during a tumultuous period in France. This volume presents translations of four of Gournay's works that address feminist issues. Two of these appear here in English for the first time-The Promenade of Monsieur de Montaigne and The Apology for the Woman Writing. One of the first modern psychological novels, the best-selling Promenade was also the first to explore female sexual feeling. With the autobiographical Apology, Gournay defended every aspect of her life, from her moral conduct to her household management. The book also includes Gournay's last revisions (1641) of her two best-known feminist treatises, The Equality of Men and Women and The Ladies' Complaint. The editors provide a general overview of Gournay's career, as well as individual introductions and extensive annotations for each work.

Research on gender inequity in international health in both low- and high-income countries. Engendering International Health presents the work of leading researchers on gender equity in international health. Growing economic inequalities reinforce social injustices, stall health gains, and deny good health to many. In particular, deep-seated gender biases in health research and policy institutions combine with a lack of well-articulated and accessible evidence to downgrade the importance of gender perspectives in health. The book's central premise is that unless public health changes direction, it cannot effectively address the needs of those who are most marginalized, many of whom are women. The book offers evidence and analysis for both low- and high-income countries, providing a gender and health analysis cross-cut by a concern for other markers of social inequity, such as class and race. It details approaches and agendas that incorporate, but go beyond, commonly acknowledged issues relating to women's health; and it brings gender and equity analysis into the heart of the debates that dominate international health policy.
