Abstract

In the UK ? where only a fifth of MPs are female; where women are paid less than men and one in four will experience violence from their partner; where men comprise the vast majority of the prison population and boys are underperforming at school ? the biblical vision of women and men being truly equal is needed more than ever. Equality, Jenny Baker suggests, is intrinsically related to the desire to see people flourish. Jesus was not averse to challenging cultural stereotypes in his encounters with others. His model of liberating relationships can be a great encouragement to us, as we se

Abstract

La 4e de couverture indique : "Il n'existait pas encore de recueil de documents sur l'histoire des femmes du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours, pas plus en France qu'en Europe. Avec cet ouvrage, nous revenons aux sources. Fictions, chansons, discours, essais, correspondances - dans leur langue originale et leur traduction française - mais aussi documents iconographiques se font ici l'écho de trois siècles d'histoire européenne et des aspirations ou, au contraire, des obstacles à une plus grande égalité entre les sexes. Qu'il s'agisse de textes devenus classiques, comme ceux d'Olympe de Gouges, d'Alexandra Kollontaï et de Virginia Woolf, ou d'autres moins connus, tous font entendre la diversité des expériences du peuple des femmes, de toutes conditions (domestiques, paysannes, artistes, ouvrières, intellectuelles...), aussi bien à Paris qu'à Moscou, Madrid ou Londres. Ce livre interroge l'éducation des filles, l'influence des religions, le rapport au corps, l'expérience de guerre, les féminismes et les luttes menées au nom de l'égalité civile et politique, ou encore la reconnaissance conquise dans les arts et les sciences, offrant ainsi à la riche et passionnante histoire des femmes une somme unique et essentielle."

Abstract

Comment les femmes ont-elles perdu en France le pouvoir de gouverner ? Pourquoi Calvin s'est-il excusé auprès de la reine d'Angleterre Élisabeth Ie lorsqu'elle accéda au trône ? Comment les femmes ont-elles participé collectivement aux Révolutions anglaises du XVIIe siècle, américaine, française, liégeoise et brabançonne, néerlandaises du XVIIIe siècle ? Quelles ont été les formes de résistance des femmes esclaves dans la traite négrière ? Comment les utopistes et les marxistes ont-ils conçu l'émancipation des femmes ? Quand le féminisme est-il né ? Comment a-t-il évolué ? Quand et comment les femmes ont-elles obtenu le droit de vote dans les États européens, en Amérique du Nord, en Amérique latine ? Savez-vous que des femmes s'enrôlèrent dans le nazisme, le fascisme italien, la collaboration française, le franquisme, le salazarisme portugais ? Quelle fut l'action souvent méconnue des résistantes à ces régimes totalitaires ? La Commune de Paris de 1871, les Révolutions russes de 1905 et 1917, la Révolution allemande de 1918 ont-elles marqué des avancées sociales et politiques pour les femmes ?

Abstract

"When the introduction of board gender quotas was first discussed in Italy a decade ago, those in favor of quotas relied on nonacademic results from consultancy companies claiming that a higher share of women would "lead" to substantial better performance. The arguments against gender quotas were dominated by the defense of "meritocracy", arguing that quotas contravene meritocracy because they risk promoting less qualified individuals and thus reducing the quality of board members. I was puzzled. The argument in favor was not convincing, since it was based on a simple correlation, which is different from causality. The one against was misplaced: Why do we talk about the quality of women if the quality of men has never been an issue? Moreover, since highly qualified women are abundant, why should the promotion of women reduce quality? At that time, together with some co-authors, I contributed to the production of new evidence in the political sphere, showing in a causal way (i.e., using a rigorous analysis) that the introduction of gender quotas in candidate lists increased - rather than decreased - the quality of elected politicians. The rationale for gender quotas changed: policy-makers stopped using unreliable correlations between female representation and performance to justify gender quotas and realized that gender quotas do not contravene meritocracy but rather enhance it"--

Abstract

Through interviews with Christian and Muslim women in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom, this book explores intersections between religion, citizenship, gender and feminism. How do religious women think about citizenship, and how do they practice citizenship in everyday life? How important is faith in their lives, and how is religion bound up with other identities such as gender and nationality? What are their views on 'gender equality', women's movements and feminism? The answers offered by this book are complex. Religion can be viewed as both a resource and a barrier to women's participation. The interviewed women talk about citizenship in terms of participation, belonging, love, care, tolerance and respect. Some seek gender equality within their religious communities, while others accept different roles and spaces for women. 'Natural' differences between women and men and their equal value are emphasized more than equal rights. Women's movements are viewed as having made positive contributions to women's status, but interviewees are also critical of claims related to abortion and divorce, and of feminism's allegedly selfish, unwomanly, anti-men and power-seeking stance. In the interviews, Christian privilege is largely invisible and silenced, while Muslim disadvantage is both visible and articulated. Line Nyhagen and Beatrice Halsaa unpack and make sense of these findings, discussing potential implications for the relationship between religion, gender and feminism.

Abstract

Dit boek is het resultaat van een ontmoeting die georganiseerd werd door de universiteit van vrouwen en Charte 91. Het behandelt de houding van extreem-rechts tegenover vrouwen en situeert het in zijn historische context, zowel Belgisch als internationaal. Het boek brengt een aantal hedendaagse politieke praktijken aan het licht die, door het uitgraven van meer ongelijkheid, de immenging en de progressie van extreem-rechts bevorderen.
