"Judith Love Schwab had many duties as an international volunteer, but some of the most memorable were following meerkats in the Kalahari Desert, collecting data on early gardens and buildings for archaeologists on Easter Island, helping care for underserved babies in Romania, teaching English in Poland, sifting for bones and shells in Portugal and working with severely disabled adults at an institution in Greece. While recounting these experiences, Schwab also examines the limitations imposed on her as a female growing up in the middle of the 20th century and the inhibitions she overcame to begin traveling in her fifties."--

Voices of Privilege and Sacrifice from Women Volunteers in India: I Can Change uses data collected from educated, urban, middle and upper-class women at the forefront of women's empowerment movements as volunteers and activists in NGOs in India, who consider themselves sometimes feminist and sometimes not. It sheds light on how these women in a fast-changing global economy negotiate their daily lives amid pressures of tradition, and if they are able to transition from a traditional patriarchal society to an egalitarian democratic civil society.

Drawing on communications ‘rescued' from the shredders in the last days of Rhodesia, enlivened by photographs and memories - both her own and those of her colleagues - Maia Chenaux-Repond tells the story of her work as the Provincial Community Development Officer (Women) for Mashonaland and South in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the 1970s. There are no records whatsoever in the National Archives of Zimbabwe about the Community Development Section (Women), even though it was active in all the provinces. In the absence of other documentary sources, and all other provincial officers long having emigrated or died, this account of her work fills a significant gap in the pre-independence history of Zimbabwe. The crucial focus of the Women's Section on improving the lives and skills of women in the rural areas became progressively more difficult when the civil war intensified from the early 1970 as rural people - and the development workers themselves - were moved into ‘Protected Villages', and as the Ministry became increasingly militarized.

"Die Trümmerfrau gehört zum festen Repertoire nahezu jeder historischen Darstellung der Nachkriegszeit, ganz gleich, ob in TV- und Printmedien, in Schulbüchern oder in Ausstellungen der historischen Museen. Seit Anfang der 1950er Jahre bis in unsere unmittelbare Gegenwart kam es darüber hinaus in den unterschiedlichsten Städten immer wieder zur Errichtung von Trümmerfrauen-Denkmälern. Leonie Treber hat erstmals die überlieferten Fakten geprüft und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Trümmerfrauen ein Mythos sind; es gibt nur ganz wenige Belege dafür, dass tatsächlich Frauen im Krieg und in der Nachkriegszeit Bombentrümmer beseitigt haben. Wie für Mythen gemeinhin üblich, handelt es sich bei den heute verbreiteten stereotypen Trümmerfrauen-Narrativen jedoch keineswegs um reine Lügen, vielmehr enthalten sie einige Brocken Wahrheit, die jedoch mitunter verfälscht und aus dem Kontext gerissen sind bzw. Wesentliches verschweigen. Die Autorin stellt dar, wie die Enttrümmerung der deutschen Städte tatsächlich stattgefunden hat. Meist waren professionelle Firmen mit technischem Großgerät und Fachkräften die Hauptakteure bei der Trümmerräumung. Und sie zeigt, wie der Mythos Trümmerfrau mit all seinen Facetten entstanden ist. Die Grundlagen für den Mythos der Trümmerfrau wurde bereits in der unmittelbaren Nachkriegszeit gelegt. Eine Analyse der zeitgenössischen Presseerzeugnisse von 1945 bis 1949 legt die dabei entworfenen Bilder offen und fragt nach dem Ursprung des Trümmerfrauen-Begriffs. Die Traditionslinien der Trümmerfrauen reichen in der DDR bis ins Jahr 1945 zurück und sind seitdem niemals abgebrochen, sondern kontinuierlich gepflegt worden. Die lange und stabile Tradierung der Trümmerfrau in der Erinnerungskultur der DDR trug somit wesentlich dazu bei, dass sich aus den getrennten und zum Teil diametral gegenüberliegenden Erinnerungssträngen der BRD und der DDR schließlich der gesamtdeutsche Erinnerungsort der Trümmerfrau flechten ließ."

Exclusion and inequitable access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services and opportunities are major concerns to development practitioners. The job of providing water for the household invariably falls on women, often at the expense of their education, income-earning opportunities and social, cultural and political involvement. This book aims to unpack the key elements of the WASH-gender nexus, examine these and recommend ways ahead for improved gender outcomes and WASH impact in India.
