Stage women, 1900–50 explores the many ways in which women conceptualised, constructed and participated in networks of professional practice in the theatre and performance industries between 1900 and 1950. A timely volume full of original research, the book explores women’s complex negotiations of their agency over both their labour and public representation, and their use of personal and professional networks to sustain their careers. Including a series of case studies that explore a range of well-known and lesser-known women working in theatre, film and popular performance of the period. The volume is divided into two connected parts. ‘Female theatre workers in the social and theatrical realm’ looks at the relationship between women’s work – on- and offstage – and autobiography, activism, technique, touring, education and the law. Part II, ‘Women and popular performance’, focuses on the careers of individual artists, once household names, including Lily Brayton, Ellen Terry, radio star Mabel Constanduros, and Oscar-winning film star Margaret Rutherford. Overall, the book provides new and vibrant cultural histories of women’s work in the theatre and performance industries of the period.

The objective of this project is to provide the necessary understanding about the matching between the knowledge access and learning needs on one side, and the will of sharing or exchanging the professional expertise on the other side.

The idea consists of building a digital platform, namely “R&K”, as a sharing and collaborative pool for professional interactions.

This project presents a focus on literature reviews regarding the collaborative platforms. It sheds the light on different definitions and on practical methods of building and analyzing digital sharing platforms. Furthermore, it conducts several practical approaches to get the necessary data and resources contributing to the realization of the platform’s strategy.

This work provides a business plan for the potential platform, starting with an action plan regrouping the different tasks to be achieved. It also presents the necessary benchmark of the different existing exchange platforms to know better the market opportunity and to define the best market stance of the platform “R&K”. 

The project regroups both quantitative and qualitative studies combined with interviews with professionals to get a closer look on different aspects regarding the subject. These practices led to simulate a client web experience, by creating a virtual prototype that helps to present clearly the different functionalities and particularities of the platform.

In addition, this work shows how this type of exchange platforms contributes to the ethical and sustainable development.

Finally, this work concludes the overall practices by showing their results and the respective interpretations leading to future researches.

Women Police examines the professional roles, identities, activities and everyday experiences of women employed within the UK police service since the First World War against a backdrop of social and cultural change.As the first in-depth historical study of women's involvement in uniform, plain-clothes and undercover policing in the period before formal integration with male officers in the 1970s, it charts the relationship between gender, surveillance and penal-welfare strategies. For much of the twentieth century women police played a 'specialist' role in the detection and prevention of child abuse and neglect, the investigation of sexual violence and, in London, the regulation of prostitution. The book shows how women officers fashioned their own 'feminine' occupational culture and style of working in relation to male colleagues, other professionals and the women and children they encountered. Jackson concludes by examining experiences at the end of the twentieth century, comparing and contrasting the differing concepts of 'equality' that have shaped women's involvement in the police service.
