Are there only forces opposing women’s equality that aim to subvert women’s advancement, or are defensive strategies employed as well? What has been the offensive response from women and supportive groups of women?

Abstract:

Since the mid-twentieth century, the United States has seen a striking shift in the gender dynamics of higher educational attainment as women have come to earn college degrees at higher rates than men. Women have also made significant strides in terms of socioeconomic status and political engagement. What explains the progress that American women have made since the 1960s? While many point to the feminist movement as the critical turning point, this book makes the case that women’s movement toward first-class citizenship has been shaped not only by important societal changes but also by the ac

Abstract:

Some scholars have argued that Cavendish was a feminist or proto-feminist. This chapter argues that Cavendish’s views on gender were actually quite conservative. Cavendish thought natural norms should guide people’s choices, and she believed women were naturally inferior to men. While Cavendish’s natural philosophy entails that natures are not fixed and that women are free to act differently than Nature prescribes, this chapter argues that Cavendish thought that violating gender norms would be irregular, unnatural, and a source of social instability. She believed women should conform to tradit

Abstract:

This essay examines conflicts concerning sex, sexuality, and gender within Black churches. Black churches are American Protestant churches with a predominantly Black leadership and congregation. Often serving the oppressed and underprivileged, Black churches have a history not only of providing for the spiritual needs of Black Americans, but also of fighting for social justice. Increasingly, controversies have begun to emerge within these churches, about gender equality, HIV/AIDS and safer sex education, and, perhaps the most controversial, about homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

It explores how the adaptation to violence profoundly changes gender roles within family structures.

Though female participation tends to increase during conflict, this participation is restricted to low-skilled jobs, and decreases again post-conflict. Due to social and economic constraints, women struggle to meaningfully raise their so

Gender was a critical factor in the Islamic tradition, especially in its law. That law was shaped by the Qur'an, the practice of Muhammad and his companions as known through hadith, the status of women in Arabia at the rise of Islam, but even more by the customs and attitudes of people living in those regions outside Arabia conquered by the early Muslim Arabs. From them, Muslims adopted practices segregating and secluding women. These practices and the misogynist attitudes behind them confirmed in Islamic law a gendered hierarchy of rights, although particular social circumstances might mitiga

Abstract:

This chapter compares secular and religious influences on evolving gender roles and norms in two long-standing democratically governed countries: Bangladesh and Senegal. A broadly moderate and tolerant character of Islam and generally constructive political engagement between political and religious leaders explain the relative success of these democratic institutions. Religious leaders have generally acquiesced in, if not actively supported, developments such as education for girls and health policies, but tensions have arisen with regard to family law, microcredit, and industrial employment.

Gender-based sexual violence is a widespread public health problem affecting people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds. Although both women and men experience sexual trauma across countries and contexts (e.g., military vs. civilian), prevalence rates of sexual trauma are higher among women, and women and girls may often be targeted due to their sex and rigidly held beliefs about gender roles. Experiences of sexual violence can have a myriad of negative outcomes for survivors, including implications for mental health and physical health difficulties. The content of this book encompasses a

However, changing social roles allowed for women to adopt elocutionary performance as a mode of expression. Women’s educations at elocution schools allowed them undertake careers as professional performers and teachers.

During the rise of the modern religious right in the 1970s and 1980s, nationally prominent evangelical women played integral roles in shaping the priorities of this movement and mobilizing its supporters.
