Amorosa, Paolo. "Pioneering International Women’s Rights? The US National Woman’s Party and the 1933 Montevideo Equal Rights Treaties." European Journal of International Law 30, no. 2 (May 2019): 415–37. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ejil/chz025.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Histories of equal rights for women in international law normally begin with post-World War II initiatives. Such an approach leaves out two treaties signed at the 1933 Montevideo Pan-American Conference, the Equal Nationality Treaty and the Equal Rights Treaty, which remain forgotten among international lawyers. By reconstructing their inception and intellectual background, this article aims to raise awareness about debates on international law among feminist activists in the interwar years. In turn, the focus on activist work allows for the recovery of the contribution of women to the development of the discipline in that seminal period, a contribution usually obfuscated by men’s predominance in diplomatic and academic roles. By outlining the contribution of two key promoters of the Montevideo treaties – Doris Stevens and Alice Paul of the National Woman’s Party – the article takes a step towards the re-inclusion of women’s rights activists within the shared heritage of international law and its history.

Full textAbstract:
Article depicted woman’s difficulties in maintaining her life as well as her aggressiveness in the patrilineal society in Chinese feudal time. Article analyzed Song Lian’s bad fate. She was the main character of qi qie chenqun novel, written by Su Tong. Article analysis consisted of three parts. The first part described Song Lian’s background of life and her becoming a mistress. The second part indicated Song Lian’s attacking behavior to other woman because of defending her life. His third part analyzed some causes that made Song Lian did not survive in life. It can be concluded that the fact, Song Lian is able to be survive but she decides to be a mistress caused by both personal and o social reasons. Song Lian’s attacking other woman is caused by her anger representing her unsuccessful life. Principally, Song Lian’s failure in the feudal life is caused by her unsuccessful in becoming a respected woman. If she had been a respected woman, she would have also competed with other women in achieving a better life.

Full textAbstract:
As part of a wider study of young suicide attempters' unmet service needs, a suicidal woman diagnosed as catatonic schizophrenic told her story in a state mental hospital. Her account in this case study revealed much about her life history, suicide career, problems of living, needs for help, and perceptions of relevant systems. The patient's diagnosis and readmissions seemed inappropriate. Regarded as a chronic schizophrenic, she experienced therapeutic nihilism in the hospital and benign neglect in the community. Accepting the expectation of not getting well reinforced helplessness and hopelessness. A proposed model would use parts of the patient's story for preventive intervention regarding suicidal behavior and improving her social competence, social networks, and support systems. A starting point could be her eating disorder, obesity, derogatory self-image, and related substance abuse and psychological problems. Patient perceptions of needs and priorities can help systems involved plan and deliver appropriate services.

It was during my early years in high school (in Kenya), that I was first exposed to the idea that far away in the Americas lived people who were black. I was greatly fascinated by this idea. Until then, history was just another mundane class that focused on Europeans colonizing Africa and large parts of the rest of the world. Because the syllabus did not include the stories of the real makers of African History—the Africans themselves—as a young African student I found the learning experience to be fairly alienating. Part of the materials covered in class included David Livingstone’s three missionary journeys. No effort was made to bring to the student’s awareness that the caravans of the so-called “slaves” that Livingstone stumbled on in the interior of Africa were Africans like ourselves.

Full textAbstract:
Horace, Odes 3.27 consists of two relatively distinct parts: a long farewell to a woman named Galatea, and an even longer retelling of the myth of Europa. Europa's story is staged as an analogy to Galatea's situation (v. 25 sic et Europe…) but the apparently awkward comparison has long failed to satisfy readers. This paper reconsiders the poem in the light of a recent development in imperial geography, the transformation of Galatia in Asia Minor into a vast new Roman province in 25 BCE, and examines some of the implications of the proposed affinity between Galatea and Galatia.

Full textAbstract:
During a debate on the franchise reform bill in the Austrian Reichsrat on 12 September 1906, the Czech National Socialist Party deputy Václav Choc demanded that suffrage be extended to women as well as men. Otherwise, Choc asserted, the women of Austria would be consigned to the same status as “criminals and children.” Choc was certainly not the only Austrian parliamentarian to voice his support for votes for women during the debates on franchise reform. However, his party, the most radical of all the Czech nationalist political factions, was unique in that it not only included women's suffrage in its official program, as the Social Democrats had done a decade earlier, but also worked hard to change the political status of women in the Monarchy while the Social Democrats generally paid only lip service to this goal. Moreover, Choc and his colleagues in the National Socialist Party helped change the terms of the debate about women's rights by explicitly linking the “woman question” to the “national question” in ways entirely different from the prevailing discourse of liberalism infin-de-siècleAustria. In the last decades of the nineteenth century, liberal reformers, whether German or Czech, tried to mold the participation of women in political life to fit the liberal view of a woman's “proper” role in society. By contrast, the radical nationalists who rose to prominence in Czech political culture only after 1900, attempted to recast the debate over women's rights as central to their two-pronged discourse of social and national emancipation, while at the same time pressing for the complete democratization of Czech political life at all levels, not merely in the imperial parliament. In so doing, and with the active but often necessarily covert collaboration of women associated with the party, these radical nationalists helped extend the parameters of the debate over the place Czech women had in the larger national society.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background: Calcium absorption efficiency is a more important determinant of calcium balance than calcium intake itself. The sources of variability in absorptive performance are only partly elucidated. Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between body size and calcium absorption efficiency. Design and Setting: Metabolic studies were performed on an inpatient metabolic unit in an academic health sciences center. Subjects: One hundred seventy-eight women, with an average age of 50.2 yr, were studied from one to five times and yielded an aggregate data set containing 633 individual studies. Methods: Calcium absorption fraction was measured by the dual-tracer method. Observed values were expressed as residuals from predicted values for each woman’s actual calcium intake, using the previously published relationship between intake and absorption. Results: Absorption residuals were significantly positively correlated with height, weight, and surface area, and after adjusting for estrogen status, these body size variables accounted for approximately 4% of the total variability. Conclusion: The magnitude of the effect is such that a woman 1.8 m in height would absorb 30+% more calcium from a given intake than a woman 1.4 m tall.

Allman, Jean. "Rounding up Spinsters: Gender Chaos and Unmarried Women in Colonial Asante." Journal of African History 37, no. 2 (July 1996): 195–214. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0021853700035192.
Full textAbstract:
Between 1929 and 1932 in a number of villages and towns throughout rural Asante, chiefs were ordering the arrest of all women who were over the age of fifteen and not married. A woman was detained until she spoke the name of a man whom she would agree to marry and the man in question paid a release fee. If the man refused, he too was imprisoned or fined up to £5. If he agreed, he paid a small marriage fee to the woman's parents and one bottle of gin. Based on the correspondence of colonial officials, customary court records and the life histories and reminiscences of women who were among the spinsters caught, this article explores gender and social change in colonial Asante by dissecting and contextualizing the round-up of unmarried women. It seeks to understand this unusual episode in direct state intervention into the negotiating of marriage and non-marriage as part of the general chaos in gender relations that shook Asante in the years between the two World Wars. This chaos, often articulated in the language of moral crisis was, more than anything, about shifting power relationships. It was chaos engendered by cash and cocoa, by trade and transformation. From 1921 to 1935, with cocoa well-established in many parts of Asante, women's roles in the cash economy were changing and diversifying. Many wives were making the move from being the most common form of exploitable labour during the initial introduction of cocoa to themselves exploiting new openings for economic autonomy. That women were beginning to negotiate their own spaces within the colonial economy precipitated a profound crisis in conjugal obligations in Asante - a crisis requiring drastic measures. The rounding up of unmarried women was one of several weapons used by Asante's chiefs in the struggle to reassert control over women's productive and reproductive labour.

Full textAbstract:
Women have been the “Second Sex” for far too long and there are parts of the world where the patriarchy still has the noose of suppression hanging around women’s necks. In India, women are treated like goddesses as long as they don’t turn their backs on the ideals of Sita and Savitri; the epitome of self-sacrifice, tolerance, endurance, and blind loyalty towards the men in their life. The New Woman in Shobhaa De’s novels is conscious and well aware of what’s been done to her and is concerned with her personal growth. The research further forays into the comprehension of the insights the New Woman has and how she turns her life around for her betterment through the power of ‘Consciousness Raising’. Catherine McKinnon’s piece on ‘Consciousness Raising’ talks about the radicalization, internalization, and oppression of the women. In the paper, De’s novels Starry Nights and Socialite Evenings would be analyzed through the lens of McKinnon’s views.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Choriocarcinoma is a rare disease with varying incidence in different parts of the world. Asian, American Indian and Africans are quoted to be at a higher risk. There are no epidemiological data from Middle East and hence authors studied the prevalence of choriocarcinoma in Oman, a Middle East nation with a high parity.Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, observational study done at tertiary care hospital; Royal Hospital from Jan 2010 to Dec 2019. Since all women are referred to a single center from all over the country, authors believe all cases are included over ten years.Results: There were 22 patients and the prevalence were 1 in 36966 live births. The main presenting symptom was abnormal uterine bleeding and all were gestational type of choriocarcinoma. Median gravidity was 6 and median parity was 5. Almost 80 % received chemo as their risk scoring was more than 7 and one woman died.Conclusions: The prevalence of choriocarcinoma was much similar to Europe and USA though the median gravidity and parity was high. Clinical features were comparable to the literature and management protocols were as per international recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
In Arab culture the mother comes closer than any other image to representing womanly perfection. The word ‘mother’ has no negative connotations in that culture, in contradistinction to ‘woman’. A woman who attains the status of mother thus obtains a kind of legitimacy in the male-oriented societies of the Middle East. Palestinian national poet Mahmoud Darwish describes the relationship he had with his mother in childhood as equivocal. He thought that his mother hated him; however, when he was arrested for the first time in Israel, at the age of sixteen, he came to feel that he was her favourite son. As a result of this relationship in childhood Darwish in his poetry gave expression to his lost childhood happiness and used it to compensate for the historical and political circumstances which encompassed him at every stage of his poetic career. The image of the mother in Darwish's poetry can be divided into five parts: his actual mother, the communal mother, mother earth, mother as cultural identity, and mother as poem.

The year 2017 is an important centenary for women in the Church. In 1917, in the darkness of World War I, a woman was ordained as a Congregational Minister for the first time in Britain. She was not a Congregationalist but a Presbyterian by upbringing. She would go on to serve a small church in one of the poorest parts of London, yet she was highly educated and from an upper middle-class family. She was a pacifist, a feminist, a wife, mother and someone of deep faith. Constance Coltman’s ordination was a quiet event which attracted little attention at the time but which continues to have an effect even today. This article outlines and considers the historical, ecclesial and personal contexts within which Constance Coltman’s ordained ministry began.

AbstractIn the 1980s, Canada went from having one of the lowest levels of female representation in its national legislature to having one of the highest among countries with single-member district electoral systems. The authors examine the common assertion that this increase was largely due to the surprising Progressive Conservative landslide in the 1984 federal election. By simulating plausible alternative election results they find there would have been a substantial increase in the number of women in the parliament, regardless of how the vote split in 1984. The simulations are followed by probit analyses for 1980, 1984 and 1988 which examine what factors affected the probability a major-party candidate would be a woman and what factors affected the probability that a successful candidate would be a woman.

The change was initiated by Vietnamese Catholics in southern California, who then exported the Vietnamized image to Catholic communities in Vietnam and other parts of the world. Today, the image of Our Lady of La Vang has become a global representation of the Virgin Mary as an Asian woman

Full textAbstract:
The conditions for marriage under the prewar law in Vojvodina were numerous and more complex than in our contemporary law. In the prevailing part of Vojvodina in that time there was in effect the Hungarian Family Law Act from 1894 by which civil marriage was introduced and religious differences were abolished as a marriage impediment. Religious form of marriage was still in effect in Srem and in those parts of Vojvodina which were before unification under Austrian jurisdiction (Military Border). Cohabitation was not recognized and had no family law effects. Legal status of the children born out of wedlock was much worse than the legal status of the children born in wedlock. Discrimination on the ground of sex was a rule, not only in the law of Vojvodina, but also in other parts of The Kingdom of Yugoslavia. For example, women could get married only with the dispensation of the minister of justice, at the age of 16, while men could get married at 18. Woman was subordinate to her husband and could legally represent only her children born out of wedlock. She could exceptionally be the legal representative of her children born in wedlock.

The present research was conducted to examine individual differences in responses to overt and coven measures of sexism. First, 25 women and 16 men rated the negative content of sexist statements in order to create a covert and an overt measure of sexism. Next, an additional group of 35 men and-74 women responded to these measures in order to determine the relationships between sex, educational maturity, political party affiliation, participation in a gender awareness course, willingness to help a woman in the future and covert and overt sexism. Main effects for sex of respondent, and enrollment in a gender awareness course were hypothesized such that men, and students not enrolled in a gender awareness course would score higher than women, and students in a gender awareness course on both measures with scores for the covert measure being highest. Additionally, sex by political party affiliation, sex by educational maturity, and sex by willingness to help a woman in the future interactions were hypothesized such that conservative men, men with less educational maturity, and men unwilling to help a woman in the future would score higher than women in each case. Once again for each interaction men's scores for the coven items were hypothesized to be highest. Results obtained partially supported the hypotheses. Main effects for sex, and willingness to help a woman in the future, and a sex by enrollment in a gender awareness course interaction occurred. Results are discussed in terms of existing research and the lack of awareness of sexism in current society.

Travel writing soared in the Western world in the early-modern era with the widening geographical knowledge. This was accompanied by a genre of travel fiction. The present study analyses a short Swedish novella from 1815, Swensken på Timor (The Swede on Timor), “translated” by Christina Cronhjelm from a purported English account. It is a romantic tale of a Swedish sailor who is shipwrecked and is adopted by an indigenous group on the Southeast Asian island Timor, marrying a local woman and converting to Islam. The novella is remarkable for the positive portrayal of indigenous society and to some extent Islam. The article discusses the literary tropes influencing the account, and the partly accurate ethnographic and historical details.

Put simply, hair and clothing make a difference. To phrase the matter another way, the presence of these material and visual forms, or alternatively their absence from the human body, embodies potent cultural meanings and has concrete effects in the social world. To be sure, more-hidden body parts may lurk below the surface that signal our membership in certain social categories—gender, to give a prime example. In practical terms, however, when we see strangers walking toward us from a distance, we are in the habit of assuming they are a man or a woman not because we have observed their genitalia (it would be strange indeed if that were the case) but rather because we recognize and extract meaning from a more readily visible set of identity markers—primarily clothing-related (sartorial) and hair-related (tonsorial)—whose semiotic rules must be learned culturally and which vary across space and time.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents an unusual case of appendicitis in pregnancy complicated by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The novel coronavirus has affected the way medicine is practised across most parts of the world with over 160 000 000 global cases to date. Tackling management of these cases is more complex when other pathological processes are ongoing. Appendicitis is a common occurrence in pregnancy, with most obstetric centres seeing about one or two cases a year. Though maternal morbidity and mortality are relatively unimpacted by this event, fetal loss and preterm labour are common sequelae. This case involves a 35-year-old woman presenting in her third trimester with abdominal pain and who went on to be diagnosed with concurrent appendicitis and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although spinal anaesthesia would be most appropriate as it avoids aerosol generation, general anaesthetic techniques were indicated due to thrombocytopenia in this case. She underwent a successful appendicectomy, although preterm delivery was indicated as a result of maternal and fetal concerns.

Full textAbstract:
This review of Thierry Mugler: Couturissime approaches the exhibition through a feminist art-historical lens and attends to the various ways that both Mugler’s clothing and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts’ curatorial team has framed and constructed the powerful, threatening woman as a complex figure who is hard, cold, sensual, strong, hard-working, and spectacular, among many other valences. The exhibition, which had its world premiere at the MMFA in March 2019, is organized as a fashion opera in six acts, and each room illuminates disparate yet interconnected parts of Mugler’s body of work: his costumes for a 1985 performance of Macbeth in Paris; the decadent and excessive clothing worn and worshipped by past and present celebrities; the black-and-white power dressing that Helmut Newton and others have canonized in fashion photography; the astounding creations inspired by insects and reptiles; and finally, the cyborgian fembots that have been presented in both Vogue and music videos. The inclusion of photographs and videos — not a new strategy in blockbuster fashion exhibitions — is essential to the success of Thierry Mugler: Couturissime, as they reveal that while these clothes are works of art, they were made to be worn and mobilized. Although not explicitly a feminist exhibition, for viewers who are looking for feminist, political inspiration wherever they can find it Mugler’s warrior women and formidable clothing — whether made of metal, latex or feathers — provide a powerful reminder that clothing is just one of the many weapons in our arsenal.

Hepatitis E is a common, mainly water-borne hepatotropic virus prevalent mainly in Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Central America. In the eastern part of India epidemics of acute hepatitis E are well reported. Hepatitis E commonly presents as self-limiting acute viral hepatitis among young adults, except for some critical clinical complications during pregnancy. In epidemiological research, subclinical acute hepatitis E infection is also reported from different parts of the world, including developed nations such as the USA (predominantly in the population aged >60 years). Though primarily hepatotropic, in the literature there are reports of rare extrahepatic manifestation of acute hepatitis E. Here we present an elderly lady with acute hepatitis E who primarily presented with acute myocarditis.

The author's views on the dietetics of normal childbirth (mainly, not in clinics, but in private practice) boil down to the following. If possible, the woman in labor should have a shared bath. Recognizing that there are microorganisms on the external genital organs of each woman in labor, he considers their disinfection at the beginning of labor to be unnecessary, since it would only make sense if possible to apply an aseptic bandage to the disinfected parts, which, for obvious reasons, is not feasible; in view of this, he advises at the beginning of labor to make only a thorough washing of the external genital organs and surrounding parts with well-boiled (depleted) water and soap, repeated after each urination or excrement.

One week before the 1908 U.S. presidential election, the women of the Hesperian Literary Society at the State University of Iowa (SUI, now the University of Iowa) presented “a unique program” in the form of a mock political rally. Imagining that they lived in a town where women had “been honored by the legislature with the ballot,” the “Hep” members divided into clubs that supported various candidates and causes. Several women formed the Utopian Club, which promoted William Jennings Bryan's presidential candidacy, while the members who comprised the Women's Culture Club supported William Howard Taft. Heps who pretended to belong to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) argued for prohibition. Portraying the era's political dynamism, other Heps represented anarchists, socialists, and independents. A woman from each group spoke in support of her cause in front of a crowd that included “a lot of” college men. SUI senior and Hep member Ione Mulnix described the rally in a letter to her parents: “[T]he speeches were of course very ridiculous. The reasons why each was the best were very feminine and would hardly convince aman.” She explained that the Utopian Club representative “argued for Bryan because he was the best looking.” The Heps ended their program by setting loose a toy mouse, causing the actors to scream and scatter. Finding the fictitious rally “awfully funny,” Mulnix noted that the Hep women “acted their parts to perfection” and that the college men “seemed to appreciate it immensely.”

How Is Home,1 a Performance Autoethnography in Four Parts,2 is a contemplative, interpretive, account on the nature of home. It is a multiple-voiced work. The nature of the empiricism used in this piece works to connect ethnographic detail in a meaningful way, toward the end of a telling of the production of emotions, symbol, and affect combined to display a sense of the way a life is built and undertaken through subjectivity. This work enables a glance at how notions of identity are formed and encountered, then rewoven through understanding, toward a libratory end. This story is my own, extended through imagination, a story of understanding my own identity as an Iraqi–Iranian–Jewish–American woman in post 9/11 United States. Ideas of Gaston Bachelard, Gloria Anzaldua, and Homi Bhabha are used to enrich and prop up my notion of home in this piece, which is always shifting, and momentary. Disciplinary oppression occurs in many ways in the present day United States, infused by the wily discourses produced through neoliberal global corporate machinations, tinged by its large events’ (wars, economic depressions, bank bailouts, austerity measures, etc.) impact on our systems of affect. In certain ways, the languages and actions in this new/old world can leave people with very little. This work works, through meaningful interventions in autoethnography, to correct that, as the meanings of our everyday lives, whether in the present moment or of memory is where much can be mended. I welcome you, dear reader, to join me, in my place, at home.

Full textAbstract:
India’s proposed 2016 Bill on the regulation of surrogacy is its latest attempt to respond to criticism regarding the lack of protection given to those entering into a commercial surrogacy arrangement. Adaptive preference theorists presume that a decision made in an oppressive environment, which is inconsistent with the woman’s well-being, is not autonomous and that she is therefore exploited. This article challenges this presumption, arguing that some decisions may be suspected as adaptive preferences but they may nevertheless be autonomous. However, it is contended that even if the choice is autonomous, there may still be exploitation given the imbalance of bargaining power and the nature of the service. Rather than a blanket ban on commercial surrogacy, it would be better to reduce exploitative conditions by establishing adequate protection and safeguards for the commercial surrogate and others who are party to the arrangement.

Full textAbstract:
This article consists of two parts. The first part focuses on the thoughts of the Pope, which we can treat as the author’s context and which is necessary for analysing the papal poetic meditations. The analyses are included in the second part. The context is made up of statements from the early period of the pontificate, which should be considered the most important in the teachings of the Holy Father about women. I am referring here to the following editions of John Paul II’s teachings: Vol. 1: He created man and woman. Christ refers to the “origin”: John Paul II’s theology of the body, Vol. 4: The Sacrament and Vol. 8: Familiaris Consortio: On the Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World, as well as the apostolic letter Mulieris Dignitatem: On the Dignity and Vocation of Women on the Occasion of the Marian Year. The aforementioned texts are the relevant basis for studying the papal poetic output, because, like the poetry of John Paul II, they capture woman in the metaphysical, spiritual and divine categories. Such an interpretational basis is not provided by feminism or even John Paul II’s project of new feminism, whose main and laudable concern was to restore woman’s personal dignity in the social dimension. The most important views on women in the papal teaching refer to the Book of Genesis, to the descriptions of the creation of the human being – a woman and a man who become, in the words of the Holy Father, one body, one heart and one spirit. It is in this paradigm, in the “sacrament of creation” (in union with a man) that a woman attains the highest status in the metaphysical and personalistic dimensions. This is confirmed by the meditation in Part 2 of the Roman Triptych. However, the universality of this anthropological paradigm means that it also applies to other texts whose protagonists are women themselves: Mary Magdalene, the Samaritan woman, Veronica, or the girl disappointed in love. The current study is limited to poetry. Undoubtedly, of great importance from the point of view of women’s issues is the interpretation of the drama In front of the Jeweller’s Shop: A Meditation on the Sacrament of Matrimony, Passing on Occasion into a Drama. This play will become the subject of a separate study.

Indonesia is the fourth largest contributor to the population in the world after China, India and the United States. The 2017 IHDS showed the total fertility rate (TFR) was 2.4 children per woman. One program to reduce population growth rates and TFR is through the Family Planning (KB) program. This study aims to determine the relationship of education, age and parity to the choice of contraceptive methods for long and short-terms in Tanjung Anom Village, Salaman Subdistrict, Magelang Regency, Central Java Province. This research is descriptive analytic with cross sectional method. The data collection was done in October 2015. The study sample was women of childbearing age who used contraception in both long and short terms, as many as 46 people. The research instrument used was a questionnaire. Data was analyzed by univariate and bivariate. The result of the study showed that there was no significant relationship among education, age and parity towards the choice of both long and non-long contraception methods. The selection of contraceptive method is not only influenced by education, age and parity, but also by Socio-Demographic factors, Socio-Psychological factors, and health services

Full textAbstract:
J. Stitt Wilson, mayor of Berkeley from 1911 to 1913, supported women's suffrage because he believed it would lead to a revaluation of the feminine and maternal values of cooperation and care and, along with the labor movement, provide the basis for creation of a socialist society that would embody the true values of Christianity. A rare example of a male activist and intellectual for whom women's equality was fundamental to his beliefs rather than auxiliary to them, Wilson drew his views from a mixture of Social Gospel; the labor movement; feminism; and socialism, particularly the maternalist socialism developed in parts of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the settlement house movement. Perhaps his most intellectually creative moment came when he applied Henry George's analysis of urban land values to a socialist and feminist vision of the city as a “social mother.” His election and work as mayor illustrate the overlap between the urban socialist and progressive social reform programs, while his failure to win any further elections reflects the divisions between them over the nature of capitalism.

Resumen: En los discursos decimonónicos de la joveny romántica «Generación del 37» argentina, la figurade la mujer ha sido depositaria tanto de los pilares delprogreso y la civilización (la mujer como hacedora/modificadora de las costumbres), como los de la barbariey la sinrazón (la mujer como pasión). Sin embargo, noeran discursos protofeministas; por el contrario, todosellos estaban ligados a la formación de la idea de nacióny la nacionalidad. Por lo tanto, emerge aquí una figura«epistemológica» que nos permitiría comprender, desdeuna arista poco estudiada, una parte de la historiaargentina. ¿Qué funciones cumplió dicha figura en losalbores de la construcción de la idea de nación? Y, ¿cómose ha interpretado actualmente los escritos pertenecientesa aquellos hombres? Ambos interrogantesrecorren el presente trabajo, cuyas respuestas circulanpor los intersticios de los distintos escritos de la época.Auque en los espacios políticos de aquella época, lamujer estaba visible por su ausencia, creemos que escribirmujer forma parte de las prácticas discursivas que dieronlugar a la formación de la nación y la ciudadanía enArgentina. Pretendemos observar a la ‘mujer’ y a la‘nación’ -qua conceptos políticos imbricados- en unadifícil relación de inclusión/exclusión.Palabras clave: Nación, figura de la mujer, Generacióndel 37, historia de Argentina, siglo XIXAbstract: In the XIXth century discourses of the Youngand romantic «Generation of ‘37" in Argentina, womanhas been considered as both a pillar of progress andcivilization (woman as maker and modifier of customs)and as a source of barbaric unreason (woman aspassion). However, these discourses were not protofeminist,but rather were linked to the forging of the ideaof nation and nationality. Therefore, we see anepistemological figure emerging that would allow us tounderstand one side of Argentine history that has notbeen much studied. What functions did this figure fulfillin the dawn of the idea of nation? And ¿how have thewritings by men been interpreted? Both questions runthrough the present work, and the answers can be foundwithin the different writings of the era. Although womenwere absent from political arenas at the time, we believethat writing about women them helped give shape tonation and citizenship in Argentine. We will observe theimbrications of ‘woman’ and ‘nation’ in their difficultrelation of inclusion/exclusion.Key words: Nation, image of women, Generation of ’37,Argentine history, XIX th century

Full textAbstract:
The article is an attempt to carry out a linguistic analysis of the image of woman included in selected works of the Polish literature from the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It presents representative models of women typical of that time: a type of a romantic lover, a positivistic liberated woman, and Young Poland’s femme fatale, as exemplified in Poganka by Narcyza Żmichowska, Szalona by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski and Pożegnanie jesieni by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, in order to discover features essential to create social patterns of gender perception. The article has been divided into three parts. Each part is a separate analysis of linguistic devices that serve to create the image of the fair sex in a given epoch as well as indicate the realization of a stereotypical model of femininity. This model determines basic roles of woman in the world – as wife, mother and lover.

The World Picture and the View of Man in Grundtvig’s Hymns.By Peter Balslev-ClausenThis lecture for the Degree in Divinity at the Faculty of Theology in Copenhagen is a summary of the writer’s studies in the hymns, written by Grundtvig over the years from 1810 to 1872, with a view to determining the overall view of human life and Christianity that constitutes their background. The lecture discusses central concepts in these hymns, taking the point of departure in the word, i.e., speech as expressing the fact that man was created in God’s image. Hymn-singing is seen as man’s reply to God’s address, partly in the church service, partly in the daily prayers, as it is evidenced by the hymn "Congregation of God, Sing Secret Songs of Praise to Our Creator" (Guds menighed, syng for vor skaber i l.n (1847)). This hymn was composed during Grundtvig’s work on a collection of popular ballads, and is modelled on the ballad about hr. Villemand, who, by playing his harp, forces the merman of the river to give his bride back to him.The lecture concentrates on the Mosaic-Christian view of the world and of man, considered, consciously, by Grundtvig to be the contrast to the scientific picture of the world and idea of man of his own age. It is claimed that the new world-picture as Grundtvig saw it, made impossible any notion of a connection between God and man, heaven and earth, creation and consummation, and that without this connection man would lose his identity and his companionship with others. Grundtvig, accordingly, retained the Biblical calendar.Especially after meeting his second wife, Marie Toft, in 1845, and the breakthrough for congregational singing of his hymns in Vartov Church on Christmas Day the same year, Grundtvig came to think of the woman and the human heart as the essence of human nature, in contrast to the rationalistic concept of man, which Grundtvig regarded as a product of Antichrist.Grundtvig was aware that his picture of the world and his view of man was not acceptable to the majority, at least not in the academic world. But he considered it necessary to maintain it, both for the sake of the Mosaic-Christian way of thinking and the Christian faith.The first five years after the meeting with Marie Toft were a turbulent time of regeneration in Grundtvig’s personal life, as it is reflected for example in the hymn "The Clouds Are Turning Grey, and the Leaves Are Falling" (Skyerne gråner og løvet falder). The crisis resolved itself in a new sense of wholeness in life, which is expressed in the series of adaptations of older hymns which did not acquire their final form until the 1850s, such as "O, Christian Faith" (O Kristelighed), "The Sun Now Shines in All its Splendour" (I al sin glans nu stråler solen) and "The Lord Has Visited His People" (Herren, han har besøgt sit folk).Since even today Grundtvig’s hymns are used as existential expressions of the lives of the congregation, the question arises whether they can still be used when his presuppositions no longer apply. Precisely by his strangeness, Grundtvig insists that his reader and participant in the hymn-singing is entirely responsible for acquiring an existential experience of a hymn, on the basis of the assumptions that belong to each individual and are determined by the time he or she lives in.

SummaryThis article argues that historians have underestimated the importance and complexity of Marxists' engagement with feminism during the introduction of their doctrine into the French socialist movement before the First World War. It examines the ideological discourse of the Parti Ouvrier Français, the embodiment of Marxism in France from 1882 to 1905, in order to reveal the ambiguities and contradictions of the French Marxists' approach to the “woman question” – seeking to explicate the puzzling coincidence in the movement's rhetoric of a firmly feminist commitment to women's rights with an equally intransigent hostility to organized feminism.

Abstract A 43-year-old woman suffered from low back pain and bilateral footdrop. A cisternal myelogram unexpected revealed multiple filling defects in the spinal canal extending from the lower cervical region to the caudal equina. Diagnostic exploration revealed numerous cystic organisms adhering to the spinal cord and nerve roots. Histopathological examination showed these organisms to be proliferative sparganum cestode larvae. Although these cestode larval infections have been reported a dozen times in humans from various parts of the world, this is probably the first reported case of spinal cord infection.

Full textAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this article was to examine childbirth (labor) pain language through an analysis of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) descriptors.METHOD: Language was extracted from 6 studies which used MPQ descriptors (and originally formed part of a larger interpretive review of pain assessment). MPQ descriptors are considered rich language data because they provide insight into the different qualities and dimensions of pain. An applied linguistic approach, which examines language in its real world context (in this instance, childbirth and midwifery) was used to analyze maternal language.FINDINGS: The MPQ descriptors conveyed sensory, affective, evaluative, and miscellaneous dimensions of the labor pain experience. Words were classified according to the semantic category of the descriptors (the associated meanings of pain words), parity, stage of labor, and the location of pain. Generalizations cannot be made from this small sample of maternal language; however, this analysis provides an introduction to maternal MPQ descriptors and gives insight into a possible association between maternal MPQ descriptors and words which may be used to represent other female pain events.CONCLUSION: The descriptors analyzed in this article revealed a rather homogeneous language; yet, they provided insight into the qualities and intensity of labor pain across women of different parity. Pain can be quantified in a numeric-verbal language, but the use of a pain measurement tool alone may lead to assumptions or underestimations of the individual nature of a woman’s labor, which may impact on her pain management. An acknowledgment of a woman’s labor as intimate and emotive is also needed, which is captured in the spontaneous language of her own account of labor.

Introdução: Segundo as orientações do Ministério da Saúde e da Organização Mundial da Saúde, a gestante deve optar pelo parto transpélvico, caso não tenha nenhuma indicação de cesárea. Apesar disso, Brasil é um dos países que mais realiza cesárea no mundo todo, sendo que apenas 15% são realmente necessárias. Objetivo: Realizar um estudo comparativo em relação ao estado clínico da parturiente e do recém-nascido após a realização de parto transpélvico e cesárea. Material e Métodos: Foram coletados dados de 50 gestantes com idade gestacional entre 38 a 40 semanas quando realizaram o parto, através da análise de prontuário e questionário aplicado às puérperas, e contemplando o estado de saúde tanto da puérpera como do recém-nascido. Resultados: Com as informações levantadas, foi traçado um perfil das gestantes. O estudo estatístico não demonstrou significado estatístico na comparação das vias de parto com relação aos seguintes aspectos: ocorrência e intensidade da dor após o parto (P = 0,14), Apgar do 1º minuto (P = 0,73) e Apgar do 5º minuto (P = 0,53). Apenas o tempo de permanência mostrou-se significativo (P = 0,02), sendo encontrado um maior tempo de permanência do parto transpélvico. Conclusão: Apesar de a literatura demonstrar maiores vantagens tanto para a paciente como para o recém-nascido quando realizado o parto transpélvico, o presente estudo não encontrou diferenças significativas entre as duas vias de parto.Palavras Chave: Parto transpélvico, Cesárea, Período pós-parto, Recém-nascido, Estudo comparativo ABSTRACTIntroduction: According to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization, pregnant woman should opt for transpelvic delivery, if she has no indication for cesarean section. Nonetheless, Brazil is one of the most performing cesarean section countries in the world, but only 15% of the cases the method are really needed. Objective: To perform a comparative study regarding the clinical status of parturient and newborn after transpelvic and cesarean delivery. Material and Methods: Data were collected from 50 pregnant women with gestational age between 38 and 40 weeks when they delivered, through analysis of medical records and questionnaire applied to postpartum women and considering the health status of both the postpartum and the newborn. Results: With the information gathered, a profile of the pregnant woman was drawn. The statistical study did not show statistical significance in the comparison of the pathways regarding the following aspects: occurrence and intensity of pain after delivery (P = 0.14), 1st minute Apgar score (P = 0.73) and 5th minute Apgar score (P = 0.53). Only the length of stay was significant (P = 0.02), and a longer time of transpelvic delivery was found. Conclusion: Although the literature demonstrates greater advantages for both the patient and the newborn when performing transpelvic delivery, the present study found no significant differences between the two routes of delivery.Keywords: Transpelvic delivery; Cesarean section; Postpartum period; Infant, newborn; Comparative study

Full textAbstract:
Ideology has always been the most vital apparatus for each government and dominant groups of society to keep their superior position so that every inferior subject could remain obedient and live like a programmed machine that is required to operate according to some fixed and rigid codes. Sometimes these codes are so apparent and tangible in the society that breaking them would result in sheer oppression such as impressment, exile and even execution. However in modern era the controlling and domination are not applied through force and physical attempts yet it does not mean it ceased to exist. The traditional ways of oppression are not extinct; yet they remain in new forms, tools and weapons which in Althusser’s terminology they are called RSA. Nevertheless there is another difference in modern time; it has been attempted to control the minds of people through other less vivid weapons. These weapons could poison the minds of subjects and control and train them in a way that dominant groups want without taking any violent action. This method of controlling mind is ISA in Althusser’s view. The handmaid’s tale (1988) mostly concerns with the ideology of ruling class and the way the ruling class shows the ideology to subjects by force and discourse shapes the way through which suppressed class perceives the world. The main character of this novel who is a woman is oppressed in different ways and her identity and believes are influenced by the ideology of the society consciously and unconsciously. Since the story takes place in Gilead as one small part of the world, it could be symbol of other societies and the analysis of that society can be extended to other parts of the world so this is a microcosmic study.

Impact of sterilization was found to be highest (about 33 per cent births averted) followed by the combined effect of injectables, pills, condoms and all other traditional methods. The combined impact of sterilization and injectables was found to be 0.60 births per woman. The expected numbers of future children would be 3.09 (excluding sterilization), 3.27 (excluding sterilization or injectables), 3.36 (excluding sterilization or injectables or pills), 3.51 (excluding sterilization or injectables or pills or condoms) and 3.97 (non-user) for zero parity women. The combined impact of sterilization and injectables would be 0.60 births per woman.

Full textAbstract:
This article discusses the emergence of the Russian working woman employed in skilled labor from the second half 19th century until the 1930s. In Russia, educated women entered the sphere of socially significant labor during the Great Reforms. The subsequent development largely explains the position of the working woman in modern Russia - hence the topicality of the present paper. Sources for this article are record-keeping documents of tsarist and Soviet institutions, statistical information, press materials as well as memoirs. Among the factors that influenced the formation of the Russian female working class in the pre-revolutionary period were a social movement for the development of female education, the emergence of special vocational schools for women, the Zemstvo reforms, industrialization and, eventually, World War I. The article shows changes in the nature of the employment of women after the 1917 Revolution. The authors document the rapid growth of women’s participation in all spheres of the USSR’s national economy in the 1930s, in particular health care, education, and work in the apparatus of state, party and economic bodies. As a result, during this period the professional traits of the three main types of Soviet female workers were formed: the woman-doctor, the woman-teacher and the womanfunctionary. At the same time, the authors come to the conclusion that Soviet rule brought no fundamental changes in the conditions of everyday life, so that the Soviet woman-intellectual turned out to be a “fighter of two fronts” - labor and domestic.

Background: Ever since orthopaedic surgery was cited as the specialty with the lowest percentage of women, research has geared toward better understanding where lapses occur and ensured that equitable opportunities exist within the field. Purpose/Hypothesis: To analyze the 5-year trend in the academic leadership roles of female versus male orthopaedic surgeons at the AOSSM Annual Meeting. We hypothesized that a nationally representative proportion of female surgeons would hold academic leadership positions and that this figure would increase during the study period. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Publicly available AOSSM Annual Meeting brochures from 2015 to 2019 were analyzed. Moderators and course instructors with doctor of medicine (MD) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) degrees were included. Gender-neutral names were researched as needed for gender clarification. The gender composition of total moderators and total course instructors was calculated and trended over the 5-year period. Statistics from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) in 2017, the median of the study period, were used for comparison with total active sports medicine orthopaedic surgeons. Results: Women represented 5.9% of moderators and course instructors at the AOSSM Annual Meeting from 2015 to 2019. The percentage of female moderators increased from 6.0% in 2015 to 8.6% in 2019, and the percentage of female course instructors increased from 3.4% in 2015 to 5.6% in 2019. After adjusting for dual contributions by a single woman to both roles, we found that 6.7% of total moderators and course instructors over the 5-year study period were women (6.3% in 2015, 7.7% in 2019). This was close to the 6.6% rate of female sports orthopaedic surgeons reported by the AAMC in 2017. Conclusion: Using moderator and instructor involvement at the AAOSM Annual Meetings as a proxy for involvement in academia, we found evidence to support gender parity in the orthopaedic subspecialty of sports medicine. This example of a culture of equity and inclusion may be an encouraging example to cite in recruitment efforts for prospective medical student applicants and endorsing current female surgeons to seek leadership roles in academia.

AbstractAfter its formation in 1910 as a self-governing dominion within the British empire, the Union of South Africa followed a combination of English and Roman-Dutch common laws on abortion that decreed the procedure permissible only when necessary to save a woman’s life. The government continued doing so after South Africa withdrew from the Commonwealth and became a republic in 1961. In 1972 a sensational trial took place in the South African Supreme Court that for weeks placed clandestine abortion on the front pages of the country’s newspapers. Two men, one an eminent doctor and the other a self-taught abortionist, were charged with conspiring to perform illegal abortions on twenty-six white teenagers and young unmarried women. The prosecution of Dr Derk Crichton and James Watts occurred while the National Party government was in the process of drafting abortion legislation and was perceived by legal experts as another test of the judiciary’s stance on the common law on abortion. The trial was mainly intended to regulate the medical profession and ensure doctors ceased helping young white women evade their ‘duty’ to procreate within marriage. Ultimately, the event encapsulated a great deal about elites’ attempt to buttress apartheid culture and is significant for, among other reasons, contributing to the production of South Africa’s extremely restrictive Abortion and Sterilisation Act (1975).

Simone De Beauvoir, France's most famous woman intellectual, was born in paris on 9 January 1908. Exactly one hundred years later, Paris gave her a birthday party: an international conference presided over by another famous woman intellectual, Julia Kristeva. The conference, held during 9–11 January in the remains of a Franciscan convent that the city bequeathed to the University of Paris, attracted a large crowd despite the rainy weather and the drafty Gothic hall, where you had to sit in your winter coat. At the opening and closing sessions, two of Nicolas Sarkozy's female ministers made an appearance; in between, the speakers included celebrities who had known Beauvoir (most notably the maker of the film Shoah, Claude Lanzmann, who was her young lover in the 1950s and who now edits the journal she and Sartre founded, Les temps modernes), well-known writers and journalists, activists in the women's movement who had worked with Beauvoir in the last years of her life, and old friends, who shared their reminiscences, as well as translators of her works and scholars young and old from all over the world. Beauvoir's adopted daughter and literary executor, Sylvie Le Bon de Beauvoir, was in attendance throughout the proceedings; all in all, more than fifty people participated in the program. The first Simone de Beauvoir Prize for Women's Freedom was awarded to two women writers known for their courageous critiques of Islamic fundamentalism: the Somalian Ayaan Hirsi Ali and the Bangladeshi Taslina Nasreen, who could not be there in person but who sent greetings. There were film screenings in the evenings, a “cocktail” at City Hall, and a concluding banquet at La Coupole, where Beauvoir had lunched with Sartre every day for many years.

A violência contra a mulher ainda é uma consequência nefanda presente no mundo. Em áreas de patriarcalismo entrincheirado como Paquistão, Sudão, Senegal, Irã, o corpo da mulher é alvo de agressão constante, cuja argumentação se baseia no tradicionalismo social. Há um intenso debate que envolve o relativismo cultural e a postura ocidental iluminista de liberdade; todavia, mulheres biografadas oriunda dessas comunidades alegam que a violência experienciada, por mais que seja tácita por parte dessas, não era sentida como algo normal ou tradicional. O desejo pela liberdade e o pela justiça perfaziam o imaginário de muitas mulheres vítimas de crimes de honra, muitas das quais se rebelaram contra os maus tratos de seus corpos e tornaram-se ícones da resistência e da luta pela igualdade de gênero, falam-se da paquistanesa Mukhtar Mai e da senegalesa Kady Koita.
ENTRENCHED PATRIARCHALISM AND HONOUR CRIMES: THE HISTORIES OF WOMEN WHO OVERCAME GENDER VIOLENCE AND BECAME ICONS TO HUMAN RIGHTS
Violence against woman is still a terrible consequence present around the world. In several areas where entrenched patriarchalism is real, for example, in Pakistan, Sudan, Senegal, Iran, woman’s body is target to be violated in a constant way. It has been justified by means of social traditionalism. So, this text seeks to explain through women’s biographies who were victims of honor crimes (Pakistani Mukhtar Mai and Senegalese Kady Koita) the violence of gender and its overcoming. The aim is to think of abuses and oppression, which were experienced by these women from communities where the patriarchal essence is still imperative. This discussion lays on biographies, which were read in a hermeneutic In methodological terms, firstly, it is sought to present the meaning of patriarchalism. After this, some biographies will be showed and, finally, thought in the light of theories originated from areas such as gender, violence, cultural relativism and human rights.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the history of the nouns gleðimaður, which is known from Old as well as Modern icelandic, and gleðikona which first occurs in an 18th-century source. Other nominal compounds for men and women that have gleði- as their first member are also introduced. The meaning of these words is compared, as is their usage, in order to test the claim that the words for men normally have a neutral meaning (‘cheerful man, party animal’) but the words for women have a pejorative meaning (‘hussy, prostitute’). The nature of the changes in the history of the gleði-compounds is also discussed, e.g., to what extent borrowing from a foreign language has taken place. Lars-Gunnar Andersson’s categorization of the so-called “ugliness” of words is used for a more detailed definition of the semantic changes. Finally, we touch on the wish to reclaim the word gleðikona that has been observed in the last decades, i.e., to revive the practically forgotten meaning ‘cheerful woman, female party animal’.

This paper explores the emotional world of a recent Mexican immigrant who lives in Los Angeles and is awaiting the results of the amniocentesis she has ambivalently agreed to. She is 45 years old and has given birth to two children with severe disabilities and two who are apparently normal. We focus our analysis on the woman's reactions and feelings during the nine days she spends waiting for the test results. We show that the standard prenatal genetic clinical protocol aimed at providing medical education and requiring professional neutrality and emotional detachment left the woman feeling rejected and subsequently unwilling to seek information or support from her clinicians. We find that while the intent of a protocol of neutrality is to enable patients to make informed decisions without feeling pressure from clinicians, some women want greater emotional engagement. We argue that professional neutrality can inhibit patient-clinician communication, hamper medical education, and ultimately detract from patients' ability to make informed medical choices. / El presente artículo explora el mundo emocional de Rocío, una inmigrante mexicana, quien se encuentra esperando los resultados de una amniocentesis que aceptó hacerse, a pesar de las dudas sobre la credibilidad y utilidad de la misma. Rocío, de 45 años, tenía ya otros hijos, dos con anormalidades severas y dos aparentemente sanos. Centramos nuestro análisis en los sentimientos y reacciones durante los nueve días que transcurren mientras espera el diagnóstico. En este trabajo mostramos cómo la forma de presentar la información médica puede llegar a entorpecer la toma de decisión de un paciente. El protocolo genético tiene por meta proveer información médica manteniendo una cierta distancia profesional y emocional. Estas condiciones hacen que, en nuestro estudio de caso, la paciente se sienta rechazada y sin deseos de acercarse al personal médico, ya sea en busca de apoyo emocional o información que aclararía sus dudas. Creemos que, mientras el objetivo de la neutralidad profesional es asegurar que el paciente decida con los conocimientos adecuados y, a la vez, sin sentirse presionado, algunas mujeres preferirían un mayor acercamiento emocional por parte del personal médico cuando deben decidir sobre pruebas o tratamientos. Creemos que la neutralidad profesional puede llegar a inhibir la comunicación médico-paciente, dificultar la comprensión de la información y, por último, obstaculizar la habilidad de tomar decisiones informadas por parte de los pacientes.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the role that emotion plays in rabbinic interpretations of the law of the captive woman. Discrete “emotional communities” establish “feeling rules” through which they broadcast their ideal emotional world and the values associated with it. Different midrashim, employing rich metaphors, agree that the feeling rule in the law of the captive seeks to elicit disgust from the captor. That emotion emphasizes the otherness of its object and thereby affects the power relations that obtain between subject and object. Midrashic sources disagree, however, over whether the captor’s disgust response will motivate him to jettison the captive. At issue is the identity of the powerful party confronting the captor: a gentile plot that disgust could help him neutralize or an evil inclination which it could not. If the captor marries his captive, he will experience hate, an emotion that will confirm the otherness that he earlier failed to recognize.
