On Modern Women and Their Rights
Author: Carmen de BurgosPublisher: Escribana Books
ISBN: 9781940075624
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
In this book, Carmen de Burgos elaborates extensive and erudite arguments to counter the anti-feminist assertions that female difference leads of necessity to inferiority. She challenges the phrenological definition of women as intellectually inferior to men by bringing to bear recent findings which point to the fallacy of a direct relationship between the size of the brain and an individual's intelligence. She refutes the notion that women are by nature, due to their nervous system, more volatile and passionate than men by highlighting the numbers of crimes of passion committed by men as opposed to women, and noting that it is men who start wars and abuse their mates. Burgos also provides a historical overview of women's participation in important historical and cultural movements. This volume has been carefully edited and translated by professor Gabriela Pozzi and Keith Watts from Grand Valley State University in Michigan.

Anti Oppressive Social Work Theory and Practice
Author: Lena DominelliPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1403914001
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
This book, by one of the leading theorists of social work, tackles a subject of crucial importance to students and practitioners alike: how social workers can enable their clients to challenge and transcend the manifold oppressions that disempower them (whether through poverty, disability, mental illness, etc.). It moves from a discussion of social work's purpose and ambitions to an exposition of theory and, from there, to the practice arenas of working with individuals, in groups, within organisations, and within a wider social and political context.
