Woman Blooming Out of Gloom
Author: Jayant S. Cherekar
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1618978896
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Woman Blooming out of Gloom is a doctoral thesis that provides an in-depth analysis of the works of Senegalese author Mariama Bâ. By addressing such issues as marriage, polygamy, motherhood, and womanhood, Bâ was able to establish a creative space for herself and use the act of creative writing as a tool for self-affirmation. The underlying theme of most of Bâ's writings is a powerful appeal for the emancipation of women, and African women in particular. This well-crafted and engaging analysis is divided into five chapters; each of which attempts its own in-depth review of separate aspects of Bâ's works. The book ultimately endeavors to take a critical review of contemporary African socio-political reality by proposing a re-reading of Bâ's writings. The author of this book, Dr. Jayant S. Cherekar, was inspired by a sincere desire to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of Bâ's female protagonists. In so doing, the author also attempts to bring into global focus the vast socio-political-cultural realities prevalent in the African world today. Dr. Jayant S. Cherekar is an assistant professor in English who specializes in grammar, literary criticism, and fiction. Prior to this book, he has published research papers in national and international journals. For his next book he plans a comparative analysis of Mariama Bâ with female Indian authors. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JayantSCherekar

A Comparative Perspective of Women’s Economic Empowerment
Author: Meltem Yenilmez
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429628994
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The need for the creation of an enabling political, legal and economic environment for women within Turkey is rising. A growing concern is shown at the ethnic divisions and local discrimination against women, which have spilled over into the labor market. This book lends a supporting voice to the economic and social empowerment of women globally, focusing on the real causes and the unpredictable nature of the ongoing conflicts surrounding the issue. The authors bring to the forefront problems of development within various regions and the implementation of projects, which address the state of women, inequality and risks, that are inimical to their participation in the economy. Emphasis is laid on why women should be permitted access to the many opportunities in information technology and exchange, partnership growth and networking in this digital era. The oppressive policies of Turkey are scrutinized to unravel the dangers they pose to the corporate existence of women in the modern world. Furthermore, this book centers on the deliberation on regional politics and issues on gender and women’s empowerment in modern Turkey whilst comparing with other countries. The work sheds light on salient issues and possible remedies within target countries and the concerted efforts made to create a reliable structure to discuss gender conflicts. Ample contributions from countries such as the US, Germany, Serbia, South Africa and United Kingdom are pivotal to comparing and examining the main debates. Addressing several global gender-related examples as well as Turkey’s national principles, this book encourages full involvement of women and girls in deciding the fate of their country. This book serves as the rallying point of an array of informative and mind-expanding works of literature in regional studies, gender studies, migration economy, and area studies in countries like Turkey, USA, Serbia, UK, and India. Experts, students, and readers in the academic sphere may find this work educative and intellectually fulfilling.

University and College Women’s and Gender Equity Centers
Author: Brenda Bethman
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351174681
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
University and College Women’s and Gender Equity Centers examines the new institutional contexts surrounding women’s centers. It looks at the possibilities for, as well as the challenges to, advocating for gender equity in higher education, and the ways in which women’s and gender equity centers contribute to and lead that work. The book first describes the landscape of women’s centers in higher education and explores the structures within which the centers are situated. In doing so, the book shows the ways in which many women’s centers have expanded their work to include working with athletics, Greek life, men, transgender students, international students, student parents, veterans, etc. Contributions then delve into the profession of women’s center work itself, and ask how women’s center work has become "professionalized?" Threats and challenges to women’s and gender equity centers are also explored, as contributions look at how their expansion has helped or complicated the role of centers? The collection concludes by highlighting current successes and forward-thinking approaches in women’s centers and asking how gender equity centers can best prepare for the future? Through narratives, case studies, and by offering strategies and best practice, University and College Women’s and Gender Equity Centers will engage emerging and existing equity centre professionals and women’s and gender studies faculty and students and help them to move the work of gender equity forward in the next decade.

Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
A rise in female entrepreneurship signifies progress for women's rights and improvement in their social and economic lives. Women's entrepreneurship and female empowerment go hand in hand. Similar to their male counterparts, female business owners contribute significantly to the nation's Gross National Product (GNP) in terms of innovation, employment generation, and more. When women and men enjoy an equal playing field, economies flourish. Entrepreneurship can work as an instrument of innovation. Despite the social obstacles, Indian women stand out from the other women and are praised for their accomplishments in their various fields. Indian women had to alter their way of life in order to accommodate the changing social structure of Indian society, which was brought about by the growing educated standing of women and their diverse desires for a better life. This article aims to review studies on women's entrepreneurial and creative thinking in India. To clarify the study, some examples from India were also included.

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Women Warriors in Romantic Drama advances scholarship on late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century theater by bringing together, for the first time, female and male dramatists as well as British, German, Irish, and French writers, thinkers, actors, and philosophers. This transnational perspective allows Women Warriors in Romantic Drama to make the provocative claim that in some instances, the violence of the French Revolution--and especially women's participation in it--advances proto-feminist concerns.

Women of the Mafia
Author: Felia Allum
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501774808
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Women of the Mafia dives into the Neapolitan criminal underworld of the Camorra as seen and lived by the women who inhabit it. It tells their life stories and unpacks the gender dynamics by examining their participation as active agents in the organization as leaders, managers, foot soldiers, and enablers. Felia Allum shows that these women are true partners in crime. The author offers an innovative interdisciplinary analysis that demystifies the notion that the Camorra is a sexist, male-centric organization. She links her analysis of Camorra culture within the wider Neapolitan context to show how mothers and women act and are treated in the private sphere of the household and how the family helps explain the power women have found in the Neapolitan Camorra. It is civil society and law enforcement agencies that continue to see the Camorra using traditional gender assumptions which render women irrelevant and lacking independent agency in the criminal underworld. In Women of the Mafia, Allum debunks these assumptions by revealing the power and influence of women in the Camorra.
