• 9780205270156: Sounding of Women, A von Martha C. Ward  € 71,64 [D]*  Titel nicht mehr im Programm
  

  Presented in a lively manner, this book explores and validates the experiences of women around the world through the autobiographical stories of seven women from different cultures. Generally, women's stories are untold, unheard, or unrecorded. But no more elegant tool exists to describe the human condition than the personal narrative. The author has taken each of these stories, put them into perspective, and related them to larger themes and issues. Because of the varied cultures represented by these women, A Sounding of Women: Autobiographies from Unexpected Places offers a strong comparative viewpoint. Written by an anthropologist who has taught undergraduates for 25 years and designed the first official Women's Studies course in Louisiana, this book has been forged in classroom experiences and fueled by the explosion of fascinating research on women since the 1970's. Ward has done fieldwork in three different cultures of the world and has written four books specifically for the kind of audiences who like to think about and read about anthropology.

• 9780205482184: Women and the Criminal Justice System von Katherine Stuart van Wormer, Clemens F. Bartollas  € 47,66 [D]*  Titel nicht mehr im Programm
  

  This text examines the various roles of women in the criminal justice system against a social context in which women are oppressed.

   

  The text examines the following three roles of women in criminal justice:

  • Women as victims of crimes
  • Women as criminals convicted and sentenced for crimes
  • Women as workers in various agencies in the criminal justice system

   

  This text emphasizes content on gender and ethnic diversity and on the strengths of oppressed people, especially women of color. A wide range of issues are covered, including:  the rate of early childhood sexual abuse, victimization in female inmates, priest abuse of girls, female inmate rape by male prison guard, and obstacles for women lawyers achieving partnerships in their firms.

   

  The authors provide a wealth of recent data drawn from both domestic and international human rights sources, as well as from personal interviews.

   

  The final portion of the text describes women's setbacks in entering the traditionally male dominated fields of policing, the law, and corrections.

   

  The authors introduce students to the empowerment approach - a belief that if people are given half a chance, they can draw on their own resources to heal from the past and build for the future. This empowerment approach is already prominent in the social work field and widely used in victim treatment programs for working with female offenders.

• 9780582294639: Women's Agency in Early Modern Britain and the American Colonies, 1450-1700 von Dr Rosemary O'Day  € 38,47 [D]*  Lieferbar
  

  Women in early modern Britain and colonial America were not the weak husband- and father-dominated characters of popular myth. Quite the reverse, strong women were the norm.  They exercised considerable influence as important agents in the social, economic, religious and cultural life of their societies.

  
  This book shows how women on both sides of the Atlantic, while accepting a patriarchal system with all its advantages and disadvantages, contrived to carve out for themselves meaningful lives.

   

  Unusually it concentrates not only on the making and meaning of marriage, but also upon the partnership between men and women.  It also looks at the varied roles – cultural, religious and educational – that women played both inside and outside marriage during the key period 1500-1760. Women emerge as partners, patrons, matchmakers, investors and network builders.

• 9780205361007: World Full of Women, A von Martha C. Ward  € 43,82 [D]*  Titel nicht mehr im Programm
  

  This thorough revision of A World Full of Women will appeal to instructors and students in anthropology, or any discipline looking for a global approach to the study of women. "Reading this book is like sitting down for an intellectually stimulating, yet thoroughly comfortable, chat with this author," according to a reviewer.

  Written by an anthropologist who has taught undergraduates for 28 years and designed the first official women's studies course in Louisiana, this book has been fueled by the explosion of research on women since the 1970s.

  One reviewer decribes the text as "especially strong in its anthropological grounding, in its appropriate theoretical orientation, its selected ethnographic detail, and in the way it invites participation on the part of its readers." Another reviewer writes, "Ward has achieved a rare thing: an accessible, interesting, personable, opinioned text, combined with the comprehensiveness that makes texts valuable."
