Volume 12 consists of fourteen original essays by multi-national
and multi-disciplinary scholars. Four discuss and analyze the 19th
Century writings of Harriet Martineau (British Author), considered
to be early examples of sociology and gender studies. A range of
Martineau's writings are explored including her critical review of
the Salem witch hunts and her letters to a young Irishman. Several
essays focus on gendered implications of the state, for example,
the European Union or the Eastern European Bloc. A third set focus
on gender and social institutions and some investigate
family-related issues including power relations regarding race,
childbearing, the impact of religious fundamentalism, issues
related to aging, health and medicine, and sport.Some are based on
presentations given at the International Sociological Association
Congress in Durban, South Africa in July, 2006. Others are drawn
from the Martineau Society Working Seminar at National University
of Ireland at Maynooth in May, 2007. Continuing in the tradition
established by the "Advances in Gender Research" series, it
explores gender as a social institution and social construct. The
essays complement one another in their topic examination, issues
and themes, adding nuance to contemporary Gender Studies
