R1,146 Discovery Miles 11 460 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This ambitious volume brings together original essays on the U.S. women's movement with analyses of women's movements in other countries around the world. A comparative perspective and a common theme - feminism in social movement action - unite these voices in a way that will excite students and inspire further research. From the grassroots to the global, the significance of the U.S women's movement in the international arena cannot be denied. At the same time, the way in which international feminism has developed - in Asia, in Latin America, in Europe - has altered and expanded the landscape of the U.S. women's movement forever. These distinguished authors show us how.

We Will Be Heard - Women's Struggles for Political Power in the United States (Paperback): Jo Freeman We Will Be Heard - Women's Struggles for Political Power in the United States (Paperback)

In We Will Be Heard, noted political scientist Jo Freeman chronicles the struggles of women in the United States for political power. Most of their stories are little-known, but Freeman's compelling portrait of women working for change reminds us that women have never been silent in the political affairs of the nation. From J. Ellen Foster's address to the 1892 Republican Convention to Nancy Pelosi's 2007 election as the first female Speaker of the House, women have worked to influence politics at every level. Well before most could vote, women campaigned for candidates and lobbied to shape public policy. Men welcomed their work, but not their ideas. Even with equal suffrage women faced many barriers to full political participation. The fifteen case studies of women's struggles for political influence in this book provide the historical context for today's political events. Starting with an overview of when and why political women have been studied, the three sections of the book look at different ways in which women have broken barriers, practiced politics, and promoted public policy. These engaging and accessible stories are even more important in today's political climate, when a woman can finally be a front-runner in a presidential race. Readers of all political stripes will enjoy the history behind modern politics in this story of women struggling to make their voices heard.

Waves of Protest is a must-read for students of social movements, social change, political sociology, and American studies.

When Jo Hoyt Freeman was diagnosed with benign memory loss in 2001, she and her husband Claude were faced with an uncertain future. Jo wanted others to understand her journey: "If you have a memory loss...maybe you can listen to my story, and it would make a difference It isn't a fairy tale nor is it a dream, it's a story about a girl who had a very strange experience...I want to be one of those good citizens who want to improve your and my lives by helping. One step at a time...reasons to help people...maybe by understanding my feelings and how I feel will make a difference..." "Jo's Story" is a primer, an elementary textbook, about a lovely, enthusiastic, bright, stimulating person who became aware of a change in her being, originally diagnosed as a benign memory loss and later Alzheimer's Disease. This primer, a real elementary, factual textbook will be helpful to families coping with the day-to-day issues presented by dementia and Alzheimer's, and to skilled care workers, some of whom publicly have made it known they need and want more education and training on how to provide care and support to those with dementia and their families. "Jo's Story: Who Is Caring?" could be used for a number of years to educate and train persons who now, and will in the future, in their individual practice of medicine endeavor to accurately diagnose and provide care to persons whose change in being is caused by an Alzheimer's/dementia disease. How does a caregiver find the key to unlock stored memories in the brain of an Alzheimer's/dementia diseased person, which activities once brought about in that person true pleasure? Read "Jo's Story."
