You know what? It's super creepy to kiss a woman who is
unconscious. And you know what else? The way out of poverty isn't
by marrying a rich dude--or by wearing fragile footwear, for that
matter. And while we're at it, why is the only woman who lives with
seven men expected to do the cooking, cleaning, and laundry?
Fairytales need a reboot and comedy queens Laura Lane and Ellen
Haun are the women to do it. In Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling,
they offer a rollicking parody of classic (read: patriarchal) tales
that turns sweet, submissive princesses into women who are
perfectly capable of being the heroes of their own stories. Mulan
climbs the ranks in the army but wages a different war when she
finds out she's getting paid less than her fellow male captains,
Wendy learns never to trust a manboy stalking her window, Sleeping
Beauty's prince gets a lesson in consent, and more. Busting with
laugh-out-loud, razor-sharp twists to these outdated tales,
Cinderella and the Glass Ceilingis fun, magical, necessary and
totally woke.
"Despite Canada's claim to be a gender equitable nation, militarism
continues to function in ways that protect inequality." -from the
Introduction Little has been done to examine, critique, and
challenge the ways ingrained societal ideas of militarism and
gender influence lifelong learning patterns and practices of
Canadians. Editor Nancy Taber and ten other contributors explore
reasons why Canadian educators should be concerned with how
learning, militarism, and gender intersect. Readers may be
surprised to discover how this reaches beyond the classroom into
the everyday lessons, attitudes, and habits that all Canadians are
taught, often without question. Pushing the boundaries of education
theory, research, and practice, this book will be of particular
interest to feminist, adult, and teacher educators and to scholars
and students of education, the military, and women's and gender
studies. Contributors: Mark Anthony Castrodale, Gillian L.
Fournier, Andrew Haddow, Cindy L. Hanson, Laura Lane, Jamie
Magnusson, Robert C. Mizzi, Shahrzad Mojab, Snezana Ratkovic, Roger
Saul, Nancy Taber.
Gender Justice and the Law presents a collection of essays that
examines how gender, as a category of identity, must continually be
understood in relation to how structures of inequality define and
shape its meaning. It asks how notions of "justice" shape gender
identity and whether the legal justice system itself privileges
notions of gender or is itself gendered. Shaped by politics and
policy, Gender Justice essays contribute to understanding how
theoretical practices of intersectionality relate to structures of
inequality and relations formed as a result of their interaction.
Given its theme, the collection's essays examine theoretical
practices of intersectional identity at the nexus of "gender and
justice" that might also relate to issues of sexuality, race,
class, age, and ability.
