Taylor & Francis Ltd Hannah More in Context
Book SynopsisThis book relocates the long life and literary career of the poet, playwright, novelist, philanthropist and teacher Hannah More (1745-1833) in the wider social and cultural contexts that shaped her, and which she helped shape in turn. One of the most influential writers and campaigners of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, More's reputation has suffered unfairly from accusations of paternalism and provincialism, and misunderstandings of her sincerely-held but now increasingly unfamiliar evangelical beliefs. Now, in this book, readers can explore a range of essays rooted in up-to-the-minute research which examines newly-recovered archival materials and other evidence in order to present the fullest picture yet of this complex and compelling author, and the era she helped mould with her words.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Hannah More in ContextKerri Andrews and Sue Edney Tongues in Trees: Hannah More and the Nature Inscription Robin Jarvis Feeling Good: Sentimental Virtue in Hannah More’s The Search After Happiness (1773) and "Sensibility" (1782) Rose Hilton Defending "Reason’s rein": Rationalism as Persuasive Strategy in Hannah More’s Slavery: A Poem (1788) Adam Bridgen Writing Women at Work Maeve Adams "Hunger is not a postponable want": Hannah More’s charity reconsidered Kerri Andrews Hannah More’s Percy, A Tragedy, in the Spanish and French Theatrical Contexts Begoña Lasa Álvarez The Bluestocking and the Preacher: the Bifurcated Reception of Hannah More in Scandinavia Marie Nedregotten Sørbø Hannah More’s Sympathetic Strategies: Coelebs in Search of a Wife and the Evangelical Novel Nicky Lloyd Books and Readers in Hannah More’s Coelebs in Search of a Wife Joanna Maciulewicz Hannah More Rediscoveries: Letters, Literary Manuscripts, and Inscribed Books Nicholas D.

Taylor & Francis Culture Diversity and Criminal Justice
Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking textbook engages readers in conversation about responding to the effects of diversity within formal criminal justice systems in Westernized nation-states. Moving past a binary concept of diversity that involves only race and gender, this book elaborates upon a wide variety of other forms of diversity, including sexuality, disability, mental health, gendered identity, refugees, the young and the ageing, and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) peoples, with an awareness of how intersecting identities make some people more vulnerable than others. With reported statistics providing only a snapshot of the incongruent experiences of diverse minorities in contact with criminal justice systems, there is a clear need for nuanced training and accessible information regarding diversity in criminal justice. The book examines diversity in terms of both criminal justice agents and justice-involved individuals such as people in prison, those convicted of crimesTrade Review"This book is a powerfully written, engaging exploration of intersectionality and culturally safe practices. My first response, on reading was, to say, "Wow, this book has so many potential applications and I'll be recommending it to the many organisations I work with!". It is likely to be if value to new scholars, seasoned academics, policymakers, and practitioners alike. In many settings, we grapple with how to ensure that our approaches are inclusive and non-discriminatory. This book provides a framework likely to enhance critical thinking that will cause reflection and meaningful change across multiple sectors, including criminal justice. Highly recommend."Dr. Tracey Price-Allan, Director of MyCorZ Consultancy Ltd, Board Member of the Global Law Enforcement and Public Health Association (GLEPHA)"While it is questionable whether the criminal system can ever be culturally safe, this book makes an important contribution to critical understandings of cultural threats to marginalised people who are criminalised. It brings together a diverse field of scholars who interrogate the nature of criminalisation for oppressed peoples and make recommendations for systemic change. People in the criminalising system are often typecast as 'suspects', 'offenders' or 'inmates'. This book shines a light on their intersectional humanity and how the system intrudes on their, and our, basic human rights. Finally, this book addresses the toxic cultures within criminalising agencies that contribute to structural oppression within and outside of the agencies. This is a valuable resource for academics and students who want to learn about systemic bias and the harms it wreaks on individuals and society."Professor Thalia Anthony, Professor of Law, University of Technology Sydney "Understanding the underlying and implicit role diversity plays across criminal justice systems is vital in creating fair and just societies. This book provides a nuanced and in-depth analysis on working towards this shared goal and aspiration, whilst holding existing structures and systems accountable to being much better in its approach and application. Such diverse contexts and lived experiences can create cultural safe perspectives and practices as privileged across the various narratives within this edited collection."

Taylor & Francis Ltd North American Muslim Women Artists Talk Back
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the ways in which North American Muslim women artists talk back to dominant discourses about Muslim identity and work to counter mainstream stereotypes and representations. It examines the possibilities of constructing discourses of resistance to domination. Against a backdrop of dominant media representations of oppressed and passive Muslim women, the media interventions of the exceptional women artists whose voices are showcased in this book, demonstrate that Muslim women are diverse and autonomous agents who have, historically, and continue contemporarily, to fight against all forms of injustice including those that seek to circumscribe their realities and experiences. To explore expressions and articulations of alternative discourses, this book analyzes the media texts of exceptional women artists: the stand-up comedy of Palestinian-American Maysoon Zayid, the cinematic interventions of Iranian-American Shirin Neshat, and the television comedy Trade Review"Kenza Oumlil’s book is a compelling interdisciplinary analysis of gender and cultural representations of Muslim diasporic communities in North America. The text orchestrates an intellectual dialogue between U.S. black feminists and Muslim diasporic artists, providing a prescient intersectional framework with which to discuss issues of identity and self-representation. Oumlil makes a perceptive intervention that exposes the hegemonic cultural apparatus while also highlighting alternative aesthetic practices that challenge and subvert it."Ella Shohat, author of Taboo Memories, Diasporic Voices"Can Muslim women represent themselves? Kenza Oumlil’s North American Muslim Women Artists Talk Back: Assertions of Unintelligibility is the sustained record of her critical reflections on this vital question. The result is a pathbreaking momentum in rearticulatig the possibilities of constructing discourses of resistance to domination—a focussed and deeply satisfying read."Hamid Dabashi, author of Contemporary Art, World Cinema, and Visual Culture: Essays by Hamid Dabashi"North American Muslim Women Artists Talk Back describes an infiltration. Artists creep up on the mainstream, ambush and unsettle what they can, when they can. Oumlil shows us that the mainstream is no easy place for Muslim women artists to navigate. Riding with them through the currents of patriarchy and white supremacy will fill us with wonder. We will gasp and laugh and shake our heads in dismay and it will all be worth it."Sherene H.

Taylor & Francis Ltd This WorkingDay World
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1994, This Working-Day World is lively collection of essays presenting a social, political and cultural view of British women's lives in the period 191445. The volume describes women's activities in many different areas, ranging from the weekly wash to the rescue of child refugees. Each essay, from an international list of contributors, is based on new research which will complement existing studies in a range of disciplines by adding information on, among other topics, women's teacher training colleges, and women in the BBC, in medical laboratories and in Art schools. The book does not, however, idealise women: the militarism and racism of the period infected women too, and this is revealed in the account of women in the British Union of Fascists, and the analysis of the Pankhursts' merging of patriotism and gender issues.Through studies and personal accounts, This Working-Day World reveals past issues that are still pertinent to debatesTable of ContentsList of Illustrations, Acknowledgements, Introduction, Section I: Social History, 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Gender and Popular Visual Culture in India
Book SynopsisPerhaps, male-mindedness seems to have adapted to changing-contemporary circumstances to become more covert and conspiratorial. Sexist suggestionsthrough objectification and substantiated subordinationfor instance, may have been explicit in Indian media a decade earlier. But in the contemporary times of online social media and vociferous feminism, such openness of unfairness against women in the media will, more often than not, be met with strife and unpalatable backlash - fearing which blatant prejudice is prudently steered clear of. It is, hence, understandable that patriarchy, to sustain itself as a culture, has adapted to become more benevolent in an increasingly hostile environment. To identify such sly and stealthy sexism embedded in media content, one may need a reconfigured grasp of contemporary feminist issues and an altered nuance for isolation and identification of discriminatory depictions.

Taylor & Francis Women Power and the Economy
Book SynopsisIn the complex landscapes of multiple global crises, the book unfolds as a panoramic journey through the intricate pathways of women and power, weaving a tapestry that transcends crises and ushers in a transformative vision of a just world.Against the backdrop of a patriarchal history steeped in autocratic power practices, the author urges us to recognize, understand, and redefine power in its myriad forms for collective feminist power practices. With meticulous analysis, she unveils challenges posed by the patriarchal backlash, exposing the normalized male definitions of power and the societal structures that sustain pathological power relationships. The narrative of the book intertwines power, economy, and patriarchy, laying bare the many traps for complicity with the patriarchal systems. The author advocates for a paradigm shift, emphasizing the role of female memories and genealogies as foundational elements for a collective feminist practice. Power, in this context, emerges not as a force for dominance but as the ability to make a positive impact, flourishing in the rich diversity of differences. The envisioned future is one, where societies thrive on commons, planetary care, feminist economies, and pluriversality. The narrative charts a course toward a feminist democracy, rooted in nurturing the planet and safeguarding future generations. Governance and networks stand as keystones in shaping these utopian landscapes, where pioneers and movements play vital roles in sculpting the contours of tomorrow.The book offers practical tools for strengthening collective feminist practices that can restructure power pathologies. It unfolds as a captivating vista, where the echoes of the past harmonize with the aspirations of a feminist future.

Taylor & Francis Controlling Women

Taylor & Francis Ltd Female Crime The Construction of Women in
Book SynopsisFemale Crime, first published in 1987, surveys the major schools of criminology in order to explore the images of the female offender which underpin many contemporary crime theories. In reveals the ways in which male-centred norms dominated much analysis, and how crude stereotypes of women were a common attribute to the armoury of criminological research.Although feminists and other researchers are directing increasing attention to criminology, this was one of the first attempts to deploy feminist analyses developed within other disciplines to examine critically the range of modern criminological theories on women. Its findings demonstrate the importance of a program to create a new feminist criminology which recognises the female offender as a reasoning, purposeful subject. This title will be of interest to students of criminology. Table of ContentsAcknowledgements; Preface; 1. The Reasonable Man 2. The Frustrated Offender 3. Learning Crime 4. Masculinity Theory 5.

Cambridge University Press Female Friends and the Making of Transatlantic
Book SynopsisQuaker women were unusually active participants in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century cultural and religious exchange, as ministers, missionaries, authors and spiritual leaders. Drawing upon documentary evidence, with a focus on women''s personal writings and correspondence, Naomi Pullin explores the lives and social interactions of Quaker women in the British Atlantic between 1650 and 1750. Through a comparative methodology, focused on Britain and the North American colonies, Pullin examines the experiences of both those women who travelled and preached and those who stayed at home. The book approaches the study of gender and religion from a new perspective by placing women''s roles, relationships and identities at the centre of the analysis. It shows how the movement''s transition from ''sect to church'' enhanced the authority and influence of women within the movement and uncovers the multifaceted ways in which female Friends at all levels were active participants in making and susTrade Review'… Pullin has justly been nominated for the Ecclesiastical History Society Prize, as this book is a work of outstanding quality.'

Cambridge University Press Facing Barriers
Book SynopsisPalestinian women have slowly become active in the formal labor market in Israel. In this book, Vered Kraus and Yuval Yonay describe and analyse the labor experience of these Palestinian women, and explain why Palestinian and Jewish women have different rates and outcomes in the labor market. Challenging popular views that ascribe these differences to Arab culture and Islam, they instead find that it is state policies and widespread discrimination that hinder Palestinian women''s participation and success. By including the various Palestinian sub-groups - Muslims, Bedouins, Druze, Christians, non-citizen residents of Jerusalem - this book shows how the specific life circumstances of the women from these subgroups affect their employment and achievements. The book thus enriches the acute discussion on the labour market experiences of Muslim and Arab women in the Middle East and North Africa and in advanced industrialized societies.Table of Contents1.

WW Norton & Co The Heroine with 1001 Faces
Book SynopsisWorld-renowned folklorist Maria Tatar reveals an astonishing but long-buried history of heroines, taking us from Cassandra and Scheherazade to Nancy Drew and Wonder WomanTrade Review"She is stirring what J.R.R. Tolkien once called the 'cauldron of story' in search of the girls and women, some silenced and some forgotten, some from the Iliad and some from Netflix, who live in Campbell’s blind spot. The reader jumps from Arachne’s battle with Athena to the escape of Bluebeard’s trickster wife to Pippi Longstocking and Nancy Drew and even to Carrie Bradshaw typing away on her laptop." -- Gal Beckerman - New York Times Book Review

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Reframing Japonisme
Book SynopsisJaponisme, the 19th-century fascination for Japanese art, has generated an enormous body of scholarship since the beginning of the 21st-first century, but most of it neglects the women who acquired objects from the Far East and sold them to clients or displayed them in their homes before bequeathing them to museums. The stories of women shopkeepers, collectors, and artists rarely appear in memoirs left by those associated with the japoniste movement. This volume brings to light the culturally important, yet largely forgotten activities of women such as Clémence d'Ennery (182398), who began collecting Japanese and Chinese chimeras in the 1840s, built and decorated a house for them in the 1870s, and bequeathed the Musée d'Ennery to the state as a free public museum in 1893. A friend of the Goncourt brothers and a 50-year patron of Parisian dealers of Asian art, d'Ennery's struggles to gain recognition as a collector and curator serve as a lens through which to examine the collecting anTrade ReviewAs Japonisme studies grow, Elizabeth Emery’s Reframing Japonisme will gain adherents owing to the meticulous way the author has researched the field to open new insights on women’s role in promoting Japanese art and culture. Her detailed detective work demonstrates that women increased the availability of Japanese objects as they established collections and museums. This pioneering book will be used for years to come by those involved in expanding the parameters of the Japonisme movement in France. * Gabriel P. Weisberg, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota, USA and Managing Editor, Journal of Japonisme *Emery unearths references new even to specialist scholars and her analysis of familiar images and texts reveals new, and completely compelling, insights. This book will fundamentally change the study of Japonisme. It is a huge accomplishment. * Christopher Reed, The Pennsylvania State University, USA and author of Bachelor Japanists: Japanese Aesthetics and Western Masculinities *Reframing Japonisme’s aim is to credit Gisette for her considerable, if unusual, success as a collector and thereby revitalize the story of japonisme and Japanese art collecting in the 19th century. Its tight storytelling and dissection of myopic narratives embedded in historical canons make the truism that “women’s history is just history” apply just as much to the art world as anywhere else. * Asian Review of Books *“Through inexhaustible detective work […] Emery brings new perspectives to light that convincingly allow her to reframe Japonisme and the nature of the Asian art market in nineteenth-century France [in] an important and eye-opening contribution to the history of Japonisme and gender studies.” * Helena Kåberg, Journal of Design History *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments Series Editor’s Introduction Introduction 1. “Come on up and see my Monsters”: Chinoiseries, Japonaiseries, and the Musée d’Ennery 2.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Phryne
Book SynopsisHow did Mnesarete, a girl from Boeotia, turn into Phryne the famous beauty, and how did she end up as an enduring symbol of ancient Greek culture? This book pieces together the story of the notorious fourth-century Athenian sex worker, Phryne. It considers her early life and her development into a cultural figure, whose influence and legacy have lasted from her own lifetime to the present day. It also investigates her infamous nude courtroom appearance, her influence on one of the most well-known statues from antiquity and her connection to celebrated figures from Alexander the Great to the artist Apelles. Her appearances in modern culture, ranging from Belle Epoque cabaret shows to 1950s Italian film, are also analysed, offering an account of how the real life of a woman turned into the biography of a dream girl. Nothing but fragmentsremain of Phryne's story, short anecdotes passed on and on again in literary compendia, that tell the story of a witty and beautiful wTrade ReviewDrawing on an impressive number of literary and historical sources, Melissa Funke has created an innovative and sophisticated treatment of Phryne’s reputation. This original approach to life writing provides a model for similar reconstructions of women from the ancient world. -- Isobel Hurst, Lecturer in English, Goldsmiths, University of London, UKTable of ContentsList of Figures Acknowledgements Note on Translation Introduction Chapter One: Mnesarete to Phryne Chapter Two: Phryne the Artist’s Model Chapter Three: Phryne on Trial Chapter Four: Phryne’s Afterlife Conclusion Notes Bibliography Index
