Using 150 years of women's history, this book details how women have organized into global movements which have shaped and challenged how international organizations consider gender. It argues that traditional ways of analysing international relations have ignored women's contributions because their tools are gender-exclusive. After developing a gender analysis, this book brings to light many contributions from women's movements especially related to the League of Nations and United Nations, and puts these in the context of changes in the global political economy

The book spells out in practical, concrete terms what it really means to place the pathology outside the battered woman. The novelty in this approach lies in the implications for practice: battered women are not "sick" - they are in a "sick" situation. " Practical and comprehensive, an excellent guide for clinicians and other interveners . Mary Ann Dutton's book, Empowering and Healing the Battered Woman, integrates psychological theory with detailed information on the real-life dimensions of abused women's posttraumatic responses and the strategies for assessment that

"An introductory section presents the principal characteristics (demographic, economic, political, and institutional) and problems (urban sprawl, economic inequality, poor and inexistent infrastructure) of Lima. The next two sections are case studies of Villa El Salvador, perhaps the best known (because of its conflictive and political origins, as well as its community organizations) of the squatter settlements that surround Lima, and the work undertaken by women in the poorer sectors of the city to improve health and food services"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57

In this book on urban poverty in the Caribbean, Michel S. Laguerre presents a detailed analysis of the phenomenon in urban Martinique. He argues that the national structure of inequality finds its myriad expressions in the urban environment. Not only does the city provide the ideological back-up - and the locus where elite ideologies are produced and reproduced - but also the men and women who occupy the positions that sustain the inequality structure. The city serves then as an arena where inequality and poverty are daily manufactured.

""[A] fascinating and scholarly discussion of woman in love and life in ancient literature, an excellent choice through and through."" -Midwest Book Review Juliana Geran Pilon argues for a return to an egalitarian view of men and women, found in the original Genesis narrative, as reflected through Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In each of these Abrahamic traditions, it was understood that man and woman were created to be soulmates in God's image-equal despite their different functions within society. Pilon writes that this original message has gradually been distorted, with disastrous effec

This article discusses how Black babassu nut breakers have constructed community struggles and created political strategies in Maranhão, Brazil. From the reflections of Maria do Rosário, an important Black leader in the quilombola territory of Sesmaria do Jardim, we construct visions of her territorial ties, memory, and organizational processes, focusing on collective engagements and relations between Black women and men. These reflections are the product of fieldwork with the nut breakers and are rooted in discussions about racial terror, anti-Black violence, and collective engagement.

LGBTQ+ scientists: UK-US inclusion in STEM
Belinda Colston1, Abigail Powell1, Lauren Esposito2 and Arti Agrawal3 discuss the challenges for LGBTQ+ scientists and inclusion in the UK-US STEM landscape through an intersectional lens. The STEM professions continue to be dominated by white, heterosexual men and characterised by a stereotypically masculine culture with the expectation of heteronormative identity. The exclusionary and hostile environments often encountered in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines have persistently excluded women, ethnic minorities, disabled people and those who identify as LGBTQ+.

The African continent is currently witnessing the creation of the largest regional free trade area in the world. The African Continental Free Trade Area represents a significant milestone in Africa's socio-economic development. However, this development is also significant in another respect: A recently adopted special Protocol on Women and Youth in Trade has the potential to blaze the trail for gender-transformative intra-African trade. The protocol thus confirms a general trend in international economic law to acknowledge and address the gendered nature of trade.
