Examining the convergence of socialism and feminism in the German labor movement around the turn of the century, Jean Quataert probes the competing identities and loyalties of class and sex and the problems their adherents faced in reconciling the two. By focusing on the women's movement in particular, she expands our understanding of the German Social Democratic subculture and shows that socialist feminism was far more important than has been recognized heretofore.Originally published in 1979.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905

Purpose
Social enterprises are competitive businesses in the marketplace, yet insubstantial research has investigated how they market their businesses. This paper aims to investigate the impact a social enterprise label – "Buy the Good Stuff" – used in Edinburgh has had on consumer awareness and explore whether a possible national label could be used as a marketing tool by social enterprises in Scotland.
Design/methodology/approach
The study uses a mixed-methods approach, consisting of an online questionnaire with 100 participants and seven semi-structured interviews with representatives of social enterprises involved in the marketing campaign in Edinburgh and representatives of social enterprises who were not involved in the campaign.
Findings
Findings indicate that the label used in Edinburgh has had little impact on increasing consumer awareness of social enterprises. However, a national label has the potential to help social enterprises increase consumer awareness. Yet, successful implementation requires thorough design of the label and broad support for its promotion.
Practical implications
The paper offers insights into the implementation of a national label. Managers of social enterprises and social enterprise networks should consider the findings when adopting marketing activities.
Originality/value
Findings contribute to the sparse literature regarding marketing activities of social enterprises. The paper provides evidence that the broader social enterprise sector and its representatives in Scotland should re-evaluate their position on the introduction of a national label, given that one priority identified for the sector is to create and promote a social enterprise brand which the SE code is not focussed on.

AbstractThe current article explores the aspects of regulatory policy in the field of personal social services. InIsrael, the government sets standards, and finances and oversees personal social services, while the services themselves are provided primarily by non‐governmental organizations. Based on a qualitative study we examined two questions. First, what characterizes the implementation of regulatory mechanisms in the field of personal social services inIsrael? Second, how can we explain the outcomes of regulation in the personal social services inIsrael? In a unique approach, we used the institutional analysis and development (IAD) framework to explore the regulatory practices implemented in community residences and hostels for people with intellectual disabilities and in after school programmes. The findings revealed that although there were implementation gaps in both cases, theIADmight improve our understanding of the nature and magnitude of these gaps. Furthermore, the insights gained may have implications for policymakers in their development of regulatory policy.

This article addresses how the global and local aspects of social work can be integrated into the internationalisation of social work education. Building on the transnational perspective, it introduces a transcontextual perspective, through which students develop critical and reflective knowledge about the importance of context in shaping social work practices. Such a perspective implies a dynamic understanding of social work, whereby any given social work practice can be understood as a contextual enactment. Using one short-term Sino-Norwegian exchange programme as an example, the article demonstrates how a transcontextual perspective can be implemented to foster transcontextual reflectivity among the students.
Klappentext: Es ist paradox: Noch nie war es dank unzähliger Plattformen und Kanäle so einfach, seine Meinung zu äußern. Noch nie aber entschieden auch so wenige Menschen über die Regeln dieser Plattformen. Noch nie war deshalb die für unsere Demokratien entscheidende freie Meinungsbildung so sehr in Gefahr. Und noch nie waren die Zeichen, dies zu erkennen, so offensichtlich. Was können wir tun? In einem streitbaren Diskurs über die Wirkung von TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Co. auf uns und unsere Gesellschaft zeigt Björn Staschen, wie wir langsam unsere digitale Freiheit verlieren - und wie wir sie verteidigen können."Präzise argumentiert, spannend geschrieben und am Puls der Zeit: Björn Staschen belegt in seinem Buch, wie Soziale Netzwerke unsere freie Meinungsbildung unter Druck setzen - und was wir dagegen tun können: Denn unabhängige Informationen sind lebenswichtig für unsere Demokratie. Ein Plädoyer gegen die digitale Bequemlichkeit - und ein wichtiges Fundament für eine dringend nötige Debatte". (Ingo Zamperoni, ARD-Moderator) "Ein Buch wie ein Krimi. Björn Staschen gewährt faszinierende Einblicke hinter die Bildschirme, auf die wir täglich starren. Eine Pflichtlektüre für alle, die wissen wollen, wie uns Google, Facebook & Co auf Tipp und Klick im Netz manipulieren. Top aktuell, gespickt mit Daten, Fakten und Hintergründen, verständlich geschrieben für jung und alt. Eine überfällige Anleitung für eine bessere Online-Resilienz und mehr digitale Selbstbestimmung."

In this unique work directed at social workers, Gerald A.J. de Montigny maintains that they, along with other professionals, create an `institutional' reality through their day-to-day practices. He traces the practical ways that social workers, when involved in child protection, struggle to produce a world which can be ordered, systematized, and subjected to their powers. It is a penetrating and sensitive analysis of how social workers in their everyday practice make sense from a confusing collection of case details to create organizationally defined problems and cases. De Montigny uses the tension between his experience of growing up 'working class' and the difficult process of becoming a social worker to explore the practical activities professionals use to secure organizational power and authority over clients. This tension has forced him to confront the dilemma of how to stand on the side of clients when standing inside professional and organizational realities.In the first half of the book, de Montigny focuses on the practices social workers use to produce a universalized professional form of knowledge. He examines social workers' use of ideological practices; fetishization of the social work profession; insertion of details from clients' lives into discursive order; accounting for front-line practice as a problem solving scientific practice; and naming of their own frustrations, conflicts, tensions, and pain as professionally manageable phenomena. In the second half of the book, based on his own work in child protection, he systematically examines how such reality-producing practices come to be expressed as child protection. He develops a synthetic account of his social work interventions on cases of child abuse and neglect. This book should be read by all practitioners and students of social work. It is an original and practical application of theoretical arguments to the everyday reality of social work.
