Abstract
This essay argues that retrieval of the archive of trans women's engagement with women's liberation corrects a historical focus on the virulent trans misogyny that targeted trans women for exclusion from feminist milieus and projects beginning in 1973. This essay follows the arguments for trans exclusion into their contemporary iterations and proposes the archive of trans women's feminist work as a theoretical and political resource for countering trans misogyny.

Susan B. Anthony, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Hilary Clinton are just a few of the most well known names in politics for forging new paths for women in a traditionally male-dominated field. However, many lesser-known women groundbreakers have changed the world by stepping out of the background and onto the political stage. This biographical text covers the lives of fascinating women in politics, from the earliest suffragette movements to modern-day women who could one day become the first female president of the United States. Readers are encouraged to look into careers that could place them among this text's legendary ladies. This text uses age-appropriate language to explain complex political and social topics, while informative fact boxes and a comprehensive timeline provide additional opportunities for learning

AbstractAlex Byrne contends that women are (simply) adult human females, claiming that this thesis has considerably greater initial appeal than the justified true belief (JTB) theory of knowledge. This article refutes Byrne's thesis in the same way the JTB theory of knowledge is widely thought to have been refuted: through simple counterexamples. Lessons are drawn. One lesson is that women need not be human. A second lesson is that biology and physical phenotypes are both irrelevant to whether someone is a woman, and indeed, female in a gendered sense. A third lesson is that trans women, cis women, alien women, and robot women are all women because to be a woman is to be an adult gendered female. This article does not purport to settle complex normative questions of ethics or justice, including whether the ordinary meaning of woman ought to be retained or changed—though I do note plausible implications for these debates. This article does purport to settle what the ordinary meaning of woman is, and in that regard contribute to important conceptual ground-clearing regarding what constitutes an ameliorative or revisionary definition of woman.

Throughout history, women were kept in the home and out of the workplace. Over time, however, women began breaking out of their traditional roles and entering spaces traditionally occupied by men-including the boardroom. This biographical text looks at the lives of the fascinating females who broke barriers in business. Coco Chanel, Estee Lauder, Oprah Winfrey, Melinda Gates, and Sheryl Sandberg are just some of the groundbreakers covered in this text. Age-appropriate text, colorful visuals, fact boxes, and a comprehensive timeline complete the learning experience

This article analyses the relationship between the representatives and the represented by comparing elite and mass attitudes to gender equality and women's representation in Britain. In so doing, the authors take up arguments in the recent theoretical literature on representation that question the value of empirical research of Pitkin's distinction between substantive and descriptive representation. They argue that if men and women have different attitudes at the mass level, which are reproduced amongst political elites, then the numerical under-representation of women may have negative implications for women's substantive representation. The analysis is conducted on the British Election Study (BES) and the British Representation Study (BRS) series.
