Dewemaagannag/My Relations. Key principles and values to decolonize engagement with Indigenous communities - Office of Community Engagement (Concordia); Sioui, Geneviève; Shawayahamish,, Amanda (Office of Community Engagement, Concordia University, 2023)
« After years of consultation, advising, positive and negative experiences of collaborating, and many conversations with colleagues and peers, we created this document as a starting point to reflect on how to best collaborate with Indigenous communities. In this document, you will find our perspectives, and the points of view of Indigenous collaborators on what constitutes and feels like good collaboration. To summarize, our goal is to: • Centre Indigenous perspectives on community engagement • Encourage a reflection on the motivation for soliciting Indigenous communities • Provide guidance on ways to move from reflection to action » (p. 5)

Moving across differences: How students engage LGBTQ+ themes in a high school literature class - Blackburn, Mollie V. (Book collections on Project MUSE, 2022)
Fondé sur l'ethnographie et la recherche sur les enseignant.e.s, Moving across Differences examine comment un cours de littérature sur le thème LGBTQ+ a permis à des lycéen.n.e.s de négocier leurs différences et de s'engager dans des rencontres éthiques. S’appuyant sur les travaux de théoricien.n.e.s queer, Mollie V. Blackburn conceptualise ces rencontres comme des formes de mouvement à travers les différences non seulement de genre et de sexualité, mais aussi d’identité et d’idéologie de manière plus large. En suivant l'interprétation réfléchie de Blackburn des échanges parfois tendus des étudiant.e.s, nous sommes encouragé..e.s à suivre leur exemple et à agir lorsque nous sommes confronté.e.s à des différences. Nous pourrions nous rapprocher de cielles comme nous, afin de pouvoir être en communauté pour nous rétablir et guérir. Mais nous pourrions aussi nous rapprocher des autres, afin de pouvoir découvrir et apprendre. Le livre soutient cependant que nous devons agir de manière éthique et, en outre, que la littérature et le travail consistant à lire, écrire et parler peuvent favoriser ce mouvement.Moving across Differences contribue à l’étude et à la pratique du programme et de la pédagogie des arts de la langue anglaise, des méthodes qualitatives et de la théorie queer.

Learning butch: Tracing lesbian and trans becoming in the classroom - Helton, L. (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2022)
In this autobiographical essay, I study the ways in which becoming a classroom teacher illuminated the school-based gender socialization that had shaped my contested understanding of myself as a girl and woman. Leaning on the work of queer theorists both within and outside of fields explicitly marked as “pedagogical,” I examine the notion of the “hidden curriculum” of gender as made manifest in my first years teaching middle school English, and the transformative capacity within my students—and the learning spaces I shared with them—to deconstruct, play with, and disrupt, if not unlearn, the gender “scripts” that had bound us to the failing coda of identification linked to larger systems of oppression which the institution of school reifies. Tracing my developing self-identification as a lesbian alongside my years of feeling “just outside” of the archetype of the professional woman teacher, I explore the possibilities for the secondary classroom to playfully and rigorously trouble normative modes of categorization and identification, broadening our understanding of who school “works” for.

"Everyone needs a class like this": High school students' perspectives on a gay and lesbian literature course - Helmer, Kirsten (Educational Forum, 2015)
This article offers insights on how students experienced and made sense of their learning in a trimester-long high school Gay and Lesbian Literature course. Drawing on questionnaires and interviews that the students completed as part of a larger ethnographic study of this class, the author shows how a queer-themed literature curriculum is relevant for both LGBTQ-identifying and straight-identifying students and contributes to a better school climate.

Queer inclusion in teacher education: Bridging theory, research, and practice - Murray, Olivia J. (Routledge, 2015)
Queer Inclusion in Teacher Education explores the challenges and promises of building queer inclusive pedagogy and curriculum into teacher education. Weaving together theory, research findings, and practical "how-to" strategies and materials, it fills an important gap by offering a clear roadmap and resources for influencing the knowledge, beliefs, and actions of faculty working with pre-service teachers. While the book has implications for policy change, most immediately, readers will feel empowered with ideas for faculty development they can implement in their own teacher education programs. Looking at both the politics and practices of teacher education and the ways in which queer issues manifest in schools, it is hopeful in suggesting that if teachers and pre-service teachers can critically reflect on homophobia and heteronormativity, they can begin to think about and relate to queer youth in a different, more positive and inclusive way. A Companion Website [http://queerinclusion.com] with additional activities and materials for teacher educators and faculty development and a practical guide enhances the usefulness of the book.

Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research : Linking Pedagogy to Practice - Etmanski, Catherine; Hall, Budd L.; Dawson, Teresa (University of Toronto Press, 2014)
« Community-Based Research, or CBR, is a mix of innovative, participatory approaches that put the community at the heart of the research process. Learning and Teaching Community-Based Research shows that CBR can also operate as an innovative pedagogical practice, engaging community members, research experts, and students. This collection is an unmatched source of information on the theory and practice of using CBR in a variety of university- and community-based educational settings. Developed at and around the University of Victoria, and with numerous examples of Indigenous-led and Indigenous-focused approaches to CBR, Learning and Teaching Community Based-Research will be of interest to those involved in community outreach, experiential learning, and research in non-university settings, as well as all those interested in the study of teaching and learning » (4e de couverture)

Lesbian literature a third world feminist perspective - Moraga, Cherrie; Smith, Barbara (The Radical Teacher, 2014)
"A Baseline From Which to Build a Political Understanding: The Background and Goals of the Course."Barbara Smith: I'd taught Black women's literature, interdisciplinary courses on Black women and talked about Lesbianism as an "out" lesbian in my "Introduction to Women's Studies" courses, but I really wanted to do a Lesbian lit course. Lesbian literature had never been offered by the Women's Studies program at the University of Massachusetts in Boston, although the program is almost ten years old. There was a gay literature course that had been co-taught by a gay man and a lesbian, but its orientation was quite a bit different from what I had in mind.

Gay and lesbian literature in the classroom: Can Gay themes overcome heteronormativity? - April M Sanders; Janelle B. Mathis (Journal of Praxis in Multicultural Education, 2013)
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) characters do exist in children’s and young adult literature, yet there is a lack of classroom exposure to such literature. Educational organizations have realized the need for dispelling prejudices about LGBT people by including such texts in the classroom as well as discussions regarding LGBT themes and characters in the books. Yet the practice of simply including diverse texts without discussing LGBT issues could cause greater marginalization for students because the silence regarding LGBT issues and characters encourages the practice of heteronormativity. This inquiry examined a range of children’s and adolescent books that could be used in classroom discussions to develop insight about LGBT themes and characters in order to understand if the texts were saturated with LGBT themes and characters to the point that teachers and students could not avoid the LGBT factors while reading.

Gender evaluation methodology for Internet and ICTS: A learning tool for change and empowerment. - Cinco, Cheekay; Garcia Ramilo, Chat (Association for Progressive Communications, APC Women's Networking Support Programme, 2005)
GEM is not only a tool for gender evaluations. Nor is it just a guide or a manual that breaks down gender concepts and makes it relevant for ICT projects. GEM is also a project and a community. GEM as a project germinated in January 2000. A workshop, held in a small Manila hotel in the Philippines, was the seed that grew into a fouryear undertaking. About 30 women, mostly members of APC WNSP, reflected on almost 10 years of women’s networking in an attempt to build a collective understanding of the real impact of our work in changing women’s lives. But instead of arriving at definitive answers, we ended up asking more questions about change, empowerment and ICTs. What changes are empowering for women? how do these changes shift gender relations between women and men? how can we tell if ICTs are making a difference in these changes? how do we measure these changes? These questions led to months of research, meetings and painstaking writing. At that time, evaluations of ICT projects were very hard to come by. Evaluation tools for ICT projects were only beginning to be explored, mainly through the work of the International Development Research Centre which was developing an evaluation framework for ICTs for development projects. APC WNSP provided the gender related perspective in this endeavour through proposals around building gender considerations in evaluation frameworks that were largely gender neutral.

How it feels to have a gay or lesbian parent: A book by kids for kids of all ages - Snow, Judith E. (Haworth gay and lesbian studies, 2004)
Parfois, je rêve d’avoir une baguette magique. Comme ce serait génial de l’agiter et d’éliminer complètement les préjugés, la haine et l’ignorance. Imaginez ce que ce serait de vivre dans un monde comme celui-là. Ce que ça fait d'avoir un parent gay ou lesbien : un livre écrit par des enfants pour les enfants de tous âges donne la parole aux pensées, aux sentiments et aux expériences des enfants, des adolescent.e.s et des jeunes adultes qui ont un parent gay ou lesbien. Dans leurs propres mots, iels parlent ouvertement et franchement de la manière et du moment où iels ont appris l'orientation sexuelle de leurs parents et de l'effet que cela a eu sur ielles et sur leur famille. Leurs histoires font écho aux thèmes des préjugés et du harcèlement, des conflits et de la confusion, de l'adaptation et de l'ajustement, ainsi que de l'espoir de tolérance et d'une famille pouvant exister en harmonie.

Queer theory: Under construction - Dilley, Patrick (International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, 1999)
This article outlines how the concepts of queer and queer theory have been applied to qualitative studies. The multiple definitions of queer are examined, to foster an understanding of the positions from which theorists have utilized the concept to examine a number of disciplines. The advancement of the tenets of queer theory is outlined chronologically, to display the evolution of the theory through intradisciplinary applications. The body of qualitative works utilizing queer theory is categorized (language, literature, and arts; history; life histories / life stories; and queer theory as praxis) and juxtaposed. In addition, efforts to define and enact a "queer pedagogy" are analyzed. Suggestions for further application of queer theory in education, ethnography, and qualitative studies conclude the article.

Scholarly literature in HIV-related lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender studies: A bibliometric analysis - Nguyen, Tham Thi; Do, Anh Linh; Nguyen, Long Hoang; Vu, Giang Thu; Dam, Vu Anh Trong; Latkin, Carl A.; Hall, Brian J.; Ho, Cyrus S. H.; Zhang, Melvyn W. B.; Ho, Roger C. M. (Frontiers in Psychology, 2023)
Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) people are marginalized and understudied. Analyzing research activity worldwide is vital to better understand their needs in confronting the HIV epidemic. This study aimed to evaluate the global literature to identify the research collaboration, content, and tendency in HIV-related issues among the LGBT populations. Methods: Peer-reviewed original articles and reviews were achieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Country’s collaborations and co-occurrence of most frequent terms were illustrated by VOSviewer software. The Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and the linear regression model were utilized to uncover the hidden topics and examine the research trend. Results: From 1990 to 2019, a total of 13,096 publications were found. Stigma, sexual risk behaviors and HIV testing were the major topics in the LGBT research during the study period. Among 15 topics, topics about HIV/Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) prevalence, Outcomes of HIV/AIDS care and treatment, and Opportunistic infections in HIV-positive LGBT people showed decreasing attention over years, while other topics had a slight to moderate increase. Discussion: Our study underlined the exponential growth of publications on the LGBT population in HIV research, and suggested the importance of performing regional collaborations in improving research capacity. Moreover, further research should focus on examining the manner to increase the coverage of HIV testing and treatment, as well as implement HIV-interventions with low cost and easy to scale-up.

Climate change adaptation, gender, and mainstreaming: The role of gender in Fiji's relocation initiative - Bertana, Amanda; Blanton, Natalie (Climate and Development, 2022)
Climate change has elucidated already existing gender inequalities associated with unequal access to resources, decision-making processes, and higher exposure to environmental shocks and stressors. Growing acknowledgment of the gender-differentiated implications of climate change in recent years has placed gender equality as a focal point in international discourses on climate change adaptation. The policy perspective of gender equality is universalized, but how it transcribes in local climate change adaptation projects remains elusive. Using the relocation of Vunidogoloa, Fiji, this article explores the tension and compatibility between the way gender equality is discussed and how it is implemented in climate change adaptation projects. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Challenging the “old boys club” in academia: Gender and geographic representation in editorial boards of journals publishing in environmental sciences and public health - Dada, Sara; van Daalen, Kim Robin; Barrios-Ruiz, Alanna; Wu, Kai-Ti; Desjardins, Aidan; Bryce-Alberti, Mayte; Castro-Varela, Alejandra; Khorsand, Parnian; Santamarta Zamorano, Ander; Jung, Laura; Malolos, Grace; Li, Jiaqi; et al. (PLOS Global Public Health, 2022)
In light of global environmental crises and the need for sustainable development, the fields of public health and environmental sciences have become increasingly interrelated. Both fields require interdisciplinary thinking and global solutions, which is largely directed by scientific progress documented in peer-reviewed journals. Journal editors play a critical role in coordinating and shaping what is accepted as scientific knowledge. Previous research has demonstrated a lack of diversity in the gender and geographic representation of editors across scientific disciplines. This study aimed to explore the diversity of journal editorial boards publishing in environmental science and public health. The Clarivate Journal Citation Reports database was used to identify journals classified as Public, Environmental, and Occupational (PEO) Health, Environmental Studies, or Environmental Sciences. Current EB members were identified from each journal’s publicly available website between 1 March and 31 May 2021. Individuals’ names, editorial board roles, institutional affiliations, geographic locations (city, country), and inferred gender were collected. Binomial 95% confidence intervals were calculated for the proportions of interest. Pearson correlations with false discovery rate adjustment were used to assess the correlation between journal-based indicators and editorial board characteristics. Linear regression and logistic regression models were fitted to further assess the relationship between gender presence, low- and middle-income country (LMIC) presence and several journal and editor-based indicators. After identifying 628 unique journals and excluding discontinued or unavailable journals, 615 journal editorial boards were included. In-depth analysis was conducted on 591 journals with complete gender and geographic data for their 27,772 editors. Overall, the majority of editors were men (65.9%), followed by women (32.9%) and non-binary/other gender minorities (0.05%). 75.5% journal editorial boards (n = 446) were composed of a majority of men (>55% men), whilst only 13.2% (n = 78) demonstrated gender parity (between 45–55% women/gender minorities). Journals categorized as PEO Health had the most gender diversity. Furthermore, 84% of editors (n = 23,280) were based in high-income countries and only 2.5% of journals (n = 15) demonstrated economic parity in their editorial boards (between 45–55% editors from LMICs). Geographically, the majority of editors’ institutions were based in the United Nations (UN) Western Europe and Other region (76.9%), with 35.2% of editors (n = 9,761) coming solely from the United States and 8.6% (n = 2,373) solely from the United Kingdom. None of the editors-in-chief and only 27 editors in total were women based in low-income countries. Through the examination of journal editorial boards, this study exposes the glaring lack of diversity in editorial boards in environmental science and public health, explores the power dynamics affecting the creation and dissemination of knowledge, and proposes concrete actions to remedy these structural inequities in order to inform more equitable, just and impactful knowledge creation.

Sexual health studies in gay and lesbian people: A critical review of the literature - Mijas, Magdalena; Grabski, Bartosz; Blukacz, Mateusz; Davies, Dominic Pink Therapy, London, UK (The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2021)
Arrière-plan Le sujet de la santé sexuelle des gays et des lesbiennes semble être très peu étudié, au moins en partie en raison des limites générales inhérentes aux études sur la sexualité ainsi que des préjugés hétéronormatifs et des difficultés à atteindre ces populations. But Examiner de manière critique les études sur la santé sexuelle des gais et des lesbiennes afin d'identifier les lacunes et les préjugés existants dans la portée et la construction générale des recherches publiées. Méthodes L'ensemble de données comprenait 556 articles évalués par des pairs et identifiés grâce à la recherche Medline. Les caractéristiques clés des études ont été extraites selon le livre de codes développé pour cette étude et analysées de manière descriptive. Résultats Les résultats comprenaient : la méthodologie de recherche, la conception de l’étude, l’échantillonnage, le sujet de recherche et l’inclusion de la diversité dans les populations étudiées. Résultats La majorité des études étaient quantitatives (70,5 %), transversales (83,6 %) et utilisaient un échantillonnage de commodité (83,2 %). La plupart des articles portaient sur les comportements à risque en matière de VIH/IST, les vulnérabilités et la gestion des risques (26,3 %). Le sujet le moins souvent abordé concernait la fonction sexuelle des participants gais et lesbiennes plus âgés (0,5 %). Plus de 68 % des articles s'appuyaient sur des échantillons masculins et les études portant sur des échantillons exclusivement féminins en représentaient moins de 13 %. La plupart des études n'ont pas recruté de groupe d'âge spécifique (77,7 %) et incluaient des informations sur l'origine ethnique des participants à l'étude (62 %). Les informations sur l'éducation (58,7 %) ou d'autres indicateurs du statut socio-économique (52,8 %) étaient moins souvent déclarées. Traduction clinique Les limites méthodologiques des conceptions d'étude actuelles, des procédures d'échantillonnage et de la composition des échantillons, ainsi que de nombreuses zones d'omission limitent l'utilité clinique des recherches existantes. Points forts et Limites Cette étude offre un aperçu critique des défis les plus importants associés aux études sur la santé sexuelle des gais et des lesbiennes. La recherche dans la base de données Medline uniquement, l'inclusion exclusive d'articles rédigés en anglais et la portée limitée (sexualité gay et lesbienne uniquement) de la revue constituent les limites les plus importantes. Conclusions La santé sexuelle des gays et des lesbiennes est un domaine peu étudié, caractérisé par une concentration principale sur le VIH/IST et un manque de recherche de meilleure qualité incluant diverses sous-populations.

Social vulnerability and the impact of policy responses to COVID‐19 on disabled people - Mladenov, Teodor; Brennan, Ciara Siobhan (Sociology of Health & Illness, 2021)
In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for understanding the impact of the policy responses to COVID-19 on disabled people. These responses have overwhelmingly focused on individual vulnerability, which has been used as a justification for removing or restricting rights. This suggests the need to shift the attention towards the social determinants of disabled people's vulnerability. We do this by bringing literature on social vulnerability in disaster risk management or 'disaster studies' in contact with key concepts in disability studies such as the social model of disability, independent living, intersectionality, and biopower. Empirically, we draw on the findings of the global COVID-19 Disability Rights Monitor (www.covid-drm.org), as well as on reports from academic journals, civil society publications, and internet blogs. We put the proposed conceptual framework to work by developing a critical analysis of COVID-19 policies in three interrelated areas-institutional treatment and confinement of disabled people, intersectional harms, and access to health care. Our conclusion links this analysis with strategies to address disabled people's social vulnerability in post-pandemic reconstruction efforts. We make a case for policies that address the social, economic, and environmental conditions that disproportionately expose disabled people to natural disasters and hazards.

Systems thinking in COVID-19 recovery is urgently needed to deliver sustainable development for women and girls - Omukuti, Jessica; Barlow, Matt; Giraudo, Maria Eugenia; Lines, Tallulah; Grugel, Jean (The Lancet Planetary Health, 2021)
In low-income and middle-income countries, such as those in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, the COVID-19 pandemic has had substantial implications for women’s wellbeing. Policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the gendered aspect of pandemics; however, addressing the gendered implications of the COVID-19 pandemic comprehensively and effectively requires a planetary health perspective that embraces systems thinking to inequalities. This Viewpoint is based on collective reflections from research done by the authors on COVID-19 responses by international and regional organisations, and national governments, in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa between June, 2020, and June, 2021. A range of international and regional actors have made important policy recommendations to address the gendered implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on women’s health and wellbeing since the start of the pandemic. However, national-level policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have been partial and inconsistent with regards to gender in both sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, largely failing to recognise the multiple drivers of gendered health inequalities. This Viewpoint proposes that addressing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on women in low-income and middle-income countries should adopt a systems thinking approach and be informed by the question of who is affected as opposed to who is infected. In adopting the systems thinking approach, responses will be more able to recognise and address the direct gendered effects of the pandemic and those that emerge indirectly through a combination of long-standing structural inequalities and gendered responses to the pandemic.

Examining the cracks in universal water coverage: Women document the burdens of household water insecurity - Radonic, Lucero; Jacob, Cara E. (Water Alternatives, 2021)
L’accès universel à l’eau potable est considéré comme une caractéristique déterminante des villes du Nord global. Cet article décrit les défis quotidiens auxquels sont confrontées les femmes de la classe ouvrière de Flint, dans le Michigan, lorsque la promesse d’une infrastructure d’eau moderne se fissure. En 2014, afin de réduire les coûts, la source d’eau potable de Flint a été transférée du lac Huron à la rivière Flint. Ce changement, et plus particulièrement la manière dont il a été géré, a entraîné une contamination de l’approvisionnement en eau par du plomb et des agents pathogènes. Si l’expérience de Flint est désormais un cas emblématique d’insécurité hydrique dans le Nord global, elle n’est pas unique. À travers une étude de cas élaborée dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche participative communautaire, cet article détaille comment l’insécurité hydrique a transféré la charge de l’approvisionnement en eau potable aux ménages individuels, et plus particulièrement aux femmes. Plutôt que de pouvoir compter sur la main-d’œuvre et l’expertise technique qui ont rendu l’eau potable dans la ville moderne, les habitants de Flint ont été soudainement rendus responsables de la sécurité de leur propre approvisionnement en eau. Nous expliquons comment la crise de l’eau de Flint a fait naître une « nouvelle normalité » ; Nous examinons les façons dont cette situation a donné naissance à un nouveau rapport à l'eau potable, caractérisé par un (re)retour à l'eau en bouteille ou filtrée (de l'eau du robinet) et par un changement dans la répartition des tâches nécessaires à la production d'eau potable. Les témoignages de femmes que nous présentons ici illustrent comment, lorsque l'eau uniforme moderne fait défaut, les gens commencent à voir des eaux hétérogènes.

Menstruation: Science and society - Critchley, Hilary O. D.; Babayev, Elnur; Bulun, Serdar E.; Clark, Sandy; Garcia-Grau, Iolanda; Gregersen, Peter K.; Kilcoyne, Aoife; Kim, Ji-Yong Julie; Lavender, Missy; Marsh, Erica E.; Matteson, Kristen A.; Maybin, Jacqueline A.; et al. (American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2020)
Women's health concerns are generally underrepresented in basic and translational research, but reproductive health in particular has been hampered by a lack of understanding of basic uterine and menstrual physiology. Menstrual health is an integral part of overall health because between menarche and menopause, most women menstruate. Yet for tens of millions of women around the world, menstruation regularly and often catastrophically disrupts their physical, mental, and social well-being. Enhancing our understanding of the underlying phenomena involved in menstruation, abnormal uterine bleeding, and other menstruation-related disorders will move us closer to the goal of personalized care. Furthermore, a deeper mechanistic understanding of menstruation-a fast, scarless healing process in healthy individuals-will likely yield insights into a myriad of other diseases involving regulation of vascular function locally and systemically. We also recognize that many women now delay pregnancy and that there is an increasing desire for fertility and uterine preservation. In September 2018, the Gynecologic Health and Disease Branch of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development convened a 2-day meeting, "Menstruation: Science and Society" with an aim to "identify gaps and opportunities in menstruation science and to raise awareness of the need for more research in this field." Experts in fields ranging from the evolutionary role of menstruation to basic endometrial biology (including omic analysis of the endometrium, stem cells and tissue engineering of the endometrium, endometrial microbiome, and abnormal uterine bleeding and fibroids) and translational medicine (imaging and sampling modalities, patient-focused analysis of menstrual disorders including abnormal uterine bleeding, smart technologies or applications and mobile health platforms) to societal challenges in health literacy and dissemination frameworks across different economic and cultural landscapes shared current state-of-the-art and future vision, incorporating the patient voice at the launch of the meeting. Here, we provide an enhanced meeting report with extensive up-to-date (as of submission) context, capturing the spectrum from how the basic processes of menstruation commence in response to progesterone withdrawal, through the role of tissue-resident and circulating stem and progenitor cells in monthly regeneration-and current gaps in knowledge on how dysregulation leads to abnormal uterine bleeding and other menstruation-related disorders such as adenomyosis, endometriosis, and fibroids-to the clinical challenges in diagnostics, treatment, and patient and societal education. We conclude with an overview of how the global agenda concerning menstruation, and specifically menstrual health and hygiene, are gaining momentum, ranging from increasing investment in addressing menstruation-related barriers facing girls in schools in low- to middle-income countries to the more recent "menstrual equity" and "period poverty" movements spreading across high-income countries.

Menstrual health and period poverty among young people who menstruate in the Barcelona metropolitan area (Spain): protocol of a mixed-methods study - Medina-Perucha, Laura; Jacques-Aviñó, Constanza; Valls-Llobet, Carme; Turbau-Valls, Rosa; Pinzón, Diana; Hernández, Lola; Canseco, Paula Briales; López-Jiménez, Tomàs; Lizarza, Enara Solana; Feliu, Jordina Munrós; Berenguera, Anna (BMJ Open, 2020)
Introduction The importance of menstrual health has been historically neglected, mostly due to taboos and misconceptions around menstruation and androcentrism within health knowledge and health systems around the world. There has also been a lack of attention on ‘period poverty’, which refers to the financial, social, cultural and political barriers to access menstrual products and education. The main aim of this research is to explore menstrual health and experiences of period poverty among young people who menstruate (YPM). Methods and analysis This is a convergent mixed-methods study, which will combine a quantitative transversal study to identify the prevalence of period poverty among YPM (11–16 years old), and a qualitative study that will focus on exploring menstruation-related experiences of YPM and other groups (young people who do not menstruate (YNM); primary healthcare professionals; educators and policy-makers). The study will be conducted in the Barcelona metropolitan area between 2020 and 2021. Eighteen schools and 871 YPM will be recruited for the quantitative study. Sixty-five YPM will participate in the qualitative study. Forty-five YNM and 12 professionals will also be recruited to take part in the qualitative study. Socioeconomic and cultural diversity will be main vectors for recruitment, to ensure the findings are representative to the social and cultural context. Descriptive statistics will be performed for each variable to identify asymmetric distributions and differences among groups will be evaluated. Thematic analysis will be used for qualitative data analyses Ethics and dissemination Several ethical issues have been considered, especially as this study includes the participation of underage participants. The study has received ethical approval by the IDIAPJGol Research Ethics Committee (19/178 P). Research findings will be disseminated to key audiences, such as YPM, YNM, parents/legal tutors, health professionals, educators, youth (and other relevant) organisations, general community members, stakeholders and policy-makers, and academia.

Women worry about family, men about the economy: Gender differences in emotional responses to covid-19 - van der Vegt, Isabelle; Kleinberg, Bennett (Social Informatics, 2020)
Among the critical challenges around the COVID-19 pandemic is dealing with the potentially detrimental effects on people’s mental health. Designing appropriate interventions and identifying the concerns of those most at risk requires methods that can extract worries, concerns and emotional responses from text data. We examine gender differences and the effect of document length on worries about the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Our findings suggest that i) short texts do not offer as adequate insights into psychological processes as longer texts. We further find ii) marked gender differences in topics concerning emotional responses. Women worried more about their loved ones and severe health concerns while men were more occupied with effects on the economy and society. This paper adds to the understanding of general gender differences in language found elsewhere, and shows that the current unique circumstances likely amplified these effects. We close this paper with a call for more high-quality datasets due to the limitations of Tweet-sized data.

Adaptability to social distancing due to COVID-19 and its moderating effect on stress by gender - Zamarripa, Jorge; Delgado-Herrada, Maritza; Morquecho-Sánchez, Raquel; Baños, Raúl; de la Cruz-Ortega, Manuel; Duarte-Félix, Héctor (Salud mental, 2020)
The COVID-19 pandemic, originated in China, has affected millions of people worldwide, leading to various situations such as psychological disorders and diseases that affect people’s physical and mental health, and disrupt their quality of life. Objective. To analyze stress levels during social distancing due to COVID-19 by gender and to determine the moderating effect of adaptability to the situation. Method. The study is cross-sectional and quantitative, with a descriptive-correlational scope. The sample consisted of 1,173 Mexican subjects (522 males [44.5%] and 651 females [22.5%]) with an average age of 25.99 years (DT = 11.19; range = 12 - 77 years). Adaptability and perceived stress were measured, obtaining reliability from appropriate instruments. Results. The results indicated that the greater the number of weeks of social distancing, the higher the perceived level of stress. Also, the better people adapt to social distancing, the less stress occurs. Women were observed to have higher levels of stress compared to men. Discussion and conclusion. The findings highlight the importance of adaptability to the stressful situation of the pandemic, because the effect of severe stress on women largely disappears when there is a high level of adaptability to the event.

Gendered mortality differentials over the rural-urban continuum: The analysis of census linked longitudinal data from England and Wales - Allan, Rebecca; Williamson, Paul; Kulu, Hill (Social Science & Medicine, 2019)
Background Previous research shows that mortality varies significantly by residential context; however, the nature of this variation is unclear. Some studies report higher mortality levels in urban compared to rural areas, whereas others suggest elevated mortality in rural areas or a complex U-shaped relationship. Further, the extent to which compositional factors explain urban-rural mortality variation, the extent to which contextual factors play a role and whether and how the patterns vary by gender also remain unclear. This study investigates urban-rural mortality variation in England and Wales and the causes of this variation. Method The study applies survival analysis to the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study; the population aged 20 and older in 2001 is followed for 10 years. Results and conclusions The analysis demonstrates a clear urban-rural mortality gradient, with the risk of dying increasing with each level of urbanisation. The exceptions are those living in areas adjacent to London, who consistently exhibit lower mortality than anticipated. Once the models are adjusted to individuals’ socio-economic characteristics, the variation across the urban-rural continuum reduces substantially, although the gradient persists suggesting contextual effects. Females are found to be influenced more by their surrounding environment and males by their socio-economic position, although both experience lower mortality in rural compared to urban areas.

Gender analysis for one health: Theoretical perspectives and recommendations for practice - Friedson-Ridenour, Sophia; Dutcher, Tracy V.; Calderon, Claudia; DiPrete Brown, Lori; Olsen, Christopher W (EcoHealth, 2019)
One health emphasizes the interdependent health of humans, animals, and their shared environments and shows promise as an integrated, equitable transdisciplinary approach to important ecohealth issues. Notably, research or programming explicitly examining the intersection of gender and one health is limited, although females represent half of the human population and play important roles in human and animal health around the world. Recognizing these gaps, scholars from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in collaboration with United States Department of Agriculture convened a consultative workshop, ‘‘Women and One Health,’’ in 2016. This paper outlines the workshop methods and highlights outcomes toward shared terminology and integration of frameworks from one health, gender analysis, and women in agriculture. Further, recommendations for education, policy, and service delivery at the intersection of women’s empowerment and one health are offered as important efforts toward the dual goals of gender equality and sustainable health of humans,animals, and their shared ecosystems.

Gender and water insecurity in a subarctic Indigenous community - Hanrahan, Maura; Mercer, Nicholas (The Canadian Geographer / Le Géographe canadien, 2019)
Indigenous communities in Canada suffer disproportionately from compromised water insecurity, with multiple negative implications. Some attention has been paid to gender and water insecurity in developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, but the topic has been neglected for subarctic settings. We conducted long-term research in Black Tickle, a remote Inuit community in Labrador, Canada, with no piped water and limited access to potable water. Our research was aimed at understanding the multiple dimensions of water security, identifying materialist responses, and conducting a pilot project in domestic rainwater harvesting. Water security emerged as a gendered phenomenon. We supplemented our reflective analysis on this research with two focus group discussions during which Inuit women described their experiences of water security. Participants reported that their physical and mental health are undermined by water insecurity and that water is a source of multiple stresses that demand resilience. Given a developing remittance economy, gender was identified as an increasingly significant determinant of water insecurity in this subarctic community. Having to retrieve water themselves, Inuit women experience altered gender norms and a persistent values conflict in addition to physical strain. Water acquisition is an added responsibility, impacting their labour load. Alternatively, in relying on available men to retrieve water, participants reported feeling guilty and anxious and they worried about men fetching water in dangerous weather conditions and in the vicinity of dangerous wildlife. Participants’ experiences make clear the urgency for a materialist response to water insecurity in the Indigenous subarctic.

Structural competency in emergency medicine services for transgender and gender non-conforming patients - Willging, Cathleen; Gunderson, Lara; Shattuck, Daniel; Sturm, Robert; Lawyer, Adrien; Crandall, Cameron (Social Science & Medicine, 2019)
In this formative qualitative research, we draw upon the concepts of structural vulnerability and structural competency to examine how transgender and gender non-conforming (TGGNC) patients and healthcare personnel experience service delivery in Emergency Departments (EDs), and how this experience can be improved upon. Between October 2016 and June 2017, we undertook 31 semi-structured interviews with TGGNC patients (n = 11) and physicians (n = 6), nurses (n = 7), and non-clinical staff (n = 7) in four community-based EDs in New Mexico. Our iterative coding and analysis process resulted in eight sets of findings: (1) reasons why TGGNC patients seek care from EDs; (2) perceptions about and experiences of TGGNC patients; (3) relevance of gender identity and sex at birth; (4) bureaucracy and communication; (5) spatial considerations; (6) preparing providers and staff to care for TGGNC patients; (7) the lack of resources for structural prescriptions; and (8) respect, humanity, and sameness. Findings suggest that structural issues adversely impact the health and wellbeing of TGGNC patients and service-delivery practices in the ED. We describe study implications for training ED personnel and modifying this practice setting to prevent delayed care and ensure appropriate services for TGGNC patients in need of structurally competent emergency medicine.

Women in clinical trials: A review of policy development and health equity in the Canadian context - Yakerson, Alla (International Journal for Equity in Health, 2019)
Health equity in pharmaceutical research is concerned with creating equal opportunities for men and women to partake in clinical trials. Equitable representation is imperative for determining the safety, effectiveness, and tolerance of drugs for all consumers. Historically, women have been excluded from participating in clinical research leading to a lack of knowledge regarding drug effects and their consequences. This paper examines the changes made since the implementation of Canadian policies on the representation of women in clinical trials, the analysis of sex and gender, as well as the discourses that are prominent among researchers. A feminist ethics framework is used to examine the structures that endeavor to elucidate women’s involvement in trials, as experienced under extensive patriarchal history. Scholarly literature and Canadian government policy documents are used to explore the development of clinical trials as pertaining to sex and gender. Findings suggest that women continue to be underrepresented or excluded from important research, highlighting ongoing ethical and justice concerns. Improvement recommendations for policies are outlined.

Autoethnography as feminist method: Sensiting the feminist 'I' - Ettorre, Elizabeth (Routledge, 2018)
Autoethnography is an ideal method to study the ‘feminist I’. Through personal stories, the author reflects on how feminists negotiate agency and the effect this has on one's political sensibilities. Speaking about oneself transforms into stories of political responsibility - a key issue for feminists who function as cultural mediators.

The association between satisfaction with husband's participation in housework and suicidal ideation among married working women in Korea. - Lee, Sang Ah; Park, Eun-Cheol; Ju, Yeong Jun; Han, Kyu-Tae; Yoon, Hyo Jung; Kim, Tae Hyun (Psychiatry research, 2018)
Although married women are increasingly participating in paid labor, housework remains their primary responsibility. This uneven distribution of housework could have a negative impact on their mental health. In this study, we examined the association between satisfaction with husbands' participation in housework and suicidal ideation in married working women. Data were obtained from 3544 participants of the fourth and fifth waves of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families. Satisfaction with husbands' participation in housework was classified as satisfactory, less satisfactory, and dissatisfactory. A generalized estimating equations model was used to examine the association. Those who were dissatisfied with their husbands' participation in housework were 2.65 times more likely to think about suicide than those who were satisfied. Subgroup analysis showed that women with an egalitarian gender ideology or low job dissatisfaction were more likely to think about suicide when they were dissatisfied with their husbands' participation in housework. In conclusion, married working women who were dissatisfied with their husbands' participation in housework are more likely to think about suicide than those who are satisfied. Therefore, fostering an environment of fair distribution of housework is necessary for alleviating their stress from the dual burden of work and family. (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Climate change, colonialism, and women’s well-being in Canada: What is to be done? - Williams, Lewis (Canadian Journal of Public Health, 2018)
The impacts of accelerating climate change across Canada are unequally distributed between populations and regions. Emerging evidence shows climate change and resultant policies to be worsening gendered social and economic inequities between women and men, with women’s participation largely absent in climate change research and decision-making. These dynamics are resulting in negative impacts for women’s well-being, with Indigenous and historically marginalized women at increased risk of experiencing health inequities as a result of climate change. To date, public health discourse has largely failed to incorporate gender as a key determinant of health in discussions of climate change impacts on populations. Paralleling this lack of development, the entangled relationship between climate and colonialism tends to be subsumed under the term “Aboriginality” within health determinants discourse. This commentary on gender and climate change in Canada is framed within a radical intersectional approach as an alternative course of public health analysis and action aimed at addressing resulting health and power inequities. Following an overview of evidence regarding the gendered impacts of climate change on women’s work, roles, agency, and well-being, several possible public health action areas on climate change and gender are highlighted as necessary components for resilient communities capable of meeting contemporary challenges.

Sex and gender considerations in transplant research: A scoping review - Laprise, Claudie; Cole, Katherine; Sridhar, Vikas Srinivasan; Marenah, Tida; Crimi, Cassandra; West, Lori; Foster, Bethany J.; Pilote, Louise; Sapir-Pichhadze, Ruth (Transplantation, 2017)
Background Despite the growing appreciation of the importance of sex and gender considerations in transplantation research, there is currently no framework or good practice guidelines for the appropriate handling of sex and gender issues in human allotransplantation research. Methods We will conduct a scoping review to synthesize the evidence on how matters of sex and gender have been handled in human allotransplantation research. We will survey the literature discussing sex and gender in relation to transplantation, including adult and pediatric patients, hematopoietic and solid organ transplant recipients as well as organ donors. We will search MEDLINE and Embase for literature discussing sex and gender in relation to transplantation. Two reviewers will independently evaluate the eligibility of all identified titles and abstracts for inclusion in the full text review, as well as data extraction. Descriptive data and information on how sex and gender have been considered in human transplantation research will be reported. Discussion This scoping review will be an important stepping stone towards the development of good practice guidelines on study design and analysis considerations when handling sex and gender issues in human transplantation research. This scoping review can also help identify methodological issues that restrict the translation of transplantation research findings into clinical practice related to underestimation of sex/gender differences. This review will ultimately identify major gaps, inform donor-recipient selection, guide personalized interventions, and prioritize research recommendations in human transplantation research.

A visual analysis of gender bias in contemporary anatomy textbooks - Parker, Rhiannon; Larkin, Theresa; Cockburn, Jon (Social Science & Medicine, 2017)
Les recherches empiriques ont établi un lien entre les préjugés sexistes dans l’enseignement médical et les attitudes et comportements négatifs des prestataires de soins de santé. Pourtant, cela fait plus de 20 ans que les recherches n’ont pas examiné dans quelle mesure les femmes et les hommes sont représentés de manière égale dans les manuels d’anatomie . En outre, les recherches antérieures n’ont pas exploré au-delà de la quantité de représentation pour examiner également les stéréotypes visuels de genre et, à la lumière des avancées théoriques dans le domaine de la recherche intersectionnelle, la relation entre les représentations du genre et les représentations de l’ethnicité, du type de corps, de la santé et de l’âge. Cette étude visait à déterminer l’existence et la représentation des préjugés sexistes dans les principaux manuels d’anatomie utilisés dans les écoles de médecine australiennes. Une analyse systématique du contenu visuel a été menée sur 6044 images dans lesquelles le sexe/genre pouvait être identifié, provenant de 17 principaux manuels d’anatomie publiés entre 2008 et 2013. Une analyse de contenu plus approfondie a été réalisée sur les 521 images narratives, qui représentent une histoire en cours, trouvées dans les mêmes manuels. Les résultats indiquent que la représentation du genre dans les images des manuels d’anatomie reste majoritairement masculine, sauf dans les sections spécifiques au sexe. En outre, d’autres formes de biais ont été constatées dans : la visualisation d’émotions, de rôles et de contextes stéréotypés en fonction du sexe ; le manque de diversité ethnique, d’âge et de type corporel ; et dans l’adhésion presque totale à une conception binaire sexe/genre. Malgré une attention accrue portée aux questions de genre en médecine, la représentation visuelle du genre dans les programmes médicaux continue d’être biaisée. La construction biaisée du genre dans les manuels d’anatomie conçus pour l’enseignement médical fournit aux futurs prestataires de soins de santé des informations inadéquates et irréalistes sur les patients.

Radical reproductive justice: Foundation, theory, practice - Ross, Loretta; Roberts, Lynn; Derkas, Erika; Peoples, Whitney; Bridgewater Toure, Pamela (Feminist press, 2017)
Expanding the social justice discourse surrounding "reproductive rights" to include issues of environmental justice, incarceration, poverty, disability, and more, this crucial anthology explores the practical applications for activist thought migrating from the community into the academy. Radical Reproductive Justice assembles two decades’ of work initiated by SisterSong Women of Color Health Collective, creators of the human rights-based “reproductive justice” framework to move beyond polarized pro-choice/pro-life debates. Rooted in Black feminism and built on intersecting identities, this revolutionary framework asserts a woman's right to have children, to not have children, and to parent and provide for the children they have.

Gender differentials and old age survival in the Nairobi slums, Kenya - Bennett, Rachel; Chepngeno-Langat, Gloria; Evandrou, Maria; Falkingham, Jane (Social Science & Medicine, 2016)
This paper examines gender differentials in survival amongst older people (50+ years) in the Nairobi slums and to the best of our knowledge is the first study of its kind in an urban African setting. The results provide evidence contrary to the expected paradox of poorer self-rated health yet better survival amongst older women. Older women in the Nairobi slums have poorer self-rated health and poorer circumstances across other factors, including disability and socio-economic status. Further, older women in the slums do not have better survival. The conventional female advantage in mortality only becomes apparent after accounting for the cumulative influence of individual characteristics, social networks, health and socio-economic status, suggesting the female advantage in unadjusted old-age mortality does not apply to contexts where women experience significant disadvantage across multiple life domains. This highlights the urgent need to redress the support, status and opportunities available for women across the life course in contexts such as the Nairobi slums. In addition, a greater number of factors differentiate mortality risk amongst men than amongst women, suggesting inequality amongst slum dwelling older men and highlighting the need for gender sensitive interventions which account for the particular needs of both genders in old age.

A gendered human rights analysis of Ebola and Zika: Locating gender in global health emergencies - Davies, Sara E.; Bennett, Belinda (International Affairs, 2016)
Globally gender remains a key factor in differing health outcomes for men and women. This article analyses the particular relevance of gender for debates about global health and the role for international human rights law in supporting improved health outcomes during public health emergencies. Looking specifically at the recent Ebola and Zika outbreaks, what we find particularly troubling in both cases is the paucity of engagement with human rights language and the diverse backgrounds of women in these locations of crisis, when women-specific advice was being issued. We find the lessons that should have been learnt from the Ebola experience have not been applied in the Zika outbreak and there remains a disconnect between the international public health advice being issued and the experience of pervasive structural gender inequalities among those experiencing the crises. In both cases we find that responses at the outbreak of the crisis presume that women have economic, social or regulatory options to exercise the autonomy contained in international advice. The problem in the case of both Ebola and Zika has been that leaving structural gender inequalities out of the crisis response has further compounded those inequalities. The article argues for a contextual human rights analysis that takes into account gender as a social and economic determinant of health.

Why sex and gender matter in implementation research - Tannenbaum, Cara; Greaves, Lorraine; Graham, Ian D. (BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2016)
Arrière-plan Les organismes de financement de la recherche en santé et les rédacteurs de revues scientifiques ont récemment intensifié leurs efforts pour accroître la prise en compte des questions de sexe et de genre dans la conception, la conduite et la communication des études afin de garantir que les résultats de la recherche s’appliquent à tous. Cependant, l’examen de la littérature sur la recherche sur la mise en œuvre révèle que l’attention portée au sexe et au genre n’a pas encore infiltré les méthodes de recherche dans ce domaine. Discussion Les raisons pour lesquelles le sexe et le genre sont systématiquement pris en compte dans la recherche sur la mise en œuvre sont multiples. Le sexe et le genre sont importants dans la prise de décision, la communication, l’engagement des parties prenantes et les préférences pour l’adoption des interventions. Les rôles de genre, l’identité de genre, les relations de genre et le genre institutionnalisé influencent la manière dont une stratégie de mise en œuvre fonctionne, pour qui, dans quelles circonstances et pourquoi. De nouvelles preuves montrent que les théories des programmes peuvent fonctionner différemment au sein et entre les sexes, les genres et d’autres caractéristiques intersectionnelles dans diverses circonstances. En outre, sans une étude appropriée, les stratégies de mise en œuvre peuvent exploiter ou ignorer par inadvertance, plutôt que de transformer la réflexion sur le sexe et les facteurs liés au genre. Des techniques sont décrites pour mesurer et analyser le sexe et le genre dans la recherche sur la mise en œuvre en utilisant des méthodes à la fois quantitatives et qualitatives. Résumé Le présent article décrit l’application de méthodes d’intégration du sexe et du genre dans la recherche sur la mise en œuvre. Poser systématiquement des questions critiques sur le sexe et le genre conduira probablement à la découverte de résultats positifs, ainsi que de conséquences imprévues. Le résultat a le potentiel de renforcer à la fois la pratique et la science de la mise en œuvre, d’améliorer les résultats en matière de santé et de réduire les inégalités entre les sexes.

Race, gender, class, sexuality (RGCS) and hypertension - Veenstra, Gerry (Social Science & Medicine, 2013)
Informed by intersectionality theory, a tradition that theorizes intersecting power relations of racism, patriarchy, classism and heterosexism, this paper investigates the degree to which race, gender, class and sexuality manifest distinct and interconnected associations with self-reported hypertension in nationally-representative survey data from Canada. Binary logistic regression is used to model the main effects of, and interactions between, race, gender, education, household income and sexual orientation on hypertension, controlling for age, using data from the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey (n = 90,310). From a main effects (‘additive’) perspective, Black respondents, respondents with less than high school and poorer respondents were significantly more likely than White respondents, university-educated Canadians and wealthier Canadians, respectively, to report hypertension. However, the interactive models indicate that the additive models were poor predictors of hypertension for wealthy Black men, wealthy South Asian women, women with less than a high school diploma and wealthy bisexual respondents, who were more likely than expected to report hypertension, and for poor Black men, poor South Asian women, poor South Asian men and women with a university degree, who were less likely than expected to report hypertension. It appears that, with regard to blood pressure at least, Canadians experience the health effects of education differently by their genders and the health effects of income differently by their identities defined at the intersection of race and gender. This study provides empirical support for the intersectional approach to cardiovascular health inequalities by demonstrating that race, gender, class and sexuality cannot be disentangled from one another as predictors of hypertension.

Gender, health and theory: Conceptualizing the issue, in local and world perspective - Connell, Raewyn (Social Science & Medicine, 2012)
Les documents de politique publique sur le genre et la santé reposent pour la plupart sur des conceptions catégoriques du genre qui sont aujourd’hui inadéquates. La pensée poststructuraliste est une avancée, mais les théories relationnelles du genre, qui considèrent le genre comme une structure multidimensionnelle opérant dans un réseau complexe d’institutions, offrent l’approche la plus prometteuse de l’incarnation genrée et de son lien avec les questions de santé. Des exemples sont présentés dans cet article. Un problème crucial est de savoir comment faire évoluer l’analyse au-delà des arènes locales, en particulier pour comprendre le genre à l’échelle mondiale. Une approche relationnelle de cette question est proposée, considérant l’incarnation genrée comme intimement liée à l’histoire violente du colonialisme, à la violence structurelle de la mondialisation contemporaine et à la création d’institutions genrées à l’échelle mondiale, y compris les entreprises, les professions et les agences d’État du secteur de la santé. Le genre est considéré comme le processus social actif qui fait entrer les corps reproductifs dans l’histoire, générant des conséquences sur la santé non pas comme un effet secondaire mais dans la création même du genre.

Virtue and vulnerability: Discourses on women, gender and climate change - Arora-Jonsson, Seema (Global Environmental Change, 2011)
In the limited literature on gender and climate change, two themes predominate – women as vulnerable or virtuous in relation to the environment. Two viewpoints become obvious: women in the South will be affected more by climate change than men in those countries and that men in the North pollute more than women. The debates are structured in specific ways in the North and the South and the discussion in the article focuses largely on examples from Sweden and India. The article traces the lineage of the arguments to the women, environment and development discussions, examining how they recur in new forms in climate debates. Questioning assumptions about women's vulnerability and virtuousness, it highlights how a focus on women's vulnerability or virtuousness can deflect attention from inequalities in decision-making. By reiterating statements about poor women in the South and the pro-environmental women of the North, these assumptions reinforce North–South biases. Generalizations about women's vulnerability and virtuousness can lead to an increase in women's responsibility without corresponding rewards. There is need to contextualise debates on climate change to enable action and to respond effectively to its adverse effects in particular places.

Efficacy of micro-financing women's activities in Côte d'Ivoire: Evidence from rural areas and HIV/AIDS-affected women - Binaté Fofana, Namizata (Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2010)
This book deals with the effectiveness and the capability of microfinance institutions (MFIs) to enhance women's livelihoods and empowerment and to mitigate the effects of HIV and AIDS in Côte d'Ivoire. The results show that MFI credit causes positive and negative effects. MFI credit has improved incomes, the level of farm production and human and social capital. MFI credit has also enhanced women's decision-making power within households due to their new ability to contribute to the improvement of the household standard of living. Furthermore, women's empowerment regarding the demand for and the use of credit give them more opportunity to obtain MFI credit. Despite the positive effects of MFIs on women's income, this publication shows that loan repayment was not successful among some female borrowers due to the fact that the loan has not been used for investment purposes. For MFIs, the diversion of loans can endanger their functioning and sustainability and therefore their effectiveness in rural areas. Regarding HIV, this book highlights the diversity and the specificity of the way HIV-affected individuals are financially supported by credit institutions. Both the direct and indirect effects of HIV and AIDS on women's livelihood and MFIs are analysed.

Gender and climate change: An introduction - Dankelman, Irene (Routledge, 2010)
Bien que le changement climatique affecte tout le monde, il n'est pas neutre du point de vue du genre. Il a des répercussions sociales importantes et amplifie les inégalités existantes, notamment la disparité entre les femmes et les hommes en termes de vulnérabilité et de capacité à faire face à ce phénomène mondial. Ce nouveau manuel, édité par l'un des auteurs de l'ouvrage phare Les femmes et l'environnement dans le tiers monde : une alliance pour l'avenir (1988), qui a été le premier à exposer les liens entre la dégradation de l'environnement et les impacts inégaux sur les femmes, offre une introduction complète aux aspects sexistes du changement climatique. Plus de 35 auteurs ont contribué à l'ouvrage. Il commence par un bref historique de la pensée et de la pratique autour du genre et du développement durable au cours des dernières décennies. Il fournit ensuite un cadre théorique pour analyser les manifestations et les politiques du changement climatique du point de vue du genre et de la sécurité humaine. S'appuyant sur de nouvelles recherches, les effets réels et potentiels du changement climatique sur l'égalité des sexes et la vulnérabilité des femmes sont examinés, tant dans les contextes ruraux qu'urbains. Cela est illustré par une riche gamme d'études de cas du monde entier et de précieuses leçons sont tirées de ces expériences réelles. Les femmes sont trop souvent considérées comme des victimes du changement climatique et leur rôle positif en tant qu’agentes du changement et contributrices aux stratégies de subsistance est négligé. L’ouvrage conteste cette caractérisation et fournit de nombreux exemples de la manière dont les femmes du monde entier s’organisent, renforcent leur résilience et s’adaptent au changement climatique, ainsi que du rôle qu’elles jouent dans l’atténuation du changement climatique. La dernière partie examine les progrès réalisés en matière d’intégration de la dimension de genre dans l’atténuation et l’adaptation au changement climatique, les cadres politiques en place et la manière dont nous pouvons passer de la politique à l’action efficace. Accompagné d’un large éventail de références et de ressources clés, cet ouvrage offre aux étudiants et aux professionnels une introduction essentielle et complète aux aspects sexistes du changement climatique.

Butch/femme, F2M, pregnant man, tranny-boi: Gender issues in the lesbian community - Herbert, Sandra (Journal of Gay and Lesbian Mental Health, 2010)
The author discusses issues pertaining to transgender women and girls. Women identifying as male or transitioning to becoming male are often ignored in the scientific and lay literature on transgender people. The many newer terms for transgender women and girls are discussed, as well as new ways for transgender girls to express their identities. The importance of family and community supports is discussed, and common issues that young transgender people bring into mental health treatment are elucidated.

The gendered experience of stigmatization in severe and persistent mental illness in Lima, Peru - Robillard, Chantal (Social Science & Medicine, 2010)
Bien que les différences de pouvoir qui permettent aux composantes de la stigmatisation de se déployer aient été identifiées, la littérature démontrant les disparités de genre dans la stigmatisation est rare. En utilisant un cadre basé sur le genre, cet article vise d'abord à comprendre les signaux sociaux sexistes qui produisent la stigmatisation de la maladie mentale adoptée par la population générale. Deuxièmement, il met en évidence l'influence du genre sur les expériences quotidiennes d'une maladie mentale grave et persistante et la stigmatisation qui y est associée. Les résultats sont tirés d'une combinaison de méthodes ethnographiques et qualitatives, notamment une ethnographie de terrain de deux centres de santé, d'un hôpital psychiatrique et des ménages et quartiers des participants, deux discussions de groupe avec des membres de la population générale participant à des groupes de soutien social spécifiques au genre ( N = 12 femmes/5 hommes) et des récits de maladie d'hommes et de femmes atteints d'une maladie mentale grave et persistante ( N = 22), qui a été menée de mai à août 2006 dans un district urbain pauvre du Pérou. Dans une société comme celle du Pérou, où les rôles de genre sont séparés en domaines sociaux et économiques spécifiques, les attentes sexistes façonnent à la fois l’expérience d’une maladie mentale grave et persistante et la stigmatisation des personnes atteintes d’une telle maladie mentale d’une manière spécifique au genre. Non seulement les inégalités entre les sexes créent les conditions conduisant à un différentiel de pouvoir qui permet à la stigmatisation de se développer, mais la stigmatisation se construit autant autour de rôles sociaux définis par le genre qu’elle est mise en œuvre dans des sphères sociales distinctes pour les hommes et les femmes atteints d’une maladie mentale grave et persistante. L’expérience sexuée de la stigmatisation doit donc être pleinement comprise afin de concevoir des interventions plus efficaces qui remettraient en question les perceptions stéréotypées et les pratiques discriminatoires, et réduiraient leur effet sur la vie quotidienne des malades mentaux au Pérou.

From gender bias to gender awareness in medical education - Verdonk, Petra; Benschop, Yvonne W. M.; de Haes, Hanneke C. J. M.; Lagro-Janssen, Toine L. M. (Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2009)
Gender is an essential determinant of health and illness. Gender awareness in doctors contributes to equity and equality in health and aims towards better health for men and women. Nevertheless, gender has largely been ignored in medicine. First, it is stated that medicine was ‘gender blind’ by not considering gender whenever relevant. Secondly, medicine is said to be ‘male biased’ because the largest body of knowledge on health and illness is about men and their health. Thirdly, gender role ideology negatively influences treatment and health outcomes. Finally, gender inequality has been overlooked as a determinant of health and illness. The uptake of gender issues in medical education brings about specific challenges for several reasons. For instance, the political-ideological connotations of gender issues create resistance especially in traditionalists in medical schools. Secondly, it is necessary to clarify which gender issues must be integrated in which domains. Also, some are interdisciplinary issues and as such more difficult to integrate. Finally, schools need assistance with implementation. The integration of psychosocial issues along with biomedical ones in clinical cases, the dissemination of literature and education material, staff education, and efforts towards structural embedding of gender in curricula are determining factors for successful implementation. Gender equity is not a spontaneous process. Medical education provides specific opportunities that may contribute to transformation for medical schools educate future doctors for future patients in future settings. Consequently, future benefits legitimize the integration of gender as a qualitative investment in medical education.

Butch/Femme differences in substance use and abuse among young lesbian and bisexual women: Examination and potential explanations. - Rosario, Margaret; Schrimshaw, Eric W; Hunter, Joyce (Substance use & misuse, 2008)
The current study examined the role of gender atypical self-presentation on the alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana use, as well as symptoms of substance abuse/misuse, of an ethnically diverse sample of 76 young (ages 14-21 years) lesbian and bisexual women who were interviewed between 1993 and 1995 in New York City. Even after controlling for age, sexual identity, and social desirability, young butch women reported drinking alcohol more frequently and in greater quantity, smoking more cigarettes, and using marijuana more frequently than young femme women. Experiences of gay-related stressful events, internalized homophobia, and emotional distress were found to largely account for the butch/femme differences in tobacco and marijuana use, but not in higher levels of alcohol use. Despite the small convenience sample, these findings suggest that intervention efforts to address the higher levels of substance use among young lesbian and bisexual women may increase effectiveness by also addressing experiences of gay-related stress and emotional distress of young butch women. The study's limitations are noted

Voices of South Asian Women: Immigration and Mental Health - Ahmad, Farah; Shik, Angela; Vanza, Reena; Cheung, Angela M.; George, Usha; Stewart, Donna E. (Women & Health, 2005)
Purpose: This qualitative research aimed to elicit experiences and beliefs of recent South Asian immigrant women about their major health concerns after immigration. Methods: Four focus groups were conducted with 24 Hindi-speaking women who had lived less than five years in Canada. The audiotaped data were transcribed, translated, and analyzed by identification of themes and subcategories. Results: Mental health (MH) emerged as an overarching health concern with three major themes, i.e., appraisal of the mental burden (extent and general susceptibility), stress-inducing factors, and coping strategies. Many participants agreed that MH did not become a concern to them until after immigration. Women discussed their compromised MH using verbal and symptomatic expressions. The stress-inducing factors identified by participants included loss of social support, economic uncertainties, downward social mobility, mechanistic lifestyle, barriers in accessing health services, and climatic and food changes. Women's major coping strategies included increased efforts to socialize, use of preventative health practices and self-awareness. Conclusion: Although participant women discussed a number of ways to deal with post-immigration stressors, the women's perceived compromised mental health reflects the inadequacy of their coping strategies and the available resources. Despite access to healthcare providers, women failed to identify healthcare encounters as opportunities to seek help and discuss their mental health concerns. Health and social care programs need to actively address the compromised mental health perceived by the studied group.

Climate change vulnerability, impacts, and adaptation: Why does gender matter? - Denton, Fatma (Gender & Development, 2002)
Gender-related inequalities are pervasive in the developing world. Although women account for almost 80 per cent of the agricultural sector in Africa, they remain vulnerable and poor. Seventy per cent of the 1.3 billion people in the developing world living below the threshold of poverty are women. It is important that the consequences of climate change should not lead already marginalised sections of communities into further deprivation. But key development issues have been at best sidetracked, and at worst blatantly omitted, from policy debates on climate change. The threats posed by global warming have failed to impress on policy-makers the importance of placing women at the heart of their vision of sustainable development. This article argues that if climate change policy is about ensuring a sustainable future by combining development and environment issues, it must take into account the interests of all stakeholders. The Global Environment Facility and the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol can play a role in ensuring sustainable development, provided they are implemented in a way that does not disadvantage women and the poor.

Gender differences in health in later life: The new paradox? - Arber, Sara; Cooper, Helen (Social Science & Medicine, 1999)
This paper examines gender differences in health, based on data from over 14,000 men and women aged 60 and above from 3 years of the British General Household Survey, 1992±1994. There is little difference between the sexes in the reporting of self-assessed health and limiting longstanding illness, but older women are substantially more likely to experience functional impairment in mobility and personal self-care than men of the same age. These ®ndings persist after controlling for the dierential social position of men and women according to their marital status, social class, income and housing tenure. The results reveal a paradox in health reporting among older people; for a given level of disability, women are less likely to assess their health as being poor than men of the same age after accounting for structural factors. Older women's much higher level of functional impairment co-exists with a lack of gender difference in self-assessed health. # 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

Review of community-based research : Assessing partnership approaches to improve public health - Israel, Barbara A.; Schulz, Amy J.; Parker, Edith A.; Becker, Adam B. (Annual Review of Public Health, 1998)
« Community-based research in public health focuses on social, structural, and physical environmental inequities through active involvement of community members, organizational representatives, and researchers in all aspects of the research process. Partners contribute their expertise to enhance understanding of a given phenomenon and to integrate the knowledge gained with action to benefit the community involved. This review provides a synthesis of key principles of community-based research, examines its place within the context of different scientific paradigms, discusses rationales for its use, and explores major challenges and facilitating factors and their implications for conducting effective community-based research aimed at improving the public's health » [Résumé original]

Don’t blame women for low libido. Sexual sparks fly when partners do their share of chores – including calling the plumber - Buzwell, Simone; Johansen, Eva (The Conversation, 2022)
When a comic about “mental load” went viral in 2017, it sparked conversations about the invisible workload women carry. Even when women are in paid employment, they remember their mother-in-law’s birthday, know what’s in the pantry and organise the plumber. This mental load often goes unnoticed. Women also continue to do more housework and childcare than their male partners. This burden has been exacerbated over the recent pandemic (homeschooling anyone?), leaving women feeling exhausted, anxious and resentful. As sexuality researchers, we wondered, with all this extra work, do women have any energy left for sex?

“Lezibian/mulezi”: Adoption of “globalized” lesbian identity and secondary self-labels among same-sex attracted women in Harare - Muparamoto, Nelson (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2022)
Drawing from ethnographic research, incorporating informal conversations, semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion, the paper explores the subjective meanings and construction of the “lesbian” identity in a “hostile” environment among selected same-sex attracted women in Harare. While the globally circulating identity labels are loaded with historical baggage which can be limiting or confusing in non-western contexts, most of the study participants related to some of the labels that are prominent in the present-day, western-inspired global discourse on same-sex relations. Self-styling and the quest to exhibit masculine decorum was a central aspect in the narratives of most “butch” identifying women. For most butch identifying women being lesbian was closely interwoven with considerations about one’s gendered self. However not all participants were comfortable with the circulating identity labels as they found them restrictive and loaded. While subjective preferences of the participants demonstrate complexity in how “lesbianism” is locally constructed and experienced, the lesbian identity is certainly not obsolete in Harare among same-sex attracted women.

On a grey thread - Gidlow, Elsa (Mint Editions, 2021)
On a Grey Thread is the groundbreaking poetry collection of Elsa Gidlow – the first in North American history to openly express lesbian desire.Both personal and political, Gidlow’s poems express the poet’s complex feelings as a young woman whose political ideology and sexual identity ran counter to the traditional values of her time.Opening her collection with “The Grey Thread,” Gidlow expresses herself with ornamental imagery, decorating her drab existence with the colorful beads of her personal identity. Employing the double meaning of “gay,” offering a brief erotic “moan” on the precipice of enjambment, Gidlow stretches her stanza to its sinful conclusion, recalling Eve’s temptation in the Garden of Eden.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Elsa Gidlow’s On a Grey Thread is a classic work of lesbian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Sapphic crossings: Cross-dressing women in eighteenth-century British literature - Klein, Ula Lukszo (Peculiar bodies : stories and histories, 2021)
Tout au long du XVIIIe siècle en Grande-Bretagne, les lecteurices, les écrivain.e.s et les amateurices de théâtre étaient fasciné.e.s par les femmes qui s'habillaient avec des vêtements pour hommes - depuis les actrices sur scène qui mettaient en valeur leurs jambes galbées dans des culottes d'homme jusqu'aux histoires de vaillantes femmes soldat.e.s et de femmes pirates impitoyables. Couvrant les genres allant des pièces de théâtre, des romans et de la poésie aux brochures et aux affiches, la femme travestie en est venue à signaler plus que l'indépendance féminine ou les comportements non conventionnels ; elle est également venue signaler un investissement dans les intimités féminines de même sexe et les désirs saphiques. Sapphic Crossings révèle comment divers textes britanniques de l'époque associent le travestissement féminin à la possibilité passionnante de relations intimes et incarnées entre personnes de même sexe. Ula Lukszo Klein reconsidère le rôle des désirs lesbiens et leur structuration à travers des incarnations transgenres comme étant crucial non seulement pour l'histoire de la sexualité mais aussi pour la montée des concepts modernes de genre, de sexualité et de désir. Elle incite les lecteurices à repenser les racines du lesbianisme et des identités transgenres d’aujourd’hui et introduit de nouvelles façons de penser la sexualité incarnée dans le passé.

(De)pathologizing lesbian desire in late nineteenth-Century spain - Smith, Jennifer (Anales Galdosianos, 2021)
Discussions of "tribadas," "viragines," "marimachos," "hermafroditas," "mujeres hombrunas," and "lesbias" appear in works by prominent nineteenth-century sexologists. Vicente Suárez Casañ's El amor lesbio (1892), seemingly the lengthiest account on the topic of the time, insists on tying masculine lesbians, or marimachos, as he refers to them, to hermaphroditism. He also underscores the distinction between masculine and feminine lesbians, while revealing the persistent belief in spontaneous sex change and connections between lesbians and witches. While Eduardo López Bago's La Pálida (1884) and La monja (1886) reproduce long-standing beliefs that tie lesbianism to prostitution, hysteria, convents, and sorcery, the radical naturalist conspicuously shies away from the figure of the butch lesbian or "female hermaphrodite." In contrast, Emilia Pardo Bazán features a masculine lesbian associated with witchcraft as the eponymous protagonist of her short story "Afra" (1894). And in 1901 she publishes the column, "Sobre ascuas," about the first gay marriage in Spain between two women in A Coruña. Although most of these medical, literary, and journalistic discourses appear, in some way, to endorse heteronormativity and patriarchy by pathologizing female same-sex desire, they all simultaneously deconstruct arguments about the naturalness of universal heterosexuality. Discusiones acerca de "tribadas," "viragines," "marimachos," "hermafroditas," "mujeres hombrunas," y "lesbias" aparecen en las obras de destacados sexólogos decimonónicos. El amor lesbio (1892) de Vicente Suárez Casañ, que parece ser el escrito más largo acerca del tema en la época, insiste en conectar las lesbianas masculinas, o marimachos, como él las denomina, al hermafroditismo. También subraya la distinción entre las lesbianas masculinas y femeninas, al mismo tiempo que revela la creencia persistente en el cambio de sexo espontáneo y la conexión entre lesbianas y brujas. Aunque La Pálida (1884) y La monja (1886) de Eduardo López Bago reproducen creencias antiguas que vinculan el lesbianismo a la prostitución, la histeria, los conventos y la hechicería, el naturalista radical ignora de forma ostensible la figura de la lesbiana butch o de la "hermafrodita femenina." En cambio, Emilia Pardo Bazán presenta a una lesbiana masculina asociada con la brujería como la protagonista homónima de su cuento "Afra" (1894). Y en 1901 escribe la columna, "Sobre ascuas," sobre el primer matrimonio gay en España entre dos mujeres en A Coruña. Aunque la mayoría de estos discursos médicos, literarios y periodísticos parecen, de alguna manera, apoyar la heteronormatividad y el patriarcado al patologizar el deseo homoerótico femenino, simultáneamente desconstruyen argumentos acerca de la naturalidad de la heterosexualidad universal.

Dès la publication , le premier volume du journal d'Anne Lister, I Know My Own Heart , a suscité la célébration, le plaisir et un certain scepticisme. Comment une Anglaise de la classe supérieure pouvait-elle, dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle, satisfaire ses besoins émotionnels et sexuels alors que son orientation sexuelle était tournée vers d’autres femmes ? Comment une lesbienne aristocratique a-t-elle réussi à concilier épanouissement sexuel et acceptabilité sociale ?Helena Whitbread, l'éditrice de ces journaux, nous permet ici de jeter un regard intérieur sur la longue histoire d'amour entre Anne Lister et Marianna.

Writing shame: Contemporary literature, gender, and negative affect - Mitchell, Kaye (Edinburgh University Press, 2020)
Writing Shame examine l'intersection de la honte, du genre et de l'écriture dans la littérature contemporaine. À travers la lecture d’un éventail de textes récents – littéraires et populaires, fictionnels et autofictionnels, réalistes et expérimentaux – le livre retrace une culture occidentale contemporaine de la honte. La honte est présentée ici comme une émotion d'auto-évaluation, une expérience particulièrement sociale et un affect culturellement omniprésent, particulièrement pertinent pour comprendre les constructions contemporaines de la subjectivité de genre. , les expressions et les expériences du désir sexuel, les complexités de l'incarnation et les processus sociaux d'altérité. Le livre dévoile ainsi la triangulation complexe de la honte, du genre et de l’écriture, et intervient avec force dans les débats féministes et queer des trois dernières décennies. Partant du principe que la honte ne peut être surmontée ou abandonnée, et arguant que la féminité et la honte sont totalement et nécessairement imbriquées, Writing Shame examine l'écriture qui explore et habite cet état de honte, compte tenu des effets dissonants de telles explorations sur et au-delà de la page.

Patriarchy interrupted: Differential realizations and manifestations of power in butch/femme relationships - Silverman, Rachel E.; Comeforo, Kristin (Cultural Studies ↔ Critical Methodologies, 2020)
Cet essai auto-théorique explore la femme et la butch en tant qu'identités différentielles, exprimées à travers les performances de genre très spécifiques de l'identité lesbienne : la féminité et la masculinité. Nous revisitons une nuit passée ensemble comme moyen de cocréer la compréhension de l'habitus lesbien et de l'espace qu'occupent les lesbiennes lorsqu'elles se réunissent sexuellement. Nous nous interrogeons sur ce que cela signifie pour nos propres performances de genre et expressions de pouvoir, tant au sein de notre relation que dans le monde en général. En commençant par le terme fé(me)inité et en passant par l’appel à l’érudition féministe pour créer un nouveau langage, nous proposons la mas(k)ulinité comme une nouvelle façon d’encadrer la performance subversive de la butchness. Nous suggérons que les espaces créés par les couples femme/butch, qui manifestent la féminité et la masculinité, réorientent le pouvoir au sein des relations et ont le potentiel de perturber les formes patriarcales de contrôle genré.

I feel like I can get home from here: An archive of butch lesbian life and persistence - Garcia, Gabrielle Sara (Gabrielle Garcia, 2018)
I feel like I can get home from here, il y a une archive de la résilience, de la diversité et de la survie des lesbiennes butch qui continuent de chevaucher les marges d'une communauté LGBTQ plus large et d'un monde hétérosexuel, ainsi que les lignes d'hypervisibilité et d'effacement. À la fois livre imprimé et archive numérique, ce projet vise à compiler un contenu textuel et visuel significatif sur les lesbiennes butch dans un seul espace et à explorer les thèmes de l'identité, de l'enfance, de la communauté, de la mémoire, de l'histoire et des trajectoires. Combinant photographie numérique, réponses à des questionnaires, transcriptions d'entretiens, manipulation de photos et écrits personnels, le projet vise à résumer un instantané des compréhensions contemporaines de l'incarnation butch d'une manière documentaire et figurative. 60 participant.e.s ont partagé leurs histoires et leurs expériences sous la forme d'entretiens en personne et d'un questionnaire en ligne. Dans son cadre, le projet constitue sa propre archive émotionnelle autonome et donne plus de profondeur et de voix derrière une image butch propagée superficiellement par les médias et les stéréotypes banals. Le projet tire son influence et négocie les théories qui traitent de l'annihilation symbolique et des archives conceptuelles, de la sémiotique et de l'identification lesbiennes et de la photographie (lesbienne). À la base, ce projet est une célébration, une histoire vivante et une incarnation profonde de la communauté et de l’amour qui parle d’un passé, d’un présent et d’un avenir difficiles et des possibilités de la masculinité.

Circulating queerness: Before the gay and lesbian novel - Hurley, Natasha (University of Minnesota Press, 2018)
Une nouvelle histoire du roman queer montre son rôle dans la construction des vies gays et lesbiennes Contestant l’idée selon laquelle le roman gay et lesbien est apparu en réponse à l’émergence de l’homosexualité en tant que concept, Natasha Hurley postule une histoire beaucoup plus longue de ce genre romanesque. Elle révise notre compréhension de l’histoire de la sexualité, ainsi que des processus de production de nouveaux concepts et de l’évolution de nouvelles catégories de langage.

Inconsequence: Lesbian representation and the logic of sexual sequence - Jagose, Annamarie (Cornell University Press, 2018)
The field of lesbian studies is often framed in terms of the relation between lesbianism and invisibility. Annamarie Jagose here takes a radical new approach, suggesting that the focus on invisibility and visibility is perhaps not the most productive way of looking at lesbian representability. Jagose argues that the theoretical preoccupation with metaphors of visibility is part of the problem it attempts to remedy. In her account, the regulatory difference between heterosexuality and homosexuality relies less on codes of visual recognition than on a cultural adherence to the force of first order, second order sexual sequence. As Jagose points out, sequence does not simply specify what comes before and what comes after; it also implies precedence: what comes first and what comes second. Jagose reads canonical novels by Charles Dickens, Henry James, Virginia Woolf, and Daphne du Maurier, drawing upon their elaboration of sexual sequence. In these innovative readings, tropes such as first and second, origin and outcome, and heterosexuality and homosexuality are shown to reinforce heterosexual precedence. Inconsequence intervenes in current debates in lesbian historiography, taking as its pivotal moment the fin-de-siècle phenomenon of the sexological codification of sexual taxonomies and concluding with a reading of a post-Kinsey pulp sexological text. Throughout, Jagose reminds us that categories of sexual registration are always back-formations, secondary, and belated, not only for those who identify as lesbian but also for all sexual subjects.

Gay and lesbian literature disrupting the heteronormative space of the high school english classroom - Helmer, Kirsten (Sex Education: Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2016)
This paper offers insights into how the teaching of queer topics in English language arts classes can be reframed by bridging the goals, practices and conceptual tools of queer theory to literacy teaching. Drawing on an ethnographic classroom study, which explored a 13-week high school Gay and Lesbian Literature course, this paper discusses how teaching an English literature curriculum centred on the voices and stories of LGBTQI people constitutes a meaningful site for learning and teaching. In the process, I show how a queer-themed literature curriculum not only intervenes disruptively into the heteronormative space of school through its content but also through pedagogical practices that open up new lines of thinking for understanding diverse sexualities and genders. Through vignettes from the classroom, I illustrate how queer moments were enacted in this high school course as the class (a) deconstructed literary and media texts; (b) used moments of discomfort for learning; (c) produced counter-narratives through creative acts; and (d) engaged in experiential learning activities that troubled commonsense understandings of sexuality, sex and gender. The paper aims to provide educators and administrators with ideas on how a comprehensive queer-inclusive English literature curriculum can be implemented in high schools.

Navigating gender and sexuality in the classroom: Narrative insights from students and educators - McEntarfer, Heather Killelea (Routledge, 2016)
Gender identity and sexuality play crucial roles in the educational experiences of students, parents, and teachers. Teacher education must more directly address the ways that schools reflect and reproduce oppressive gender norms, working to combat homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity, and gendered expectations in schools. This volume examines teacher candidates’ experiences with gender and sexuality in the classroom, offering insight and strategies to better prepare teachers and teacher educators to support LGBTQ youth and families. This volume addresses the need for broader, more in-depth qualitative data describing teacher candidates’ responses to diversity in the classroom (including gender, sexuality, race, class and religion). By using pedagogical tools such as narrative writing and positioning theory, teacher candidates explore these issues to better understand their own students’ narratives in deeply embodied ways. This book calls for schools to be places where oppression, in all its complexity, is explored and challenged rather than replicated.

She's always a woman: Butch lesbian trans women in the lesbian community - Rossiter, Hannah (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2016)
Même si la visibilité et l’acceptation des femmes trans ont augmenté à l’échelle mondiale ces dernières années, ces progrès s’inscrivent principalement dans un récit traditionnel et hétéronormatif. Mais un nombre croissant de femmes trans s’identifient comme lesbiennes butch et remettent en question ce récit hétéronormatif. L’existence des femmes trans butch a suscité un débat sur leur place au sein des communautés queer et lesbiennes et sur la manière dont leurs performances de genre s’inscrivent dans la compréhension traditionnelle butch/femme des relations lesbiennes ou queer. Cet article cherche à explorer les intersections de l’identité de genre et de l’orientation sexuelle que vivent les femmes trans butch lorsqu’elles s’engagent dans les communautés lesbiennes et trans.

Celebrating queer lesbian desires with Dorothy Allison: From moral monstrosity to the beautiful materiality of the body - Mélanie Grué (2015)
Using social and queer theory on domination, sexuality and gender, this contribution explores how the queer American author Dorothy Allison celebrates the vilified transgressive lesbian body. As, in the 1970s, the mainstream american feminist movement crystallized around the definition of an acceptable sexuality in the name of femininity, female sexual practices were standardized according to strict identity frames, carnal desire was denied, and transgressive lesbians who play with gender roles were defined as abject. In response to this extreme taming of the body, Allison interrogates the notions of masculinity and femininity, domination and submission in her exploration of sexual pleasure and traumatized sexuality. She celebrates the aggressiveness and masculinity of queer lesbianism, promotes the fluidity of gender roles, and asserts the primacy of the flesh,sensuality, and materiality in sexuality.

Pedagogy and content in sexuality education courses in US colleges and universities - Oswalt, Sara B.; Wagner, Laurie M.; Eastman-Mueller, Heather P.; Nevers, Joleen M. (Sex Education : Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2015)
Most research on sexuality courses in US higher education was conducted in the 1980s and 1990s. Less is known about what is being taught in undergraduate sexuality courses today; this study sought to fill that gap. Reviewing content based on 161 courses (provided by 150 different instructors) from all regions of the USA, this study examined overall descriptions of course content and pedagogical strategies in relation to the academic position of the instructor, region of the country and course enrolment size. Results indicated similar content and pedagogical strategies employed with limited differences based on demographic characteristics. The most commonly taught subjects were sexual orientation (95.0%), communication (93.8%), gender identity (93.2%) and gender roles (93.2%). Most courses included reference to contraception (89.4%), HIV and AIDS (88.2%) and STIs (85.7%). Some notable differences included the fact that tenured or tenure-track instructors were more likely to lecture compared to non-tenure-track instructors, and 100% of courses in the West and Northeast addressed sexual orientation compared to 96% for the Midwest and 85% for the South. Most courses included discussion of pleasure (91.1%) and incorporated sexually explicit content (61.9%). The benefits and challenges of having guidelines for sexuality courses at the university/college level were explored.

Reconceptualizing the archetypal trickster in Audre Lorde’s Zami: A new spelling of my name - Saber, Yomna (Journal of Lesbian Studies, 2015)
Carl Jung categorizes the trickster as a psychological archetype and sets certain parameters for it. This article examines Audre Lorde’s trickster Afrekete in Zami: A New Spelling of My Name (1982) and poses the question of how typically archetypal a Black, female, lesbian trickster can be. Lorde occupies an idiosyncratic position in the canon in terms of race, gender, and sexual orientation. She bestows new qualities on her trickster coming from the peripheries she dwells in and challenges the Jungian model. Through Afrekete’s linguistic dexterity and sexual identity, Lorde transforms the trickster from being seemingly innocuous into a figure of resistance grounded in lesbian erotica

"A lot more to learn than where babies come from": Controversy, language and agenda setting in the framing of school-based sexuality education curricula in Australia - Shannon, Barrie; Smith, Stephen J. (Sex Education : Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2015)
Sexuality education in Australian schools continues to struggle in its ability and willingness to address many of the broader social issues associated with sexuality, such as the needs of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) students. Studies involving teachers have demonstrated that a reticence on their part to teach GLBTIQ-inclusive sexuality education is driven by a lack of training in handling ‘sensitive’ issues, a fear of backlash and confusion over their obligations under relevant departmental policies. This reticence may, in part at least, stem from a commonly held inference that the inclusion of queer sexualities is inherently ‘controversial’. There appears to be a tendency for curricula and government directives to ‘juggle’ principles of social justice for marginalised sexualities with ‘risk management’ policies, which seek to screen course content for potential ‘controversy’. Much of this controversy has its roots in the language and rhetoric used to describe and discuss issues dealt with in sexuality education curricula. The paper demonstrates, through the process of ‘languaging’, how the language and rhetoric of controversy and sexuality can be exposed so that they may be better addressed through policy and government directives.

Bisexual, pansexual, queer: Non-binary identities and the sexual borderlands - Callis, April Scarlette (Sexualities, 2014)
This article focuses on sexualities in the USA that exist within the border between heterosexuality and homosexuality. I first examine the usefulness of applying borderland theory to non-gay/non-straight sexualities such as queer and bisexual. I then give an ethnographic analysis of sexual self-identities on the borders, shedding light on how participants envisioned labels such as ‘pansexual,’ and ‘heteroflexible.’ Finally, I explore the ways that the sexual borderlands became tangible in Lexington, Kentucky at certain events and locations. Throughout, I highlight the ways that the sexual borderland touches on all sexualities, as individuals knowingly cross, inhabit, or bolster sexual identity borders.

Back to basics: How young mothers learn about sex and sexuality - Dudley, James; Crowder, Amanda; Montgomery, Tchernavia R. R. (Sex Education : Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2014)
Adolescent pregnancy continues to be a major concern for policy-makers, programme developers, helping professionals and society generally in the USA, especially in light of the US federal government's legislative emphasis on abstinence-only sex education until recently. Studies have found that abstinence-only programmes do not succeed in preventing young people from becoming sexually active or pregnant; most young people have sexual intercourse in their teenage years long before they even contemplate marriage. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how 32 teenage mothers learned about sex and their related views about pregnancy and birth control. Findings indicate that they have often received little accurate information about sex from their parents and schools. Findings also reveal their widely varying views about birth control and pregnancy. Overall, the findings support the need for comprehensive sexuality education that addresses the topics covered in this study in an age-appropriate manner. The findings also suggest ways that helping professionals in other settings besides schools can help young people address these issues.

Sex, desire and masturbation : An interpretative phenomenological analysis of sexual health education for young women - Hanson, Jodie (Manchester Metropolitan University, 2014)
British, Sex and Relationship Education has been condemned by Ofsted as ‘not yet good enough’ (2013:6). Previous literature would suggest this is through the absence of desire based knowledge. Other research would highlight the issue of masturbation as a construct to the improvement of the sexual health. However, as genital masturbation is often a taboo within feminine culture the current study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith, 1996, 1999) to assess the intrinsic values of six young women regarding their sexual health and desires. Participants ranged in sexual knowledge from undergone several years of sexual health education to limited sexual health education; forming the basis for the current national education system. Analysis of the data revealed three master themes: pleasure conflict, ‘That Girl’ complex and sexual discourse. A working model of sexual health needs was then proposed in order to address the hierarchy of erotic plasticity the participants showed. Ramifications of socio-political implications towards feminine desire and masturbation are detrimental to sexual health improvement.

Beyond the birds and the bees: A study of comprehensive sex education in Oregon high shools - Wicks, Katie J. (Oregon State University, 2014)
Oregon high schools are required to provide comprehensive sex education to students, but there is anecdotal evidence that this is not consistently being carried out across all schools. Despite the significant amount of literature that exists on the topic of sex education, there is a gap in regards to what is being done in Oregon on the application of the sex education policy in schools and on what students want to learn in high school sex education programs. This study is intended to fill that gap in order to enhance the knowledge pool pertaining to the sex education needs of high school students in Oregon. An anonymous online survey was conducted of first-year Oregon State University students between the ages of 18-20. Upon reviewing the results it appears that Oregon’s sex education policy is being carried out in schools, but perhaps not as completely as it should be. It also appears that there is a discrepancy between what students are being taught and what they feel is important to be taught. In doing this research it has become clear that in order to best meet the needs of youth, sex education programs in Oregon high schools need to be more comprehensive and inclusive.

Creating comprehensive, youth centered, culturally appropriate sex education: What do young gay, bisexual, and questioning men want? - Pingel, Emily Sweetnam; Thomas, Laura; Harmell, Chelsea; Bauermeister, José A. (Sexuality Research and Social Policy, 2013)
We examined young gay, bisexual and questioning men's (YGBQM) experiences with school-based sex education as they sought to learn about sex and sexual health, and their suggestions for improving same-sex education resources. Thematic analysis of 30 in-depth interviews with YGBQM (ages 18-24) underscored the discrepancies between the existing school-based sex education curricula and YGBQM's perceived sex education needs. Our results show that many youths' sexuality and same-sex sexual behaviors are excluded in sex education lessons; however, YGBQM noted that they sought out other resources (e.g., websites) to answer their questions. We discuss YGBQM's ideas for the creation of a sex and sexual health website that would be tailored for youth like themselves, including topics and features that an ideal website would contain. In addition, we present recommended changes to existing school-based sexual education curricula.

How they got it and how they wanted it: Marginalised young people's perspective on their experiences of sexual health education - Brown, Graham; Sorenson, Anne; Hildebrand, Janina (Sex Education, 2012)
Young people in Australia are at greatest risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections, and priority actions are necessary for this population group. This study of marginalised and at-risk young people in out-of-school environments was conducted in Western Australia with the aim of obtaining young people's perceptions about their experience of sexual health education and preferred means of gaining sexual health knowledge and skills. A participatory research methodology was implemented through a series of workshops with 88 young people recruited through community youth agencies. The results of the study support what is already known about sexual health promotion for young people and the importance of a holistic approach to promoting positive relationships and sexual health. However, the findings emphasise that this should include the need for demonstrated trust, confidence and safe environments, and the complementary role of community youth agencies and peer-based programmes which may play an important role in reaching young people who may disengage with, or not be reached by school-based sexual health education.

Women's Barracks: The original 1950 tale of life and love in the free french army - Torres, Tereska; Mayne, Judith (The Feminist Press at CUNY, 2012)
This novel—based on the author's real-life experiences—is credited as the first candidly lesbian novel, originally published in 1950, that “scandalized mid-century America” (The New York Times).As the Blitz rains down over London, taboos are broken, affairs start and stop, and hearts are won and lost. This account of life among female Free French soldiers in a London barracks during World War II sold four million copies in the United States alone and many more worldwide. Women’s Barracks was banned for obscenity in several states and denounced by the House Select Committee on Current Pornographic Materials in 1952 as an example of how the paperback industry was “promoting moral degeneracy.” In spite of such efforts—or perhaps, in part, because of them—the novel became a record-breaking bestseller and inspired a whole new genre: lesbian pulp.Femmes Fatales restores to print the best of women’s writing in the classic pulp genres of the mid-20th century. From mystery to hard-boiled noir to taboo lesbian romance, these rediscovered queens of pulp offer subversive perspectives on a turbulent era.

Eileen Gray and the design of Sapphic modernity: Staying in - Rault, Jasmine (Ashgate, 2011)
The first book-length feminist analysis of Eileen Gray's work, Eileen Gray and the Design of Sapphic Modernity: Staying In argues that Gray's unusual architecture and design - as well as its history of abuse and neglect - emerged from her involvement with cultures of sapphic modernism. Bringing together a range of theoretical and historical sources, from architecture and design, communication and media, to gender and sexuality studies, Jasmine Rault shows that Gray shared with many of her female contemporaries a commitment to designing spaces for sexually dissident modernity. This volume examines Gray's early lacquer work and Romaine Brooks' earliest nude paintings; Gray's first built house, E.1027, in relation to Radclyffe Hall and her novel The Well of Loneliness; and Gray's private house, Tempe Ã Pailla, with Djuna Barnes' Nightwood. While both female sexual dissidence and modernist architecture were reduced to rigid identities through mass media, women such as Gray, Brooks, Hall and Barnes resisted the clarity of such identities with opaque, non-communicative aesthetics. Rault demonstrates that by defying the modern imperative to publicity, clarity and identity, Gray helped design a sapphic modernity that cultivated the dynamism of uncertain bodies and unfixed pleasures, which depended on staying in rather than coming out.

Caution, the use of humor may lead to confusion :Evaluation of a video podcast of the midwest teen sex show - Campo, Shelly; Askelson, Natoshia M.; Spies, Erica L.; Losch, Mary (American Journal of Sexuality Education, 2010)
Web sites about sexual health lack the interactivity, humor, and “viral” nature required to attract young adults. The Midwest Teen Sex Show (www.midwestteensexshow.com) is an interactive, humor-based Web site that provides sexual health information to young adults. One episode from the Web site was shown to six focus groups of young women, ages 18-30. Women found it funny, but some were offended or confused. Women were unable to differentiate between facts and humor; however, women could identify the key messages. Most women reported they would think about it later, visit the Web site, and share it with friends. Web-based interventions should use humor with caution.

Young men, masculinities and sex education - Limmer, Mark (Sex Education : Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2010)
This paper draws on focus group and interview data from 45 young men from the north of England to explore the barriers to effective sex and relationships education (SRE). Recent policy debates in relation to establishing statutory SRE in schools provide an opportunity to revisit how it is currently delivered to, and received by, young men. The paper considers the central role played by masculinities and how this role is mediated by social exclusion and poor engagement; it is suggested that addressing masculinities directly should be a priority for future SRE. In conclusion, some tentative approaches to addressing the issues are suggested.

Foreign bodies: Be/longing and gender in the short fiction of Dorothy Allison - Meisel, Jacqueline (The International Journal of the Humanities: Annual Review, 2010)
Which comes first, the body or the word? Food or sex; affect or ideas? Taking Judith Butler’s contention that the body is discursively constructed, this paper will examine the relationship between language and corporeality in Dorothy Allison’s story “A Lesbian Appetite.” Allison, a writer who interrogatesracial and sexual identitiesin the American South, offers a particularly significant treatment of this dynamic by placing the physical body and discursively produced lesbian subjects at the center of her story. As critic Christina Jarvis puts it, this story “provides a useful intervention within recent queer theory, offering sexual identities that are performative as well as attentive to the specificities of race, class, sex, ethnicity, and the body” (2000) and regional cuisine. This paper will examine the liminal subjectivities of the discursive and corporeal body, racial and gendered. While there is in the postmodern approach a powerful sense of indeterminacy in literature and life, there is another force requiring that we acknowledge the corporeality of the body, the “real,” materiality. It argues for the transformative integration of theory and practice, materialist feminism informed by a postmodern consciousness as applied to Allison’s work. Here, language constructs the possibility of change

Hopeless love: Boiardo, Ariosto, and narratives of queer female desire - DeCoste, Mary-Michelle (Toronto Italian studies, 2009)
Le troisième livre du poème épique du poète italien Matteo Maria Boiardo, Orlando innamorato (Orlando amoureux), a été publié à titre posthume en 1494 ; en 1532, le poète Ludovico Ariosto publie sa version finale d'une suite, Orlando furioso (La Frénésie d'Orlando). À la fin de son poème, Boiardo raconte l'histoire du désir insatisfait de la princesse Fiordispina pour la jeune guerrière Bradamante, une histoire que l'Arioste raconte dans le corps de son œuvre ultérieure. Dans Hopeless Love , Mary-Michelle DeCoste examine les deux versions de l'épisode Fiordispina et Bradamante en utilisant la théorie féministe et queer. DeCoste relie ensuite ces traitements du désir féminin queer à leurs contextes culturels plus larges en explorant leurs antécédents dans des genres tels que l’épopée romantique médiévale et l’hagiographie et en examinant des tropes similaires dans d’autres épopées romantiques du XVIe siècle. Œuvre importante sur un sujet jusqu'alors négligé, Hopeless Love révèle la diffusion du désir féminin queer dans la littérature italienne et promeut une meilleure compréhension de la sexualité dans l'Europe médiévale et de la Renaissance.

The coming-out process of young lesbian and bisexual women: Are there butch/femme differences in sexual identity development? - Rosario, Margaret; Schrimshaw, Eric W; Hunter, Joyce; Levy-Warren, Anna (Archives of sexual behavior, 2009)
Research on lesbian and bisexual women has documented various biological and behavioral differences between butch and femme women. However, little research has examined whether differences exist in sexual identity development (i.e., the coming-out process). The present study examined longitudinally potential butch/femme differences in sexual identity formation and integration among an ethnically diverse sample of 76 self-identified lesbian and bisexual young women (ages 14–21 years). A composite measure of butch/femme identity classified 43% as butch and 51% as femme. Initial comparisons found butch/femme differences in sexual identity (i.e., nearly all butches identified as lesbian, but about half of femmes identified as bisexual), suggesting the need to examine this confound. Comparisons of lesbian butches, lesbian femmes, and bisexual femmes found that lesbian butches and femmes generally did not differ on sexual identity formation, but they differed from bisexual femmes. Lesbian butches and femmes had sexual behaviors and a cognitive sexual orientation that were more centered on women than those of bisexual femmes. With respect to sexual identity integration, lesbian butches were involved in more gay social activities, were more comfortable with others knowing about their homosexuality, and were more certain, comfortable, and accepting of their sexual identity than were bisexual femmes. Fewer differences were found between lesbian femmes and bisexual femmes or between lesbian butches and lesbian femmes. The findings suggest that sexual identity formation does not differ between butch or femme women, but differences are linked to sexual identity as lesbian or bisexual. Further, the findings that lesbian femmes sometimes differed from lesbian butches and at other times from bisexual femmes on sexual identity integration suggest that neither sexual identity nor butch/femme alone may explain sexual identity integration. Research examining the intersection between sexual identity and butch/ femme is needed.

Pushing the limits disabled dykes produce culture - Tremain, Shelley (Women's Press, 2009)
Cet impressionnant recueil de prose, de poésie, de chansons et d'art visuel rédigé par des lesbiennes handicapées est la première de deux anthologies liées (la seconde est un recueil d'essais). Dans son introduction percutante (« Nous sommes ici. Nous sommes handicapés et queer. Habituez-vous-y »), la rédactrice en chef Shelley Tremain appelle à la reconnaissance et à la compréhension du monde selon les lesbiennes handicapées. La collection elle-même est colérique, compatissante, drôle et surtout émouvante. Sherree Clark présente des extraits de son recueil de poésie et d'art Living with Arthritis. Margot K. Lane célèbre la sexualité dans un merveilleux poème intitulé « Full day ». Le récit posthume de Kathleen Martindale sur le cancer du sein est un appel à l’action contre le personnel médical insensible, tout comme la chronique de Kathleen Rockhill sur sa guérison d’un accident de voiture dévastateur. Combinant colère et célébration, Pushing the Limits est une révélation.

Transformative conversations about sexualities pedagogy and the experience of sexual knowing - Trimble, Lisa (Sex Education : Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2009)
One of the hallmarks of sex education traditionally has been its Cartesian endorsement of mind/body dualism; we have preferred to equate ‘self’ as synonymous with ‘mind’, and have invested heavily in believing in the valence of rationality‐based sexualities education. We generally do not consider the way ‘self’ negotiates, interprets and relates to sexual knowledge in all of our complexity, including our messy, embodied and emotional lives. In this paper I address what I think are several much‐needed conversations for a holistic pedagogy of sexualities to incorporate, including the falseness of the mind/body split, reconsidering what counts as sexual knowledge, the role of the performative in communicating our sexual knowing, and the importance of considering affect in learning about sexualities. The second part of the paper examines pedagogical considerations currently absent in dialogues of sexualities education, such as incorporating transformational learning strategies in teaching sexualities, and what it means to educate toward being a sexual citizen. Finally, I will outline how discussions of epistephenomenology (our relationship to and how we experience knowledge) can contribute to moving toward a vision of a critical, cultural sexualities education.

The emotions least relevant to politics? Queering autonomous activism - Wilkinson, Eleanor (Emotion, Space and Society, 2009)
Studies of emotion and activism have often attempted to uncover ‘the emotions most relevant to politics’ (Goodwin et al., 2001). This suggests that only certain feelings are productive for activism, while other emotions have less relevance for activist theory and practice. In this paper I ask if the notion of politically ‘relevant’ emotions helps perpetuate a distinction between what is considered political and what is not. This paper builds upon a case study in which I interviewed self-identified queer-activists about their experiences of autonomous activism. These interviews reveal how the everyday emotions surrounding the ‘personal’ politics of sexuality/intimacy are often seen as either less important, a distraction from, or entirely irrelevant to ‘real’ political issues. Ultimately, I want to challenge attempts to neatly separate our intimate lives from the public sphere of activism. I argue that it can never just be a matter of politics and emotion, but also the politics of emotion (Ahmed, 2004). Therefore we should not just assume that emotions matter for resistance - without first realizing the importance of resisting these hierarchies of emotion.

Exploration of romantic relationships in adolescent females - Wisnieski, Deborah (The University of Oklahoma, 2009)
Adolescence is a time to explore and develop romantic relationships. Glamorized sexual messages and images bombard youth as they struggle to develop their sexual identity. The darker side of romance that includes teen pregnancy, STDs, and emotional pain is rarely portrayed. Because adolescent females shoulder the burden of unwanted sexual outcomes, an exploration of their experiences, both positive and negative, is the focus of this study. Current literature contains demographic information about who is at risk for unwanted pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), but little is known from the adolescent females’ perspective, about their sexual experiences and even less about normal romantic ideation which drives sexual behavior. This qualitative study utilized ethnographic interviews to explore the experiences of 28 females ages 19-29 from four cultural backgrounds including Euro-American, African-American, American Indian, and Latina. The influence of families, peers, school, and sex education programs was explored for positive and negative experiences. Advice about romantic development to younger adolescent females was sought to gain insight into their development and how to better assist adolescent females in developing healthy romantic relationships. A multi-staged data analysis of the interviews was used to find similarities and differences among the subjects and cross culturally. Discussion of romantic behavior occurred in less than half of the nuclear families. Extended family such as aunts, uncles, and grandparents were named as significant role models by most participants and were frequently described as sources for support and occasionally available for discussion of romantic relationships. Peers were perceived to be sexually active and most behaved in a similar manner. Euro- and African-Americans placed more importance on peer groups. Reproduction was most frequently learned in the school system, rather than from family and peers. The programs were reported as woefully lacking in comprehensiveness. This study calls for policymakers to fund sex education programs for adolescents with potential participation from parents, extended family, and peers. The curriculum should address age-appropriate strategies for discussing romantic and sexual behavior. Additionally, guidelines for monitoring activities and use of new technologies that pose higher risks in early adolescence are most important. Health educators and healthcare providers can utilize these strategies when working with adolescents, families, and peers to improve their romantic relationships and decrease teen pregnancies and STDs.

Tongues on fire Caribbean lesbian lives and stories - Elwin, Rosamund (Women's Press, 2008)
In Tongues on Fire, Caribbean lesbians speak zami desire honestly and eloquently, loudly and clearly. Narrating their life stories, they claim what has never been acknowledged―lesbian history and continuity in the Caribbean. They collectively honour that history and continuity in fiction sweet with intimacy, sensuality, and memory. Like the lives and stories of Caribbean lesbians, Tongues on Fire is unique. Rosamund Elwin has put together a fine collection that includes well-known writers such as Michelle Cliff, Shani Mootoo, and Makeda Silvera.

Breaking the taboo: An exploration of female university students' experiences of attending a feminist‐informed sex education course - Askew, Julie (Sex Education : Sexuality, Society and Learning, 2007)
This article presents the results of a qualitative interview study of nine young women who attended a feminist-informed human sexuality course as undergraduate students at a US university located in the "Bible belt". The course focused on messages of desire and empowerment, rather than romance or fear, and was designed to encourage students to think critically about current sexual discourses. Results indicate that participants' information on sexual issues prior to taking the course was limited and largely negative. Experiences of the course are described in themes including owning sexual desire, improved body image, reduced guilt and fear, and increased confidence as a woman. It is concluded that sex education may be used to help empower female students and enrich their quality of life; current educational practices should therefore be examined for ways in which they are oppressive to development.

Patience & Sarah - Miller, Isabel (Arsenal Pulp, Paperback, 2005)
Winner of the 1969 American Library Assoc. 's first Gay Book Award One of the "Best 100 Best Gay and Lesbian Novels of All Time" (Publishing Triangle) Set in the nineteenth century, Isabel Miller's classic lesbian novel traces the relationship between Patience White, an educated painter, and Sarah Dowling, a farmer, whose romantic bond does not sit well with the puritanical New England farming community in which they live. Ultimately, they are forced to make life-changing decisions that depend on their courage and their commitment to one another. First self-published in 1969 in an edition of 1,000 copies, it garnered increasing attention to the point of receiving the American Library Association's first Gay Book Award. Patience & Sarah is a historical romance that was a touchstone for the burgeoning gay and women's activism of the late 1960s and early 1970s; it celebrates the joys of an uninhibited love between two strong women with a confident defiance that remains relevant today. This edition features an appendix of supplementary materials, as well as an introduction by Emma Donoghue, whose numerous books include Stirfry, Hood, and Life Mask, which was shortlisted for a 2005 Lambda Literary Award and the Ferro-Grumley Award. Her 2010 novel Room was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won the Rogers Writers Trust Fiction Prize. Little Sister's Classic edition now in its second printing!

The Black studies reader - Bobo, Jacqueline; Hudley, Cynthia; Michel, Claudine (Routledge, 2004)
Black studies emerged from the tumultuous social and civil rights movements of the 1960s and empowered African Americans to look at themselves in new ways and pass on a dignified version of Black history. However, it also enriched traditional disciplines in profound and significant ways. Proponents of Black and ethnic studies confronted the false notion that scholarly investigations were objective and unbiased explorations of the range of human knowledge, history, creativity, artistry, and scientific discovery. As they protested against hegemonic notions like universal psychology and re-evaluated canonical texts in literature, a new model of academic inquiry evolved: one committed to serving a range of populations, that critiqued traditional politics, culture, and social affairs, and worked with activist energy for the transformation of the existing social order. With an all-star cast of contributors, The Black Studies Reader takes on the history and future of this multi-faceted academic field. Topics include Black feminism, cultural politics, Black activism, lesbian and gay issues, African American literature and film, education, and religion. This authoritative collection takes a critical look at the current state of Black studies and speculates on where it may go from here.

Masculinities without men? female masculinity in twentieth-century fictions - Noble, Jean Bobby (Sexuality studies series, 1706-9947, 2004)
Les idées conventionnelles sur le genre et la sexualité dictent que les personnes nées avec un corps masculin possèdent naturellement à la fois une identité masculine et un droit à l'autorité. Des recherches récentes dans le domaine des études de genre exposent cependant les technologies politiques complexes qui construisent le genre comme une essence biologique supposée immuable avec des liens évidents avec la physicalité, l’identité et le pouvoir. Dans des masculinités sans hommes ? Jean Bobby Noble explore comment la construction du genre a été mise en crise au cours du XXe siècle, entraînant une rupture permanente du système sexe/genre, et comment la masculinité est devenue une catégorie instable, modifiée au fil du temps, de la région, de la classe sociale et de l'origine ethnique.

The literature of lesbianism: A historical anthology from Ariosto to Stonewall - Castle, Terry (Columbia University Press, 2003)
Depuis la Renaissance, d’innombrables écrivains ont été aimantés par la notion d’amour entre femmes. Des poèmes d'amour de la Renaissance aux romans, pièces de théâtre et nouvelles du XXe siècle, La Littérature du Lesbianisme rassemble des centaines d'œuvres littéraires sur le thème de l'homosexualité féminine. Il ne s’agit pas d’une anthologie d’« écrivains lesbiennes ». Il ne s’agit pas non plus simplement d’un recueil unilatéral d’images « positives » ou « négatives » de l’expérience lesbienne. Terry Castle explore l'émergence et la transformation de « l'idée du lesbiennesme » : ses origines conceptuelles et la façon dont elle a été transmise, transformée et embellie collectivement au cours des cinq derniers siècles. Les auteurs masculins et féminins sont ici représentés et affichent une diversité d'attitudes étonnante et souvent imprévisible. Certains critiquent l’amour féminin entre personnes de même sexe ; certains en font l’éloge. Certains sont salaces ou satiriques ; d’autres sympathiques et confessionnels. Pourtant, ce qui ressort partout, c’est à quel point l’amour saphique a toujours été visible – en tant que thème littéraire – dans la littérature occidentale. Comme le démontre Castle, ce n’est pas un sujet tabou ou interdit que nous supposons parfois, mais il a en fait été une préoccupation centrale pour nombre de nos plus grands écrivains, passés et présents. Commençant par un extrait du poème épique comique de l'Arioste, Orlando Furioso,l'anthologie progresse chronologiquement à travers les cinq siècles suivants, présentant des sélections de Shakespeare, John Donne, Katherine Philips, Aphra Behn, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Alexander Pope, le marquis de Sade, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charlotte Brontë, Emily Dickinson, Guy de Maupassant, Henry James, Willa Cather, Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, Nella Larsen, Colette et Graham Greene, entre autres. Il comprend également des œuvres anonymes, dont plusieurs publiées ici pour la première fois, ainsi que de nombreuses traductions d'écrivains de l'Antiquité, tels que Sappho, Ovide, Martial et Juvénal, dont la redécouverte au début de la Renaissance a contribué à façonner les représentations littéraires occidentales ultérieures de homosexualité féminine.

Lesbian empire: Radical crosswriting in the Twenties - Wachman, Gay (Rutgers University Press, 2001)
Gay Wachman provides a critical new reading of sexually radical fiction by British women in the years during and after the First World War. She contrasts works by Sylvia Townsend Warner, Virginia Woolf, Rose Allatini, and Evadne Price with more politically and narratively conservative novels by Radclyffe Hall and Clemence Dane. These writers, she states, formed part of an alternative modernist tradition that functioned both within and against the repressive ideology of the British Empire, using fantasy as a means of reshaping and critiquing a world fragmented by war. Wachman places at the center of this tradition Sylvia Townsend Warner's achievement in undermining the inhibitions that faced women writing about forbidden love. She discusses Warner's use of crosswriting to transpose the otherwise unrepresentable lives of invisible lesbians into narratives about gay men, destabilizing the borders of race, class, and gender and challenging the codes of expression on which imperialist patriarchy and capitalism depended.

Strange sisters the art of lesbian pulp fiction, 1949-1969 - Zimet, Jaye (Viking Studio, 1999)
A vivid, sexy, and titillating journey into the steamy underworld of the dime novel. In the scandalous world of pulp fiction in the 1950s and into the 60s, detectives, gangsters, and mad doctors were joined on the racks by bad girls, dissolute youths, drug-crazed beatniks, and other assorted miscreants and misfits. Where romance met with soft porn there was also a surprisingly large population of butch brunettes pursuing and seducing blond femmes. This was an alternate universe of erotic pulp fiction where gals and dolls were exploring the illicit pleasures of lesbian love--much to the delight of a largely male, heterosexual readership. Before the sexual revolution of the 1960s, these books offered a thrilling peek into the deviant underworld of wild passion and scandalous sex. Strange Sisters is a collection of the cover art of these wildly wicked novels. The women who writhe across the covers of books such as Strange Lust ("She Wanted a Woman--Then She Met Another Woman Obsessed by the Same Burning Hunger") and Women's Barracks ("The Frank Autobiography of a French Girl Soldier") sizzle with sexual energy and freedom--in a high-camp defiance of the prudish, conservative 1950s. Bold, kitschy-colorful, and fraught with sexual tension, the covers of Strange Sisters are a siren call to the retro-groovin' man, or woman, in your life.

Butch/femme: inside lesbian gender - Munt, Sally (Cassell, 1998)
Malgré leur importance évidente dans les communautés lesbiennes, les désignations de butch et de femme ont rarement été théorisées ou écrites dans une perspective critique. Pour de nombreuses lesbiennes, butch et femme sont des identités vécues expressives, mais les tendances intellectuelles dominantes nous encouragent à penser qu’elles sont en quelque sorte provisoires, vides et artificielles. Ce livre est une tentative de penser de manière créative la femme/butch d'une manière qui honore l'intimité de ces identités, dans l'espoir d'exprimer la proximité que nous entretenons avec ces catégories évocatrices, en respectant le pouvoir qu'elles détiennent dans les cultures lesbiennes, mais en évitant également la romantisation clichée. souvent endémique à leur représentation. Loin d'être sentimentalement irréfléchies, les pièces de cette collection entendent également offrir le miroir de l'éloignement, afin que nous puissions penser ces catégories de manière nouvelle, en combinant le regard critique et l'affect. Tous les essais de cette collection communiquent la complexité de butch/femme sans sacrifier l'intégrité émotionnelle avec laquelle ces identités sont vécues. -- De nombreux chapitres prennent la forme d'analyses académiques traditionnelles, mais ils sont aussi des contributions qui choisissent la forme imaginative, écrites par des artistes performeureuses ou des poètes

Countering the myths: Lesbians write about the men in their lives - Elwin, Rosamund (Women's Press, 1996)
When false ideas prescribe our existence, our lives are limited, our communities are diminished, and we are, sadly, set against one another. In Countering the Myths, lesbians write about fathers, brothers, lovers, friends, co-workers, strangers. Their words are cautious, tender, urgent, angry. They dispute entrenched myths and provoke, instead, difficult questions. Their stories and poems provide an opportunity to unite in an exciting and liberating lesbian sexuality and life.

Diana: A strange autobiography - Frederics, Diana (NYU Press, 1995)
C'est l'histoire inhabituelle et fascinante de Diana, une femme d'une beauté alléchante qui cherchait l'amour dans les étranges sentiers détournés de Lesbos. Intrépide et franche, elle ose révéler ce monde caché où les caresses parfumées et les tendresses à demi chuchotées constituent les fruits défendus dans un jardin d'Eden où les hommes ne sont jamais acceptés. C'est ainsi que Diana: A Strange Autobiography a été décrite lors de sa publication en livre de poche en 1952. L'édition originale à couverture rigide de 1939 comportait une note de l'éditeur : Il s'agit de l'autobiographie d'une femme qui essayait d'être normale. Dans le livre, Diana est présentée comme la fille ordinaire d’une famille ploutocratique ordinaire. À l'adolescence, elle se retrouve attirée avec une intensité mystérieuse par une petite amie. Le récit suit les progrès de Diana à l'université ; un mariage à l'essai qui prouve qu'elle est incapable d'hétérosexualité ; l'éducation intellectuelle et sexuelle en Europe ; et une série de relations lesbiennes culminant dans une lutte triangulaire tourmentée finale avec deux autres femmes pour le salut individuel que l'on trouve dans un couple heureux. Dans son introduction, Julie Abraham soutient que Diana n'est pas vraiment une autobiographie, mais une synthèse délibérée de différents archétypes de ce genre confessionnel, faisant écho, comme il le fait, à plus d'une demi-douzaine de romans.

Romance revisited - Pearce, Lynne; Stacey, Jackie (New York University Press, 1995)
Après des décennies de féminisme et de déconstruction, la romance reste fermement ancrée comme une préoccupation centrale dans la vie de la plupart des femmes. Les taux de divorce montent en flèche, la famille traditionnelle est remise en question de toutes parts et pourtant la romance semble indestructible. En termes de représentation culturelle, la popularité de la romance semble également incontestée. La fiction populaire, le cinéma hollywoodien, les feuilletons télévisés et les médias en général affichent tous un appétit apparemment sans limite pour les sujets romantiques. Les pièges de la romance classique – mariages blancs, chansons d’amour, Saint-Valentin – sont plus que jamais commercialement viables. Dans cette anthologie d'essais originaux, la romance est revisitée sous un large éventail de perspectives, non seulement dans la fiction et le cinéma, mais dans toute une gamme de phénomènes culturels. Les essais couvrent des sujets tels que la Saint-Valentin, les relations interraciales, les visions érotiques médiévales et la fiction romantique moderne, la relation entre la poétesse lesbienne HD et Bryher, la blancheur omniprésente du désir romantique, l'érotisme lesbien à l'ère du SIDA et la romance publique de Charles et Diane.

Bisexuality and the challenge to lesbian politics: Sex, loyalty, and revolution. - Rust, Paula C. (The Cutting Edge: Lesbian Life and Literature Series, 1995)
Le sujet de la bisexualité continue de diviser la communauté lesbienne et gay. Lors des marches des fiertés, dans des films comme Go Fish, lors de conférences universitaires, le rôle et le statut des bisexuels sont âprement contestés. Au sein des communautés lesbiennes, constituées pour soutenir les lesbiennes dans une société patriarcale et hétérosexiste, les femmes bisexuelles sont souvent perçues comme une menace ou comme une faiblesse politique. Les femmes bisexuelles se sentent considérées avec suspicion et méfiance, voire ouvertement méprisées. S'appuyant sur ses recherches auprès de plus de 400 femmes bisexuelles et lesbiennes, sur le traitement de la bisexualité dans la presse lesbienne et gay et sur la croissance récente d'un mouvement bisexuel résolument politique, Paula Rust aborde une série de questions relatives à la politique et relations sociales entre lesbiennes et femmes bisexuelles. En remontant les racines de la controverse sur la bisexualité parmi les lesbiennes aux premiers débats féministes lesbiens des années 1970, Rust soutient que ces débats ont créé les circonstances dans lesquelles la bisexualité est devenue un défi inévitable à la politique lesbienne. Elle le retrace également, prédisant l’avenir de la politique sexuelle.

A History of Our Own - Eaklor, Vicki L. (The Lesbian Review of Books, 1994)
Lesbians played a role in all phases of Grove development, albeit that of a minority in number and, usually, in terms of power and recognition. Newton devotes two chapters (of eleven) exclusively to lesbians, and this seems adequately proportional to the lesbian presence in the decades she covers. Importantly, the differences for women between the two eras -- 1930s to 1960 and 1960 to 1980 -- appear to be determined by class and ethnicity rather than by gender. In the earlier period, says Newton, the gay "girls" or "ladies" (Grovers' terms) "were an elite, privileged group who faced relatively little cultural exclusion or discrimination from their male peers" (204); and, she reminds us, in both eras "whatever problems 'girls' had with 'boys,' physical safety was not one of them" (204). Although they never completely shared in the camp sensibility, and not at all in the public sex of the "Meat Rack," then, Grove lesbians were on an even footing (except in numbers) as long as they were white, Protestant, moneyed, artistic/theatrical, and devoted to the "fun" ethos of the settlement (indeed, "party" meant costumes and drinking, never politics). At the opposite end of New York State from Buffalo is Cherry Grove, a gay community as different from that treated in Boots of Leather as the geography symbolizes. As Esther Newton describes it in Cherry Grove, Fire Island, it could be a typical "all-American" postwar town -- dominated by the sensibilities of elite WASP males benefiting from the prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s, and hostile at times to those perceived as outsiders (by race, gender, ethnicity) or interlopers (day-trippers, pretentious Pines neighbors). The crucial exception, of course, is that the elitist WASP men (and some women) who built the town were gay. For these reasons, my reactions divided according to my dual identity. As a historian, I found this book superb in every way: it is an engaging narrative of six decades of the area's development textured with insightful commentary on the larger context of American life and questions regarding how and why Cherry Grove originated and endured. However, the lesbian reader in me, although agreeing that the presentation is wonderful (it is actually more fluid and readable than Boots of Leather), reacted to the sexism, racism, anti-Semitism, and classism that have characterized this community at various stages of its existence, and especially to the community's dismissal of women. As Newton herself summarizes in a passage concerning the "invasion" of the neighboring Pines community, "Whatever the Queen's function -- selling tickets to a play or blessing the bathers -- she also is the Grove, its key symbol and core representation" (269; italics in the original); and she adds in the accompanying endnote, "The normal processes of Grove action and narration tend to marginalize or even erase women" (345, n.7)

Sexual practice/textual theory: Lesbian cultural criticism - Wolfe, Susan J.; Penelope, Julia (B. Blackwell, 1993)
Nous vivons à l'ère postmoderniste, poststructuraliste (et, diraient certain.e.s, postféministe), à ​​une époque où le terme lesbienne pose problème, même lorsqu'il est utilisé de manière non péjorative par une lesbienne autoproclamée. Nous ne pouvons plus parler en tant qu'« individus », semble-t-il ; le faire est d’une naïveté et/ou d’une simplicité impardonnable. Nous ne pouvons parler qu'en tant que « sujets » romancés, nos identités individuelles n'existant que comme la création de textes (de quelqu'un) ou comme le résultat d'une signification. En cent ans, les sexologues allemand.e.s ont « apparu » les lesbiennes pour nous pathologiser et les poststructuralistes français.e.s nous ont « fait disparaître » pour déconstruire les catégories de sexe et de genre et « interroger » « le » sujet. Certains universitaires suggèrent que le féminisme et le postmodernisme ont de nombreux points communs. Les théoricien.nes du postmodernisme des deux côtés de l’Atlantique affirment de la même manière que leur mouvement partage un agenda politique avec le féminisme, dans la mesure où déstabiliser les relations narratives entre dominant.e et subordonné.e, contenant et contenu, c’est aussi déstabiliser les relations sociales et culturelles de domination et de confinement en dans lequel le masculin conventionnel subsume et enveloppe le féminin conventionnel. Dans le jargon actuel, le postmodemisme et le féminisme ont « problématisé les relations de genre », remettant en question le « caractère naturel » des relations de genre et considérant la relation entre les sexes comme le résultat de forces sociales, de langage et/ou de pouvoir (Giroux, 28). ). Ni « l'homme » ni la « femme » ne sont un objet ontologiquement stable, une catégorie invariable ; les deux sont construits dans l’histoire (Fuss, 3). Nous ne contesterons pas l’idée que le terme Lesbienne, pendant la brève période où il a été utilisé, a souvent été un terme d’opprobre et non d’approbation – qu’il a été utilisé linguistiquement pour signifier la déviance et même la monstruosité. Nous ne souhaitons pas non plus tomber dans le genre d’essentialisme qui supposerait que toutes les lesbiennes sont « simplement » des lesbiennes. Nous sommes membres de différentes races, classes, groupes ethniques ; collectivement, les lesbiennes souffrent de nombreuses formes d’oppression. En revanche, la philosophie postmoderne, du moins dans les formes qu'elle a prises au sein des instances du pouvoir (pédagogie académique, théorie esthétique et critique) nous semble menacer d'effacer le réel (ou, comme diraient les postmodernistes, « » matériel ») Lesbiennes. Si l’identité est construite par des textes, peut-être n’existe-t-il pas de personne (« objet ») comme lesbienne, aucune caractéristique (non construite) que partagent les lesbiennes. Si les textes et l'identité individuelle peuvent être déconstruits, peut-être que n'importe qui, même non-lesbienne, pourra « lire comme une lesbienne », comme certains l'ont suggéré. Mais s’il n’y a pas d’identité lesbienne en tant que telle, alors l’affirmation selon laquelle on « lit en tant que lesbienne » est un non-sens. Le discours postmoderniste cherche à déplacer les notions humanistes libérales du soi, du « sujet bourgeois » (H. Foster, 77, cité dans Waugh, 8). Mais comme le note Waugh (8-9), le moi unifié postulé par l’humanisme libéral n’était/n’est pas un moi féminin, et encore moins un moi lesbien. La subjectivité, historiquement construite et exprimée à travers l'équation phénoménologique soi/autre, repose nécessairement sur l'« altérité » féminine de l'« individuité » masculine. Le centre subjectif des discours socialement dominants (du « je » philosophique et rationnel de Descartes au phallique/symbolique psychanalytique de Lacan) en termes de pouvoir, d'action et d'autonomie a été un sujet « universel » qui a établi son identité à travers la marginalisation ou l'exclusion invisible de ce qu'elle a également défini comme la « féminité » (qu'il s'agisse du non-rationnel, du corps, des émotions ou du pré-symbolique). Le « féminin » devient ainsi ce qui ne peut s'exprimer parce qu'il existe en dehors du domaine de la signification symbolique. Constitué à travers un regard masculin et donc doté du mystère de celui dont le statut objectif est perçu comme absolu et définitif. Un . . . devient une femme... Dans la relation dialectique entre l'humanisme traditionnel et l'antihumanisme postmoderne apparu dans les années 1960, les femmes continuent d'être déplacées. Comment peuvent-ils aspirer, rejeter ou synthétiser un nouveau mode d’être à partir d’une thèse qui n’a jamais contenu ou exprimé ce qu’ils ont ressenti comme étant leur expérience historique ?

Sororophobia: Differences among women in literature and culture. - Michie, Helena (Oxford University Press, 1992)
This book looks at how differences among women have been textually represented at a variety of historical moments and in a variety of cultural contexts, including Victorian mainstream fiction, African-American mulatto novels, late twentieth-century lesbian communities, and contemporary country music. Sororophobia designates the complex and shifting relations between women's attempts to identify with other women and their often simultaneous desire to establish and retain difference. Michie argues for the centrality to feminism of a paradigm that moves beyond celebrations of identity and sisterhood to a more nuanced notion of women's relations with other women which may include such uncomfortable concepts as envy, jealousy, and competition as well as more institutionalized ideas of difference such as race and class. Chapters on literature are interspersed by "inter-chapters" on the choreography of sameness and difference among women in popular culture.

A lure of knowledge: Lesbian sexuality and theory - Roof, Judith (Between men-between women, 1991)
Lesbianism in literature has been dealt with rather indirectly in the past. Editors have led readers to the "artistry" of a work containing lesbianism, emphasizing instead the literary history and historical context of the work rather than the representations of lesbianism. The editor for Colette's The Pure and the Impure, for instance, affirms that Colette has a knowledge of a "strange sisterhood," but assures readers she has never strayed from the "normal." In the groundbreaking A Lure of Knowledge, Judith Roof demonstrates that representations of lesbian sexuality occupy specific locations or positions in the arguments, subject matter, and rhetoric of Western European and American literary criticism. She examines the political context of representations: how lesbian sexuality is used as a signifier an why it appears when and where it does. Roof argues that attempts to depict or explain lesbian sexuality spur anxieties about knowledge and identity. In reaction to and denial of these anxieties, lesbian sexuality is represented in film, literature, theory, and criticism as foreplay, as simulated heterosexuality, as erotic excess, as joking inauthenticity, as artful compromise, or as masculine mask in a specific repertoire of neutralization and evasion. Challenging the heterosexism of film theory and feminist theory, this book analyzes the rhetorical use of lesbian sexuality. Roof explores a range of discourses, from the woks of such authors as Anais Nin, Olga Broumas, Julia Kristeva, Jane Rule, Luce Iriguray, and Sigmund Freud, to films such as Emmanuelle, Desert Hearts, Entre Nous, and I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, to professional tennis.

Lesbian images - Rule, Jane (N.Y., 1975)
Convaincue que l'amour se décrit mieux dans une œuvre d'art, Jane Rule a choisi pour cette étude du lesbianisme le travail d'écrivaines lesbiennes brillamment articulées telles que Gertrude Stein, Colette, Vita Sachville West et Willa Cather. Son souci est de découvrir quelles images des lesbiennes ces écrivaines et d’autres lesbiennes ont dépeintes dans la fiction, la biographie et l’autobiographie – et en particulier comment elles ont été influencées par des concepts religieux et psychologiques ainsi que par leur propre expérience personnelle dans la présentation de leurs personnages lesbiens. En plus de révéler le courage de ces femmes dans un environnement hostile, elle examine la moralité négative de certaines d'entre elles et réévalue leurs idées d'un point de vue féministe. Dans ses chapitres d'introduction, l'auteure examine la manière dont l'amour entre femmes a été perçu par la société depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à nos jours ; comment l'Église chrétienne a traité l'inversion masculine et féminine comme un péché punissable ; et comment la psychiatrie a évolué à partir des mêmes préjugés anciens qui paralysent l'Église. Ce qui était « péché » est devenu « maladie » et « punition » a été remplacé par « traitement ». Dans son dernier chapitre, Jane Rule examine les changements dramatiques survenus avec l'avènement du mouvement des femmes et les luttes intestines parfois amères et douloureuses entre lesbiennes et féministes – exprimant finalement un sentiment d'espoir et d'optimisme pour un avenir plus positif.

When work–family guilt becomes a women's issue: Internalized gender stereotypes predict high guilt in working mothers but low guilt in working fathers - Aarntzen, Lianne; Derks, Belle; van Steenbergen, Elianne; van der Lippe, Tanja (British Journal of Social Psychology, 2023)
Les stéréotypes de genre prescrivent aux mères, mais pas aux pères, de donner la priorité à leur famille plutôt qu’à leur travail. Par conséquent, l’intériorisation des stéréotypes de genre peut prédire une culpabilité plus élevée chez les mères que chez les pères dans des situations où ils privilégient leur travail plutôt que leur famille. L’étude 1 (135 mères et 116 pères) a en effet révélé que plus les stéréotypes de genre implicites des pères étaient forts (mesurés à l’aide d’une tâche d’association implicite genre-carrière), moins les pères se déclaraient coupables dans une situation fictive d’interférence du travail dans la famille. Bien que les mères aient en moyenne déclaré une culpabilité plus élevée que les pères, cet effet n’a pas été atténué par leurs stéréotypes de genre implicites. L’étude 2 (étude du journal quotidien auprès de 105 mères) a toutefois révélé des preuves de l’effet modérateur des stéréotypes de genre implicites sur la culpabilité des mères qui travaillent. Plus les stéréotypes de genre implicites des mères étaient forts, plus elles déclaraient avoir des conflits entre le travail et la famille et de la culpabilité les jours où elles travaillaient de longues heures. Ces résultats montrent que les stéréotypes de genre implicites façonnent la façon dont les parents perçoivent leurs choix travail-famille.

Gender in the flesh: Allostatic load as the embodiment of stressful, gendered work in Canadian police communicators - Birze, Arija; Paradis, Elise; Regehr, Cheryl; LeBlanc, Vicki; Einstein, Gillian (Work, Employment and Society, 2023)
Gender and work are important social determinants of health, yet studies of health inequities related to the gendered and emotional intricacies of work are rare. Occupations high in emotional labour – a known job stressor – are associated with ill-health and typically dominated by women. Little is known about the mechanisms linking health with these emotional components of work. Using physiological and questionnaire data from Canadian police communicators, we adopt an embodied approach to understanding the relationship between gender norm conformity, emotional labour, and physiological dysregulation, or allostatic load. For high conformers, emotional labour leaves gendered traces in the flesh via increased allostatic load, suggesting that in this way, gendered structures in the workplace become embodied, influencing health through conformity to gender and emotion norms. Findings also reveal that dichotomous conceptions of gender may mask the impact of gendered structures, obscuring the consequences of gender for work-related stress.

Queerness is a particular liability: Feeling rules in college and university LGBTQ centers - Mandala, Chad R.; Ortiz, Stephanie M. (Journal of Homosexuality, 2023)
Organizational sociologists argue that informal and formal rules within workplaces function to increase employee productivity and effectiveness, but can also have negative emotional consequences. Feeling rules, which are the emotional norms that regulate interpersonal interactions within the workplace are not applied equally; white women and professionals of color are expected to display deference in the face of emotionally-charged experiences at work, while their counterparts are given more flexibility in how they could display anger or annoyance. Scholars note that feeling rules work to reproduce extant gendered and racial hierarchies when expectations regarding worker productivity, effectiveness and outcomes are restricted on the basis of social identities. Analyzing sixteen semi-structured interviews with LGBTQ Center staff, we demonstrate the feeling rules are organized around employees’ ability to (1) (re)produce trauma in themselves during training sessions and (2) minimize students’ and their own anger throughout the workday. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the gender gap in newly created domains of household labor - Abromaviciute, Jurgita; Carian, Emily K. (Sociological Perspectives, 2022)
In this study, we draw on interview data from 62 matched different-sex, dual-career spouses raising young children to examine the mechanisms behind the gender gap in household labor during the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that the pandemic represents a unique case of social uncertainty and an opportunity to observe how structural conditions shape the gendered division of household labor. We find that under the rapid social transformation imposed by the pandemic, gender serves as an anchor and orienting frame for couples with young children. We argue that the pandemic (1) expanded traditional gender expectations to new domains of household labor and (2) heightened the importance of gendered explanations for the division of labor that justified intra-couple inequality. Our findings suggest that the particular structural conditions that characterize different times of uncertainty work through slightly different mechanisms, yet produce the same outcome: gender inequality, with long-lasting and wide-ranging implications. © The Author(s) 2022.

“The workload is staggering”: Changing working conditions of stay-at-home mothers under COVID-19 lockdowns - Aslam, Awish; Adams, Tracey L. (Gender, Work and Organization, 2022)
The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to the home as a work environment, but the focus has centered on the experiences of paid workers. Stay-at-home mothers (SAHMs), for whom the home was already a workplace, have received little attention. This article explores how pandemic-induced lockdowns impacted SAHMs' working conditions and their experiences of childrearing. Combining a Marxist-feminist conceptualization of domestic labor with a labor process framework, we performed a qualitative content analysis of vignettes SAHMs shared about their day-to-day domestic labor in an online mothering community. Our findings show that, under lockdown conditions, the primacy given to partners' paid work combined with children's increased demands for care and attention reduced SAHMs work autonomy and exacerbated gender inequalities in the home. Combining labor process theory with literature on motherwork illuminates the home as a gendered work environment and enhances understanding of how changing conditions of domestic labor can intensify gender inequalities (and workers' awareness of them) that typically remain “hidden in the household.”. © 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

"I am willing to do both well": Chinese academic mothers facing tension in family and career. - Bao, Li; Wang, Guanghua (Frontiers in psychology, 2022)
Academic mothers perform intersected roles. They carry out their profession in workplaces, while they take the "second shift" of motherhood back to their families. The contested expectations in family and career built by the heterosexual matrix cause tension to academic mothers. We qualitatively investigate the interview data of six Chinese women academics on how they perform to negotiate their motherhood and academic work in the context of Chinese higher education, driven by the Butlerian theoretical concept of the heterosexual matrix. The findings suggest that Chinese academic mothers play a zero-sum game between being mothers and being academics, deriving from their ontological responsibilities of motherhood. We conclude that in the masculine academia, these women academics help maintain the heterosexual matrix by satisfying the gender normativity when they negotiate their performances in their family and career; meanwhile, most have developed some strategies to achieve their career advancement.; Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

Multidirectional carework across borders: Latina immigrant women negotiating motherhood and daughterhood - Bruhn, Sarah; Oliveira, Gabrielle (Journal of Marriage and Family, 2022)
Objective: The authors examine how transnational caregiving for immigrant women encompasses a set of complex gendered relationships and roles as mothers and daughters across national borders. Background: Scholars have explored transnational motherhood for women who migrate, often in search of employment, while their children remain in their nation of origin. Much of this research has focused on how migration transforms mother-child relationships. Intergenerational relationships between immigrant mothers and their own mothers, and the emotional and economic care that facilitates these ties, are often left out of the picture of transnational family life. Methods: Through ethnographic work, the authors conducted in-depth interviews with 63 mothers from Latin America who migrated to the greater Boston metropolitan area. Additionally, the authors draw from extensive participant observation with mothers at home, school, and sites throughout their communities. Results: The authors theorize how Latina immigrant women are at the center of a web of multidirectional carework as they negotiate intergenerational responsibilities as mothers and daughters. The women in the present study orient their decisions, paid labor, and child-rearing around sustaining transnational familial relationships across generations. As a result, they provide emotional and economic care in multiple directions, including maintaining relationships between children and grandchildren, even as they adapt to ruptures in receiving care from their own mothers. Conclusion: The authors argue that despite the gendered labor this emotional and economic work entails, the immigrant mothers in the present study value their carework, which ultimately becomes a means for them to exert agency in the face of anti-immigrant policies and discourses.

Women's overload during the pandemic: Unpaid care work, financial well-being, and stress - Bulog, Ivana; Pepur, Sandra; Smiljanić, Ana Rimac (Management : Journal of Contemporary Management Issues, 2022)
This study examines the relationship between unpaid care work, financial well-being, and stress levels among women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic caused downturns in the economies of countries worldwide and led to uncertainties and changes that created conditions for increased stress levels and consequently impaired well-being. In addition to social distancing and lockdown measures to cope with the virus, working from home, home schooling, caring for sick and older family members, and financial problems have added burdens and have proven to be additional personal and family stressors. The findings are based on an online survey conducted among women during the second lockdown in Croatia. Additional unpaid care work and lower financial well-being affect the increased stress felt by women during the pandemic. This is especially pronounced among women who are more involved in paid work. During the pandemic, additional unpaid care work, increased involvement in paid work, and jeopardized financial well-being were stressors for women. Our results indicate the importance of women s free time for their own and their families 'well-being.

COVID-19 and gender inequity in science: Consistent harm over time - Caldarulo, Mattia; Olsen, Jared; Frandell, Ashlee; Islam, Shaika; Johnson, Timothy P; Feeney, Mary K; Michalegko, Lesley; Welch, Eric W (PLoS One, 2022)
Stay-at-home-orders, online learning, and work from home policies are some of the responses governments, universities, and other institutions adopted to slow the spread of COVID-19. However, research shows these measures have increased pre-existing gender disparities in the workplace. The working conditions for women during the pandemic worsened due to increased family care responsibilities and unequal distribution of domestic labor. In the academy, working from home has resulted in reduced research time and increased teaching and family care responsibilities, with a larger proportion of that burden falling to women. We investigate the persistence of gender inequity among academic scientists resulting from university COVID-19 responses over time. We draw on two surveys administered in May 2020 and May 2021 to university-based biologists, biochemists, and civil and environmental engineers, to analyze how the pandemic response has disproportionately impacted women in academia and the endurance of those inequities. Results show significantly greater negative impacts from the pandemic on women’s research activities and work-life balance, compared to men. We conclude by discussing the implications of our results, and the need for the academy to better predict and adjust to the gender disparities its policies create.

“I have no room of my own”: COVID-19 pandemic and work-from-home through a gender lens - Chauhan, Priyanshi (Gender Issues, 2022)
Working from home is not gender neutral. As the COVID-19 pandemic has relocated all non-essential work to the home setting, it becomes imperative to examine the phenomenon through a gender lens. Accordingly, I conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with 30 dual-earning married couples in India to study the gendered work-from-home experiences of men and women during the pandemic. The findings suggest that the pandemic has disproportionately increased the burden of unpaid work for women as compared to men. Women are negotiating gendered time–space arrangements within their households with the allocation of limited resources being in favor of men. When this interacts with work, gender inequalities are reinforced both at work and home. Gender roles and unpaid work determine women’s choices regarding when and where to work, boundary management between work and non-work domains, and their experiences of social isolation. Further, gender roles have also affected women’s decisions regarding returning to work post-pandemic, where some women may not be returning to work at all. Finally, the paper identifies how gender intersects with the existing conceptual frameworks of working from home, and makes a strong case for integrating gender considerations in the work-from-home policies. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Women's invisible work in disaster contexts: Gender norms in speech on women's work after a forest fire in Sweden - Danielsson, Erna; Eriksson, Kerstin (Disasters, 2022)
The aim of this study is to investigate what women do in disaster situations and how both men and women perceive and discuss the work of women. These patterns were evidenced in the stories that were told following the largest forest fire in the modern history of Sweden in July 2014. The study is based on 31 retrospective interviews with volunteers involved in combating the forest fire and concentrates on stories about the supportive work of women during this disaster. The results indicate that women were praised when they followed traditional norms but were denigrated when they performed what were viewed as male-coded tasks. The stories reveal norms concerning what a woman is and is not by focusing on women's age and clothing and by directly and indirectly questioning their abilities and authority. The norms are also rendered visible by the positive attention that women receive while describing doing what is expected of them

Commoning care: Feminist degrowth visions for a socio-ecological transformation - Dengler, Corinna; Lang, Miriam (Feminist Economics, 2022)
This paper addresses the question of how to organize care in degrowth societies that call for social and ecological sustainability, as well as gender and environmental justice, without prioritizing one over the other. By building on degrowth scholarship, feminist economics, the commons, and decolonial feminisms, we rebut the strategy of shifting yet more unpaid care work to the monetized economy, thereby reinforcing the separation structure in economics. A feminist degrowth imaginary implies destabilizing prevalent dichotomies and overcoming the (inherent hierarchization in the) boundary between the monetized economy and the invisibilized economy of socio-ecological provisioning. The paper proposes an incremental, emancipatory decommodification and a commonization of care in a sphere beyond the public/private divide, namely the sphere of communitarian and transformative caring commons, as they persist at the margins of capitalism and are (re-)created by social movements around the world.HIGHLIGHTS Degrowth aims at creating human flourishing within planetary boundaries.As feminist degrowth scholarship, this study discusses degrowth visions for care work.It problematizes the shifting of yet more unpaid care work to the monetized economy.Instead, it proposes collective (re)organization in the sphere of the commons.Caring commons are no automatism for a gender-just redistribution of care work.

The extreme gendering of COVID−19: Household tasks and division of labour satisfaction during the pandemic. - Haney, Timothy J.; Barber, Kristen (Canadian Review of Sociology, 2022)
Depuis de nombreuses années, les chercheurs attirent notre attention sur l’écart entre les sexes dans le travail domestique. Même lorsque les femmes occupent un emploi rémunéré, elles effectuent néanmoins la majorité des tâches ménagères dans la plupart des pays riches. En même temps, les catastrophes et les crises révèlent et exacerbent les inégalités sociales existantes. Dans cet article, nous nous demandons : de quelle manière la pandémie de COVID-19 a-t-elle contribué à l’écart entre les sexes dans le travail domestique, y compris la garde des enfants ? Que pensent les femmes et les hommes de cet écart ? En utilisant les données de la série d’enquêtes Perspectives canadiennes (vague 3), menée par Statistique Canada trois mois après le début de la pandémie, nos analyses examinent la répartition des tâches qui a rendu le travail domestique extrêmement inégal pendant la COVID-19, les femmes étant dix fois plus susceptibles que les hommes de dire que la garde des enfants leur incombait principalement, par exemple. Pourtant, dans presque tous nos modèles, les femmes n’ont pas systématiquement déclaré être plus insatisfaites de la répartition des tâches domestiques au sein du foyer, ni n’ont été plus susceptibles que les hommes de dire que la division du travail domestique « s’est détériorée » pendant la COVID ; cependant, les parents ont eu l’impression qu’elle s’était détériorée. Nous examinons les conséquences de ces résultats sur la santé mentale des femmes, le travail rémunéré à long terme et le pouvoir interpersonnel, et nous nous demandons pourquoi nous ne constatons pas de baisse de la satisfaction des femmes à l'égard de cette division du travail. Ces résultats mettent en lumière l'inégalité des sexes et la famille comme piliers permanents du capitalisme, et la façon dont la résistance structurelle et interpersonnelle à la pandémie se fait particulièrement sentir aux dépens des femmes.

Gender inequities in household labor predict lower sexual desire in women partnered with men - Harris, Emily A; Gormezano, Aki M.; van Anders, Sari M. (Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2022)
Low sexual desire in women is usually studied as a problem, one that is located within women. However, other possibilities exist, including known gender inequities related to heteronormative gender roles. In this study, we provide the first test of the theory that heteronormativity is related to low sexual desire in women partnered with men, focusing specifically on inequities in the division of household labor. In two studies with women who were partnered with men and had children (Study 1, N = 677; Study 2, N = 396), performing a large proportion of household labor was associated with significantly lower sexual desire for a partner. Together, the results suggest that this association was mediated by both perceiving the partner as a dependent and perceiving the division of labor as unfair. These results support the heteronormativity theory of low sexual desire in women partnered with men, and show that gender inequities are important, though understudied, contributors to low desire in women partnered with men. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Invisible work at work and the reproduction of gendered social service organizations - Lavee, Einat; Kaplan, Amit (Gender, Work and Organization, 2022)
Des études démontrent que la convergence du néolibéralisme et des impératifs de la nouvelle gestion publique crée des conditions dans lesquelles les prestataires de services sociaux entreprennent divers types de travail non rémunéré, réaffirmant le rôle du genre dans la prestation de services. En s’appuyant sur ces arguments, cette étude explore le processus par lequel les pratiques non rémunérées restructurent le genre dans les organisations de services sociaux, en utilisant le concept de « travail invisible ». En appliquant la méthode d’enquête de l’ethnographie institutionnelle, nous examinons les expériences des travailleurs des services sociaux dans le secteur public israélien et opérationnalisons le travail non rémunéré comme des ressources personnelles informelles que les travailleurs fournissent aux clients. L’analyse de 185 entretiens approfondis a révélé trois principaux cadres discursifs que les travailleurs utilisent pour justifier la fourniture de ressources personnelles. Grâce à ces cadres, les pratiques informelles deviennent invisibles en tant que travail à plusieurs niveaux – pour soi-même, pour l’organisation et pour la société. Tout comme le travail invisible dans le ménage, son invisibilité sur le lieu de travail constitue une force principale dans la reproduction des organisations de services sociaux sexuées.

Gendered impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic: A mixed-method study of teacher stress and work-life balance - Leo, Aaron; Holdsworth, Elizabeth A.; Wilcox, Kristen C.; Khan, Maria I.; Mola Ávila, José Antonio; Tobin, Jessie (Community, Work and Family, 2022)
There is a growing concern that the COVID-19 pandemic has had disproportionate impacts on women, especially those with children. Female educators, and, in particular, those with childcare responsibilities, have also reported higher levels of stress and work-life challenges as compared to their male counterparts. It is unclear exactly which factors are behind these disparities. However, while some have pointed to the gendered division of domestic labor as the main contributor, other pandemic-related and work-related stressors may be involved in female educators’ increased stress levels and work-life balance challenges. To address this question, this mixed-methods research draws on survey data gathered from 752 educators across New York State. Findings demonstrate that women reported higher levels of stress and work-life balance challenges than their male counterparts. While quantitative analyses indicated that gender disparities in work-life balance challenges were related to the higher stress women experienced from work and COVID-19 rather than childcare responsibilities, qualitative analyses of open-ended survey responses revealed that childcare duties were nonetheless an important factor impacting work-life balance challenges for both men and women. This article has significant implications for the teaching profession and adds broader insights into the gendered effects of the pandemic. © 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Better stories for a gender equal and fairer social recovery from outbreaks: learnings from the RESISTIRÉ project - Strid, Sofia; Schrodi, Colette; Cibin, Roberto (Gender & Development, 2022)
La pandémie a radicalement modifié l’organisation de la société, avec une augmentation du travail à domicile, de l’enseignement à domicile et de la présence en ligne, le tout avec des implications spécifiques (non)intentionnelles sur le travail de soins rémunéré et non rémunéré. Ces implications, comme celles d’autres crises, sont sexistes et se manifestent selon le sexe, l’âge, le handicap, l’origine ethnique/la race, le statut migratoire, la religion, la classe sociale et les intersections entre ces inégalités. Si de nombreuses études ont identifié ces impacts inégaux et négatifs et soulignent d’importantes inégalités liées aux soins, la contribution spécifique de cet article est différente, à savoir celle de mettre en évidence des pratiques inspirantes comme de meilleures histoires de et dans le domaine des soins pendant la pandémie. L’objectif est de rendre ces meilleures histoires visibles et de les considérer comme des moyens d’atténuer les impacts inégaux de la COVID-19 et de ses réponses politiques. Théoriquement, l’approche est basée sur les « meilleures histoires », telles que développées par Dina Georgis (2013, Better Story. Queer Affects from the Middle East , New York : State University). L'article utilise des données quantitatives et qualitatives, recueillies auprès des 27 États membres de l'UE, de l'Islande, de la Serbie, de la Turquie et du Royaume-Uni, dans le cadre du projet européen H2020 RESISTIRÉ.

Hosting overnight guests: Gendered unpaid work as a solidarity mechanism of migrants in the process of urbanization in Turkey - Uyar Mura, Elif S. (Social Politics, 2022)
This article addresses overnight guest hosting, which is a widespread solidarity practice among rural-to-urban migrants in Turkey. The fieldwork, based on in-depth interviews with 28 first-generation migrant women, reveals that it was mostly the young migrant women who shouldered hosting tasks as gendered unpaid work, which deepen their time poverty and reinforce their dependence on family. The analysis highlights the links between intersectional disadvantages of young migrant women and poverty, the failure of the welfare state to provide social assistance for migrants, and the familialist character of social policy during the peak years of migration. © 2022 The Author(s).

The entrenchment of the ideal worker norm during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from working mothers in the United States - Zanhour, Mona; Sumpter, Dana (Gender, Work and Organization, 2022)
We study shifts in the ideal worker culture as experienced by working mothers across organizations in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Experiences of 53 interviewees who attended to increased responsibilities across both work and family domains revealed an entrenchment of the ideal worker culture across nearly all organizations and professions. This manifested in three levels: as (1) a reinforced ideal worker culture in the workplace through work intensification, increased competitiveness, and surface-level support; (2) the reinforcing of organizations' ideal worker norms at home, with gendered division of space and labor; and (3) experienced internalized ideal worker norms in the expectations working mothers maintained for themselves. These findings offer insight into the lives of working mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges which have pushed many mothers to reduce work hours or leave the workforce. Highlighting the intricate nature of the entrenchment of the ideal worker culture informs implications for theory of gendered organizations and for organizational practice. © 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Women and burnout in the context of a pandemic - Aldossari, Maryam; Chaudhry, Sara (Gender, Work & Organization, 2021)
This article presents the lived narrative of a female academic with children working in a British university and trying to cope with a completely new way of work and life in the context of the pandemic. The overall aim of the article is to offer a gendered account of burnout—specifically how women may be experiencing burnout at multiple levels, and the efficacy of their subsequent coping strategies. The narrative provides insights into how a range of coping mechanisms such as disengagement, denial, and energy conservation are deployed to deal with the increased responsibilities at work and home as a result of the pandemic. Existing research has viewed burnout as gender neutral, leaving a gap in the literature on the significant differences in both men's and women's experience of burnout as well as their coping behaviors.

Enactors or reactors? Work-life border management for women in law in Nigeria - Beauregard, T. Alexandra; Adisa, Toyin Ajibade (Community, Work and Family, 2021)
Work-family border theory casts individuals as protagonists who are enactive rather than reactive in shaping borders between work and personal life domains. To what extent is this the case in strongly patriarchal contexts that constrain women’s personal agency? This qualitative study conducted with 32 female lawyers, magistrates and justices in Nigeria shows how participants engage in new border management tactics in response to context-specific institutional and social factors. Faced with public harassment and physical assault in a country where violence against women is normalised, female legal professionals restructure family borders to extend no further than their homes and retain police attachés as border-keepers. When their families are reconfigured via nonconsensual polygamous marriages, women’s work borders are strengthened by co-wives performing domestic labour and family borders are strengthened by co-wives’ assistance with job tasks, thereby reducing participants’ work-family conflict. Rather than strategically enacting work-life borders within known situational constraints, Nigerian female legal professionals react to involuntary events that limit their agency to negotiate desired work and personal lives. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Paid and unpaid work during the Covid-19 pandemic: A study of the gendered division of domestic responsibilities during lockdown - Borah Hazarika, Obja; Das, Sarmistha (Journal of Gender Studies, 2021)
The Covid-19 pandemic and the strategies implemented to deal with it have had economic and societal repercussions all over the world. In India, a nationwide lockdown was initiated on 25 March 2020 which continued in a diluted form as we were conducting the interviews for the paper in July 2020. The lockdown brought activities outside the home to a standstill and people were expected to stay indoors in order to ensure social distancing and break the chain of infection. The lockdown sparked its own problems and triggered discussions on issues including economic hardship and domestic violence. The question of how domestic responsibilities are shared among adults in families has also come to the forefront of debate. As hired part-time help was discontinued under lockdown, parents who had hitherto outsourced childcare and housework were suddenly left to fend for themselves. This article attempts to explore the manner in which such unpaid domestic responsibilities, especially childcare, were shared between parents in middle-class homes. The gendered nature of this division of housework and care work, and its varied implications on the paid work and careers of mothers and fathers, is the focus of inquiry. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Producing the patchwork: The hidden work of mothers in organizing child care. - Breitkreuz, Rhonda; Colen, Kerryn; Horne, Rebecca (Journal of Family Studies, 2021)
This article aims to explore how child care is organized in families, documenting how mothers produce their individual child care solution, or “patchwork”, within the context of Canada’s underfunded and fragmented child care system. In a sample of 109 mothers from Alberta, Canada, where child care is conceptualized as primarily a private family responsibility, we use an ecocultural theoretical framework and a gender lens to 1) identify the constraints that influenced what kinds of child care mothers used, 2) explore the organization of day-to-day child care arrangements, and 3) explicate the accommodations and flexibility required to sustain the family routine. We show that in addition to previously recognized categories of child care—formal, informal, and mixed—families also used multiple informal and parent-plus (i.e., parental plus non-parental) child care. The procurement and management of child care—particularly when multiple care providers were involved—was gendered, often invisible, and required substantial accommodations and flexibility by mothers. We propose a day-care plus policy model of child care, where formal arrangements are supplemented as required. This policy model could help families avoid the complex scenarios we conceptualize as chaotic flexibility and assist families in achieving sustainable flexibility in the organization of care.

Emotion work and gender inequality in transnational family life - Chávez, Sergio; Paige, Robin; Edelblute, Heather (Journal of Family Issues, 2021)
This study examines the emotion work of non-migrant women as they seek to sustain family life across borders. We draw on in-depth interviews with 59 non-migrant women in Guanajuato, Mexico who had immigrant spouses in the USA to assess emotion work dynamics between partners. Our analysis reveals that non-migrant women do emotion work that entails imagining lives abroad and then tailoring emotional support that addresses the needs of spouses. We also discuss how the difficulties associated with prolonged separation leads women to suppress their own needs and feelings, which can lead to emotional burnout and marital conflict. Putting non-migrant women and their activities at the center of our analysis highlights the emotional costs of migration for those who remain behind and the ways in which emotion work is a highly gendered activity that reinforces inequality through communication. We highlight how women’s subordinated status in transnational Mexican families and the need to keep the remittances flowing help explain why emotion work falls largely on women. © The Author(s) 2021.

“You’re a teacher you’re a mother, you’re a worker”: Gender inequality during COVID‐19 in Ireland - Clark, Serena; McGrane, Amy; Boyle, Neasa; Joksimovic, Natasha; Burke, Lydia; Rock, Nicole; Katriona O’ Sullivan (Gender, Work and Organization, 2021)
The novel coronavirus (COVID‐19) was declared a global pandemic in March 2020. Unlike previous highly contagious diseases that brought the threat of global instability this century such as SARS‐CoV, Zika virus (ZIKV), Swine flu (H1N1), and the Avian flu (H5N1), COVID‐19 was unable to be contained. Global restrictions were implemented to curb the spread of the virus, which included but were not limited to the closure of all educational institutions and the advice to engage in remote working. This study aims to understand the experience of working mothers who managed work and home duties during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Ireland. Thirty working mothers were interviewed in this study, and qualitative analyses were conducted to gain insight into their work and family life during the restrictions. The findings of the analysis indicate that working mothers have been negatively impacted by COVID‐19 in relation to their psychological well‐being, experiences of negative emotions, and the redefinition of family dynamics, in which working mothers have adopted additional and disproportionate care burden. These findings are consistent with the current research arguing that COVID‐19 has highlighted an increase in the gender gap in domestic labor as well as the undermining of career advancement for working mothers.

Is vulnerability to climate change gendered? And how? Insights from Egypt - Daoud, Mona (Regional Environmental Change, 2021)
La plupart des études sur le changement climatique ont tendance à minimiser la nature sexuée de la vulnérabilité. Au mieux, le genre est abordé en termes de binarité homme-femme, considérés comme des forces opposées plutôt que dans des relations variables d'interdépendance. Une telle construction peut aboutir à l'adoption de politiques et d'interventions culturellement inadaptées et aveugles au genre. En Égypte, pays très vulnérable au changement climatique, l'analyse sexuée de la vulnérabilité est presque inexistante. Cet article aborde cette importante lacune de la recherche en posant la question et en s'appuyant sur un contexte égyptien rural : « Comment les aspects relationnels sexués des moyens de subsistance des hommes et des femmes au sein du ménage et de la communauté influencent-ils la vulnérabilité au changement climatique ? ». Pour répondre à cette question, je m'appuie sur une analyse sexuée des relations sociales, encadrée par une compréhension des moyens de subsistance durables. Au cours de 16 mois de travail sur le terrain, j'ai utilisé plusieurs méthodes ethnographiques pour collecter des données dans deux villages à faible revenu culturellement et ethniquement divers en Égypte. Mon principal argument est que les expériences du changement climatique sont étroitement liées au genre et aux relations sociales plus larges au sein du ménage et de la communauté. Ces facteurs sont façonnés par des idéologies et des cultures locales genrées qui sont ancrées dans les relations conjugales, la parenté et la relation à l’environnement, comparées entre les deux villages. Dans cet article, je soutiens avec force que la vulnérabilité au changement climatique est fortement genrée et que, par conséquent, l’analyse de genre devrait être au cœur des discours, des politiques et des interventions sur le changement climatique.

Urban mobility with a focus on gender: The case of a middle-income Latin American city - Olivieri, Cecilia; Fageda, Xavier (Journal of Transport Geography, 2021)
This study analyzes gender differences in travel patterns for the Metropolitan Area of Montevideo, Uruguay. By applying multilevel regression models, it provides estimates of the impact of individual and contextual factors on travel behavior. The paper's findings lend support to the household responsibility hypothesis, which claims that women's travel patterns are affected by the type of household in which they live and the consequent responsibilities or roles they assume. Furthermore, gender differences in travel patterns are reinforced across census tracts. The results indicate that policy makers need to consider gender differences when seeking to enhance urban planning decisions. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd

Gendered care work and environmental injustice: A feminist analysis of educator's emotional labor in disaster recovery - Shtob, Daniel A.; Petrucci, Larissa (Environmental Justice, 2021)
Although environmental justice researchers have long been interested in the connections between disaster recovery, gender, and home- and community-based care, the consequences of the post-disaster performance of emotional labor by workers in care occupations have largely gone unnoticed. To address this gap in the environmental injustice literature, in this exploratory article we employ a feminist analysis of firsthand accounts of elementary educators' professional and personal experiences caring for their students in the Florida Keys after Hurricane Irma. We find that caring labor was increasingly necessary in the post-disaster context, both inside and outside the classroom. Teachers and other care professionals in feminized occupations may, therefore, perform an emotional double duty, supporting their students' emotional needs while also contending—as working- and middle-class individuals—with the personal consequences of disaster. We suggest that these educators may bear an unrecognized and undercompensated disproportionate burden at the intersection of class and occupational status. Because of this, we introduce an underexplored component to the racialized disaster patriarchy and intersectional disaster research: feminized occupational status. Inspired by environmental justice research legacies developed in the wake of earlier Gulf Coast disasters, we draw attention to the contributions of these absolutely essential recovery workers and how they may experience environmental injustice even as they contribute to others' recovery. Our goals are to promote recognition and fair distribution of burdens, encourage research into the contours of environmental justice and care work, and support the development of more just planning, training, and compensation regimes.

Undocumented mothers and work–family conflict in restrictive policy contexts - Straut-Eppsteiner, Holly (Journal of Marriage and Family, 2021)
Objectif Cette recherche examine la manière dont les mères latines sans papiers négocient le conflit travail-famille dans un contexte de politiques d’immigration restrictives. Arrière-plan Aux États-Unis, les femmes continuent de lutter contre les tensions entre travail et famille, et les femmes pauvres sont confrontées à des contraintes particulières. Les immigrées latinos se sont de plus en plus installées et ont fondé des familles aux États-Unis, et ont rejoint le marché du travail dans des emplois à bas salaires. Contrairement aux femmes nées aux États-Unis, ces femmes doivent faire face à des politiques d’immigration restrictives, ce qui suggère de nouveaux domaines de compréhension des inégalités intersectionnelles qui façonnent le conflit travail-famille. Méthode Les résultats sont basés sur des entretiens approfondis menés auprès de 45 mères immigrantes latinos en Caroline du Nord qui avaient une expérience du marché du travail rémunéré. Les sujets d'entretien comprenaient la famille, le travail et la migration tout au long de la vie des femmes. Résultats Les contextes politiques spécifiques au lieu, les conditions de travail, les attentes patriarcales et le manque d'accès aux réseaux de soins remettent en question la capacité des immigrantes latines à remplir le double rôle de mère qu'elles occupent à la fois en tant que pourvoyeuses de famille et en tant que soignantes et nourricières de leurs enfants. Conclusion Les attentes sociales liées à la maternité ajoutent une dimension de précarité au statut vulnérable des femmes en tant que travailleuses sans papiers et démontrent l’impact genré des politiques d’immigration. Conséquences Les politiques restrictives rendent de plus en plus difficile pour les femmes sans papiers d’obtenir ou de changer d’emploi sur le marché du travail à bas salaires. Les résultats soulignent l’importance de prendre en compte le statut d’immigrant dans les études sur les conflits travail-famille, en particulier à l’heure où les politiques ciblant les immigrés s’intensifient.

The physical burden of water carrying and women’s psychosocial well-being: Evidence from rural nepal - Tomberge, Vica Marie J.; Bischof, Janine Stefanie; Meierhofer, Regula; Shrestha, Akina; Inauen, Jennifer (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021)
Dans les pays à faible revenu, de nombreuses femmes transportent de lourdes charges d'eau potable pour leur famille sur des terrains difficiles. Cela peut nuire à leur santé et à leur bien-être. La présente étude est la première à examiner la charge physique du transport de l'eau et le bien-être psychosocial des femmes, ainsi que la manière dont cette relation est modérée par les conditions environnementales et sanitaires. Des enquêteurs locaux formés ont mené des entretiens avec 1 001 femmes dans cinq communautés rurales du Népal. En outre, des mesures objectives ont été utilisées pour évaluer le poids porté et la distance par rapport à la source d'eau. La charge physique du transport de l'eau a été calculée à partir du poids, de la distance et de la fréquence des déplacements. Son association avec le bien-être psychosocial a été modélisée à l'aide d'équations d'estimation généralisées. Deux autres modèles incluaient le terrain et le prolapsus utérin comme modérateurs. La charge physique du transport de l'eau est directement liée à une détresse émotionnelle plus élevée et à une réduction du fonctionnement quotidien. Cette corrélation était exacerbée pour les femmes transportant sur un terrain vallonné par rapport à un terrain plat, et pour celles qui souffraient d'un prolapsus utérin. Nos résultats soulignent l'importance d'un accès adéquat à l'eau pour le bien-être psychosocial des femmes, en particulier pour les populations vulnérables telles que les femmes en mauvaise santé (par exemple, prolapsus utérin) ou celles vivant dans des terrains vallonnés. Les résultats soulignent en outre l'interdépendance de l'Objectif de développement durable (ODD) 6 : accès à l'eau, de l'ODD 3 : santé et bien-être et de l'ODD 5 : égalité des sexes.

Teleworking: A curse or a blessing for gender equality and work-life balance? - Tomei, Manuela (Intereconomics, 2021)
The COVID-19 pandemic has fast-tracked the adoption of teleworking modalities by employers everywhere. Teleworking has permitted many companies and organisations to keep functioning, while shielding employees from exposure to the virus during nationwide lockdowns and other containment measures introduced by governments across the globe. As some parts of the world are transitioning to a form of normalcy, working from home seems to be destined to become a more common feature of corporate culture in the post-COVID-19 era, too. In the past months, a number of big companies have announced that they would allow employees to telework in a “hybrid format”, combining in-presence work with working from home. Governments have not remained idle either, with many of them adopting new laws in this domain or considering doing so. In such a context, it is legitimate to ask whether the wider adoption of teleworking might narrow the gender divide and help dismantle a corporate culture of “presenteeism” that penalises women, or if it will make gender inequalities worse. Who is more likely to take up teleworking in the future, women or men? What consequences will it have for their careers, training opportunities, remuneration and the gender pay gap? What will be the implications for gender equality at home? This article explores these issues and concludes that policies, both at the national and workplace level, matter. Depending on their design and implementation, they can help respond to workers’ demands for enhanced fl exibility, while challenging the unequal gender division of work at home. This would not only translate into greater gender equality but would also improve the wellbeing and productivity of all workers.

Capturing conflicting accounts of domestic labour: The household portrait as a methodology - Christopher, Emily (Sociological Research Online, 2020)
Drawing on data from a UK study conducted in 2014/2015, based on qualitative interviews with 25 working parent, heterosexual couples on their domestic division of labour, I argue that the interactive methodology of the ‘Household Portrait’ not only provides data on the distribution of household labour but also reveals gender differences in how domestic labour is conceptualised and measured. Disagreements and inconsistencies between couples over who ‘mostly’ does various tasks embody gendered perceptions of the meaning of doing domestic tasks and the appropriate temporal frame for evaluating individual contributions. Partners’ joking competition over their respective contributions highlight not just the normative expectations guiding what women and men feel they should do but also the criteria that they think should be used to measure their contributions. © The Author(s) 2020.

Return of the 1950s housewife? How to stop coronavirus lockdown reinforcing sexist gender roles - Chung, Heejung (2020)
Alors que le virus COVID-19 se propage à travers le monde, de nombreux gouvernements ont fermé les écoles , les crèches et autres établissements de garde d'enfants. Avec de plus en plus de personnes travaillant à domicile , il est probable que de nombreuses familles se retrouveront dans une situation où les deux parents essaient de travailler depuis la table de la cuisine tout en essayant de faire l'école à la maison aux enfants . En plus des tâches ménagères habituelles, comme la cuisine et le ménage, ces tâches peuvent représenter une charge supplémentaire pour de nombreux parents à l'heure actuelle. Il est cependant probable que même si les deux parents sont désormais à la maison, une grande partie des tâches « domestiques » reposera toujours sur les épaules des femmes de la maison. Tout comme la ménagère des années 1950, les femmes devront non seulement préparer des repas savoureux, garder la maison propre et bien rangée et divertir les enfants, mais elles devront également faire tout cela tout en travaillant à domicile.

Coronavirus, domestic labour and care: Gendered roles locked down - Craig, Lyn (Journal of Sociology, 2020)
The Covid-19 pandemic turned daily lives upside down. Lockdowns and physical distancing meant hundreds of thousands of people switched to working from home, significantly blurring the temporal and spatial boundaries between paid work, domestic labour and caring for others. This article explores gender relations, and the division of employment, domestic labour and care, drawing on early results from an online survey, Work and Care in the Time of Covid-19, carried out between 7 May and 4 June 2020.

Data feminism - D'Ignazio, Catherine; Klein, Lauren F. (ideas series, 2020)
"A new way of thinking about data science and data ethics that is informed by the ideas of intersectional feminism. Today, data science is a form of power. It has been used to expose injustice, improve health outcomes, and topple governments. But it has also been used to discriminate, police, and surveil. This potential for good, on the one hand, and harm, on the other, makes it essential to ask: Data science by whom? Data science for whom? Data science with whose interests in mind? The narratives around big data and data science are overwhelmingly white, male, and techno-heroic. In Data Feminism, Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren Klein present a new way of thinking about data science and data ethics--one that is informed by intersectional feminist thought. Illustrating data feminism in action, D'Ignazio and Klein show how challenges to the male/female binary can help challenge other hierarchical (and empirically wrong) classification systems. They explain how, for example, an understanding of emotion can expand our ideas about effective data visualization, and how the concept of invisible labor can expose the significant human efforts required by our automated systems. And they show why the data never, ever 'speak for themselves.' Data Feminism offers strategies for data scientists seeking to learn how feminism can help them work toward justice, and for feminists who want to focus their efforts on the growing field of data science. But Data Feminism is about much more than gender. It is about power, about who has it and who doesn't, and about how those differentials of power can be challenged and changed."-

“The weight of our household rests on my shoulders”: Inequity in family work - DeGroot, Jocelyn M.; Vik, Tennley A. (Journal of Family Issues, 2020)
This study explores gendered work imbalance, particularly pertaining to parenthood, and posits a social justice perspective with equity theory. Participants for this study were mothers who disclosed their lived experiences with family workload and inequity in an online, open-ended survey. Findings reinforce previous literature, indicating that there is an imbalance in equity between heterosexual romantic partners, and that mothers are overworked and undervalued, as the invisible work completed daily creates an imbalance in the relationship. This imbalance has a negative impact on the relationship and can have long-term consequences when no means of restoring equity is in sight.

A gender-responsive employment recovery: Building back fairer - EMPLAB (International Labour Organization, 2020)
La crise du COVID-19 est différente des crises économiques précédentes dans sa profondeur et son ampleur, car des vies sont perdues, l'emploi et les moyens de subsistance sont menacés et les économies se contractent considérablement. Comme pour les crises précédentes, cependant, ses conséquences ne sont pas subies de la même manière. Comme aucune autre auparavant, cette crise a mis à nu les inégalités entre les sexes enracinées qui, aggravées par d'autres inégalités, affligent les marchés du travail. La crise du COVID-19 a un impact différent sur les femmes et les hommes, selon le secteur dans lequel ils travaillent, la fragilité de leur situation d'emploi, leur accès au travail et à la protection sociale, et leurs responsabilités familiales. Cette note montre que cette fois-ci, les emplois des femmes sont relativement plus à risque que ceux des hommes, et dans un contexte qui se détériore rapidement, les femmes les perdent plus rapidement que les hommes. Même si elles sont moins graves, les crises précédentes offrent quelques leçons de prudence pour la crise actuelle. Ils illustrent que lorsque les emplois sont rares, les femmes sont privées d'opportunités économiques et de sécurité par rapport aux hommes. Ces crises impliquent généralement l'érosion des protections du travail et la détérioration durable des conditions de travail. Et que les femmes ne sont pas seulement touchées par la perte d'emplois, mais aussi par les réductions de dépenses qui contractent la fourniture de services publics, en particulier les services de soins. Dans ce contexte, les politiques de l'emploi, y compris les politiques macroéconomiques, sectorielles et du marché du travail, doivent placer l'égalité des sexes au cœur des efforts d'urgence et de relèvement afin d'éviter des dommages à long terme aux perspectives d'emploi des femmes et de reconstruire mieux et plus juste. Cette note indique quatre priorités politiques pour une reprise sensible au genre : empêcher les femmes de perdre leur emploi ; éviter un assainissement budgétaire prématuré ; investir dans les soins; et se concentrer sur des politiques de l'emploi sensibles au genre.

Save Yourself - Esposito, Cameron (Grand Central Publishing, 2020)
This "hilarious and honest" bestselling memoir from a rising comedy star tackles issues of gender, sexuality, feminism, and the Catholic childhood that prepared her for a career as an outspoken lesbian comedian (Abby Wambach).Cameron Esposito wanted to be a priest and ended up a stand-up comic. Now she would like to tell the whole queer as hell story. Her story. Not the sidebar to a straight person's rebirth-she doesn't give a makeover or plan a wedding or get a couple back together. This isn't a queer tragedy. She doesn't die at the end of this book, having finally decided to kiss the girl. It's the sexy, honest, bumpy, and triumphant dyke's tale her younger, wasn't-allowed-to-watch-Ellen self needed to read. Because there was a long time when she thought she wouldn't make it. Not as a comic, but as a human. SAVE YOURSELF is full of funny and insightful recollections about everything from coming out (at a Catholic college where sexual orientation wasn't in the nondiscrimination policy) to how joining the circus can help you become a better comic (so much nudity) to accepting yourself for who you are-even if you're, say, a bowl cut-sporting, bespectacled, gender-nonconforming child with an eye patch (which Cameron was). Packed with heart, humor, and cringeworthy stories anyone who has gone through puberty, fallen in love, started a career, or had period sex in Rome can relate to, Cameron's memoir is for that timid, fenced-in kid in all of us-and the fearless stand-up yearning to break free.

Capital, labor, and gender: The consequences of large-scale land transactions on household labor allocation - Hajjar, Reem; Ayana, Alemayehu N.; Rutt, Rebecca; Hinde, Omer; Liao, C.; Keene, Stephanie; Bandiaky-Badji, Solange; Agrawal, Arun (Journal of Peasant Studies, 2020)
Contemporary large-scale land transactions (LSLTs), also called land grabs, are historically unprecedented in their scale and pace. They have provoked robust scholarly debates, yet studies of their gender-differentiated impacts remain more rare, particularly when it comes to how changes in control over land and resources affect women's labor, and thereby their livelihoods and well-being. Our comparative study of four LSLTs in western Ethiopia finds that the transactions led to substantial land use change, including relocation and decrease in size of smallholder parcels, loss of communally-held grazing lands, and loss of forests. These changes had far-reaching impacts on household labor allocation, the gendered division of labor, and household wellbeing. But their effects on women are both more adverse and more severe, expressed in terms of increased wage labor to make up for lost land and livestock, more time spent gathering firewood and water from increasingly distant locations, and an increased intensity of household responsibilities where male members underwent wage labor migration. These burdens led to negative psychological, corporal, and material effects on women living in and near transacted areas compared to their situation prior to transactions. This article both responds to the deficit in studies on the impacts of LSLTs on gendered livelihoods, labor relations, and wellbeing outcomes, and lays the groundwork for future research. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

The care ceiling in higher education - Lynch, Kathleen; Ivancheva, Mariya; O'Flynn, Micheál; Keating, Kathryn; O'Connor, Monica (Irish Educational Studies, 2020)
This study examines the impact of managerialist policies on care relations in higher education. It is based on a study of 10 higher education institutions in Ireland. The paper shows that a care-free worker model is ingrained in systems of performance appraisal, especially for academics in universities, and increasingly in the Institutes of Technology, although it also impacts on support staff in other professions and occupations. It assumes a life of boundary-less working hours and unhindered mobility. The market-informed tools of performance appraisal, especially audits and metrics, cannot measure essential care work because care is a process and disposition, not a product. Because it is not countable caring becomes invisible as do the people who do it. The managerial ideology of 'work--life balance' merely operates as a mask that conceals how over-working is normalised. There is no legitimate language to name over-working for the structural problem that it is. When work organisations disregard care commitments outside of work, and even within it, these are then repackaged and fed back to women/carers as personal problems and failures. The idealised care-free worker model operates as a care ceiling over women particularly; it is taken as given, even natural.

Surviving the grind: how young black women negotiate physical and emotional labor in urban space - McCurn, Alexis S. (Sociological Spectrum, 2020)
This study draws on nearly 2 years of field research in Central East Oakland, CA, to provide an ethnographic account of the daily experiences of poor, young, black women in urban space. Few scholars have explored the collective experiences of young women living in the inner-city and the innovative strategies they develop to navigate daily life in this setting. The accounts from young women in this study reveal the different types of formal and informal labor black women do to ensure survival in the inner-city and how they describe this daily work as the “grind.” The intersection of formal and informal labor that makes up the grind is reflected in three dimensions: the half-time hustle, underground entrepreneurship, and informal support networks. Like men in the neighborhood women must contend with underemployment, poverty and race and class isolation. I explain how black women are impacted in very specific ways by these key structural shifts and harsh structural conditions and must in turn manage constraining and contradictory gendered expectations while negotiating the grind. © 2020, © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The missing doctors — An analysis of educated women and female domesticity in Pakistan - Mohsin, Mariam; Syed, Jawad (Gender, Work and Organization, 2020)
While the percentage of female students in medical schools in Pakistan is as high as 80–85 per cent, the percentage of female doctors in the medical workforce remains below 50 per cent. Our findings draw on in-depth interviews with 31 female doctors to show that the reasons behind the gap between female medical students and female medical professionals are multifold and multilayered, ranging from individual reasons to organizational and sociocultural reasons. We use an adapted version of the relational framework developed by Syed and Özbilgin in 2009 to offer a contextual and multilevel understanding of female domesticity in Pakistan. The study suggests that the problem of female doctors dropping out of the medical workforce is a reflection of the interplay of social, organizational and individual factors, which are tied together by social norms. Practical implications suggest that making hospitals and health organizations more inclusive of women and their needs could be a starting point for policymakers to address the gender gap in the medical profession. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd

The division of household labor by lesbian families residing in the northeast of England - Mthombeni, Patrick; Casey, Mark E. (Journal of GLBT Family Studies, 2020)
L’objectif de cet article est d’explorer la répartition des tâches ménagères et les modèles de garde d’enfants dans les ménages lesbiens et la manière dont cela est influencé par l’économie, la classe sociale et le contexte familial. Pour ce faire, les données sont tirées de 10 séries d’entretiens qualitatifs avec des familles lesbiennes situées dans la ville de Newcastle upon Tyne, dans le nord-est de l’Angleterre. Les résultats de recherche présentés dans cet article abordent un certain nombre de thèmes et de domaines de préoccupation en relation avec la réalisation des tâches ménagères. Il s’agit notamment de la négociation des sexes et de la maternité, de la poursuite de la garde des enfants , de la classe sociale et de l’ambivalence de classe , ainsi que de l’impact du contexte familial/des proches et des attentes communautaires externes. En conclusion, l’article révèle les intersections complexes de la parentalité, du genre, de la sexualité, de la géographie, de la classe sociale et des attentes hétéronormatives dans l’information et la structuration des modèles de travail domestique et de garde d’enfants au sein de l’unité familiale homosexuelle.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the care burden of women and families - Power, Kate (Sustainability: Science, Practice and Policy, 2020)
While women were already doing most of the world’s unpaid care work prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, emerging research suggests that the crisis and its subsequent shutdown response have resulted in a dramatic increase in this burden. It is likely that the negative impacts for women and families will last for years without proactive interventions. What we commonly refer to as “the economy” would not function without the (often unrecognized) foundation of work provided by the “care economy”: the reproduction of everyday life through cooking, raising children, and so forth. The paid economy has slowed not only because people are physically not allowed into workplaces, but also because many families currently need to raise and educate their children without institutional support, which is reducing remunerated working hours and increasing stress. It has long been recognized that gross domestic product ignores the care economy and heterodox economists have promoted alternative economic systems that could value care work and facilitate a fairer sharing of domestic labor while promoting environmental and economic sustainability. This policy brief builds on recent work on the care economy to explore implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and opportunities for addressing the burden of unpaid care work.

Labor market outcomes of professional women with two children after the one‐child policy in China - Shen, Yang; Lai, Jiang (The Journal of Social Issues, 2020)
Since the implementation of the two‐child policy in China in 2016, it is unclear how professional women's labor force outcomes and family commitments have changed. Using interviews with 26 professional women with two children in Shanghai, we examined their work–life transitions and labor market outcomes. We found that the overarching constraints the interviewees faced included a lack of institutional childcare support, low paternal participation and increased physical and cognitive childcare labor. The women also experienced different constraining and enabling factors, leading to four types of labor market outcomes: enhancement, rebound, interruption and stagnation. Most of the interviewees who experienced career upward mobility after giving birth to a second child were urban singleton daughters who received tremendous parental support. Some participants experienced career interruption due to a lack of social support. The state should ensure family‐friendly work environments and promote paternal participation to reduce women's work–life conflict and address gender inequality.

Benefits and constraints of the agricultural land acquisition for urbanization for household gender equality in affected rural communes: A case study in Huong Thuy Town, Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam - Thi, Nhung Pham; Kappas, Martin; Wyss, Daniel (Land, 2020)
Le gouvernement vietnamien a mis en œuvre l'acquisition de terres agricoles pour l'urbanisation (ALAFU) depuis 2010, ce qui a provoqué un niveau élevé de transition socio-économique dans le pays. Dans cet article, nous avons appliqué l'approche genre et développement pour découvrir comment l'ALAFU a influencé l'égalité des sexes au sein des ménages dans les zones touchées de la province de Thua Thien Hue, au Vietnam. Les données de cet article ont été principalement collectées à partir de deux enquêtes auprès de groupes de ménages, de quatre discussions de groupe et de six entretiens avec des informateurs clés. Le groupe 1 couvre 50 ménages affectés dont les terres agricoles ont été acquises pour l'urbanisation, tandis que le groupe 2 se compose de 50 ménages dont les terres agricoles n'ont pas été confisquées. Les résultats révèlent que l'ALAFU a conduit à un accès réduit aux terres agricoles pour le groupe 1, mais a contribué à une augmentation du statut économique des femmes des deux groupes en créant des opportunités d'emploi non agricoles avec un bon revenu. Cependant, la plupart de leurs nouveaux emplois sont encore informels, comportent des risques potentiels et la charge de travail de soins non rémunérés est lourde. De plus, bien que le taux de participation des femmes à la prise de décision au sein du ménage ait augmenté, la qualité de la participation est limitée. Leur participation aux activités sociales et aux cours de formation professionnelle s’est améliorée de manière insignifiante. Par conséquent, si le Gouvernement continue de promouvoir l’ALAFU, il devra prendre en compte les inégalités structurelles entre les sexes pour atteindre ses objectifs de développement durable.

The work-life experiences of an invisible workforce: The case of live-in women migrant domestic workers in Malaysia - Wee Chan Au; Uracha Chatrakul Na Ayudhya; Tan, Yan Soon; Ahmed, Pervaiz K (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: An International Journal, 2020)
Purpose>The purpose of this paper is to explore the work-life (WL) experiences of live-in women migrant domestic workers (MDWs), who represent a significant proportion of migrant workers globally. MDWs play a key role in enabling the work-life balance (WLB) of others, namely the middle-class households that employ them. Yet, their experiences have largely been invisible in mainstream WL literature. The authors draw on an intersectional approach to frame the WL experiences of this marginalized group of women at the intersection of being secondary labour segment workers, with significant legal and employment restrictions as migrant workers, who work and live in the same place as their employers.Design/methodology/approach>Qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 women MDWs from Indonesia and the Philippines working in Malaysia. The women talked about the meaning of work as MDWs, how they maintain familial connections whilst working abroad, and how they negotiate their WLB as live-in workers. Thematic analysis of the interviews focused on the intersection of the women’s multiple dimensions of disadvantage, including gender, class and temporary migrant-foreigner status, in shaping their accounts of the WL interface.Findings>Three thematic narratives highlight that any semblance of WLB in the MDWs’ lived experience has given way to the needs of their employers and to the imperative to earn an income for their families back home. The themes are: working as MDWs enables the women and their families back home to have a life; the co-existence of WL boundary segmentation and integration in relation to “real” and “temporary” families; and the notion of WLB being centred around the women’s ability to fulfil their multiple duties as MDWs and absent mothers/sisters/daughters.Research limitations/implications>The study is based on a small sample of live-in women MDWs in Malaysia, intended to promote typically excluded voices and not to provide generalizable findings. Accessing potential participants was a considerable challenge, given the vulnerable positions of women MDWs and the invisible nature of their work.Practical implications>Future research should adopt a multi-stakeholder approach to studying the WL experiences of women MDWs. In particular, links with non-governmental organizations who work directly with women MDWs should be established as a way of improving future participant access.Social implications>The study underscores the existence of policies and regulations that tolerate and uphold social inequalities that benefit primary labour segment workers to the detriment of secondary labour segment workers, including women MDWs.Originality/value>Extant WL literature is dominated by the experiences of “the ideal work-life balancers”, who tend to be white middle-class women, engaged in professional work. This study offers original contribution by giving voice to a taken-for-granted group of women migrant workers who make other people’s WLB possible. Moreover, the study challenges WL research by underscoring the power inequities that shape the participants’ marginal and disadvantaged lived experience of work, life, family and WLB.

Work-family balance and the subjective well-being of rural women in Sichuan, China - Yue Shui; Xu, Dingde; Liu, Yi; Liu, Shaoquan (BMC Women's Health, 2020)
Background Due to the great burden of family and the conflicts among family, society and career roles resulting from migrant working, rural women suffer more conflicts between work and family and need more social attention. Previous studies of the conflicts between family and work mainly focus on the group of career women, and there is a lack of the research on the conflicts between work and family of rural women, which needs to be systematically and further studied.Methods This study used a sample survey of 380 rural women in rural areas of Sichuan Province to measure rural women’s cognition of work-family, coordination and handling of conflicts, post-conflict choices, and subjective well-being; the study constructs an ordered multi-class logistic regression model to explore the impact of work-family conflict on the subjective well-being of rural women in rural regions.Results The study result shows that: (1) The level of subjective well-being of rural women is generally high, and 70% of women feel satisfied or very satisfied. (2) The factor which impacts the subjective well-being among rural women most is work-interfering-with-family conflict, followed by work-family balance and confidence in conflict coordination.Conclusion This study can enhance our understanding of rural women in rural areas, and provide a reference for formulating policies to improve people’s life satisfaction.

Intentional invisibility: Professional women and the navigation of workplace constraints. - Ballakrishnen, Swethaa; Fielding-Singh, Priya; Magliozzi, Devon (Sociological Perspectives, 2019)
Drawing on an in-depth case study at a large nonprofit organization, we find, in line with previous scholarship, that women professionals continue to face biased expectations at work and at home. We leverage data from interviews and participant observation to identify a new strategy that women use to navigate professional constraints created by the second shift and workplace double binds: "intentional invisibility." Intentional invisibility refers to a set of risk-averse, conflict-avoidant strategies that women professionals in our study employ to feel authentic, manage competing expectations in the office, and balance work and familial responsibilities. We find women across the organization reporting intentionally remaining behind the scenes in attempts to avoid backlash and maintain a professional status quo. While intentional invisibility allows women to successfully navigate gender unequal professional and personal landscapes, it could simultaneously present an additional challenge to career advancement.

‘Learning the rules of the game‘: Emotional labor and the gendered academic subject in the United States - Bartos, Ann E.; Ives, Sarah (Gender, Place & Culture, 2019)
In this article, we investigate how entrenched sexism in higher education can take root in graduate school, where many of us learn the ‘rules of the academic game’ through our roles as teaching assistants (TAs). Feminist and antiracist scholars have documented how these ‘rules of the game’ are scripted on different academic bodies. We focus this article on the stubborn persistence of sexism in university life through the everyday, mundane forms of emotional labor and care that TAs feel obligated to perform. As the current #MeToo movement reminds us, sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression are as evident today as they were decades ago when feminist scholars and activists challenged the masculinism of geographical discourse through examinations of power, knowledge, and subjectivity. Our research returns to these themes by examining TAs’ experiences of sexism in the classroom through the lens of critical care ethics. A focus on TAs brings attention to the constitution of the gendered academic subject and identifies the emotional labor required to manage this subject. We believe that the durability of sexism warrants an investigation of the sites where women learn their ‘place’ in the academy.

Bargaining with confucian patriarchy: Money, culture, and gender division of labor in Taiwanese immigrant families - Gu, Chien-Juh (Qualitative Sociology, 2019)
Previous studies of immigrant families have reported consistent findings concerning the positive effects of employed wives’ financial contributions and Western gender ideologies on women’s bargaining power in the family. This paper revisits this thesis. Data presented in this article are derived from a larger project based on 45 life-history interviews with Taiwanese immigrant women in a Midwest urban region. Findings suggest that women’s employment does not serve as a key factor that shapes spousal power relations in Taiwanese immigrant families. Rather, gendered work-family boundaries and individuals’ abilities construct main rationales in women’s interpretations of their division of labor at home and their dominance in financial management. None of the women interviewed consider Western culture as an inspiration for egalitarian gender ideology. In contrast, Confucian culture is often used by husbands and mothers-in-law to demand traditional gender practice, which is further reinforced and surveilled by the Taiwanese ethnic community. Therefore, the interconnections of work, family, money, culture, and power and their interactive effects on spousal relations are more complicated than previously suggested. This study also reveals varied forms of patriarchal bargaining in Taiwanese immigrant families. Married women tend to accommodate patriarchy in their housework assignment, but actively bargain in their management of family finances and persistence to seek employment. The findings suggest that heterogeneity within the research sample, household structure, and individuals’ subjectivities must be examined to understand the nuances and complexity of women’s gender strategies and bargaining power in immigration families. Theoretical implications of the study are also discussed.

The Women’s Art Society of Montreal and Its Place in History, 1894-2019 - Keays, Cathy (Autoédition, 2019)
The Women's Art Society of Montreal (WASM) was founded in 1894 by two Montrealers, Mrs. James H. Peck (nee Mary Alice Skelton) and Mary Martha (May) Phillips, with the goal of integrating women into the art world. This organization was the Montreal branch of the Toronto-based Women’s Art Association until 1907, when it broke away from the mother organization to form its own independent Women’s Art Society of Montreal. In 1938, the Society’s efforts shifted towards entertainment and other branches of the arts, such as theatre, music and studio art. In 1981, the Society officially adopted a French name: l’Association culturelle des femmes de Montréal, but the organization remained essentially an English support group. In 1998 it began to accept men as members. The author traces the local, national and international events that coincided with each year of the WASM's existence.

Neoliberal reform and family engagement in schools: An intersectional gender analysis - Nygreen, Kysa (Policy Futures in Education, 2019)
This article presents an exploration of the work of family engagement in a racially- and linguistically-diverse, high-poverty, urban school district in a state of continuous neoliberal reform. Drawing from qualitative research methods, it is argued that family engagement is being reshaped by the imperatives of educational neoliberalization while, at the same time, remaining out of touch with the needs and concerns of families who are racially stigmatized, linguistically diverse, and experiencing extreme economic insecurity. It is further argued that school personnel charged with family engagement carry out exploited, invisible, and emotional tasks that increase in quantity and intensity as the social safety net declines under neoliberalism. Applying an intersectional gender analysis of emotional labor and the re-privatization of social reproduction offers an illustration of how family engagement in neoliberal schools both exploits and reinforces hierarchies of race–class–gender while obscuring these processes through neoliberal discourses of individual responsibilization. © The Author(s) 2018.

CSR as gendered neocoloniality in the global south - Ozkazanc-Pan, Banu (Journal of Business Ethics, 2019)
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has generally been recognized as corporate pro-social behavior aimed at remediating social issues external to organizations, while political CSR has acknowledged the political nature of such activity beyond social aims. Despite the growth of this literature, there is still little attention given to gender as the starting point for a con- versation on CSR, ethics, and the Global South. Deploying critical insights from feminist work in postcolonial traditions, I outline how MNCs replicate gendered neocolonialist discourses and perpetuate exploitative material dependences between Global North/South through CSR activities. Specifically, I address issues of neocolonial relations, subaltern agency, and ethics in the context of gendered global division of labor through the exemplar of Rana Plaza and its aftermath. In all, I offer new directions for CSR scholarship by attending to the intersections of gender, ethics, and responsibility as they relate to corporate actions in the Global South.

Mothers and mental labor: A phenomenological focus group study of family-related thinking work - Robertson, Lindsey G.; Anderson, Tamara L.; Hall, M. Elizabeth Lewis; Kim, Christina Lee (Psychology of Women Quarterly, 2019)
Le travail mental est une composante peu étudiée et longtemps invisible du travail familial. Les chercheurs ont décrit le travail mental comme important, éprouvant et effectué de manière disproportionnée par les mères par rapport aux pères. Cependant, les définitions opérationnelles utilisées dans ces études n'étaient que préliminaires et manquaient de terminologie unifiée. En réponse aux appels à une vision élargie du travail domestique et à de meilleures définitions de son contenu, nous avons entrepris une enquête phénoménologique sur le travail mental familial effectué par les mères. Notre analyse phénoménologique interprétative de sept entretiens de groupe a produit une définition du travail mental des mères et de ses composantes qui était empiriquement fondée sur l'expérience vécue des mères de jeunes enfants ( N = 25). Distinct des tâches ménagères, de la garde des enfants et du travail émotionnel, le travail mental est apparu comme une activité de réflexion effectuée dans le but d'atteindre des objectifs familiaux. Nous avons identifié six formes de travail mental : (a) la planification et l'élaboration de stratégies, (b) le suivi et l'anticipation des besoins, (c) la métaparentalité, (d) la connaissance (apprentissage et mémorisation), (e) la pensée managériale (y compris la délégation et l'instruction) et (f) l'autorégulation. Toutes les mères participantes se sont présentées comme le principal travailleur mental de leur famille, quel que soit leur statut d'emploi ou le niveau d'implication de leur partenaire. Notre description du travail mental peut aider les parents, les chercheurs, les cliniciens, les décideurs politiques et les éducateurs à reconnaître, à valoriser et à mieux tenir compte de la dynamique du travail mental à l'œuvre dans la construction de la vie familiale, la reproduction des rôles de genre et la perpétuation des écarts entre les sexes dans la division du travail familial et la charge mentale.

Paid–unpaid work continuum of women: Home-based workers and self-employed women in the national capital region - Sengupta, Sudeshna (Indian Journal of Labour Economics, 2019)
Women’s work is a continuum that intersperses productive work with reproductive work, unpaid work with paid work and all kinds of activities with leisure and self-care. She plans, manages and implements her work at home, often being responsible for all the three domains. Women from working-class families may seem to be making a “choice” in deciding the continuum, and delving deep, we find that it is more often a “coping mechanism” in “managing poverty” of all forms—income, time and opportunity. This paper explores how women’s organisation of work is influenced by the interplay of three institutions—State, market and family, and how gendered division of work is reproduced in the process. © 2019, Indian Society of Labour Economics.

‘Cold intimacies’ in parents’ negotiations of work–family practices and parental leave? - Twamley, Katherine (Sociological Review, 2019)
This article aims to assess the contention that a ‘feminist’ ideology is associated with a ‘cooling’ of intimacy in heterosexual relationships, as argued by scholars such as Arlie Hochschild and Eva Illouz. According to this thesis, such an ideology, ‘abducted’ by a commercial spirit, encourages women to disengage from warm intimate bonds with others and to prioritize their own personal fulfilment and parity in care and housework. Drawing on two qualitative empirical studies exploring couples’ intimate lives and their feminist and egalitarian preferences and practices in leave, care and housework, this article examines in detail the basis of this thesis, and its effectiveness in explaining the lived experiences of parent couples’ negotiations of this terrain. The data were collected through focus group discussions with parents not sharing leave and a detailed ethnography with couples sharing leave. The comparison shows that, far from observing a clear dichotomy between ‘cold’ feminists and ‘warm’ traditional couples, both sets of parents present a more complex picture of ‘warm’ and ‘cold’ relations. The analysis enables a critical appreciation of sociological theorizing about gender equality and intimacy, contributing to sociological debates around individualism, feminism and family life. © The Author(s) 2018.

Invisible labor and women’s double binds: Collusive femininity and masculine drinking in Russia - Utrata, Jennifer (Gender and Society, 2019)
The heavy drinking of alcohol remains primarily a hegemonically masculine ritual worldwide. Yet scholarship has undertheorized women’s practices in shaping the boundaries of masculine rituals, including drinking. Drawing on 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork and 151 interviews with single mothers, married mothers, nonresident fathers, and grandmothers from diverse class backgrounds, I demonstrate that Russian women perform extensive invisible management labor in attempting to produce responsible men. Constrained by a starkly unequal gender division of domestic labor, wives and mothers engage in varied “patriarchal bargains” as they shape men’s drinking practices, co-producing hegemonic masculinity. Whereas in the Soviet period women also managed men’s drinking, today new gender strategies have emerged. More women are held accountable to a collusive femininity involving both accommodation and resistance, upholding men’s drinking privileges only if breadwinning occurs. As women perform invisible labor, they end up reproducing the conditions that demand this labor from them in the first place. Some women embrace an alternative femininity by becoming single mothers and refusing to manage men’s drinking, especially when men fail as breadwinners. Theorizing collusive and alternative femininities, as well as women’s invisible labor, advances our knowledge of how multiple femininities shape, and may in time change, hegemonic masculinity. © 2019 by The Author(s).

Delivered by women, led by men: A gender and equity analysis of the global health and social workforce - World Health Organization (Human Resources for Health Observer Series, 2019)
Demographic changes and rising health care demands are projected to drive the creation of 40 million new jobs by 2030 in the global health and social sector. In parallel, there is an estimated shortfall of 18 million health workers, primarily in low- and middle-income countries, required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and universal health coverage. The global mismatch between health worker supply and demand is both a cause for concern and a potential opportunity. Since women account for 70% of the health and social care workforce, gaps in health worker supply will not be closed without addressing the gender dynamics of the health and social workforce. The female health and social care workers who deliver the majority of care in all settings face barriers at work not faced by their male colleagues. This not only undermines their own well-being and livelihoods, it also constrains progress on gender equality and negatively impacts health systems and the delivery of quality care. In November 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the Gender Equity Hub (GEH), co-chaired by WHO and Women in Global Health under the umbrella of the Global Health Workforce Network. The GEH brings together key stakeholders to strengthen gender-transformative policy guidance and implementation capacity for overcoming gender biases and inequalities in the global health and social workforce, in support of the implementation of the Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030, and the Working for Health five-year action plan (2017–2021) of WHO, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In 2018, the GEH identified and reviewed over 170 studies in a literature review of gender and equity in the global health workforce, with a focus on four themes: occupational segregation; decent work free from bias, discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment; gender pay gap; and gender parity in leadership. This report will inform the next phase of the work of the Global Health Workforce Network GEH, which seeks to use these research findings to advocate gender-transformative policy and action.

Challenging gender equality in South African transformation policies - a case of the White Paper: A programme for the transformation of higher education - Akala, Betty M. (South African Journal of Higher Education, 2018)
Using a post-structural lens, I make arguments against homogenising people’s conditions and circumstances. In particular, I acknowledge that the post-1994 reform agenda intended to streamline the previously fragmented and segregated higher education landscape under the apartheid regime. Black women, who are the main target of this article suffered triple marginalisation ‒ race, social class and sexism. The aim of the article is to show the tensions that exist within the White Paper: A Programme for the Transformation of Higher Education (DoE 1997). The said tensions have stifled the attainment of gender equity and equality; effectively widening the gender fissures in post-1994 South African higher education. I argue that we should not take for granted phrases such as “equal opportunities” and “equal access” in policies. Instead, we should seek their meaning and achievement inter alia in earnest for the targeted group.Therefore, I postulate that gender and gendering is complex and very fragmented. For this reason, formulating transformation interventions on the premise of equality for all does not necessarily guarantee gender equality or gender equity. With this in mind, a “one-size fits all” approach to redressing gender equality is implausible and does not suffice in addressing salient gender injustices. I propose a multifaceted approach, which encompasses a realistic and holistic outlookon the divergent needs of black women in particular and women in general as a possible solution to the current challenges.

The challenges of women leaders of business organizations in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in balancing work-family responsibilities. - Bahiru, Bruktawit; Mengistu, Abeba Beyene (Journal of International Women's Studies, 2018)
Women's leadership significantly contributes to building high-performing organizations. However, challenges with balancing work and family responsibilities are inhibiting them from exerting their fullest potential towards this end. This study aims at investigating the challenges women leaders in Addis Ababa face in balancing the demands of their organizations with that of their families. A sample of eight women leaders of positions from large and middle scale organizations were taken using a purposive sampling technique. In-depth interviews were used to gather information for the study, and a phenomenological qualitative study was applied to analyze the data. The study identified some organizational, societal, and individual factors that challenge women leaders in balancing their work and family responsibilities. Work overload, cultural and social norms, family responsibilities, and upbringing related behaviors of the interviewees themselves were among the major challenges in maintaining their work-family balance. This study contributes insights into work-family balance theory and practice, by presenting women leaders' voices about their work-life challenges as expressed in their own words, from their own testimonies. It indicates that much needs to be done on the part of organizations, society, family, and women themselves for women leaders to have the desired level of work-family balance.

Jazz, gender, historiography: A case study of the "Golden Age" of jazz in Montreal (1925-1955) - Blais-Tremblay, Vanessa (Université McGill, 2018)
Cette dissertation se penche sur les interactions entre le jazz, l'identité, la nation et la modernité durant le soi-disant âge d'or du jazz à Montréal (1925-1955). À la croisée de la musicologie, des études de la condition féminine (études féministes noires et méthodes de recherche féministes en particulier), des études des médias et des études culturelles, je propose une réécriture critique de l'histoire du jazz montréalais, attentive au rôle que les femmes racisées et ethnicisées ont joué dans le développement de la scène jazz, et plus largement dans la formation des identités, des plaisirs, et des sons de la modernité québécoise. Le statut particulier de Montréal comme ville-spectacle en fait un riche laboratoire pour étudier les relations de collaboration créative entre les artistes (musiciens.ennes, chanteurs.euses, danseurs.euses) actifs sur le circuit du spectacle de variété noir du début du XXe siècle. Cette recherche met également en lumière la relation discursive qu'entretiennent le jazz et le vice dans l'entre-deux-guerres québécois, en particulier quant à l'incarnation sexuée et racisée de la moralité. Finalement, cette dissertation présente la première écoute critique ainsi que les premières notes biographiques détaillées d'artistes féminines de jazz montréalaises telles que les pianistes Vera Guilaroff et Ilene Bourne, des ensembles féminins comme les Sœurs Spencer et le Montreal Melody Girls Orchestra, des danseuses et chanteuses de variété noires telles que Tina Baines Brereton, Bernice Jordan Whims, Mary Brown, Natalie Ramirez, et Marie-Claire Germain, ainsi que l'enseignante de piano Daisy Peterson Sweeney et les enseignantes de danse Ethel Bruneau et Olga Spencer Foderingham.

“I can never be too comfortable”: Race, gender, and emotion at the Hospital Bedside - Cottingham, Marci D.; Johnson, Austin H.; Erickson, Rebecca J. (Qualitative Health Research, 2018)
In this article, we examine how race and gender shape nurses’ emotion practice. Based on audio diaries collected from 48 nurses within two Midwestern hospital systems in the United States, we illustrate the disproportionate emotional labor that emerges among women nurses of color in the white institutional space of American health care. In this environment, women of color experience an emotional double shift as a result of negotiating patient, coworker, and supervisor interactions. In confronting racist encounters, nurses of color in our sample experience additional job-related stress, must perform disproportionate amounts of emotional labor, and experience depleted emotional resources that negatively influence patient care. Methodologically, the study extends prior research by using audio diaries collected from a racially diverse sample to capture emotion as a situationally emergent and complex feature of nursing practice. We also extend research on nursing by tracing both the sources and consequences of unequal emotion practices for nurse well-being and patient care.

Against the odds? Keeping a nontraditional division of domestic work after first parenthood in Spain. - Dominguez-Folgueras, Marta; Jurado-Guerrero, Teresa; Botía-Morillas, Carmen (Journal of Family Issues, 2018)
This article analyzes changes in the division of routine domestic work after first parenthood. We wanted to know whether and how it was possible for couples to resist the trend toward traditionalization that has been shown in the literature. To do so, we analyze semistructured interviews with 27 Spanish couples who were expecting their first child in 2011 and interviewed them again in 2013. The couples were selected from a bigger sample because of their nontraditional practices preparenthood. Our results show that 17 of them were able to maintain a nontraditional division of domestic work, whereas 10 traditionalized. In our analysis, relative resources and time availability did not sufficiently explain the changes in the division of work, but specific characteristics of the division of work before childbirth—men’s active participation, the routinization of tasks, and flexible standards—emerged as key factors to resist the trend toward more traditional arrangements. © 2017, © The Author(s) 2017.
