In this groundbreaking study, Crista DeLuzio asks how scientific experts conceptualized female adolescence in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Revisiting figures like G. Stanley Hall and Margaret Mead and casting her net across the disciplines of biology, psychology, and anthropology, DeLuzio examines the process by which youthful femininity in America became a contested cultural category.Challenging accepted views that professionals "invented" adolescence during this period to understand the typical experiences of white middle-class boys, DeLuzio shows how early attempts to reconcile that conceptual category with "femininity" not only shaped the social science of young women but also forced child development experts and others to reconsider the idea of adolescence itself. DeLuzio’s provocative work permits a fuller understanding of how adolescence emerged as a "crisis" in female development and offers insight into why female adolescence remains a social and cultural preoccupation even today.

How can information technology (IT) paradigms and design processes be studied from a gender perspective? What does IT design look like when its construction is informed by gender research? Though gender research and computing science seem like two separate worlds, this book proves how inspirational a confrontation and combination of those worlds can be. A deconstructive analysis of advanced fields of computing shows the multiple ways in which software design is gendered and how gendering effects are produced by its use. Concepts and assumptions underlying research and development, along with design tools and IT products, teaching methods and materials are studied. The book not only offers a gender analysis of information society technologies, it also shows practical examples of how IT can be different. A gender perspective on IT design can serve as an eye-opener for what tends to be overlooked and left out. It yields innovative ideas and high quality software systems that may empower a large diversity of users for an active participation in our information society.

Arbeits- und Beschäftigungsverhältnisse befinden sich in einem tief greifenden Umbruch. Er ist nicht zufällig von Tendenzen der Veränderung und Beharrung im Geschlechterverhältnis durchzogen. Diese gesellschaftlichen Bewegungen fordern die Arbeits- und die Geschlechterforschung doppelt: in ihren Theorien, Perspektiven und Diagnosen und in ihrem Verhältnis zueinander. Mit Blick auf die Beschäftigungsverhältnisse in der globalen Ökonomie, die Entwicklung von Dienstleistungsarbeit, die Flexibilisierung gesellschaftlicher und individueller Arbeits- und Geschlechterarrangements und die Zukunft der Arbeitsgesellschaft treten namhafte VertreterInnen der Arbeits- und Geschlechterforschung miteinander in den Dialog. Es schreiben Regina Becker-Schmidt, Klaus Dörre, Wolfgang Dunkel und Margit Weihrich, Stefanie Ernst, Ute Luise Fischer, Michael Frey, Nick Kratzer und Dieter Sauer, Ingrid Kurz-Scherf, Ilse Lenz, Boy Lüthje, Hildegard M. Nickel, Birgit Riegraf, Hedwig Rudolph, Brigitte Schulze, G. Günter Voß, Sylvia M. Wilz.
