L’evidenza scritta e materiale sulle donne dell’alto medioevo presenta una importante caratteristica di fondo: la descrizione delle azioni femminili non è normalmente il prodotto della percezione delle donne, né appare organizzata e prodotta per fornire una rappresentazione diretta dell’operato, delle capacità e delle caratteristiche femminili in termini reali. Piuttosto, sia sotto il profilo materiale, sia sotto il profilo scritto, le donne sono utilizzate - dal loro gruppo parentale, dagli avversari oppure dai sostenitori dei loro congiunti - come paradigmi simbolicamente efficaci per far apprezzare le possibilità economiche e di prestigio dei gruppi famigliari, i meriti e gli errori dei loro uomini, il clima politico di un regno. Si rafforza quindi, nella società altomedievale, il tema retorico dell’ “influenza femminile” per spiegare, in modo diretto e persuasivo, la consonanza o la dissonanza con il clima politico complessivo. Come tali, dunque, i modelli di rappresentazione femminile, di volta in volta utilizzati, non sono semplici ripetizioni. Essi variano nel corso del tempo, precisamente in rapporto con la trasformazione dei valori condivisi dalle società altomedievali, e con le reali possibilità femminili che sono progressivamente accettate oppure disapprovate, misconosciute oppure valorizzate. Le immagini della regina buona che converte il proprio marito al cristianesimo e della regina perfida che lo tradisce, così come i ricchi corredi funerari e le iscrizioni femminili rappresentano lo specchio attraverso cui la società altomedievale valutava sé stessa, le proprie tensioni e le proprie certezze.

Kenyan women are making a large - although frequently unseen - contribution to the country's economy, particularly in the agricultural and informal business sectors. But women face more severe legal, regulatory, and administrative barriers to starting and running businesses than do their male counterparts. Gender and Economic Growth in Kenya examines the barriers that are preventing women from contributing fully to the Kenyan economy and makes recommendations for addressing these barriers. Addressing these constraints will not only help women make a full economic contribution, but will also im

To retrace the history of women's words taken or given, their presence and their influence at different times of our history, in French-speaking literary and journalistic discourse, in works of revelation. As dictionaries and encyclopedias are together, we have brought together various perspectives from specialists from different countries and different scientific backgrounds. How do women fit into the definition of a language standard and into linguistic creation? What are the words that describe them or that they are addressed? Which female figures are there? emerge from the various works analyzed, vectors of our cultures and societies? From the mistress or the foreigner, the intellectual or the whore, the worker or the woman of power, different facets of women, exposed or shouted out; es in their intentions or their intimacies, offer a dynamic vision of the female condition.

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.

"The central aim of this interdisciplinary book is to make visible the intentionality behind the 'forgetting' of European women's contributions during the period between the two world wars in the context of politics, culture and society. It also seeks to record and analyse women's agency in the construction and reconstruction of Europe and its nation states after the First World War, and thus to articulate ways in which the writing of women's history necessarily entails the rewriting of everyone's history. By showing that the erasure of women's texts from literary and cultural history was not accidental but was ideologically motivated, the essays explicitly and implicitly contribute to debates surrounding canon formation. Other important topics are women's political activism during the period, antifascism, the contributions made by female journalists, the politics of literary production, genre, women's relationship with and contributions to the avant-garde, women's professional lives, and women's involvement in voluntary associations. In bringing together the work of scholars whose fields of expertise are diverse but whose interests converge on the inter-war period, the volume invites readers to make connections and comparisons across the whole spectrum of women's political, social, and cultural activities throughout Europe."--Provided by publisher.
