"Drs. Judith Bachay and Raúl Fernández-Calienes present us with another outstanding volume of narratives that provide a much needed forum to share stories of the global movement of women towards empowerment and the securing of their human rights. Each of the twenty-three chapters' authors share different aspects of the issues and challenges women have or will encounter as they "move forward." The diversity of the stories reflects the diversity of the authors. As examples, Ariela Agosín discus...

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.
