Download or read book Violent Women in Contemporary Theatres written by Nancy Taylor Porter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the fields of theatre, gender studies, and psychology/sociology in order to explore the relationships between what happens when women engage in violence, how the events and their reception intercept with cultural understandings of gender, how plays thoughtfully depict this topic, and how their productions impact audiences. Truthful portrayals force consideration of both the startling reality of women's violence — not how it's been sensationalized or demonized or sexualized, but how it is — and what parameters, what possibilities, should exist for its enactment in life and live theatre. These women appear in a wide array of contexts: they are mothers, daughters, lovers, streetfighters, boxers, soldiers, and dominatrixes. Who they are and why they choose to use violence varies dramatically. They stage resistance and challenge normative expectations for women. This fascinating and balanced study will appeal to anyone interested in gender/feminism issues and theatre.

Download or read book Gender Inequality in Sports written by Kirstin Cronn-Mills and published by Twenty-First Century Books TM. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We trained just as hard and we have just as much love for our sport. We deserve to play just as much as any other athlete. . . . I am sick and tired of being treated like I am second rate. I plan on standing up for what is right and fighting for equality.” —Sage Ohlensehlen, Women’s Swim Team Captain at the University of Iowa Fifty years ago, US president Richard Nixon signed Title IX into law, making it illegal for federally funded education programs to discriminate based on sex. The law set into motion a massive boom in girls and women’s sports teams, from kindergarten to the collegiate level. Professional women’s sports grew in turn. Title IX became a massive touchstone in the fight for gender equality. So why do girls and women—including trans and intersex women—continue to face sexist attitudes and unfair rules and regulations in sports? The truth is that the road to equality in sports has been anything but straightforward, and there is still a long way to go. Schools, universities, and professional organizations continue to struggle with addressing unequal pay, discrimination, and sexism in their sports programming. Delve into the history and impact of Title IX, learn more about the athletes at the forefront of the struggle, and explore how additional changes could lead to equality in sports. “Girls are socialized to know . . . that gender roles are already set. Men run the world. Men have the power. Men make the decisions. . . . When these girls are coming out, who are they looking up to telling them that’s not the way it has to be? And where better to do that than in sports?” —Muffet McGraw, Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Notre Dame “Fighting for equal rights and equal opportunities entails risk. It demands you put yourself in harm’s way by calling out injustice when it occurs. Sometimes it’s big things, like a boss making overtly sexist remarks or asserting they won’t hire women. But far more often, it’s little, seemingly innocuous, things . . . that sideline the women whose work you depend on every day. You can use your privilege to help those who don’t have it. It’s really as simple as that.” —Liz Elting, women’s rights advocate

Book excerpt: HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PLACED IN A SITUATION WHERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE BACKED YOU INTO A CORNER WITH NO CLEAR, LOGICAL ESCAPE? Without your immediate escape, the outcome of the predicament could prove to be very detrimental to your immediate or future wellbeing? Do you understand the magnitude of the meaning of historical events that occur in our lives that help shape our character which is essential for achieving the dreams that were meant for us to receive? Such was the case for a young African-American boy- Gregory Hartwell, a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. Gregory was a second generation immigrant of southern-bred parents. He had been provided a solid foundation of values of spirituality, self-reliance, resilience, self-confidence, family loyalty, and the protection of self-convictions. These gifts of values would be paramount in keeping a lifelong journey of misdirected decisions and actions from becoming detrimental in his life. Gregory began to see the Power of 24 remarkable experiences, challenges the lessons in his life which helped shape his character. In his lifetime he'd survived an attempted rape of a sexual predator, overcome the perils of death, drugs and violence that entrap inner-city juvenile delinquents in the streets of America, realized his dream of playing professional baseball. Gregory knew his life journey had encountered an intersection of fate which would forever affect the outcome of his life. Those dynamic events in his history had some significance to achieving his dreams, but what would ultimately unlock the secret?
