Download or read book Making Girls into Women written by Kathryn R. Kent and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Girls into Women offers an account of the historical emergence of "the lesbian" by looking at late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century women's writing. Kathryn R. Kent proposes that modern lesbian identity in the United States has its roots not just, or even primarily, in sexology and medical literature, but in white, middle-class women’s culture. Kent demonstrates how, as white women's culture shifted more and more from the home to the school, workplace, and boarding house, the boundaries between the public and private spheres began to dissolve. She shows how, within such spaces, women's culture, in attempting to mold girls into proper female citizens, ended up inciting in them other, less normative, desires and identifications, including ones Kent calls "protolesbian" or queer. Kent not only analyzes how texts represent queer erotics, but also theorizes how texts might produce them in readers. She describes the ways postbellum sentimental literature such as that written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, and Emma D. Kelley eroticizes, reacts against, and even, in its own efforts to shape girls’ selves, contributes to the production of queer female identifications and identities. Tracing how these identifications are engaged and critiqued in the early twentieth century, she considers works by Djuna Barnes, Gertrude Stein, Marianne Moore, and Elizabeth Bishop, as well as in the queer subject-forming effects of another modern invention, the Girl Scouts. Making Girls into Women ultimately reveals that modern lesbian identity marks an extension of, rather than a break from, nineteenth-century women’s culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1983, Gender, Class and Education is a collection of papers that formed presentations at the Westhill Sociology of Education Conference in January 1982, and is the fifth such collection to emerge from the annual conference. The conference theme, ‘Race, Class and Gender’, was not only chosen because of its topicality, but also to provide a framework for debate between educational researchers and teachers. The papers focus on the reproduction of gender relations through education and provide important insights into how this process works, how it is resisted in schools and colleges, and the possibilities for radical intervention. This volume includes three teaching bibliographies on gender and education which were not presented at the conference, but were compiled specially for the book.

Download or read book The Working Homemaker written by Charity Gibson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homemaking is about values and priorities rather than job status. It’s time to ditch the notion that women who work outside the home are not homemakers and redefine homemaking as nurturing relationships and cultivating a lifestyle that allows for flourishing within the home (as well as eventually extending beyond). Working Christian mamas can nurture thriving homelives for their families by cultivating relationships, setting healthy routines, and embracing simplicity to practice kingdom living. A woman’s homelife and work life can be molded to honor God, our families, and our employers when homemaking is valued and prioritized. The Working Homemaker encourages countercultural simplicity, relationships, healthy household rhythms, margin in schedules, and, if possible, work flexibility. Homemaking is not just what we do at home but also the choices we make regarding being away from home that allow for our time at home to be lifegiving. Who is this book for? •Working moms •Moms who are considering employment •Working women who are considering motherhood •Anyone else who wants to better understand and support working moms
