The overwhelming majority of tea practitioners in contemporary Japan are women, but there has been little discussion on their historical role in tea culture (chanoyu). In Cultivating Femininity, Rebecca Corbett writes women back into this history and shows how tea practice for women was understood, articulated, and promoted in the Edo (1603–1868) and Meiji (1868–1912) periods. Viewing chanoyu from the lens of feminist and gender theory, she sheds new light on tea’s undeniable influence on the formation of modern understandings of femininity in Japan. Corbett overturns the iemoto tea school’s carefully constructed orthodox narrative by employing underused primary sources and closely examining existing tea histories. She incorporates Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of social and cultural capital and Norbert Elias’s “civilizing process” to explore the economic and social incentives for women taking part in chanoyu. Although the iemoto system sought to increase its control over every aspect of tea, including book production, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century popular texts aimed specifically at women evidence the spread of tea culture beyond parameters set by the schools. The expansion of chanoyu to new social groups cascaded from commoner men to elite then commoner women. Shifting the focus away from male tea masters complicates the history of tea in Japan and shows how women of different social backgrounds worked within and without traditionally accepted paradigms of tea practice. The direct socioeconomic impact of the spread of tea is ultimately revealed in subsequent advances in women’s labor opportunities and an increase in female social mobility. Through their participation in chanoyu, commoner women were able to blur and lessen the status gap between themselves and women of aristocratic and samurai status. Cultivating Femininity offers a new perspective on the prevalence of tea practice among women in modern Japan. It presents a fresh, much-needed approach, one that will be appreciated by students and scholars of Japanese history, gender, and culture, as well as by tea practitioners.

The impacts of patriarchy have created horrific circumstances in the lives of innumerable women and girls. The internalized objectification and devaluation of the feminine has engendered a need among many female psychotherapy clients for increased psycho-spiritual liberation and autonomy. The feminine principle is an energy that exists in the psyche of all humans and externally in the phenomenal world. Through heuristic methodology and organic inquiry, this thesis explores how the feminine emerged in the author's life to support her process of psycho-spiritual individuation, empowerment, and sovereignty. Psycho-spiritual sovereignty is the ability for a woman to feel valid in her own view of truth, beauty, and goodness within her sense of self. This thesis presents the importance of including the feminine principle within the therapeutic process. It provides a fourfold framework for supporting women in cultivating a relationship with the feminine as a healing agent in psycho-spiritual individuation and empowerment.

"The husband ploughs, the wife transplants, the buffalo harrows." In rural Vietnam, this ancient saying has survived communist revolution, land reforms and the recent rise of market-oriented household farming. And yet, even if this trinity still pictures the ideal essence of farming life, the reality is that urbanization, labour migration and economic change in the Vietnamese countryside are leading to a feminization of farming. This transformation has profound implications not just for the agricultural sector and the individual women themselves but also for fundamental social structures and relations. By exploring in detail the lived reality of rural life in a northern wet-rice village, the author offers important insights into place, work and (not least) what constitutes femininity and masculinity in Vietnam today.

Feminine traits that were once disparaged as weaknesses-such as sensitivity, intuition, and feeling emotional-are reclaimed as powerful strengths that can be embraced as the keys to a happier life for everyone Challenging old and outdated perceptions that feminine traits are weaknesses, The Feminine Revolution revisits those characteristics to show how they are powerful assets that should be embraced rather than maligned. It argues that feminine traits have been mischaracterized as weak, fragile, diminutive, and embittered for too long, and offers a call to arms to redeem them as the superpowers and gifts that they are. The authors, Amy Stanton and Catherine Connors, begin with a brief history of when-and-why these traits were defined as weaknesses, sharing opinions from iconic females including Marianne Williamson and Cindy Crawford. Then they offer a set of feminine principles that challenge current perceptions of feminine traits, while providing women new mindsets to reclaim those traits with confidence. The principles include counterintuitive messages, including: Take things hard. Women feel things deeply, especially the hard stuff-and that's a good thing. Enjoy glamour. Peacocks' bright coloring and garish feathers are part of their survival strategy-similar tactics are part of our happiness strategy. Chit-chat. Women have been derogated for "gossip" for centuries. But what others call gossip, we call social connection. Emote. Never let anyone tell you to not be emotional. Express your enthusiasm, love, affection and warmth. Embrace your domestic side. Don't be ashamed to cultivate the beauty of your home and wrap your arms around friends and family. With an upbeat blend of self-help and fresh analysis, The Feminine Revolution reboots femininity for the modern woman and provides her with the tools to accept and embrace her own authentic nature.

A vibrant, growing, and highly visible set of female identities has emerged in Thailand known as tom and dee. A "tom" (from "tomboy") refers to a masculine woman who is sexually involved with a feminine partner, or "dee" (from "lady"). The patterning of female same-sex relationships into masculine and feminine pairs, coupled with the use of English derived terms to refer to them, is found throughout East and Southeast Asia. Have the forces of capitalism facilitated the dissemination of Western-style gay and lesbian identities throughout the developing world as some theories of transnationalism suggest? Is the emergence of toms and dees over the past twenty-five years a sign that this has occurred in Thailand? Megan Sinnott engages these issues by examining the local culture and historical context of female same-sex eroticism and female masculinity in Thailand. Drawing on a broad spectrum of anthropological literature, Sinnott situates Thai tom and dee subculture within the global trend of increasingly hybridized sexual and gender identities.

'This is so beautifully written I couldn't stop reading. I gained so much valuable information to help me grow.' Christine Colucci, author, public speaker What is feminine energy and how much of it do you have? Or perhaps you believe that you don't have any? Addressed to both men and women who seek their own authenticity and their own definition of what being a man or a woman is, The 10 principles of the Feminine is about discovering what feminine energy is -- beyond any dictionary definition -- and why it's important to honour and cultivate it. Feminine energy is not an attribute of the fairer sex; it is a component of all living things, and its true meaning seems to have been lost somewhere and, with it, people's potential of authentic self-expression. So identifying feminine energy in yourself and others, and connecting to it, is essential for leading a balanced and fulfilling life. If you don't feel fulfilled or seen, then perhaps you aren't in tune with your feminine aspect. The 10 principles outlined in here are meant to guide the reader towards a better understanding and appreciation of the feminine, which beyond everything, represents our inner power and capacity to connect to the eternal and the ethereal, as well as to seek and find true love. This book is therefore a practical guide for integrating the spiritual aspect into our earthly existence, reconciling the feminine with the masculine in an approachable and concise way, without pertaining to a certain spiritual or religious ideology.

With intelligence and humor, Susan Brownmiller explores the history and unspoken rules of the burden of “feminine perfection” What is femininity? How is it measured? What are its demands? How are women meant to dress, look, think, act, feel, and be, according to the mores of society? Susan Brownmiller offers a witty and often pointed critique of the concept of femininity in contemporary culture and throughout history. She explores the demands placed upon women to fit an established mold, examines female stereotypes, and celebrates the hard-won advances in women’s lifestyle and attire. At once profound, revolutionary, empowering, and entertaining, Femininity challenges the accepted female norm while appreciating the women throughout history who have courageously broken free of its constraints.
