The Women’s Liberation Movement (WLM) of the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s emerged out of a particular set of economic and social circumstances in which women were unequally treated in the home, the workplace and in culture and wider society. As part of the WLM, women collected together in disparate groups and contexts to express their dissatisfaction with their role and position in society, making their concerns apparent through consciousness-raising and activism. This important time in women’s history is revisited in this collection, which looks afresh at the diversity of the movement and the ways in which feminism of the time might be reconsidered and historicised. The contributions here cover a range of important issues, including feminist art, local activism, class distinction, racial politics, perceptions of motherhood, girls’ education, feminist print cultures, the recovery of feminist histories and feminist heritage, and they span personal and political concerns in Britain, Canada and the United States. Each contributor considers the impact of the WLM in a different context, reflecting the variety of issues faced by women and helping us to understand the problems of the second wave. This book broadens our understanding of the impact and the implication of the WLM, explores the dynamism of women’s activism and radicalism, and acknowledges the significance of this movement to ongoing contemporary feminisms. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women’s History Review.

The military rule of General Zia ul-Haq, former President of Pakistan, had significant political repercussions for the country. Islamization policies were far more pronounced and control over women became the key marker of the state's adherence to religious norms. Women's rights activists mobilized as a result, campaigning to reverse oppressive policies and redefine the relationship between state, society and Islam. Their calls for a liberal democracy led them to be targeted and suppressed. This book is a history of the modern women's movement in Pakistan. The research is based on documents from the Women's Action Forum archives, court judgments on relevant cases, as well as interviews with activists, lawyers and judges and analysis of newspapers and magazines. Ayesha Khan argues that the demand for a secular state and resistance to Islamization should not be misunderstood as Pakistani women sympathizing with a western agenda. Rather, their work is a crucial contribution to the evolution of the Pakistani state. The book outlines the discriminatory laws and policies that triggered domestic and international outcry, landmark cases of sexual violence that rallied women activists together and the important breakthroughs that enhanced women's rights. At a time when the women's movement in Pakistan is in danger of shrinking, this book highlights its historic significance and its continued relevance today.

Gewerkschaftlich engagierte Frauen, die sich der Arbeiterbewegung und den Frauenrechten verpflichtet fühlten, saßen historisch zwischen vielen Stühlen, und verkörpern geradezu paradigmatisch die, ‚alte‘ Arbeiterbewegung. Dieser Beitrag der Buchreihe "re:work. Arbeit Global - Historische Rundgänge" schreibt die Geschichte der Fraueninternationale des Internationalen Gewerkschaftsbundes (Amsterdam International) in die neue Globalgeschichte der Arbeit ein.

Die Geschlechtergeschichte ist aus der historischen Forschung und Lehre nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sie verdankt viele Anregungen der Sozialgeschichte, hat sich aber auch neueren Entwicklungen, etwa der Historischen Anthropologie und der Neuen Kulturgeschichte, geöffnet und die dort geführten Diskussionen mit geprägt. Claudia Opitz- Belakhal legt in diesem Band den Fokus auf die Debatten um Konzepte und Methoden der Geschlechtergeschichte, auf die Auseinandersetzungen um die Kategorie "Geschlecht" sowie auf die Geschichte der Geschlechterrollen und der Sexualität. "Eine Einführung in die Geschlechtergeschichte (...), die nicht nur EinsteigerInnen Orientierung gibt, sondern auch für diejenigen, die Geschlechterforschung betreiben, neue Einblicke in bzw. Sichtweisen auf die feministischen Debatten der letzten drei Jahrzehnte vermittelt." Zeitschrift für Sexualforschung

In the autumn of 1992, two young women students at Melbourne University went to the police claiming that they had been indecently assaulted at a party. The man they accused was the head of their co-ed residential college. The shock of these charges split the community and painfully focused the debate about sex and power. 'This is writing of great boldness and it will wring the heart... an intense, eloquent and enthralling work...' - AUSTRALIAN 'This was never going to be an easy book to write, its pages are bathed in anguish and self-doubt, but suffused also with a white-hot anger...' - GOOD WEEKEND 'Travelling with Garner along the complex paths of this sad story is, strangely enough, enjoyable. The First Stone [is] a book worth reading for its writing...' - SYDNEY MORNING HERALD '... Garner has ensured one thing: the debate about sexual harassment... will now have a very public airing. And it will have it in the language of experience to which all women and men have access...' - AGE
