The collection explores narratives of women - real and fictional - who fight against these barriers, who succumb to them, who remain unaware of them, or choose to ignore them. It explores the ways we read women in cultural production, and how women are read in society. We assert the obstacles constructed into the very fabric of societies against fifty percent of the population are unfair, be they hindrances for women to attain their goals, encumbrances that limit women's speech and societal participation - communal and artistic - or hindrances that prohibit specific behaviors and images of women.Charlotte Perkins GilmanThe Yellow WallpaperHouswifizationSocial ReproductionRachildeLa JongleuseRanda Abdel FatahDoes My Head Look Big in This?EcuadorComicCharlotte WoodThe Natural Way of ThingsAnimal PeopleEcofeministHelen WellsPeril over the AirportMaxine Hong KingstonNo Name WomanMiddle EastFemale LawyersGeschlechterforschungFrauen- und GeschlechterforschungAnglistikCharlotte Perkins GilmanThe Yellow WallpaperHouswifizationSocial ReproductionRachildeLa JongleuseRanda Abdel FatahDoes My Head Look Big in This?EcuadorComicCharlotte WoodThe Natural Way of ThingsAnimal PeopleEcofeministHelen WellsPeril over the AirportMaxine Hong KingstonNo Name WomanMiddle EastFemale LawyersGeschlechterforschungFrauen- und GeschlechterforschungAnglistikLambertsson Björk EvaedtEschenbach JuttaedtWagner Johanna MedtWaxmannWaxmannBOOK9910557517303321Women and Fairness2827148UNINA
