Industrial Restructuring And Women's Homework In Appalachia: Lessons From West Virginia, Ann M. Oberhauser Dec 1992

Industrial Restructuring And Women's Homework In Appalachia: Lessons From West Virginia, Ann M. Oberhauser

Ann Oberhauser

This paper analyzes the relationship between industrial restructuring and women's homework in Appalachia. Since the early 1970s, industrial restructuring in this region has led to substantial job loss in mining and manufacturing industries and increased employment in the service sector. These employment shifts, coupled with Appalachia's long tradition of informal sector activities, make homework a viable income-generating strategy for women. This paper first addresses some of the literature on the geography of gender and industrial restructuring. Second, women's homework is analyzed as an economic strategy in response to industrial restructuring. In the third section, the types and significance of women's …

Tom Robbins' Chink: A Posthumous Zarathustra, Charles S. Taylor Jan 1979

Tom Robbins' Chink: A Posthumous Zarathustra, Charles S. Taylor

This essay was first published by The Enigma Press, the private-press of Earl R. Nitschke, Professor of Printmaking at Central Michigan University in a limited edition.


Erotic "Women’S Songs" In Anglo-Saxon England, Clifford Davidson Dec 1974

Erotic "Women’S Songs" In Anglo-Saxon England, Clifford Davidson

Clifford Davidson

More than a decade ago, Kemp Malone asserted that The Wife's Lament and Wulf and Eadwacer are two surviving examples in Old English of Frauenlieder or, as I shall prefer to call them, "women's songs" Malone's argument, insofar as it applies to The Wife's Lament, has been forcefully challenged by Rudolph C. Bambas and Martin Stevens, both of whom question the assumption that the feminine forms in the poem point to a woman speaker. My paper will not once again sift the linguistic evidence to attempt to argue this matter one way or another, but rather, accepting Malone's belief …
