"So Long As I Can Read": Farm Women's Reading Experiences In Depression-Era South Dakota, Lisa Lindell
"So Long As I Can Read": Farm Women's Reading Experiences In Depression-Era South Dakota, Lisa Lindell
Lisa R. Lindell
During the Great Depression, with conditions grim, entertainment scarce, and educational opportunities limited, many South Dakota farm women relied on reading to fill emotional, social, and informational needs. To read to any degree, these rural women had to overcome multiple obstacles. Extensive reading (whether books, farm journals, or newspapers) was limited to those who had access to publications and could make time to read. The South Dakota Free Library Commission was valuable in circulating reading materials to the state's rural population. In the 1930s the commission collaborated with the USDA's Extension Service in a popular reading project geared toward South …
Perspective On South Dakota Women In Fine And Traditional Arts, Leda Cempellin
Perspective On South Dakota Women In Fine And Traditional Arts, Leda Cempellin
Leda Cempellin
The steady increase of women’s contribution to the visual arts in South Dakota, especially in recent decades, makes it impossible to celebrate all the individual accomplishments in the space of a chapter. Therefore, the following sections will limit the discourse to a choice of a few significant patterns of contribution to the arts and crafts in South Dakota. To begin, an historical overview of Lakota and European immigrant arts and influence are discussed, including women’s key influences on arts education in the state. Then, the expansion of traditional arts through NEA apprenticeship programming is described through the work of current …

Rethinking Women's And Gender Studies, Gender And Education, Colleen Mcgloin
Colleen McGloin
This compilation of scholarly articles examines the (inter)disciplinary field of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) looking at the genealogy of WGS, its foundational principles, its language and practices. The work considers the use of language, in particular the way certain terminology within the field invites engagement with the political aims of WGS, or limits its potential for more rigorous pedagogical practices and analytic frameworks. Chapters are organised into five sections: ‘foundational assumptions’, ‘ubiquitous descriptions’, ‘epistemologies rethought’, ‘silences and disavowals’, and ‘establishment challenges’. Within these themes, specific terms (among them ‘feminism’, ‘interdisciplinarity’, ‘pedagogy’, ‘intersectionality’, and ‘community’) are examined for their application …

Home Front Ww2: Myths And Realties, Rowan Cahill
Rowan Cahill
This is a revised version of the author's 2014 Brisbane Labour History Association Alex McDonald lecture. In this paper the author takes apart the right-wing accounts, particularly by Hal Colebatch ('Australia's Secret War, 2013), that demonise the Australian trade union leadership and the Communist Party of Australia for 'treasonous' industrial disputation during World War II.

Camden Women Go To War, Ian Willis
Camden Women Go To War, Ian Willis
Ian Willis
In 1943 is was not common for young Camden women to go off to war. One way was to join the Australian Army Medical Women's Service (AAMWS), as did a number of young Camden women. One woman who did this was Jacqueline Crookston, daughter of Camden surgeon, Dr Robert Crookston OBE. She is pictured here at an Australia Field Hospital in New Guinea as part of AAMWS in December 1943.

Culture And Change: Attending To Early Modern Women, Elaine Beilin
Culture And Change: Attending To Early Modern Women, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
This is the fourth in the series of proceedings of the interdisciplinary conference sponsored by the Center for Renaissance & Baroque Studies at the University of Maryland. This volume reflects the commitment of scholars to the exploration of early modern women's culture as recovered through images, literature, music, and archives of the period. In essays on 'Stories,' 'Goods,' 'Faiths,' and 'Pedagogues,' scholars from a wide variety of fields discuss the contributions that reveal early modern women's influence on the societal and cultural transformations in which they participated. Nearly thirty workshops from the conference are summarized, and these offer a detailed …
Silent But For The Word : Tudor Women As Patrons, Translators, And Writers Of Religious Works, Elaine Beilin
Silent But For The Word : Tudor Women As Patrons, Translators, And Writers Of Religious Works, Elaine Beilin
Elaine V. Beilin
Twelve of the fourteen essays in this volume describe much of the lives and works of an extraordinary group of English women who, despite the regime of chastity, silence and obedience imposed on them, managed to engage in particular with contemporary religious debates, through their work as writers, patrons, and especially translators. The translators discussed include Margaret More Roper, Queen Elizabeth I as a young girl, Mary Sidney, the Cooke sisters, and Lady Cary. Some essays focus on the style of individual translators, revealing "deviations" from source texts where the translator's voice, intentionally or unintentionally, shines through. Mary Ellen Lamb …
Improved Iodine Status In Breastfeeding Women Following Mandatory Fortification, Samantha Axford, Karen Charlton, Heather Yeatman, Gary Ma
Improved Iodine Status In Breastfeeding Women Following Mandatory Fortification, Samantha Axford, Karen Charlton, Heather Yeatman, Gary Ma
Karen E. Charlton
Mandatory iodine fortification of salt used in the bread-making process was introduced in Australia in October 2009 at levels to meet the iodine needs of the general Australian population. An iodine supplement of 150 μg each day is recommended to meet the additional needs of pregnancy and lactation.1,2 As the iodine status of pregnant women in Australia has been found to be inadequate,3–5 it can be anticipated that many women commence lactation in an iodine-depleted state. Thus, it is important to determine the iodine status of breastfeeding mothers.

Involving Men In Efforts To End Violence Against Women, Michael Flood
Involving Men In Efforts To End Violence Against Women, Michael Flood
Michael G Flood
Around the world, there are growing efforts to involve boys and men in the prevention of violence against women: as participants in education programs, as targets of social marketing campaigns, as policy makers and gatekeepers, and as activists and advocates. Efforts to prevent violence against girls and women now increasingly take as given that they must engage men. While there are dangers in doing so, there also is a powerful feminist rationale for such work. This article provides a review of the variety of initiatives which engage or address men in order to prevent violence against women. It maps such …
Reshaping Attitudes Toward Violence Against Women, Natalie Taylor, Michael Flood, Bob Pease, Kim Webster
Reshaping Attitudes Toward Violence Against Women, Natalie Taylor, Michael Flood, Bob Pease, Kim Webster
Michael G Flood
Since the early 1970s, when the grassroots women's movement mounted its challenge to rape and domestic violence, there has been a worldwide revolution in societal responses to violence against women. Among the changes, the best known are the proliferation of community-based services for victims and reforms in public policy, law, policing, and health care. What is less well-known is whether the revolution in societal intervention is reflected in how ordinary citizens think about violence against women. However important institutional reforms are in the short term, they are unlikely to be sustained unless the normative climate changes that supports violence against …
Building Men's Commitment To Ending Sexual Violence Against Women, Michael Flood
Building Men's Commitment To Ending Sexual Violence Against Women, Michael Flood
Michael G Flood
Efforts to prevent sexual violence against women and girls now increasingly take as given that they must engage men and boys. The theater-based intervention described in the previous issue of Feminism & Psychology (Rich, 2010) is one of a wave of programmes and strategies focused on males. Using that intervention as a springboard, this article asks : why should we engage men and boys in preventing violence against women, what strategies are under way and do they work? Educational interventions among males often invite them to become active or pro-social bystanders, taking action to stop the perpetration of specific incidents …

江戸時代女性の噂話, Cecilia S. Seigle Ph.D.
江戸時代女性の噂話, Cecilia S. Seigle Ph.D.
Cecilia S Seigle Ph.D.
江戸時代の女性は家庭の主婦としての忙しさからか、残念ながら随筆や見聞記をあまり残していない。江戸時代でも後半にはかなり多くの女性が日記を書いたらしいけれど、男性の見聞酒随筆集に比べると非常に少ない 。 しかし女性は特殊な興味の対象としてうわさ話の種になったので、この本では女性中心のうわさ話を調べてみた。記録された女性の噂話も男性についての噂話に比べれば少ないのだが、全体的には膨大な量である。

Finding A Place For Women In Australian Cultural History: Female Cultural Activism In Sydney, 1900-1940, Jane Hunt
Jane Hunt
With only a few exceptions, the endeavours of culturally active women appear as irrelevant or marginal to the history of Australian culture. Australian cultural historiography dwells on antithetic relationships, whether between cultural-political elites, gendered spaces and practices, or elitist and popular culture. However, this historical preoccupation with dichotomous notions of class, gender, and culture has deflected attention from other aspects of the struggle to define culture. Cultural definitions were far from fixed for most of the first half of the twentieth century in Australia. Negotiations on what constituted appropriate cultural form, content, and practice are apparent inside and outside establishment …
