The first large-scale empirical analysis of the gender gap in science, showing how the structure of scientific labor and rewards—publications, citations, funding—systematically obstructs women's career advancement.If current trends continue, women and men will be equally represented in the field of biology in 2069. In physics, math, and engineering, women should not expect to reach parity for more than a century. The gender gap in science and technology is narrowing, but at a decidedly unimpressive pace. And even if parity is achievable, what about equity?Equity for Women in Science, the first large-scale empirical analysis of the global gender gap in science, provides strong evidence that the structures of scientific production and reward impede women's career advancement. To make their case, Cassidy R. Sugimoto and Vincent Larivière have conducted scientometric analyses using millions of published papers across disciplines. The data show that women are systematically denied the chief currencies of scientific credit: publications and citations. The rising tide of collaboration only exacerbates disparities, with women unlikely to land coveted leadership positions or gain access to global networks. The findings are unequivocal: when published, men are positioned as key contributors and women are relegated to low-visibility technical roles. The intersecting disparities in labor, reward, and resources contribute to cumulative disadvantages for the advancement of women in science.Alongside their eye-opening analyses, Sugimoto and Larivière offer solutions. The data themselves point the way, showing where existing institutions fall short. A fair and equitable research ecosystem is possible, but the scientific community must first disrupt its own pervasive patterns of gatekeeping.

La historia de la mujer que buscó justicia en una botella de gasolina El 17 de octubre de 1998, el Pincelito, un hombre de sesenta y dos años, violó a Verónica, una niña de trece, en la localidad alicantina de Benejúzar. Seis años más tarde, cuando el Pincelito gozaba de un permiso penitenciario, Mari Carmen, la madre de Verónica, se cruzó con él por el pueblo, le prendió fuego y le causó la muerte. Este libro reconstruye los entresijos de aquella historia real y explora sus múltiples recovecos. Pero Gema Peñalosa no se detiene en este caso concreto, sino que además se interroga por los mecanismos sociales que posibilitan que las mujeres sigan sometidas a tanta violencia sexual. SOBRE LA AUTORANació en Aracena (Huelva) en 1980, pero se trasladó a Alicante cuando tenía seis años. Durante su infancia se le quedaron grabados algunos casos célebres de violencia contra las mujeres, como el asesinato de la niña onubense Ana María Jerez Cano, en 1991, o el crimen de las niñas de Alcàsser, al año siguiente. Desde entonces, no ha dejado de preguntarse por qué aquellos casos la dejaron tan marcada y cómo reaccionó la sociedad ante ellos. Es muy probable que este tipo de preguntas expliquen por qué acabó dedicándose al periodismo de sucesos y tribunales. Primero, en la Comunidad Valenciana. Y más tarde, en Madrid, donde actualmente cubre la información del Ministerio del Interior para el diario El Mundo. Ha investigado casos como Gürtel, Brugal o el asesinato de la viuda del empresario Vicente Sala.

Original book introduction: Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates shocking root cause of gender inequality and research in Invisible Women†‹, diving into women's lives at home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor's office, and more. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, unforgettable exposé that will change the way you look at the world.

Extending from the belief that masculinities are multiple, consisting of complexities and constructions that make up the traits associated with each, this book explores the various ways in which boys and men are conditioned to view women as inferior to themselves and predominantly sexual objects—and the deleterious effects this has on both women and men, society, and culture at large.Beginning in childhood, the book provides a critical framework to understand one form of masculinity referred to as'bro culture,'and how it is reproduced and reinforced through popular culture, social institutions, and patriarchal forms of religion and politics. Weaving together current research with illuminating historical and contemporary examples, Thomas Keith unpacks the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that constitute this subculture and reveals the ways in which traditional and outdated codes of manhood, power, and gender relations have evolved into problematic forms of sexism, misogyny, and abuse. For as much as popular culture is revealed to be a contributing factor in the passage of bro codes, the book also includes examples of cultural forces that are challenging and seeking to overthrow the core tenets in powerful and lasting ways.Timely and thought-provoking, The Bro Code addresses the implications of an enduring social problem and moves us to reflect on ways to empower men away from this toxic form of masculinity.

Three themes are drawn together in this book: gender and sexuality, the organisation of work, and the impact of technological change. Their inter-relationship is explored in six area studies: manufacturing, banking, retailing, computing, nursing and housework.Gender at Work presents an account of how each area has changed since the Second World War; sets out ways in which the notion of what constitutes'proper'work for men and women changes with new work processes; and analyses the prospects for, and limits of, sexual'equality'in the workplace.Based on the first-hand observations of workers, reflecting on their work experience, this book allows workers to speak for themselves: they reveal the centrality of gender to the way capitalism is organised.'A notable contribution, both to feminist and labour studies in Australia and further afield. Every woman, whether at home or in the paid workforce, should read this book. It will help her assess exactly what she is - and should be - worth to the community, and how she can help to ensure her true evaluation.'- Newcastle Herald'A very readable book which makes a major theoretical and descriptive contribution to the analysis of gender in Australian Society.'- Journal of Industrial Relations'A convincing demonstration of the central place of gender in the work relationships between men and women. The insights it provides, into the underlying causes of the sex division of tasks and the way in which new jobs in any individual setting quickly become sex-typed, are important for any manager of a mixed workplace.'- Practising Manager

This book explores the changing role of Muslim women in the economy in the twenty-first century. Sociological developments such as secular education, female-focused policies, national and global commitments to gender equality as well as contemporary technological advances have all served to shift and redefine the domestic and public roles of Muslim women, leading in many places to increases in workplace participation ​and entrepreneurship. The volume investigates the contexts of these shifts and the experiences of women balancing faith and other commitments to actively engage in the economy in vastly different countries.The book looks at how family codes and the understandings of Muslim male and female roles sit alongside social and economic advances and the increases in women partaking in the economy. ​Within a globalised world, it also highlights the importance of the implementation of the current sustainable development priorities in the context of Muslim societies, including Sustainable Development Goal 5 that focuses on the vital role of women and their full participation in all areas of sustainable development.With cases ranging from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Bangladesh, ​Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Kenya through to Spain, Bulgaria​ and Australia, Muslim Women in the Economy will be of considerable interest to those studying, researching and interested in gender, development and religious studies.

A brilliant, impassioned, unflinching account of the firestorm of #MeToo, how we got there, and where we must now go.In Women, Men, & the Whole Damn Thing, author David Leser presents an essential and incisive investigation that unearths the roots of misogyny, its inextricable links to the patriarchy, and how history brought us to the #MeToo movement and the wave of incandescent female rage sweeping the globe. Crucially, he also interrogates his own psyche, privilege, and culpability as he bears witness to the'collective wound of the world'and how we might move towards healing.This book calls on men (yes, all men) to be accountable for their contribution to the continuing oppression of women by the patriarchal structures that have dominated our culture historically, right through to the present moment. He argues that female oppression is the greatest moral issue of our times and that we are all responsible for dismantling the structures that cause such oppression. This book is one man's journey into how to grapple with both the personal and collective aftermath of #MeToo and the new future that beckons. Including interviews with Tina Brown, Zainab Salbi, Marlene Schiappa, and Helen Garner, among other globally recognized names, Women, Men & the Whole Damn Thing is a bold, honest, and self-searching overview of the cultural moment we find ourselves in.'So timely, connecting and regularly sublime that it feels like it was written as much for my mates and I as it was for my daughters.

A number of recent books, magazines, and television programs have emerged that promise to take viewers inside the exciting world of professional chefs. While media suggest that the occupation is undergoing a transformation, one thing remains clear: being a chef is a decidedly male-dominated job. Over the past six years, the prestigious James Beard Foundation has presented 84 awards for excellence as a chef, but only 19 were given to women. Likewise, Food and Wine magazine has recognized the talent of 110 chefs on its annual “Best New Chef” list since 2000, and to date, only 16 women have been included. How is it that women—the gender most associated with cooking—have lagged behind men in this occupation? Taking the Heat examines how the world of professional chefs is gendered, what conditions have led to this gender segregation, and how women chefs feel about their work in relation to men. Tracing the historical evolution of the profession and analyzing over two thousand examples of chef profiles and restaurant reviews, as well as in-depth interviews with thirty-three women chefs, Deborah A. Harris and Patti Giuffre reveal a great irony between the present realities of the culinary profession and the traditional, cultural associations of cooking and gender. Since occupations filled with women are often culturally and economically devalued, male members exclude women to enhance the job's legitimacy. For women chefs, these professional obstacles and other challenges, such as how to balance work and family, ultimately push some of the women out of the career. Although female chefs may be outsiders in many professional kitchens, the participants in Taking the Heat recount advantages that women chefs offer their workplaces and strengths that Harris and Giuffre argue can help offer women chefs—and women in other male-dominated occupations—opportunities for greater representation within their fields.

Neue Forschungen und theoretische Analysen zu Lebensformen und Biographie junger Frauen belegen die Widersprüchlichkeit der Modernisierung des Geschlechterverhältnisses. Die'Selbstverständlichkeit'der Gleichheit hat Grenzen und unterliegt geschlechtsspezifischen Modifikationen - dies erleben die jungen Frauen aus Ostdeutschland als besonders einschneidend. In diesem Band werden neueste Forschungsergebnisse vorgestellt - zu den widersprüchlichen Erfahrungen und zur Identitätsbildung in der Adoleszenz, - zur Vielfalt der Lebensentwürfe und zur Uneindeutigkeit der Leitbilder, die die Lebensplanung junger Frauen heute prägen, - zu den Orientierungsmustern junger Männer, - zum Facettenreichtum der privaten Lebensformen, - zu den Risiken der biographischen Übergänge und zu den Perspektiven für ein neues Geschlechterverhältnis.

In many countries, the majority of high profile journalists and editors remain male. Although there have been considerable changes in the prospects for women working in the media in the past few decades, women are still noticeably in the minority in the top journalistic roles, despite making up the majority of journalism students. In this book, Suzanne Franks looks at the key issues surrounding female journalists - from on-screen sexism and ageism to the dangers facing female foreign correspondents reporting from war zones. She also analyses the way that the changing digital media have presented both challenges and opportunities for women working in journalism and considers this in an international perspective.. In doing so, this book provides an overview of the ongoing imbalances faced by women in the media and looks at the key issues hindering gender equality in journalism.

This collection explores how Western countries have historically distinguished between categories of migrants—such as labor, refugee, family, and postcolonial migrants. Covering France, the United States, Turkey, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark, the contributors explain how concepts such as “refugee,” “family,” and “difference” have been defined through policy and public debate. Tightly intertwined, these definitions are continuously changing with the economic and geopolitical climate, as well as in relation to migrants'gender, class, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and countries of destination and origin.

Vincent Guillin uses the issue of sexual equality as a prism through which to examine important differences – epistemological, methodological and theoretical – between Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill. He succeeds in showing how their differing conceptions of science and human nature influence and affect their respective approaches to philosophy and to the analysis of female (in)equality in particular. Guillin shines a bright searchlight into long-neglected aspects of both men's thinking – for example, Mill's proposal to construct an ‘ethology', or science of character-formation, and Comte's seemingly bizarre interest in phrenology – and the ways in which these shaped their views of women's intellectual and political capacities. Guillin's wide-ranging study examines both men's major and minor works, their correspondence with one another, and the reasons for the final acrimonious break between two of the nineteenth century's most original and important thinkers.

Adopter une approche sexospécifique, c'est reconnaître que les femmes se situent au point de jonction de la production et de la reproduction, de l'activité économique et de la prise en charge d'êtres humains, et donc, de la croissance économique et du développement humain. Puisqu'elles travaillent dans ces deux sphères, c'est à elles qu'incombent les responsabilités les plus lourdes; ce sont donc elles qui ont le plus à perdre, qui souffrent le plus de l'incompatibilité des contraintes et des objectifs inhérents à ces deux univers, et qui sont le plus sensibilisées à la nécessité d'une meilleure intégration entre les deux. (Gita Sen) S'appuyant sur les résultats de nombreuses études théoriques et empiriques se rapportant au développement, Naila Kabeer expose dans cet ouvrage les raisons pour lesquelles l'égalité entre les genres doit bénéficier d'une attention particulière de la part des instances d'élaboration des politiques, des praticiens, des équipes de recherches et de tous les autres intervenants qui oeuvrent à l'instauration et au maintien d'un développement favorable aux pauvres et centré sur l'être humain. L'indifférence face aux inégalités intergenres dans la répartition des ressources, des responsabilités et du pouvoir dans les processus de l'accumulation économique et de la reproduction sociale a des impacts négatifs très importants non seulement sur les femmes elles-mêmes mais aussi sur leurs enfants, leurs autres personnes à charge et le développement de la société dans son ensemble. Cet ouvrage souligne les liens entre la production et la reproduction dans différentes sociétés, le rôle crucial que les femmes jouent dans ces deux sphères, ainsi que les synergies, les arbitrages et les effets externes négatifs et positifs qui naissent des interactions entre ces deux domaines de l'activité humaine. Dans toutes les régions du monde, les femmes des ménages pauvres sont plus présentes dans les activités qui génèrent des revenus (ou réduisent les dépenses) que celles des ménages mieux nantis. De plus, elles travaillent essentiellement dans l'économie informelle. La corrélation entre la pauvreté du ménage et le travail rémunéré des femmes tend à se renforcer depuis quelques décennies, non seulement à cause de la crise économique et des pressions qui s'exercent en faveur de l'entrée sur le marché du travail, mais aussi parce que les femmes veulent tirer parti des possibilités nouvelles offertes par la mondialisation. La lutte contre la pauvreté et la concrétisation des objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement en passent donc nécessairement par une amélioration de l'accès des femmes aux possibilités économiques ainsi qu'un accroissement du rendement de leur travail.

Women with disabilities are women first, sharing the dreams and disappointments common to women in a male-dominated society. But because society persists in viewing disability as an emblem of passivity and incompetence, disabled women occupy a devalued status in the social hierarchy. This book represents the intersection of the feminist and disability rights perspectives; it analyzes the forces that push disabled women towards the margins of social life, and it considers the resources that enable these women to resist the stereotype. Drawing on law, social science, folklore, literature, psychoanalytic theory, and political activism, this book describes the experience of women with disabilities. The essays consider the impact of social class, race, the age at which disability occurs, and sexual orientation on the disabled woman's self esteem as well as on her life options. The contributors focus their inquiry on the self perceptions of disabled women and ask: From what sources do these women draw positive self images? How do they resist the culture's power to label them as deviant? The essays describe the ways in which disabled women face discrimination in the workplace and the failure of the mainstream women's movement to address their concerns.
