Women and Transition is a step-by-step how-to guide that every woman can learn from.
Women and Language in Transition by Joyce Penfield Pdf
This collection of essays deals with the interplay of language and social change, asking the question: How can language and society be made gender equal? The contributors examine the critical role of language in the lives of white women and women of color in the United States. Since language pervades many dimensions of womens lives, this study takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the issues considered. The volume is divided into three sections. The first, Liberating Language, focuses on the active role women had in altering the extent of linguistic sexism in English during the 1970s. A second section, Identity Creation, deals with the alteration of that portion of language which serves to name women and their experiences. The final section, Women of Color, offers a rare and timely look at the particular problems confronted by minority women. It argues that women of color have different problems and different links to language than white middle-class women.

American Women in Transition by Suzanne M. Bianchi,Daphne Spain Pdf
This is the first in a series of eighteen projected volumes, to be published over the next two years, aimed at converting the vast statistical yield of the 1980 Census into authoritative analyses of major changes and trends in American life. A collaborative research effort, funded by public and private foundations, this series revives a tradition of independent Census analysis (the last such project was undertaken in 1960) and offers an unparalleled array of studies on various ethnic, geographic, and status dimensions of the U.S. population. It is entirely appropriate that the inaugural volume in this series should document trends in the status of American women. Dramatic social and demographic changes over the past two decades make American Women in Transition a landmark, an invaluable one-volume summary and assessment of women's move from the private domain to the public. Clearly and in detail, the authors describe women's increasing educational attainment and labor force participation, their lagging earning power, their continued commitment to marriage and family, and the "balancing act" necessitated by this overlap of roles. Supplementing 1980 Census data with even more recent surveys from the Census Bureau and other federal agencies, Bianchi and Spain are able to extend these trends into the 1980s and sketch the complex challenges posed by such lasting and historic changes. This definitive and sensitive study is certain to become a standard reference work on American women today, and an essential foundation for future scholarship and policy concerning the status of women in our society.

Women in Transition by Ingrid Sandole-Staroste Pdf
As the transition from state socialism to capitalism takes place in various parts of the world, the everyday experiences of those individuals who are primarily affected by the drastic changes are often overlooked. Here, the authentic voices of 52 East German women who lived under state socialism and under the current reunified capitalist system are presented and examined in an effort to underscore the complexity of the transition on the most personal level. East German women, the author asserts, have had to shift their identities, expectations, and actions from accommodating one type of patriarchy to another, experiencing less gender equality in their everyday lives under capitalism than under state socialism. The author concludes that the women of East Germany, and possibly other post-communist states in general, are worse off, having regressed to fit into a more primitive form of patriarchy. At the end of the Cold War, East German women's private lives and emotional capacities took on vital public significance, as ruling elites expected women to make significant contributions to the political and economic stability of the reunited country. To accomplish this stability, the social roles and spaces of East German women had to be redefined to fit into the West German model. Through the voices of these women, the author shows that they fared better in some respects under the old socialist system and that they were now subjected to new, and much more traditional, gender roles even as they were expected to work and advance within the more patriarchal system. By presenting and analyzing the thoughts and perceptions of these women, the author illustrates how they have resisted, to various degrees, complying with the demands made by the newly established institutions, which require them to relinquish the crucial part of their identity that was shaped by socialist norms and values.
Women in Travail and Transition by Maxine Glaz,Jeanne Stevenson Moessner Pdf
Greater knowledge of women's experience, this book argues, will enable all caregivers-whether female or male-to provide better pastoral care when the gender-specific presuppositions of that care are examined. Nine women collaborate to explore how women's life experience both necessitates and models a new, systematic pastoral care. It is the first book to address the broad range of women's pastoral care needs.

Asian Women in Transition by Sylvia A. Chipp,Justin J. Green Pdf
The changing roles and status of women in Asia are examined cross-culturally in this book, in an interdisciplinary perspective. Combining a geographical and a topical organization, the volume gives a cross section of developments among Asian women: in aspirations, in economic and political involvement, and in family and community activity. Based on field research, the contributions to this volume bring together the perspectives of political science, anthropology, sociology, and economics. The varied cultural and ideological contexts of Asian countries--including Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholic Christianity, and the thought of Mao Tse-tung are considered comparatively. Among the nations discussed are mainland China, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Methodological challenges and opportunities are addressed: for instance, distinguishing between real and merely apparent change, avoiding fixation on female "stars" whose upper-class cosmopolitanism is quite atypical, and reading between the lines of official handouts. Each chapter of the book suggests topics for further research and sources for further reading. The necessity of women's full participation in national development has been recognized in UN-sponsored conferences in Bangkok (1957), Manila (1966), and Mexico City (1975). A growing number of college and university courses deal with the information and issues presented in this book.
