Story Sharing

This essay acknowledges the importance of examining the #metoo movement in global, cross-cultural, international contexts as scholars. Yet it also argues for teaching the social media (SM) movement in a grounded historical context as growing out of other moments of women’s liberation movement history in which women came together to tell their story, sharing their personal experiences that led to political action, particularly when teaching the hashtag movement in introductory women and gender studies courses. The author shares her efforts to do so online at a south-eastern technical university in the United States in the Spring of 2019. Not as part of evaluations but as part of a teaching unit within the course, she asked her nearly 50 students, both male and female, to compare and contrast the SM movement to consciousness-raising groups in which women had met face-to-face to share their experiences in an earlier time in movement history. All 300 student posts and reflections posted in the week under examination were scrutinized by the instructor, and their thoughts and conclusions analyzed. In this article, a sample of four is explored.

Sources Of Influence

Chapter 3 discusses the philosophical foundation of the New Women’s theory of chastity by exploring Swedish feminist Ellen Key (1849–1926). Key was one of the major sources of influence for the New Women in the United States, Japan, and Korea, during the 1880s, 1910s and 1920s. Relying on Key’s writings, the New Women formulated their visions of women’s liberation and women’s rights in terms of marriage, sexuality, and love, as well as maternity and child-rearing. The chapter also discusses the transition in Iryŏp’s thought from a feminist activist to an existential thinker to better understand her existential reality by exercising what Iryŏp calls new individualism.

And Migration

Transitional Identities: Women, Art and Migration in Contemporary Israel, translated from the original Hebrew (the name of the translator is not given), focuses on the experiences of three different groups of migrant women artists living in Israel. Dekel, who herself migrated to Israel as a 12-year-old from the United States, is interested in the double perspective that immigrants bring to their lives in the new country: both as outsider and insider, Israeli and/or “other.” Dekel, who lectures both in the department of art history and in the women and gender studies program at Tel Aviv University, has a particular interest in gender and transnationalism in contemporary art and visual culture. Her first book, ...

Collective Thinking

This chapter explores the ASNE's response to civil rights reforms and women's liberation and begins a discussion of how the ASNE's responses to the concerns of nonwhites and white women, which the organization treated as separate matters, exacerbated the division between race and gender, producing tension between the marginalized constituencies and a disparity in the resources accorded to each. It reflects on a time of transition, when the idea of integrating newsrooms and the ASNE had appeared on the horizon and many editors had begun contemplating its distant inevitability. This was not, however, a time of concrete change in the membership's collective thinking about race and gender.

Psychiatric Survivors

This ground-breaking collection represents a significant challenge to psychiatry and is an inspiring collaborative venture between academics, activists, and psychiatric survivors from Canada, England, and the United States. It would be a great text for undergraduate and graduate students in fields like psychology, sociology, social work, disability studies, and women and gender studies. It explores various arguments for opposing psychiatry and can assist those training in mental health professions to raise their health care practice to a higher standard of accountability.
