Presenting a body of seminal and original scholarship, [this volume] is an extraordinary study and highly recommended for both college and university library collections<\/i>.”\u00a0\u00b7 Midwest Book Review<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n <\/b> Autobiographical and Biographical Experiences<\/span><\/p>\n Edited by Shirley Ardener, Fiona Armitage-Woodward, and Lidia Dina Sciama<\/span><\/p>\n “Interesting and timely. Using different research methods to arrive at the story of women involved in war and conflicts adds value to existing feminist research methods.

Recognizing that maternalism is more diverse and nuanced than the simplification initially posed as a critique of the paternalist welfare state, the editors explore ways in which women’s circumstances varied globally during the 20th century through chapters on the US, France, Fascist Italy, the Netherlands, Soviet-era Ukraine, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico…Highly Recommended<\/i>.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Choice<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n <\/b> Women, Migration, and the Diaspora<\/span><\/p>\n Edited by Haci Akman<\/span><\/p>\n “The anthology provides careful analysis based on rich empirical material that illuminates the complexity of the region (and of the migration processes that have occurred in the last thirty years) represented and acted upon as the Nordic…[Its] strength lies in its ability to pose central research questions at the crossroad between the making of the ‘Nordic’ and the original ways through which diasporic\u00a0communities create gendered forms of belonging that transcend the nation-state. This ability to move between the local and the global through original and reflexive methodologies locates the anthology’s work within a broader international scholarship<\/i>.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0Diana Mulinari<\/b>, Center for Gender Studies, University of Lund<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b> Women, Wealth, and Tradition in the Tongan Diaspora<\/span><\/p>\n Ping-Ann Addo\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Volume 4, ASAO Studies in Pacific Anthropology<\/b><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n “The book compellingly demonstrates how women, textile wealth and tradition are enmeshed… [and] adds considerably to the understanding of how material culture works in a contemporary society and how women can bind geographically scattered communities through the movement of these valuable objects, which are the products of female activity.”<\/i><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Pacific Affairs<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n <\/b> Work, Gender, and Popular Culture in France, 1870-1914<\/span><\/p>\n Patricia A.

It aims to transform European women’s and gender history by expanding comparative research on women and gender to all parts of Europe. Girlhood Studies is a peer-reviewed journal providing a forum for the critical discussion of girlhood from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, and for the dissemination of current research and reflections on girls’ lives to a broad, cross-disciplinary audience of scholars, researchers, practitioners in the fields of education, social service and health care and policy makers.
