Hubbard-Hall C: Her Secret Service / B

Her Secret Service

The Forgotten Women of British Intelligence

A fully revised and updated tenth anniversary edition of the book that former Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney says "clearly and eloquently lays out the issues at stake"--from the founder of the ERA Coalition, with an introduction by the women's rights icon Gloria Steinem When the Equal Rights Amendment passed Congress in 1972, Richard Nixon was president, and All in the Family's Archie Bunker was telling his wife Edith to "stifle it." Over the next decade, a groundswell of support led to ratification by thirty-five states--just three short of the thirty-eight needed. With the original publication of Equal Means Equal ten years ago, a new ERA Coalition emerged, uniting the wisdom of veteran activists with the digital savvy and momentum of a new generation. Now, thirty-eight states have ratified the ERA, it has met all the constitutional requirements for an amendment, and Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and Senator Lisa Murkowski have introduced a bipartisan, bicameral resolution; yet, due to a disputed time limit for ratification, it still has not been formally recognized. In this fully revised and updated tenth-anniversary edition, Jessica Neuwirth--founder and former president of the ERA Coalition--explains the current state of the Amendment and lays out the ever greater need for the Amendment through powerful contemporary legal cases and real-world examples. From pay inequity and pregnancy discrimination to violence against women, Neuwirth demonstrates how the lack of constitutional sex equality continues to harm women in the post-Roe era.

The Case for Recognizing the ERA as the 28th Amendment

Equal Means Equal

Preya Bhattacharya offers the first full-length assessment of the impact of microfinance on post-conflict women's empowerment in the Balkans. In so doing, she provides vital new insights into what women's microfinance contributes to macroeconomic development in the former Yugoslavian countries of Macedonia, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo. At the same time, she develops a uniquely clear, concise approach to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), which she uses to make sense of an extensive, exhaustive raw set of available data and research. This methodology not only offers a way of using both micro and macroeconomic data to revisit Amartya Sen's theory of development as freedom, but also provides a framework for other researchers to assess the impacts of microfinance on women's development throughout the world, and particularly in the Global South. For its original focus, its clear and streamlined methodological approach, and its global implications, this book provides a go-to source for researchers, students, and practitioners of international development, gender studies, and economics and finance.

Microfinance and Post-conflict Women's Empowerment in the Balkans

Foundations of Fashion Studies

By the 1940s the New York fashion industry had come into its own. Sportswear, which had evolved from its origins to include simple casual wear for travel, leisure, town and country, was at the centre of this shift. Drawing on an array of sources, this book examines how New York sportswear evolved during the 1930s and 1940s to become the definitive American style. It reveals how designers such as Claire McCardell, Clare Potter and Tina Leser created a fashion identity for New York that was as dynamic and modern as the city itself. Author Rebecca Arnold interrogates the American ideal of athletic, long-limbed women and looks for the first time at how sportswear impacted and was impacted by ideas of patriotism and democracy, as well as its links to notions of cleanliness and hygiene, and to 1930s theories of body image and contemporary dance. As part of the Foundations of Fashion Studies series, this classic text now includes a new foreword by Emma McClendon and a new afterword and further reading list by the author.

The American Look

It's time to shed the beauty myth and find a new freedom.In this powerful and precise book, Saskia Alais examines how we originated harmful beauty ideals and the many ways in which we continue to perpetuate them. Unpicking decades of harmful expectation, confused politics and false empowerment, BOMBSHELL throws a long overdue challenge at the media and beauty industry, exposing the sinister facts that see Western beauty standards affect every aspect of women's lives - from employment and class relations to dating and sexual violence.Featuring the voices of women from all corners of society and interviews with high-profile cultural figures, BOMBSHELL dissects popular contemporary conversation around women and their bodies, ultimately showing how we can detonate the system that does us damage.

Bombshell

Der Mensch hat sich so entwickelt, dass er Arbeit als etwas angenehmes empfindet, und während der ersten 98 % seiner Geschichte wurde Arbeit häufig sogar mit Spiel verglichen. Die heute verbreiteten negativen Vorstellungen von "Arbeit" gehen auf die extreme Ungleichheit und Ausbeutung zurück, die mit der Entstehung staatlicher Herrschaft vor rund 5.500 Jahren einhergingen. Deshalb betrachten viele Menschen Arbeit inzwischen vor allem als Mittel zum Einkommenserwerb und damit zum Konsum, statt als Quelle von Kreativität, Gemeinschaft und Selbstverwirklichung. In Warum wir arbeiten müssen greift Jon D. Wisman auf Erkenntnisse aus Ökonomie, Philosophie, Evolutionspsychologie, Sozialanthropologie und Geschichtswissenschaft zurück, um zu untersuchen, wie Arbeit im Verlauf der Menschheitsgeschichte erlebt und verstanden wurde. Mit Blick auf die Gegenwart weist er auf die Absurdität hin, dass trotz eines beispiellosen Wohlstands manche Menschen arbeitslos sind und die meisten Beschäftigten an ihrem Arbeitsplatz keine echte Freiheit genießen, sondern fremdbestimmt werden. Ebenso widersinnig ist angesichts des vorhandenen Reichtums die extreme Ungleichheit, die weitverbreitete Unsicherheit, Stress und Zukunftspessimismus hervorbringt. Die Laissez-faire-Ideologie rechtfertigt jene politischen Entscheidungen, die diese Ungleichheit und Arbeitsbedingungen hervorbringen, und stellt immer höheren Konsum statt sinnvoller Arbeit als Weg zu mehr Glück dar. Wisman entwirft eine überzeugende Alternative für die Zukunft, die auf zwei Reformen basiert, um Arbeit wieder erfüllend zu machen: eine Beschäftigungsgarantie und Demokratie am Arbeitsplatz. Eine Beschäftigungsgarantie würde Sicherheit schaffen, Armut beseitigen und allen Menschen die gesellschaftliche Anerkennung und Selbstachtung ermöglichen, die mit einer produktiven Rolle in der Gesellschaft einhergehen. Maßnahmen zur Förderung von Eigentum und Mitbestimmung der Beschäftigten in ihren Unternehmen würden Freiheit und Demokratie an den Arbeitsplatz bringen. Beide Reformen stehen im Einklang mit grundlegenden gesellschaftlichen Werten und bewahren zugleich die zwei zentralen Institutionen des Kapitalismus: Privateigentum und Märkte.

The Will to Adorn

Discover the forgotten story of Britain's final bloody battles against Nazi Germany in this Sunday Times top ten bestseller. Based on audio interviews with those who fought their way to victory, Voices of Victory is a compelling and immersive account of a crucial period in the Second World War by the bestselling author of D-Day: The Unheard Tapes. February, 1945. Eight months have passed since the D-Day landings, when the Allies gained their foothold in North-West Europe. Since then the British Army has fought near continuously against the German military. Now, they stand ready for their final test: the battle for the German homeland. Drawing on the sound archive of the Imperial War Museums and other personal accounts, military historian Geraint Jones brings this often-overlooked period of the war vividly to life in the words of British soldiers who were there, from war-weary men who have survived many months of combat to new recruits facing Hitler's fanatics for the first time. In Voices of Victory we join the soldiers battling to break through the Siegfried Line and clear the Reichswald forest, where fighting was from one tree to the next. At the crossing of the Rhine we go into action with the commandos, and jump behind enemy lines with the Paras. We are taken into the horror of Belsen when the concentration camp is liberated, hear from the witnesses of the forgotten battles of April, and end the war deep in Germany, with victory in Europe. 'Enthralling and enlightening . . . A wonderful look into the personal experiences, that heart and soul of the fighting soldier, towards the end of the Second World War' - John Nichol, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Unknown Warrior Voices of Victory was a Sunday Times top ten bestseller w/e 03/05/2025.

Powerful eye-witness accounts of the battle to take Germany, Feb 1945 to VE Day

Voices of Victory

This book investigates the history of the Protestant voting blocs and associations in the Irish border counties of Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan, from 1920 to 2016. While there are many studies on the history of Irish Unionism and Protestantism, there has been a lack of research concerning the political history of the Protestant community in the border counties following partition. Many Protestant Unionists in counties Cavan, Donegal, and Monaghan felt betrayed by their six county counterparts breaking the Ulster Covenant in abandoning a nine-county Northern Ireland. However, the Unionist Associations of these counties evolved after the implementation of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1922 and adapted to their new political environment by becoming ‘Protestant’ Associations. The author seeks to explore how these Associations were established, and how they reacted to political changes during the twentieth century. Arguing that Protestant Associations arose as a Unionist shock response to Ireland’s partition in 1922, the author demonstrates how they aimed to ensure their political representation and the maintaining of Protestant interests. Support for these associations dwindled over time due to demographic change, a decline in membership of the Orange Order, and the gradual erosion of Southern Protestantism as a separate political identity over the course of multiple generations. Shedding light on why these associations lasted until the twenty-first century, and then disbanded, this book examines how former Southern Unionists in the border counties evolved their political identity following partition.

The Memoir of Concha Lombardo de Miramón, 1835–1869

A Feisty Woman

This open access book explores the political utility and consequences of memory laws with a focus on how militant memory laws frame, underpin and generate international conflicts. Proceeding from Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, this examination plots how memory laws have preceded, partially led to, and encouraged the outbreak of the war itself via Russian propaganda. It also offers a broader perspective looking at developments in the Baltic States, Belarus, Finland, Germany, Hungary, and Poland, as well as in European (Council of Europe and European Union) law. Bringing together scholars with diverse perspectives, this book provides both analysis and conceptual reflection for scholars assessing the politics of memory laws. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open Access was funded by the University of Copenhagen.

The Politics of Memory Laws

Trading Women's Rights in Transitions is about how women's rights are traded away by diplomatic actors directly in exchange for immediate political or other settlements, and indirectly in terms of being left off the international agenda with long-term consequences.
