Making Feminist Politics

Transnational Alliances Between Women and Labor

By: Suzanne Franzway,Mary Margaret Fonow

In this timely and detailed examination of the intersections of feminism, labor politics, and global studies, Suzanne Franzway and Mary Margaret Fonow reveal the ways in which women across the world are transforming labor unions in the contemporary era. Situating specific case studies within broad feminist topics, Franzway and Fonow concentrate on union feminists mobilizing at multiple sites, issues of wages and equity, child care campaigns, work-life balance, and queer organizing, demonstrating how unions around the world are broadening their focuses from contractual details to empowerment and family and feminist issues. By connecting the diversity of women's experiences around the world both inside and outside the home and highlighting the innovative ways women workers attain their common goals, Making Feminist Politics lays the groundwork for recognition of the total individual in the future of feminist politics within global union movements. --Publisher description.

Challenging Knowledge, Sex and Power

Gender, Work and Engineering

By: Julie E. Mills,Suzanne Franzway,Judith Gill,Rhonda Sharp

Women in the developed world expect to work in the labour force over the course of their lives. On finishing school more girls are entering universities and undertaking professional training for careers than ever before. Males and females enter many high status professions in roughly equal numbers. However, engineering stands out as a profession that remains obstinately male dominated. Despite efforts to change, little progress has been made in attracting and retaining women in engineering. This book analyses the outcomes of a decade-long investigation into this phenomenon, framed by two questions: Why are there so few women in engineering? And why is this so difficult to change? The study includes data from two major surveys, accounts from female engineers in a range of locations and engineering fields, and case studies of three large engineering corporations. The authors explore the history and politics of several organisations related to women in engineering, and conclude with an analysis of a range of campaigns that have been waged to address the issue of women’s minority status in engineering. Challenging Knowledge, Sex and Power will be of great interest to students of feminist economics, and is also relevant to researchers in women’s studies and engineering education.

The Sexual Politics of Gendered Violence and Women's Citizenship

By: Suzanne Franzway,Nicole Moulding,Sarah Wendt,Carole Zufferey,Donna Chung

The challenge of violence against women should be recognised as an issue for the state, citizenship and the whole community. This book examines how responses by the state sanction violence against women and shape a woman’s citizenship long after she has escaped from a violent partner. Drawing from a long-term study of women’s lives in Australia, including before and after a relationship with a violent partner, it investigates the effects of intimate partner violence on aspects of everyday life including housing, employment, mental health and social participation. The book contributes to theoretical explanations of violence against women by reframing it through the lens of sexual politics. Finally, it offers critical insights for the development of social policy and practice.

Sexual Politics and Greedy Institutions

Union Women, Commitments and Conflicts in Public and Private

By: Suzanne Franzway

Exploration of the challenges and conflicts women face with regard to participation in unions and other labour institutions. Highlights the paradox that trade unions, along with other agents of social improvement, demand a level of commitment that precludes many people (particularly women) from being involved. Contends that this practice makes it difficult for women to contribute to the institutions that are supposed to be in place to protect their rights. Includes notes, references and index. Author is Senior Lecturer and member of the Research Centre for Gender Studies at the University of South Australia and previously wrote 'Staking a Claim: Feminism, Bureaucracy and the State'.
