Who "owns" Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)? Is it a mental illness? In 1986, after a year of bitter dispute, the Board of Trustees of the American Psychiatric Association voted to place a premenstrually related diagnosis in an appendix of the revised edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III-R).In her book, Figert explains why the decision was controversial and consequential in three domains in which people, their interests, and claims to ownership coincide: the Health and Mental Health Domain, the Woman Domain, and the Science Domain, each constituted by various players in the controversy. Among those with a stake in the outcome were health care professionals, feminists, women with a history of PMS, journalists, and gynecological researchers.

Women in Late Life explores the thorny issues related to gender and aging, including prevailing but problematic cultural expectations, body image, ageism, the experience of chronic illness, threats to Social Security and the very possibility of a secure retirement while challenging a long-term care system that disadvantages women.

Free Download Paige Whaley Eager, "Waging Gendered Wars: U.S. Military Women in Afghanistan and Iraq "
English | ISBN: 1409448460 | 2014 | 234 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Waging Gendered Wars examines, through the analytical lens of feminist international relations theory, how U.S. military women have impacted and been affected by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although women were barred from serving formally in ground combat positions within the U.S. armed forces during both wars, U.S. female soldiers are being killed in action. By examining how U.S. military women’s agency as soldiers, veterans, and casualties of war affect the planning and execution of war, Whaley Eager assesses the ways in which the global world of international politics and warfare has become localized in the life and death narratives of female service personnel impacted by combat experience, homelessness, military sexual trauma, PTSD, and the deaths of fellow soldiers.

Beyond the Frame Women of Color and Visual Representation

English | September 17, 2005 | ISBN: 1403965331 | 260 pages | PDF | 1.43 Mb
Beyond the Frame explores the importance of visual images in the identities and material conditions of women of color as they relate to social power, oppression, and resistance. The goal of the collection is to rethink the category of visual theory through women of color. It also explores the political and social ramifications of visual imagery for women of color, and the political consciousness that can emerge alongside a critical understanding of the impact of visual imagery. The book begins with a general exploration of what it means to develop a women of color criticism (rather than an analysis of women of color), and goes on to look specifically at topics such as 90s fashion advertisements, the politics of cosmetic surgery, and female fans of East LA rock bands.
