UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
A Civil Society explores the struggle to ini�ate women as full par�cipants in the masonic brotherhood that shared in the rise of France’s civil society and its “civic morality” on behalf of women’s rights. As a vital component of the third sector during France’s moderniza�on, freemasonry empowered women in complex social networks, contribu�ng to a more liberal republic and a more open society.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Examines compe�ng construc�ons of modern manhood in the West African metropolis of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Matlon shows how French colonial legacies and media tropes of Blackness act as powerful axes, roo�ng masculine iden�ty and value within labor, consumerism, and commodifica�on.

Mothers and Midwives in the Rockies and Plains Jennifer J. Hill
A Legal and Policy Analysis Florence Ashley
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
UBC PRESS
Birthing the West shows how mothers and midwives created an informal but dynamic healthcare system in the Rockies and Plains between 1860 and 1940. Over �me, public health en��es usurped their power, with las�ng impacts for women, families, and American iden�ty.
Survivors of conversion prac�ces – interven�ons meant to stop gender transi�on – have likened the process to torture. Ashley rethinks and pushes forward the banning of these prac�ces by surveying these bans in different jurisdic�ons, and addressing key issues around their legal regula�on.

Edited by Christopher Phelps
Shani Orgad & Rosalind Gill
Reveals the extent to which recent events represent a con�nua�on of a long-standing history of the sexualiza�on of exploita�on and violence experienced by the US working class. This book explores how working-class women—from launderers to sales assistants to truck drivers— reframed unwelcome advances as “sexual harassment” and developed strategies of survival, nego�a�on, resistance, and remedia�on.
Examines how impera�ves directed at women to “love your body” and “believe in yourself” imply that psychological blocks hold women back rather than entrenched social injus�ces. Rejec�ng confidence culture’s remaking of feminism along individualis�c and neoliberal lines, this book explores alterna�ve ar�cula�ons of feminism that go beyond the confidence impera�ve.

Queer Racialization in Contemporary Latinidad Laura Grappo
Institutional Constraints and Gendered Outcomes Xin He
This study argues that powerful authori�es and ins�tu�ons exploit the ambiguity of La�nidad in ways that obscure inequali�es in the United States. Grappo draws on case studies and controversies over the racial iden��es of public La�nx figures to show how media ins�tu�ons and state authori�es deploy the ambigui�es of La�nidad in ways that mys�fy the sources of La�nx poli�cal and economic disadvantage.
The only study of Chinese divorce cases based on fieldwork and interviews conducted inside Chinese courtrooms over the course of a decade. Through a socio-legal perspec�ve highligh�ng the richness, sophis�ca�on, and cu�ng-edge nature of the research, this book is as much an account of Chinese courts in ac�on as a social ethnography of China in the midst of momentous social change.

The Uses of Love in Neoliberal China Charlie Yi Zhang
The Lives of Chinese Women Students in the West Fran Martin
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
Explores how young Chinese women nego�ate compe�ng pressures on their iden�ty while studying abroad, between expecta�ons of fulfilling tradi�onal roles as wife and mother versus becoming highly educated and cosmopolitan career-oriented individuals. This book illustrates how emerging forms of gender, class, and mobility fundamentally transform the basis of iden�ty for a whole genera�on of Chinese women.
Examines how the Chinese state deploys affec�ve no�ons of love to regulate the popula�on in order to secure China’s place in the global economy. By outlining how state-framed forms of love create desires they cannot fulfill, Zhang places China at the forefront of using affec�ve a�achments to na�on, leader, and family in the global shi�s toward exploita�on and authoritarianism.

Feminism's Empire inves�gates the complex rela�onships between imperialisms and feminisms in the late-nineteenth century and demonstrates the challenge of conceptualizing "pro-imperialist" and "an�-imperialist" as binary posi�ons. By intellectually and spa�ally tracing the era's first French feminists' engagement with empire, Carolyn J. Eichner explores how feminists opposed—yet employed— approaches to empire in wri�ng, speaking, and publishing.
What happens if we read nineteenth-century and Victorian texts not for the autonomous liberal subject, but for singularity—for what is par�al, con�ngent, and in rela�on, rather than what is merely "alone"? Feminine Singularity offers a powerful feminist theory of the subject— and shows us paths to thinking subjec�vity, race, and gender anew in literature and in our wider social world.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
Hatred of Sex links Jacques Rancière’s poli�cal philosophy of the cons�tu�ve disorder of democracy with Jean Laplanche’s iden�fica�on of a fundamental perturba�on at the heart of human sexuality. Sex is hated as well as desired, the authors contend, because sexual intensity impedes coherent sel�ood and undermines iden�ty, rendering us all a li�le more deplorable than we might wish.
Girl Archaeologist recounts Alice Kehoe’s life, begun in an era very different from the twentyfirst century in which she re�red as an honored elder archaeologist. Kehoe tells the story of how one woman pursued a professional career in a male-dominated field during a �me of great change in American middle-class expecta�ons for women.

By sharing the stories of sex workers, clients, and managers within the larger legal system—meant to provide dignity and safety through regula�on— Staiger skillfully frames the economic aspects of commercial sex work and addresses important ques�ons about sexual labor, in�macy, and rela�onships.
Explores how 1970s feminists took up the figure of the lesbian in broad a�empts to reimagine gender and sexuality by studying feminist film, video, and science fic�on literature. Throughout, Samer embraces the perpetual reimagina�on of “lesbian” and the lesbian’s former futures for the sake of con�nued, radical world-building. 5

Brings together scholars, ar�sts, and ac�vists working at the intersec�ons of queer theory, cri�cal race studies, and radical movements to consider prison aboli�on as a project of queer libera�on and queer libera�on as an aboli�onist project.

Rare Merit surveys the lives and photographs of nearly eighty women in the century following photography’s inven�on. Presen�ng the excep�onal range and impact of their work, Colleen Skidmore proves that women’s prac�ces and images – knowingly omi�ed from founding narra�ves of photographic history – were diverse, compelling, widespread, and influen�al.

Many transgender people find themselves in the bizarre situa�on of having different sex classifica�ons on different documents. This book reveals the hidden logics that have governed sex classifica�on policies in the United States and shows what the regula�on of transgender iden�ty can tell us about society’s approach to sex and gender writ large.

Explores the figure of the sissy as central to how Americans have imagined, ar�culated, and nego�ated black masculinity from the 1880s to the present. Ross shows how sissiness cons�tutes a historically fluid range of gender prac�ces that is expressed as a physical manifesta�on, discursive epithet, social iden�ty, and poli�cal phenomenon.

This book recreates twenty days in April 1970 when a then-illegal strike by Minneapolis’s public school teachers marked a singular moment of cultural upheaval—and forever changed the city’s poli�cs, labor law, educa�onal climate, and the right to collec�ve bargaining.
On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out on the eighth floor of the Asch Building in Greenwich Village, New York, killing 146 workers of the Triangle Waist Company in a mere 15 minutes. The contributors ar�culate in�mate accounts of the factory-worker tragedy that shaped American labor rights.

Fischer connects media coverage with state regula�on of transgender people to show how, despite their increased visibility in na�onal discourse, dominant representa�ons of trans people as decep�ve, deviant, and threatening are used to jus�fy, even normalize, state-sanc�oned violence against transgender communi�es.
The authors bring a novel perspec�ve to building worker power and what labor organizing could look like in the future, sugges�ng ways to evolve collec�ve bargaining to match the needs of modern people. 9

Resistance and Revolution in Women's Body Hair Politics Breanne Fahs
Edited by Heike Bauer, Melina Pappademos, Katie Sutton & Jennifer Tucker DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESS
Contributors to this special issue study the visual histories of sex by examining symbols, images, film, and other visual forms ranging from medieval religious icons to twenty-first-century selfies. They argue that engaging BIPOC, an�racist, queer, and feminist perspec�ves of the past is vital to understanding the complex historical rela�onships between sex and visual culture and how these rela�onships con�nue to shape sexual lives, bodies, myths, and desires.
Body hair, especially on women, provokes, disrupts, and, at �mes, offends. Fahs presents body hair not just as a personal grooming choice but as a connec�on to broader cultural stories about women’s reproduc�ve rights, feminist ba�legrounds about autonomy, neoliberal intrusions into beauty regimens, and even global tensions around women’s place in society.

It's �me to recognize Kathy Acker as one of the great postwar American writers. Over the decades readers have found a punk Acker, a feminist Acker, a queer Acker, a kink Acker, and an avant-garde Acker. McKenzie Wark adds a trans Acker. Wark recounts her memories of Acker (with whom she had a passionate affair) and gives a comprehensive reading of her published and archived works.
Jane Juffer brings together recently graduated students from across the US to reflect on the relevance of their feminist studies programs in their chosen career paths. The result is a dynamic collec�on of voices, shaking up preconceived ideas and showing the posi�ve influence of gender and sexuality studies on individuals at work.
