Working Women in America

Working Women in America

Sharlene Nagy Hesse-Biber; Gregg Lee Carter

Oxford University Press Inc
2004
nidottu
The second edition of Working Women in America: Split Dreams highlights current research on critical issues affecting American women in today's global workplace. It features updated information and examples, including extended discussions of women's activism within and outside of the workplace, the impact of globalization, the effects of the glass ceiling and sexual harassment, and women's roles in the U.S. labor movement. Retaining the focus of the first edition, this text emphasizes the continuity of women's work experience. It seeks to dispel the misconception that women's work is a recent phenomenon, when in fact women have been working throughout history. The book also addresses the constant tension and multiple roles that women must manage. The lives of working women are indeed characterized by "split dreams": most women who work are constantly juggling their work and family dreams. It is therefore misleading to concentrate solely on the workplace when seeking to understand women's position at work. Rather, one must pay attention to the connections among societal institutions. To this end, the authors argue for and utilize a structural approach-one that examines the ways in which the economy, education, the family, and the polity reflect and influence one another and help reinforce women's subordination. Only when these connections are brought to light is it possible to begin to formulate alternatives to conventional ideas concerning work, family, and gender roles. The authors begin by situating their research in opposition to dominant sociological models of work. They then provide a thorough historical overview of women at work, carefully examining the diversity of women's experiences by race, ethnicity, class, and age. Economic, legal, political, familial, and educational institutions are also analyzed to show the ways in which they help produce and maintain inequality for women in the workplace. Working Women in America: Split Dreams intersperses first-person accounts throughout the book and provides a number of vignettes of women employed in a variety of occupations. It is an ideal text for courses in women's studies, sociology, economics, social work, and history, and fascinating reading for anyone interested in women and their work.

The Cult of Thinness

The Cult of Thinness

Sharlene Nagy Hesse-Biber

Oxford University Press Inc
2008
nidottu
Whether they are rich or poor, liberal or conservative, religious or atheist, thriving or stagnant, most American women have one thing in common--they want to be thin--or thinner. And they are willing to go to extraordinary lengths to get that way, even to the point of starving themselves. Why are America's women so preoccupied with weight? Is there more to this preoccupation than weight alone? What has caused record numbers of young women--even before they reach their teenage years--to suffer from weight obsession, poor body image, and disordered eating? Why are some young women able to resist cultural pressures to be thin when others are not? Are there factors within American society that have fueled current outbreaks of anorexia and bulimia? The Cult of Thinness, Second Edition--a revised and expanded version of Sharlene Nagy Hesse-Biber's award-winning book, Am I Thin Enough Yet? (OUP, 1996)--answers these questions and more. Hesse-Biber goes beyond traditional psychological explanations of eating disorders to level a powerful indictment against the social, political, and economic pressures women face in a weight-obsessed society--a society that is, ironically, becoming increasingly more fat while worshipping a progressively more thin ideal. She examines the profit motives of corporate America that promote this paradox. Moreover, a new chapter on preteens, masculinity, ethnicity, gay and lesbian body image, and the globalization of body image issues align a refined cultural study of body image with the trends found in current research studies, demographic data, and popular culture. Using the metaphor of a cult, Hesse-Biber conveys the intense, day-to-day involvement that the pursuit of thinness demands. Examining the testimonies of young women concerning the practice of body rituals, she observes the extent to which these women sacrifice their bodies and minds to the pursuit of the ultra-slender ideal. She looks at pressures coming from their families and friends that perpetuate their cult-like practices and evaluates a range of therapies and personal and collective actions available to help women overcome their weight obsessions and eating problems. Hesse-Biber provides new frameworks for envisioning femininity and personal power, overcoming body insecurity, strengthening the inner self, and changing the cultural environment itself. Along the way, the reader is provided with important self-help tips to tackle the growing number of body image issues young women and new recruits to the "Cult of Thinness" continue to encounter. There are alternatives to the Cult of Thinness and this book provides a strong antidote.

Waiting for Cancer to Come

Waiting for Cancer to Come

Sharlene Hesse-Biber

The University of Michigan Press
2014
nidottu
Waiting for Cancer to Come tells the stories of women who are struggling with their high risk for cancer. Based on interviews and surveys of dozens of women, this book pieces together the diverse yet interlocking experiences of women who have tested positive for the BRCA 1/2 gene mutations, which indicate a higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Sharlene Hesse-Biber brings these narratives to light and follows women’s journeys from deciding to get screened for BRCA, to learning the test has come back positive, to dealing with their risk. Many women already know the challenges of a family history riddled with cancer and now find themselves with the devastating knowledge of their own genetic risk. Using the voices of the women themselves to describe the under-explored BRCA experience, Waiting for Cancer to Come looks at the varied emotional, social, economic, and psychological factors at play in women’s decisions about testing and cancer prevention.

Momager: Child Entertainer

WHAT IS A MOMAGER?Momager/Dadager? That is what the parent is called who is working as a Manager for their child to get them into the Entertainment Industry. Whether it be stage, film or music...This book will help you understand the Industry that you are entering. Too many times as parents, we are unprepared to what to expect or what we need to do to help our child be successful in this Industry. Do you need an Agent? Manager? What about a resume? How do you get that when you are new to the career field? What about a reel? Headshots? Bodyshots? Most parents are the Managers of their child...and it is the parents that should be involved in the process. As a parent I had to learn just like you are or will that this career field is very competitive, and in many cases very heartless. Sometimes the competitiveness is more with the parents than it is the children. The children are having fun...or at least they should be. The parents are pushing their children to learn lines, to act a certain way, to beat the competition....this is a very stressful time for most parents, and if you are not careful also for your child.Realize that most children act in school plays when they are young and even into teenage years.. After that life takes over, some stay in the industry, others leave to accomplish their own goals and dreams away from this Industry.While you are Momager or Dadager, (Mom Manager or Dad Manager) you need to make sure your child is safe and having fun in this career field. Also if you think you are going to get rich doing this, or that every opportunity is a paying one, you are wrong. Your child needs to work as much as possible, and that includes non-paying projects. To become good at anything you have to practice, to become great in this field you need experience... so every opportunity big, small, paying and NON-paying is important to do. NON-PAYING opportunities....payment comes not just in the form of money. It also comes in the Priceless, forms of experiences, learning skills, working with other actors, working with experienced actors, with different directors and producers, and more, these are things that you are getting in return for you working Non-paying projects. If your child loves this industry you will want him or her to be able to perform as often as you can. There is no role to small....sometimes the one line or word is what is remembered out of the whole play or film.Enjoy your time as your child's manager for they grow up so fast..
