It relates these concepts to practical knowledge as well as providing many problem-solving opportunities to enhance skills.

Kjønnslikestilling, som Norge nå eksporterer ut i verden på linje med fisk og olje, har ikke lang fartstid i Norge. Da Norge fikk en egen grunnlov i 1814, var det så selvsagt at kvinner ikke hadde stemmerett at man ikke trengte å presisere det. I 1913 fikk kvinner stemmerett på linje med menn. Hvordan og hvorfor skjedde dette? Og hva har skjedd i de hundre årene etterpå, som gjør at Norge i dag kalles et likestillingsland? Norsk likestillingshistorie gir en bred framstilling av hvordan kulturelle, sosiale og økonomiske forhold spiller sammen og skaper både likestilling og manglende likestilling. Denne versjonen av boken er uten bilder og i et hendigere format - for å gjøre boken mer anvendelig. De tre forfatterne er kulturforsker Hilde Danielsen, historiker Eirinn Larsen og filosof Ingeborg W. Owesen. «La meg slå fast med en gang: Dette er et både etterlengtet og imponerende verk.» - Beret Bråten i Tidsskrift for kjønnsforskning «En perle for øyet og et overflødighetshorn for tankene.» - Charlotte Myrbråten i Aftenposten

In the intimate language of one who watched birds daily, Karle Wilson Baker brought readers face to face with the wonders of the East Texas woods in the 1930s. She wrote about tiny warblers, industrious chickadees, and purple finches; the aery trills and tantalizing color flashes of the hummingbirds; the bell tones of the wood thrush; and, the daily visits and rare drop-ins of the prolific bird life of the region. In a daily diary she kept throughout her life, Baker recorded her observations of the many birds that lived in the heavily wooded setting of her Nacogdoches home, called Tanglewood. When her family moved from the house, she collected her essays on bird life into this volume, illustrated by her daughter Charlotte and published in 1930. Her little classic speaks with the voice of her times to readers today who enjoy their avian companions.

L. W. Conolly gives a comprehensive and detailed account of the twenty-five years of resistance by the Lord Chamberlain to the public presentation of Mrs Warren's Profession on the English stage. Conolly's examination of public and private commentary and correspondence of the Lord Chamberlain, his officials, Shaw, and various theater managers provides illuminating insights into the bizarre world of the British censorship system. Bernard F. Dukore examines Major Barbara not from the perspective of discussion play or high comedy outlooks that frequently inform analyses of this comedy but from that of sexuality, which is central to a play that concerns two couples engaged to be married, a young man for whom his mother wants to arrange a marriage, and parents who were estranged after his birth. A prominent concern of Dukore's analysis is the implication of this perspective for actors and directors of the play. Peter Gahan examines Shaw's engagement with Freud and the origins of psychoanalysis in the context of Shaw's 1922 translation into English of the German play Frau Gittas Suhne, written by his Viennese translator, Siegfried Trebitsch. Gahan further proposes a parallel between the transgressive adulterous relationship that propels the action of Jitta's Atonement and the transgression perpetrated by a translator on an author's original text. Patricia Carter interviews Peter Tompkins, who makes public a previously confidential portion of Shaw's 4 December 1944 letter to Molly Tompkins (held in her son's private collection), thus revealing the true nature of their relationship. Dan H. Laurence, approaching Mrs Warren's Profession as it passes its century mark, examines the Victorian underworld that forms its backdrop. He contends that the play's ethics have grown with the years and that it has found its niche among Shaw's most successful dramas. Margery M. Morgan takes a cultural-historical view of Shaw's part in the movement away from "medieval ideas" toward enlightened understanding of sexuality and gender. In particular, she relates his thinking on these matters to the network of scientific Humanitarians and Arts-and-Crafts aesthetes that accepted the Dubliner into their society. Testimony to his courage and clarity, his reservations and defensive strategies, is drawn from his plays and letters across the years. To demonstrate the claim that Shaw's imagination as it is revealed in the plays is intensely and complexly heterosexual, Harold E. Pagliaro passes over plays like Man and Superman, Major Barbara, and Misalliance, where the Life Force works overtly to unite lovers of its own choosing, and concentrates instead on Candida and Heartbreak House, plays in which complex perversions of the heterosexual ideal of the Life Force abound. Karma Waltonen demonstrates how Shaw's Saint Joan illustrates his belief that the individual, through spirit and genius, can transcend the biological determinism of gender. In Shaw's vision, Joan is someone who has at least partially fulfilled that transcendence, and who, like Shaw himself, has been made abject because of her superiority. Rodelle Weintraub offers another in a series of articles that examines the subtext of a manifest play to explicate the problem-solving dream in its latent play. Man and Superman, as a pre-absurdist play, seems deliberately to make little sense unless one views it as a problem-solving dream-play in which the latent play complements the manifest play and solves the deep-seated emotional problem of the dreamer. Stanley Weintraub evokes the relationship over four decades between G.B.S. and Kathleen Scott, the attractive and talented woman who became wife, then widow, of Antarctic explorer Robert Scott. However avuncular Shaw considered his friendship to be, it always had a sensual, if safe, edge to it. Charlotte, whose marriage to Shaw was asexual, even let Kathleen teach G.B.S. to dance. Kathleen also sculpted him memorably and he put her subtly into his plays."

A vivid, engaging account of the artists and artworks that sought to make sense of America's first total war, Grand Illusions takes readers on a compelling journey through the major historical events leading up to and beyond US involvement in WWI to discover the vast and pervasive influence of the conflict on American visual culture. David M. Lubin presents a highly original examination of the era's fine arts and entertainment to show how they ranged frompatriotic idealism to profound disillusionment. In stylishly written chapters, Lubin assesses the war's impact on two dozen painters, designers, photographers, and filmmakers from 1914 to 1933. He considers well-known figures such as Marcel Duchamp, John Singer Sargent, D. W. Griffith, and the African American outsider artist Horace Pippin while resurrecting forgotten artists such as the mask-maker Anna Coleman Ladd, the sculptor Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, and the combat artist Claggett Wilson. The book is liberally furnished withillustrations from epoch-defining posters, paintings, photographs, and films. Armed with rich cultural-historical details and an interdisciplinary narrative approach, David Lubin creatively upends traditional understandings of the Great War's effects on the visual arts in America.

American Socialist Triptych: The Literary-Political Work of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Upton Sinclair, and W. E. B. Du Bois explores the contributions of three writers to the development of American socialism over a fifty-year period and asserts the vitality of socialism in modern American literature and culture. Drawing upon a wide range of texts including archival sources, Mark W. Van Wienen demonstrates the influence of reform-oriented, democratic socialism both in the careers of these writers and in U.S. politics between 1890 and 1940. While offering unprecedented in-depth analysis of modern American socialist literature, this book charts the path by which the supposedly impossible, dangerous ideals of a cooperative commonwealth were realised, in part, by the New Deal. American Socialist Triptych provides in-depth, innovative readings of the featured writers and their engagement with socialist thought and action. Upton Sinclair represents the movement's most visible manifestation, the Socialist Party of America, founded in 1901; Charlotte Perkins Gilman reflects the socialist elements in both feminism and 1890s reform movements, and W. E. B. Du Bois illuminates social democratic aspirations within the NAACP. Van Wienen's book seeks to re-energise studies of Sinclair by treating him as a serious cultural figure whose career peaked not in the early success of The Jungle but in his nearly successful 1934 run for the California governorship. It also demonstrates as never before the centrality of socialism throughout Gilman's and Du Bois's literary and political careers. More broadly, American Socialist Triptych challenges previous scholarship on American radical literature, which has focused almost exclusively on the 1930s and Communist writers. Van Wienen argues that radical democracy was not the phenomenon of a decade or of a single group but a sustained tradition dispersed within the culture, providing a useful genealogical explanation for how socialist ideas were actually implemented through the New Deal. American Socialist Triptych also revises modern American literary history, arguing for the endurance of realist and utopian literary modes at the height of modernist literary experimentation and showing the importance of socialism not only to the three featured writers but also to their peers, including Edward Bellamy, Hamlin Garland, Jack London, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Claude McKay. Further, by demonstrating the importance of social democratic thought to feminist and African American campaigns for equality, the book dialogues with recent theories of radical egalitarianism. Readers interested in American literature, U.S. history, political theory, and race, gender, and class studies will all find in American Socialist Triptych a valuable and provocative resource.

Androgynous Democracy examines how the notions of gender equality propounded by transcendentalists and other nineteenth-century writers were further developed and complicated by the rise of literary modernism. Aaron Shaheen specifically investigates the ways in which intellectual discussions of androgyny, once detached from earlier gonadal-based models, were used by various American authors to formulate their own paradigms of democratic national cohesion. Indeed, Henry James, Frank Norris, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, John Crowe Ransom, Grace Lumpkin, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Marita B
