Nolwenn Bühler, "When Reproduction Meets Ageing: The Science and Medicine of the Fertility Decline "
English | ISBN: 1839097477 | 2021 | 304 pages | EPUB | 839 KB
What is really biological about the 'biological cloc'k and how can we account for its embodied reality from a feminist perspective?

Rhonda Levine, "When Race Meets Class: African Americans Coming of Age in a Small City"
English | ISBN: 0367134896 | 2019 | 192 pages | EPUB | 374 KB
A rare, 15-year ethnography, this book follows the lives of individual, low-income African American youth from the beginning of high school into their early adult years. Levine shows how their interaction and experience with multiple institutions (family, school, community) and individuals (parents, friends, teachers, coaches, strangers) shape their hopes, fears, aspirations, and worldviews. The intersectionality of their social identities―how race, class, and gender come together to influence how they come to think about who they are―influences many behaviors that directly contradict their stated aspirations. Affected, too, by limited access to resources, these youths often take a path profoundly different from their stated values and life goals. Levine explores the volatility and constraints underlying their decision-making and behaviors. The book reveals the critical junctures and turning points shaping life trajectories, challenging many long-held assumptions about the persistence of racial inequality by offering new insights on the educational and occupational barriers facing young African Americans.

Ester Carolina Apesoa-Varano, "When Older Women Speak: Aging, Emotional Distress, and the Self"
English | ISBN: 0367442019 | 2020 | 162 pages | EPUB | 323 KB
Studying the interaction of gender, class, race/ethnicity, and aging in the depression experience of older women provides a unique opportunity to understand how aging plays a significant role in shaping conceptions of self and emotional health trajectories for women. Based on author interviews with mostly working-class, depressed, elderly women, this book contributes to the theoretical understanding of femininity and aging and the practical implications for policy and effective health care treatment. Cultivating an "alternative self" can reduce older women's suffering and provide the emotional resources to change their inner worlds, even if the outer world stretches beyond their control.
