“…century, race was the dominant framework to conceive and classify the people in the world in the global hierarchy of civilization (Mohanty, 1984;Thomas, 1998). More specifically, the idea of "race" as a particular way through which the West distinguished itself from the "others" was tied in the 19th century to the new importance given to biological difference to justify men's dominance over women (Andermahr et al, 1997), and historians have argued that scientific classifications of race and sex in the West have long been associated with each other, meaning that so-called lower races provided a metaphor for the female type of humankind and females a metaphor for the "lower race" of gender (Stepan, 1993).…”

To challenge the masculinity of the professional water sector, I take in this paper one of the core questions of feminist technology studies as the starting point: why are there so few expert women in technology? By means of a critical feminist reading of policy and research documents, from the 1950s onwards, focusing on Nepal's history of rural development and technology transfer, I trace the origins of expert women's limited participation in politically relevant processes of water decision making. The analysis reveals that both technology-and-development—and women/gender-and-development policy narratives have validated, and continue to validate, women expert's subordinate position in the Nepali water sector. This is partially so, because donors and national governments insufficiently recognize the racial and sexist assumptions that are historically rooted into these policy narratives.

“…Subsequent discussions in the 1960s, in particular the publication of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique in 1963, ushered a Second Wave of Feminism, introducing the idea of women as a cultural product (Andermahr et al, 2000). This wave consisted of two separate political movements with divergent perspectives on how to achieve gender equality in the workplace (Nicholson, 1997).…”

This paper pays tribute to Joan Acker by discussing how her ideas have been utilized in Management and Organization Studies (MOS). Through a systematic review of journal articles citing Acker's scholarship from 2000 to 2017 (September), we show how recent scholarship has used Acker to advance discussions in the field and examine how her work was received, and which promises made by her work are still to be met. We identify avenues to carry her legacy forward with a view to realizing the transformative goal she posed as central to meaningful change in social, political and economic life through scholarship in the field of gender and organizations.

“…Though there are overarching difficulties that take into account the discipline's particular epistemological, ontological, and methodological assumptions, there are numerous perspectives on feminism with different theoretical foundations. Men and women should be treated equally in society, politics, and the economy is the central idea of all other connected feminism theories (Andermahr, Lovell, and Wolkowitz, 1997). Another name for this concept is the struggle for women's independence or rights.…”

The topic in this study is about issues of feminism, gender and stereotypes that occur in the singer’s life journey as depicted in the lyrics of the song Reflection by Lea Salonga (1998). The method used in this study is a qualitative method based on the lyrics of the song Reflection by Lea Salonga as the main data source. To analyze this song, the researcher applies feminism and sociological approaches. The results of this study concluded that the singer in the song lyric experienced a process of searching for identity while fighting for the ideal that women also have the right to stand equal to men and bear equal responsibilities without needing to feel weaker. It is hoped that this study could serve as a new reference regarding the issue of feminism and gender stereotypes in literary works
