Third World, Second Sex (Volume 1)

Third World - Second Sex brings together women's organizations from over 20 Third World countries giving voice to their own experiences and perspectives. This important book reflects, as a result, the accelerating pace of women's struggles in countries as diverse as India and El Salvador, Oman and Mauritius, Chile and Zimbabwe. The issues these women face include their role in national liberation movements and armed struggles; the need, or otherwise, for an autonomous women's movement in Third World Countries; and the changing position of women after a revolutionary transition. They also give accounts of specific feminist campaigns against malviolence, against company exploitation, and in the area of women and health. This book reveals how Third World women are confronting traditional male-dominated structures with courage and initiative. The experiences of this new generation of women's movements can contribute to an understanding among other Third World women of their problems and how to analyse and solve them. It also adds a rich new dimension to women's perspectives elsewhere in the world. A useful listing of women's organizations worldwide is also included.

Third World-Second Sex: Women's Struggles and National Liberation; Third World Women Speak Out

This travel guide reveals the everyday concerns, issues and pleasures that are unique to women but are rarely even touched upon in guides written by men. The subjects of harassment and safety are dealt with - women are told if they are likely to treated as an honoured guest, an honorary man, or an easy lay. Country-by-country introductions and travel notes detail special problems, laws and customs of relevance to women. Listings are provided for women's organizations, venues and specialist provisions. Introductory background and recent historical and political updates give pointers about the issues important to women in each country. 15 new countries are covered in this edition, including Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Guatamala, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Laos, Malaysia, Russia, Thailand, Tibet, Uganda and Ukraine.
