“Suits To Self-Sufficiency” Dress for Success and Neoliberal Maternalism

In 1997 the women-run nonprofit organization Dress for Success opened its first location with the aim of empowering low-income women by providing gently used suits for job interviews. Drawing on eight months of fieldwork in an affiliate office, we analyze cross-race and cross-class interactions between privileged volunteers and low-income clients to demonstrate the emergence of what we term �ne…

Gendered Expertise

Based on in-depth interviews with policymakers and archival data, we examine the policy debates over court reform in family law and criminal law in Chile after the democratic transition. We introduce the concept of �gendered expertise� to capture the set of competences and claims organized around perceived gender differences and mobilized through gendered networks that we found in these debates…

Forms of Femininity at the End of a Customary Marriage

This paper explores women�s daily practice of resistance built into the racialized and gendered social structure of customary marriages in South Africa. I argue that women resist, accommodate, adapt, and contest power and authority in the decision to leave the marriage, in negotiating the exit from the marriage, and in their approach to the financial consequences of the separation. By using the…

Victims to Saviors: Governmentality and the Regendering of Citizenship in India

Gender scholars have argued that legal reforms against violence position women as victims in need of state help. Using data collected from 22 months of participant observation with survivors of domestic violence in India, I urge academics to re-theorize the relationship between legal reforms and women�s citizenship during an era of neoliberal governance. Burdened with administrative tasks, Indi…

Patterns of Global Gender Inequalities and Regional Gender Regimes

This article draws on data from various sources for 190 developed and developing nations and uses them to examine gender regimes, or forms of patriarchal structures, at the regional level. I argue for multiple, rather than single, measures of gender inequality and illustrate that using many inequality measures exposes a wider range of outcomes within the Global South than the North, also sugges…

Moral Women, Immoral Technologies How Devout Women Negotiate Gender, Religio…

Catholicism is the most restrictive world religion in its position on assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). The opposition of the Church, combined with the widespread acceptability of ARTs in the United States, creates a profound moral dilemma for those who adhere to Church doctrine. Drawing on interviews from 33 Catholic women, this study shows that devout women have different understandi…

Re-visioning Ultrasound through Women’s Accounts of Pre-abortion Care in En…

Feminist scholarship has demonstrated the importance of sustained critical engagement with ultrasound visualizations of pregnant women�s bodies. In response to portrayals of these images as �objective� forms of knowledge about the fetus, it has drawn attention to the social practices through which the meanings of ultrasound are produced. This article makes a novel contribution to this project b…

Embodied Motherhood Women’s Feelings about Their Postpartum Bodies

Based on in-depth interviews, this article examines a sample of 48 Canadian women�s feelings about their changed postpartum bodies, their sense of self, and the factors that affect both. Our findings suggest that understanding women�s postpartum feelings requires contextualizing them in the work of infant care and women�s life circumstances, as well as ideologies about mothering and feminine ap…

This study seeks to understand the ways in which men who pledge sexual abstinence until marriage negotiate and assert masculine identities before and after marriage. Using longitudinal qualitative data, this work traces the ways in which men who pledge abstinence until marriage manage a tension between both �sacred� and �beastly� discourses surrounding sexuality. The situational and interaction…

Gay Pay for Straight Work Mechanisms Generating Disadvantage

Drawing from the gender wage gap literature, we explore four possible causes of sexual minority earnings gaps: (1) variation in human capital and labor force participation, (2) occupational and industrial sorting, (3) differences in the institutional organization of the public and private sector, and (4) different returns to marriage and parenthood. Using the 2006 Census of Canada, we find that…

New Categories Are Not Enough Rethinking the Measurement of Sex and Gender i…

Recently, scholars and activists have turned their attention toward improving the measurement of sex and gender in survey research. The focus of this effort has been on including answer options beyond �male� and �female� to questions about the respondent�s gender. This is an important step toward both reflecting the diversity of gendered lives and better aligning survey measurement practice wit…

Taming Tiger Dads Hegemonic American Masculinity and South Korea’s Father …

How do non-Western men interact with and understand the form of Western masculinity associated with global dominance? Is their experience of Western hegemonic masculinity�s denigration of their national/ethnic masculinity similar to what occurs among subordinated nonwhite and lower-class men in Western countries? We take up this subject in our study of the South Korean Father School movement, w…

The Gendering of Emotional Flexibility Why Angry Women Are Both Admired and …

Research on emotional labor has consistently shown that women�s jobs require the suppression of anger. But in the debt settlement firms we studied, the women who negotiated with creditors were expected to express anger. We show that what made their anger acceptable was that its expression was preceded and followed by positive emotions. Women were praised for their ability to rapidly shift from …

Sneers and Leers: Romance Writers and Gendered Sexual Stigma

Drawing on four years of ethnographic research with romance novel writers, we show how their affiliation with romance�a literary genre known for stories containing sexual content�prompted outsiders to sexually stigmatize them. Our work examines both the application and management of this stigma. We describe how outsiders applied the stigma in two ways: by conveying blatant disapproval through �…

Marriage, Violence, and Choice Understanding Dalit Women’s Agency in Rural…

The literature on Dalit women largely deals with issues of violence and oppression based on intersections of class, caste, and gender. Women�s bodies, sexuality, and reproductive choices are linked to the ideological hegemony of the caste�gender nexus in India, with marriage and sexual relations playing crucial roles in maintaining caste boundaries. Often, the ways in which women manipulate the…
