Whether immigrant women’s introduction to paid labor empowers them with greater autonomy or exacerbates their oppression has
been debated variously in the scholarship on gender and migration. In this paper, the author examines Korean immigrant women’s
perspectives on work outside the home after migration. Based on in-depth interview data, the paper emphasizes Korean women’s
own interpretations of work and motherhood, and highlights the ways in which they define and redefine work in relation to
other aspects of their post-migration experiences. The analysis finds that income producing work is not empowering in and
of itself, but contingent upon other post-migration challenges such as economic downward mobility and women’s changed roles
as working mothers. Furthermore, women’s perception of work fluctuates over time. The findings suggest that paid work should
not be simply interpreted as an empowering change, but the linkage between work and other aspects of immigrant women’s post-migration
realities needs to be more closely examined.

The World Anti-Slavery Convention of 1840 is remembered most as the event that inspired Lucretia Coffin Mott and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton to organize the Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention. Few scholars, however, have analyzed the debate proceedings
that ultimately resulted in women’s exclusion from the convention. An analysis of the convention proceedings questions Wendell
Phillips’ strategy of speaking on behalf of the women, arguing instead that William Lloyd Garrison’s strategy of silence was
the more rhetorically astute response to the exclusion of women. Garrison’s silent protest not only attracted more attention
to the women’s rights cause, but also inspired women to speak on their own behalf.

Though surveys repeatedly demonstrate that most women who are homeless alone have minor children living apart from them, there
is little information on the circumstances of their separations or whether and how they remain involved with their children.
Analysis of data from in-depth interviews with mothers, relatives caring for their children, and shelter and child welfare
staff highlights a tension between perspectives and aspirations of mothers and the agendas and social processes through which
institutional systems manage the family life of women marginalized by homelessness and disability. Though women’s agency is
evident in their efforts to maintain parenting roles, without facilitating resources and supportive structures, agency is
often reduced to unpalatable choices among constraining alternatives. We consider how service systems might mitigate barriers
to mothering as well as broader changes needed to genuinely support women’s aspirations for themselves and their families.

Women’s modesty norms are often perceived as governing women’s bodies and as patriarchal oppression. This study challenges
these perspectives, offering a deeper, multi-dimensional picture showing that the reality of the women’s life is much more
complicated. The article chose to discuss aspects of modesty among women of one of the most extreme Jewish ultra-Orthodox
groups, and in particular, to investigate how they experience an extremely demanding requirement—shaving off the hair on their
head upon marriage and covering their head with a black kerchief. The findings show that there are a variety of voices among
the women, ranging from the view that these practices are desirable, through the view that they empower the women, to the
view that they damage one’s attractiveness and are quite painful.

This study examined married men and women’s subjective class identification between 1972 and 2002, and the role of individual
gender ideologies in married persons’ shifting status-evaluation models. We used nationally representative trend data gathered
as part of the General Social Survey. Consistent with previous theoretical predictions, results indicated that overall, husbands
and wives used status-sharing models of status-evaluation. Interestingly, however, in the late 1990s and early 2000s women
shifted toward a status-borrowing model of status-evaluation. Results suggested that gender ideologies did not explain recent
trends in the importance of wives’ and husbands’ class attributes for models of status-evaluation. We concluded that shifts
in hegemonic gender beliefs, rather than individual gender ideologies, are a more likely explanation of changes in couples’
models of status-evaluation.

Knowledge organisation, embodiment of knowledge and knowledge representation are important issues for an anthropology of technology,
which seeks to explore the ways in which people find and shape everyday solutions to social and technical challenges. This
article discusses the impact of skill and of risk prevention on women’s decision-making, as well as on the domestication and
appropriation of new technologies. Particular attention is paid to non-synchronicity as a retarding factor and to the obsolescence
of skills as a critical moment in the transformation of socio-technical systems in twentieth century rural northern China
as elsewhere.

International female homelessness is a difficult subject to address for a number of reasons. First, understanding what defines
homelessness poses a problem because female homelessness often takes on a different form than that of male homelessness. Also,
homelessness in industrialized countries looks different from that of developing nations where women are more likely to have
inadequate housing in temporary shelters or live as squatters. Both of these factors affect the visibility of female homelessness
as well as the ability to garner an accurate account of the number of homeless women around the world. Understanding the causes
of female homelessness from a global perspective is no less difficult to comprehend because it encompasses so many other multifaceted
issues. Women in developing nations face a different set of issues than their counterparts in the industrialized world because
of differences in property rights, women’s rights generally, access to education, and access to social services. Finally,
immigrant women face a unique set of circumstances of being a foreigner without an adequate social support network.

Many Korean women felt strongly positive about donating their eggs for Hwang Woo Suk’s research, in spite of the fact that
Hwang was accused of fraud. It is said that there is a kind of unique ‘egg donation culture’ among Korean women, which urged
them to donate their eggs for his research. However, positing such a Korean ‘egg donation culture’ does not seem to give a
sufficient explanation of why so many Korean women were seemingly willing to provide their own eggs for Hwang’s research.
Instead, we suggest that egg donation issues in the Hwang affair can be interpreted under the paradoxical context, in which
Korean women are situated in the age of biotechnology. On the one hand, the invisibility of women as subjects in the public
sphere led to their lack of social control over ova trafficking and made it possible for a huge number of eggs to be supplied
secretly for Hwang’s team. The patriarchal structure of family, the myth of economic growth, and the restricted activities
of feminist organizations are possible contributors to the invisibility of Korean women. On the other hand, in the practices
of bodily technologies such as cosmetic surgery and reproductive technologies, Korean women have been highly visible. With
the help of those technological instruments, women have been empowered to own their own bodies and to have them at their disposal.
We argue that these dualistic realities of women as egg owners can explain the egg donation culture among Korean women in
the Hwang affair.

In this article, I analyze interviews with a diverse group of 30 women aged 46–71 to understand how they experience signs
of aging, such as weight gain, gray hair, and facial hair, in everyday life. I find that some women’s responses are in line
with normative femininity and appearance norms. Others, however, focus on different gendered meanings of the body that are
connected to care-taking, work, ageist treatment, and past abuse. I argue that feminists should apply the theoretical concept
of femininity more broadly than appearance and attraction issues to gain a deeper understanding of the multiple meanings of
living in an aging female body in a gendered society. In the conclusion, I discuss the implications of this study for public
health policies as well as future research on gender and the body.

This paper looks at the formation of a South Korean national health network by focusing on the introduction of an ambitious
National Family Planning (FP) Program under President Park Chung Hee (1961–1968). The program, influenced in part by the model
of its neighbor, Taiwan (Taichung), saw two pilot studies carried out in Koyang (rural, beginning in 1963) and Sundong-gu
(Seoul metropolitan area, 1964–1966), before being carried to rural areas nationwide. If the program began with numerous echoes
of Japanese colonial practice, it was mobilized specifically in terms of the emerging “modern” South Korean story and the
state’s relationship to the welfare of the individual family unit. Using a range of Korean and English-language sources, the
paper illustrates how the FP effort took: (1) the Koyang study of the effects of mass communication in rural areas as a tentative
blueprint for expanding its national agenda; (2) subsequently enlisted mobile transportation (1966) to expand the scope of
its reach; and finally, mobilized “Mothers’ Clubs” (1968) to penetrate the very fabric of rural society, making women both
the target as well as the primary means of distribution. Ultimately, this strategy of enlisting the active participation of
South Korean women on behalf of the program asked rural women in particular to submit their bodies to the state’s scrutiny,
even as they formed the core of the distribution network. In this respect, FP anticipated the mass mobilization of rural South
Korea in the New Village movement of the 1970s and leaves behind an ambiguous legacy of state control that is only just beginning
to be re-examined.

Mother’s and Father’s Day celebrations were investigated to understand how gender is created on these two occasions. Fifty-three
heterosexual couples were interviewed about family holidays. Mother’s Day was given more attention than Father’s Day. Families
spent more time celebrating; they were more likely to eat out, and were more likely to celebrate with others. Mothers were
also more likely to receive gifts than fathers. The gendering of the holidays was reflected in the more stereotypical gifts
received on Mother’s and Father’s Day than on birthdays, and in that mothers were more likely to report relief from chores
on Mother’s Day than fathers were on Father’s Day (p < .01). Families in which women worked full-time and whose husbands contributed substantially to domestic labor were as likely
to celebrate in gendered ways as traditional families were. These holidays reflect and promote hegemonic notions of the gendered
nature of motherhood and fatherhood.

Direct and indirect aggressive behaviors were studied using surveys and interviews of students in two public schools. The
variables of “sex-of-aggressor” and “sex-of-target” were included. Claims in previous research that girls engage in far more
indirect aggression than boys are not supported. Further, it was found that girls are more likely to target the opposite sex
with direct aggression than boys. This suggests more gender fluidity in the use of aggression by girls and adds to a growing
body of research that dispels the notion that direct and indirect aggression can be neatly sorted into male and female categories
of behavior.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight methodological issues and considerations which will be of use to researchers interested
in further understanding the complexity of intimate partner violence in the lives of Hispanic men who have sex with men. We
present a brief review of the research on intimate partner violence which highlights intersections of health and behavior
risk factors (i.e., alcohol-related-intimate-partner-violence and HIV/AIDS risk) pertaining to gender, ethnicity, and sexuality
in this population of males. We then present the reader with a synthesis and critique of several methodological concerns relevant
to furthering research in this area including: locating participants, considerations of the impact of local cultural contexts,
and impact of researcher positionality. Research recommendations for addressing intimate partner violence as a complex public
health concern embedded in “hidden populations” conclude the paper.

This article examines birth control as practice and discourse in 1920s and 1930s Korea under Japanese colonial rule and explores
links with family planning and reproductive practices in post-1945 South Korea. The control of women’s reproduction held critical
implications for meanings of domesticity, marriage, sexual relations, and new womanhood. While a woman-centered position did
emerge regarding birth control, the parameters of the discourse, concerns of gynecology, and the material culture of birth
control ultimately tied the bodies and health of women to their biological and social roles as mothers.

This study examines the medical profession in post-Soviet society, where women have been in the majority of the physicians
for almost seven decades. It examines pediatricians’ and surgeons’ definitions of the professional skills and qualities needed
for “good” work. Lithuania is used as a case study. Thirty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2005 with male
and female surgeons and pediatricians in Lithuania. The results show that the gender composition of the specialty—surgery
being a male-dominated and pediatrics a female-dominated specialty—tended to influence the way that physicians perceived the
qualities needed for good work. For surgeons, male-gendered qualities were prerequisites for being a good surgeon: physical
strength and being in control. Female surgeons added a female-gendered quality—empathy and compassion—that made them good
surgeons. A good pediatrician had a holistic and empathic approach and an ability to communicate, which were seen as female-gendered
skills. Male pediatricians experienced otherness in this specialty but did not, as women surgeons did, offer a counter discourse
in order to legitimate themselves as being as skilled as women.

Reassembled cars can be seen everywhere in Taiwan. In the past few decades, the government has repeatedly clamped down on
them. It has also taken measures such as negative persuasion, technical requirements, alienation, phaseout, and developed
standard agricultural vehicles to eradicate reassembled cars. But they are able to take advantage of the social context and
rationalize their existence. Reassembled cars have not only gained support or sympathy but also overturned the conventional
concept of safety, which allows them to fight against official clampdown. To compete against mass-manufactured vehicles, their
best strategy is to respond to the circumstances of Taiwan’s rural area and offer the best solution. Their external advantages
include their services, adaptability to all kinds of environments, not to mention that they are license-free and tax-free.
Internal advantages include their safety, low prices, and flexibility in production and use, thanks to the collaborated network
consisting of salvage yards and reassembled car makers. By making good use of all the aforementioned advantages and following
Taiwan’s social development, reassembled cars have gained a competitive niche that has failed the clampdown actions over and
over again. But most importantly, they have supported Taiwan’s economic development in many sectors.

Although there is some awareness of how women in infertility treatment have suffered physically and psychologically, it is
a little known fact that there is a limit to the “cures” that can be achieved even with assisted reproductive technologies.
Here, I describe how the existence of ART affects women’s decision making about their lives. Through life histories of women
who underwent infertility treatment, I explore the factors which cause their suffering and conflict—that they cannot give
up on having children even though they want to give up—as follows: (1) The models of their ideal family which have been formed
throughout their lives is ‘ordinary’ family; (2) they experienced the alienation from their own bodies in infertility treatment;
(3) they are afraid that they deviate from the community norm because of infertility; (4) their narrative shows their suffering
from infertility is caused by tense relationship in family and community. These factors make women in infertility belittle
themselves. Through their life histories, I conclude that they need to be empowered if they want to akirameru (give up) having children after prolonged infertility treatment. To paraphrase, a woman who suffers from infertility and
infertility treatment is empowered when she becomes unafraid to deviated from cultural norms.

This paper focuses on children in Japan who begin using mobile phones (keitai) while in elementary school and will discuss aspects of parental–child relationships that involve keitai use. Firstly, this paper presents an overview of a Japanese society presently immersed in mobile media, focusing particularly
on the spread of mobile media use to younger Japanese children. Data are presented from two research projects and analyzed
to examine the cause of, and circumstances that lead to, child keitai use. Increasing social anxieties about safety and parental concern have reportedly led to increasing perception that keitai use is valuable in times of emergency, or in order to prevent crime, leading to a shift in attitudes towards children’s keitai use: that which was formerly considered “unnecessary” has now become “necessary”. However, the anxiety about safety is shared
by almost all people and is therefore not itself a deciding factor regarding children’s keitai ownership. Keitai usage is, instead, prompted by several factors, some of which are not shared by children and parents. From this rift in reasoning
emerges a game of tug-of-war over ownership and use between children and parents.
