Free Download Female Camp Guards: In the Sights of the Investigators in East and West Germany by Lorenz Ingmann
English | June 24, 2024 | ISBN: 373472077X | 198 pages | PDF | 10 Mb
Through extensive research, the author has compiled the biographies of three former female concentration camp guards and one former political inmate. These are examples of how such cases were treated differently in East and West after the end of the Nazi regime. With the help of numerous historical documents, he traces the lives of these women and the atrocities they committed. The different approaches to the prosecution of these perpetrators in the two states of Germany, and the omissions that are highlighted, are thought-provoking. Some of them escaped punishment and were able to lead carefree lives without remorse until the end of their days.

Free Download Peter Petros, "Unlocking the Female Pelvic Floor: A guide for symptom relief with illustrative patient stories"
English | ISBN: 1682221865 | 2015 | 132 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
This book is based on a major scientific discovery, the "Integral System", by Professor Petros (Australia) and Professor Ulmsten (Sweden) who proposed that bowel and bladder problems originate mainly from a damaged vagina or the ligaments which support it and not from the organs themselves. One application, the midurethral sling operation, also invented by Petros & Ulmsten, has changed the lives of millions of women since the year 2000, converting a painful operation involving a12 day hospital stay with indwelling urinary catheters, to a fairly painless day-care operation. The experience of myself and other surgeons confirms cure or major improvement of other symptoms, urgency, nocturia, pelvic pain and bowel incontinence, following similar day-care repair of other ligaments. It takes many years for such a radical change in thinking to become widely known. This book is timely. It informs women how damaged vaginal ligaments can cause specific problem and how such problems can be cured or improved with a time-efficient pelvic floor regime, or with minimally invasive surgery.

Free Download Ronald C. Egan, "The Burden of Female Talent: The Poet Li Qingzhao and Her History in China "
English | ISBN: 0674726693 | 2014 | 432 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Widely considered the preeminent Chinese woman poet, Li Qingzhao (1084-1150s) occupies a crucial place in China’s literary and cultural history. She stands out as the great exception to the rule that the first-rank poets in premodern China were male. But at what price to our understanding of her as a writer does this distinction come? The Burden of Female Talent challenges conventional modes of thinking about Li Qingzhao as a devoted but often lonely wife and, later, a forlorn widow. By examining manipulations of her image by the critical tradition in later imperial times and into the twentieth century, Ronald C. Egan brings to light the ways in which critics sought to accommodate her to cultural norms, molding her "talent" to make it compatible with ideals of womanly conduct and identity. Contested images of Li, including a heated controversy concerning her remarriage and its implications for her "devotion" to her first husband, reveal the difficulty literary culture has had in coping with this woman of extraordinary conduct and ability. The study ends with a reappraisal of Li’s poetry, freed from the autobiographical and reductive readings that were traditionally imposed on it and which remain standard even today.

Free Download Xinxin Ma, "Female Employment and Gender Gaps in China "
English | ISBN: 9813369035 | 2021 | 201 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This open access book investigates female employment and the gender gap in the labor market and households during China’s economic transition period. It provides the reader with academic evidence for understanding the mechanism of female labor force participation, the determinants of the gender gap in the labor market, and the impact of policy transformation on women’s wages and employment in China from an economics perspective. The main content of this book includes three parts―women’s family responsibilities and women’s labor supply (child care, parent care, and women’s employment), the gender gap in the labor market and society (gender gaps in wages, Communist Party membership, and participation in social activity), and the impacts of policy transformation on women’s wages and employment (the social security system and the educational expansion policy on women’s wages and employment) in China. This book provides academic evidence about these issues based on economics theories and econometric analysis methods using many kinds of long-term Chinese national survey data. This book is highly recommended to readers who are interested in up-to-date and in-depth empirical studies of the gender gap and women’s employment in China during the economic transition period. This book is of interest to various groups such as readers who are interested in the Chinese economy, policymakers, and scholars with econometric analysis backgrounds.

Free Download Sue Ann Baker, "Behind the Shades: A Female Secret Service Agent’s True Story"
English | ISBN: 0996159525 | 2015 | 236 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Behind the Shades tells the story of the life of a female agent entering the male-dominated world of the Secret Service. It is a story of personal sacrifice, adventure, acceptance and rejection, tenacity, endurance, and hard work during trying times. Sue Ann Baker was on the front lines of history and observed it being made on a larger scale. She is one of the pioneers who paved the way for the many capable female agents that followed in her footsteps, and I am proud to say I served with her. Clinton J. Hill Assistant Director, Protective Forces (Retired) United States Secret Service

Free Download Andria D. Timmer, "Gender, Power, and Non-Governance: Is Female to Male as NGO Is to State?"
English | ISBN: 1800734603 | 2022 | 298 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Using Sherry Ortner’s analogy of Female/Nature, Male/Culture, this volume interrogates the gendered aspects of governance by exploring the NGO/State relationship. By examining how NGOs/States perform gendered roles and actions and the gendered divisions of labor involved in different types of institutional engagement, this volume attends to the ways in which gender and governance constitute flexible, relational, and contingent systems of power. The chapters in this volume present diverse analyses of the ways in which projects of governance both reproduce and challenge binaries.
