Gender Equality
We would like to announce a texbook about gender equality by Ines Shaw, a F.A.A.D. member. It introduces readers not only to developments in the collective effort to achieve gender equality but also to the issues and underlying reasons for various types of discrimination. The Collective Pursuit of Gender Equality Around the World: An Introduction was published in 2008 by Kendall/Hunt publishing. A website that includes a blog expands the content of the book and students’ discussion beyond the classroom.
"This work is a most welcome and significant addition to the literature. With sensitive treatment of the issues, the author cuts through the profuse tangle that has grown around the topic of gender equality and sheds stereotypical ideas about equality in the cultures of the Middle East and North Africa."
-- Dr. Minoo Derayeh, Prof. of Islam, World Religions and Gender Studies at York University, Canada
"This extraordinary book brings deserved attention to the progress of collective efforts to achieve gender equality while expertly leading readers to evaluate the cost of inequality and develop a cogent vision and an understanding of the benefits of a gender-equal world."
-- Dr. Nivia Valenca, Barros, Prof. of Social Politics and Women's Studies at the Federal Fluminense University, Brazil
