By Anne Phillips
Exploring the spirituality and faith of girls on the verge of adolescence, Phillips presents fresh insights into children's spirituality and their transition to adulthood. Phillips has listened to girls' speaking on the themes of self, God, church and world, and reflected on their experiences and understandings in the light of current thinking, all placed into dialogue with a feminist approach to contemporary theology and the bible. This book will appeal to all those exploring areas of youth ministry, pastoral care, Christian education, nurture and childhood studies, psychology and theology.

By Wendy Simonds, Barbara Katz Rothman, Bari Meltzer Norman
Updating Barbara Katz Rothman's now-classic In Labor , the first feminist sociological analysis of birth in the United States, Laboring On gives a comprehensive picture of the ever-changing American birth practices and often conflicting visions of birth practitioners. The authors deftly weave compelling accounts of birth work, by midwives, doulas, obstetricians, and nurses, into the larger sociohistorical context of health care practices and activism and offer provocative arguments about the current state of affairs and the future of birth in America.

The existing scholarship on women in China suggests that gender inequality still exists against the background of the country's reform and opening in recent years.
By Niall Gilmartin
This book stems from a simple 'feminist curiosity' that can be succinctly summed up into a single question: what happens to combatant women after the war.
Transgender Migrations brings together a top-notch collection of emerging and established scholars to examine the way that the term "migration" can be used not only to look at the way trans bodies migrate from one gender to the other, but the way that trans people migrate in the larger geopolitical contexts of immigration reform, the war on terror, the war on drugs, and the increased policing of national borders. The book centers trans-ing experiences, identities, and politics, and treats these identities as inextricably intertwined with other social identities, institutions, and discourses of sexuality, nationality, race and ethnicity, globalization, colonialism, and terrorism. The chapter authors explore not only the movement of bodies in, through, and across spaces and borders, but also chart the metamorphoses of these bodies in relation to migration and mobility.
