Carmen Baroja, Zenobia Camprubí y María Teresa León, al igual que las mujeres del grupo de Bloomsbury, y de otras mujeres de la burguesía liberal española de la primera mitad del siglo XX, lucharon denodadamente por alcanzar una autonomía personal y profesional. A partir del análisis socio histórico de sus trayectorias se percibe el peso que ejercieron en sus vidas la familia, la educación, las redes sociales, las asociaciones de mujeres, en fin, la vida cultural y política. Este libro pretende rendir un homenaje a todas aquellas mujeres que intentaron desasirse de los lazos de sujeción, atados y bien atados, por las principales instituciones de socialización de unas sociedades capitalistas en las que reinaba la dominación masculina.

This book reflects many of the profound social, political, and economic changes that have influenced the UPV/EHU since the 1980s. This process shaped a complex social and political reality in the Basque Country that is mirrored in the diversity of authors and topics in the book. These authors do, however, share a feminist outlook and these chapters provide a general, albeit partial, overview of Basque feminist scholarship. The book is indicative of a twofold series of feminist challenges: There is the challenge of describing and reflecting upon the changes that have occurred in recent decades as regards the presence of women in the job market, in politics, and in public life. These are spheres where feminist activity—institutional, academic, and professional—has flourished to a considerable extent, but where inequalities, though often highly sophisticated and therefore difficult to identify, nonetheless remain evident. And there is a challenge in another sense as well, because the material gathered here represents a vital contribution to general research in the fields of anthropology, sociology, history, law, economics, political science, and communications sciences.

Se trata de un texto ilustrado que pone al alcance del gran público el contexto social y cultural de un colectivo de mujeres (intelectuales, artistas, científicas…), que en el primer tercio del siglo XX empezaron a ocupar parcelas del saber y del conocimiento que hasta entonces habían estado reservadas a los hombres. Esta obra supone la recuperación de la memoria de una época y de unas mujeres que hicieron historia pero que, por los cambios políticos ocurridos tras la guerra civil, quedaron relegadas al olvido.

How are global institutions gendered? Do they play a role in continuing global inequality? Can anything be done to change them? In the first comprehensive study of global governance from a feminist perspective, this collection gathers together an exemplary line-up of internationally-renowned scholars to provide a theoretically-informed and empirically-based analysis of both the institutions of global governance and the attempts to transform them. Bringing together interdisciplinary and multi-level analyses of global governance within a coherent theoretical framework, this volume demonstrates the diversity and breadth within feminist approaches, including case studies from institutions such as the International Criminal Court and the World Bank, as well as regional organisations, such as the EU, and covering an array of policy areas including security, trade, agriculture and macroeconomics. This book provides an invaluable addition to the literature on global governance and will be essential reading for all those who study it.
