These letters give a personal and intimate insight into the lives of two sisters living in Madras (now Chennai) in the time of Jane Austen. Both describe day-to-day life, occupations and relationships in the earliest days of British settlement, providing a rare glimpse into the social history of a place in India, far from home. Both women were accomplished artists, the older one, Elizabeth, deserving significant recognition for her extraordinary bird paintings. She also had a strong fascination for all things Indian: the people; their history; religions and languages, which she relates with enthusiasm, and then widens this with evident talent for botany and horticulture.
Her younger sister, Mary, contented herself with descriptions of places, people and surroundings, not always complimentary to her peers. Behind all this was an undercurrent of anxiety about news from home, correspondence difficulties, war with France and a terrifying sepoy mutiny in Vellore. There was also a background of tension arising from the broken relationships between Elizabeth’s husband, judge Sir Henry Gwillim, and both his Chief Justice and the Governor of Madras.

The world of coworking is undergoing a velvet revolution with the emergence since 2017 of new concepts designed by and for women: women-focused coworking spaces. After 6 months of field research across Europe, this book reveals the existence of a grassroots movement destined to mark the decade 2020. It is an invitation to plunge into the heart of the continent's most secret workspaces, to meet the pioneers who are fighting every day to shape a more inclusive future of work. What if sisterhood was the key?
In this hybrid work between market research and anthropology essay, author Ivanne Poussier attempts to map and shed light on this emerging phenomenon from various angles. She invites the reader to immerse in the heart of 30 coworking spaces created by and for women across 22 cities and 13 countries, to discover the new places and ways of working that respond to the specific challenges of entrepreneurship and freelancing for women. She leaves a large space for women's testimonies and convokes the words of experts and academics who have studied the issue of gender in the workplace. Finally, Ivanne opens the discussion on the challenges of inclusion in the future of work.

Описание: What characterised women's international co-operation in the interwar period? How did female activists from different countries and continents relate to one another? Marie Sandell here explores the changing experiences of women involved in the major international women's organisations - including the International Council of Women, International Alliance of Women, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and the International Federation of University Women - as well as the changing compositions and aims of the organisations themselves. Moving beyond an Anglo-American focus, Sandell analyses what the term 'international sisterhood' meant in this broader context, which for the first time included women from the beyond the Western world. Focusing on shifting identities, this book investigates how notions of 'sisterhood' were played out, and contested, during the interwar period and will be invaluable reading for scholars of women's history and twentieth-century world history.
