Empowerment Theory and Long-Living Women
Empowerment theory is central to social work and to feminist gerontology. Yet an emphasis on increasing power and control over the circumstances of one's life does not neatly “fit” the involuntary bodily realities that figure centrally in the experiences of late age. The project of this article is to argue that the paradox of late life empowerment is that it requires acceptance and affirmation of the weak, suffering, and uncontrollable body
Empowerment and long-living women
Human Behavior and Commercial Culture
While the new economic globalization provides the overarching context for human development, the influence of political economy on personal values, beliefs, and behaviors is not usually directly addressed in the HBSE texts and coursework. Making the connections between the dimly visible structures of global capitalism and the lives of students and clients in the U.S. is challenging. This paper makes a case for the inclusion of content on globaliz…
Saying No
The experiences of intentionally childless heterosexual women are often misunderstood and misnamed. Women who purposefully do not have children are not taken on their own terms but are measured by the idealized standard of motherhood and thus found deficient. Guided by the assumptions of a feminist poststructuralism, two contradictory experiences that are predictable for many non-mothers are redescribed. One experience, the ‘wavering no’, has to …
Intentionally Childless Women
Most scholarly work on women's development assumes or documents the "reproduction of mothering." The existence of women who resist motherhood challenges universalizing assumptions advanced by these theories. This article draws on the life stories of 34 intentionally childless married women to paint a more contradictory picture of women's development that allows for the variations in desires, talents, and orientations that actually occur among wom…
From Cycle to Syndrome and Back Again
Although the validity of a prevalent cyclical syndrome among women is questionable, commercial exploitation causes many women to accept the construct as fact. The issue is not one of health alone; it is a political issue of substantial magnitude. Without ignoring or denying women's negative premenstrual conditions, social workers can resist-and help other women resist-the "medicalization" of the premenstruum. The intent of this article is to open…
Cause Is Function
The problem and the prospect for social work lie with its dual focus on individual and on societal change. The difficulty that has persisted throughout its history has been that of connecting these two levels of intervention-in theory and in practice. The feminist movement, like social work, has a dual focus, yet, unlike social work, feminists have not been characterized by sharp divisions between personal service provision and social action. Thu…
