Religion, Gender and Citizenship
How do religious women talk about and practise citizenship? How is religion linked to gender and nationality? What are their views on gender equality, women's movements and feminism? Via interviews wi
Gendered Citizenship in a Multidimensional Perspective
This article discusses the challenges that continue to exist in the struggle for full and equal citizenship in Norway, focusing particularly on the multidimensional citizenship that has been central to the overarching project of women's movements. It reports on comparative research on the social, economic, multicultural, and intimate dimensions of citizenship which offers grounds to regard Norway as an example of good practice and supportive poli…
Towards Strategic Sisterhood on Balanced Terms
‘The women’s movement’ has never been a unified movement, be it at transnational, national, regional or local levels of mobilisation and activism, as women’s interests have diverged and women have mobilised within different groups and organisations emphasising a plethora of issues, strategies and claims. The diversity of women’s movements offers women of various backgrounds and locations a sense of belonging as well as political representation th…
Political Opportunities and Violence against Women
How have women’s movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom attempted to influence gender policy, and how have they succeeded? The citation above is one example of a ‘verdict’, a conditionally excited opinion. In order to grasp how women’s movement actors perceive and assess the policy influence of their activism, we have been inspired by approaches that emphasise political institutions, framing processes and discourses (McAdam et al. 1996…
Seeking Policy Impact
In this chapter we explore women’s movements’ efforts to change public policies in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom. Influencing government is not necessarily women’s organisations’ most urgent raison d’être,1 and yet, to challenge public policy is sometimes central to their aims. This was the case after the fall of Franco in 1975, when the feminist movements in Spain mobilised to re-establish women’s autonomy and rights in private and public…
Citizenship, Recognition and Justice
Modern democracies are based on the principle of self-determination, which implies that all citizens are entitled to have a voice, ‘to not only be subject but the author of its laws’ (Benhabib 2004: 20). The right to have a voice does not, however, necessarily imply equal rights in practice, nor does citizenship include all adults. Women’s rights are restricted in various ways, and so are the citizenship rights of refugees, asylum seekers, indige…
Women’s Movements, Gender Equality, Citizenship and Ethnic Diversity in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom
This book examines how relations between ethnic ‘majority’ and ‘minority’ women’s organisations1 in contemporary women’s movements, as well as relations between women’s movements and governments in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom, have developed and are being talked about by women’s movement activists. Our focus on these relations originates from an interest in the mobilisation of white, Black, migrant, indigenous, national and ethnic minori…
Women’s Movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom
Due to their origin in different historical and socio-political contexts, women’s movements in Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom vary in terms of the timing of their emergence, the issues they have focused on, the timing of their claims-making, their capability to impact upon policymaking and their access to women’s and gender policy agencies. At the same time, women’s movements in these three countries share several characteristics, such as t…
Conclusion
Feminist theories of citizenship consider recognition, participation, inclusion and belonging as important aspects of citizenship practices. Women’s movements themselves provide arenas in which citizenship is lived and negotiated, and the demands voiced by women’s movements involve struggles over understandings and practices of citizenship. In this book we have examined practiced, or lived, citizenship in two contexts: firstly, within women’s mov…
Researching Women’s Movements
This book explores the demands and practices which have emerged from ‘second wave’ women’s movements from the late 1960s and onwards by focusing on relations between majoritised and minoritised women’s movement organisations, and on relations between women’s movement organisations and the state. We have chosen Spain, Norway and the United Kingdom — countries with very different migration histories and gender regimes — as empirical contexts for ou…

Norsk kvinne- og kjønnsforskning – med tidsskriftet som prisme
Kvinner og politikk i Norden - noen historiografiske refleksjoner
Har tilgangsvinklen i statsvidenskabelig kvindeforskning ændret sig fra statspessimisme til aktørorienteret optimisme? Hvor står patriarkatsdiskussionen i dag? Er der grundlag for at afvise Harriet Holters gamle tese om, at kvinder kommer ind i krympende institutioner
A Feminist Utopia
Project Alternative Future is funded by the Norwegian parliament, and its aim is partly the construction of a model for an alternative society It is a Utopian project in the best meaning of the concept. Like Plato's ideal society, the project attempts to combine ambitious visions and concrete thinking. This paper is a discussion of feminist principles on which to base a model for a fundamentally different society. Feminism, as distinct from woman…
Reproduktion, omsorgsrationalitet och estetik - en feministisk utopi
Den feministiska kritiken av kvinnors villkor här och nu måste tydligare peka mot framtiden. Hur ser våra visioner av det goda samhället ut? Kring vilka värden och principer skall det byggas? Och hur ska vi nå dit ? Beatrice Halsaa svarar med att teckna en alternativ framtid
Har kvinnor gemensamma intressen
Finns det objektiva kvinnointressen? Det frågar Beatrice Halsaa, som i sin artikel utgår från Anna G Jonas do ttirs diskussion av intressebegreppet i K VT 2/85. Medan Jönasdöttir betonar kvinnors intresse av att som grupp delta i politiken, vill Halsaa definiera innehållet i kvinnointressena. Kvinnors ansvar för den biologiska och sociala reproduktionen är då hennes utgångspunkt
