أقدم لك... الحركة النسوية

by Susan Alice Watkins, جمال الجزيري (ترجمة), شيرين أبو النجا (مراجعة علمية)

يدور هذا الكتاب حول الحركه النسائيه التى قامت لتدافع عن قضيه المرأه، فإذا تساءلنا: وما قضيه المرأه؟ وما الذى تريده النساء؟ لكانت الإجابه: المرأه تطالب بحقوقها كامله بوصفها موجودًا بشريًّا؛ فهى ترفض أن ينظر إليها على أنها موجود من الدرجه الثانيه، أو أنها جنس آخر يختلف عن الجنس البشرى الذى هو جنس الرجل بالدرجه الأولى. إنه كتاب ممتع يحاول أن يقنع من يسمون أنفسهم «بأعداء المرأه» أنه لا جدوى من المعارضه، وأنه سوف تنتصر«الرئه المعطله»، وسوف يتنفس المجتمع بالرئتين معًا فيزداد صلابه وقوه.

"Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence is not equal. We could survive without [women] better than they could without [men]. They are dependent on our feelings, on the price we put on their merits, on the value we set on their attractions and on their virtues. Thus women's entire education should be planned in relation to men. To please men, to be useful to them, to win their love and respect, to raise them as children, to care for them as adults, counsel and console them, make their lives sweet and pleasant," ~Jean-Jaques Rousseau, 1762

Although author Susan Alice Watkins gives respectful nods to pioneers like the Greek poet Sappho (650 b.c.e.) and Joan of Arc (1412-1431), her chronology of feminist history really begins with Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) and her publication of A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792). She follows this up with 200 years of highlights and lowlights of the excruciatingly slow evolution and progression of women's rights.

Why is this taking so long? Why is equal worth not common sense? I look at the state of the world today and I see very modest change, and, in some arenas, no change at all. My edition of Feminism for Beginners was published in 1992 and it does not speak well of Ronald Reagan and his misogynistic policies. I wonder how Watkins would respond to 2016 and the election of a man who makes Ronald Reagan look like Gloria Steinem?

This is a nice introduction to feminist history and thought. My only complaint is with the illustrations, some of which are a little sophomoric and crude. Subject matter this important deserves better artwork.

لسوءالترجمة قررت ان اقرأ النسخة الانجليزية
الكتاب مفيد ولكن لا يمكن اعتباره مفيد للذي يود ان يتعرف على النسوية
هو اشبه بتاريخ النسوية وليس تعريفاُ لمبادئها
لكوني قرأت عن النسوية الكثير فاني لم اكن بحاجة للتعر=ف على مبادئها
لكن الكتاب جعلني اتعرف على تاريخ نشوء النسوية والحركات النسوية المختلفة
ولكنه في الاعم تكلم عن النسوية في العالم الغربي وبالاخص امريكا وخصص العشر صفحات الاخيرة فقط للعالم الثالث
تكلم عن الfirst wave feminism
والsecond wave feminism
وتأثير كل من الحركتين
وخصص جزء تكلم فيه عن الامومة والادوار التي يحددها المجتمع للنساء بحجة انهن خلقنا هكذا

كتاب مهم وبسيط لمن يود ان يتعرف على تاريخ النسوية وليس لمن يود ان يتعرف على مبادئها

Good basic introduction to feminism. Tries to cover everything but of course that means that it only gives very brief details, however this makes it a good starting point from which to research further information about the bits that really interest you. The book only goes up to 1990 so not the best book for people interested in more recent feminist theory or achievements.

تاریخ مختصر موج‌های اولیه‌ی فمینیسم و تلاش زنان برای دسترسی به حق رای، تحصیل، مالکیت و... و همچنین معرفی فمینیست‌های برجسته و زندگینامه‌ی کوتاه و اعمال مهم‌شون

جالب‌ترین بخشش اونجا بود که زن‌هایی که بدون تحصیلات لازم معالجه می‌کردن اعدام می‌شدن، اونم در حالی که زن‌ها اصلا اجازه‌ی تحصیل نداشتن! :)

در کل زیادی مختصر بود و برای من بیشتر شبیه مرجعی بود که به کمکش با چهره‌های برجسته آشنا بشم و کتاب‌های خود اون‌ها رو بخونم یا مباحث جدیدی برای مطالعه پیدا کنم.

نظارت مردان بر باروری زنان و به همین واسطه بر زندگی و تمایلات جنسی او از دیرباز مرکز مظلومیت زنان بوده است. سیاست رسمی آزار و سرکوب علیه ماما و قابله ها در قرن شانزدهم شروع، یعنی زمانی که دولت های اروپایی قوانین خاصی را وضع کردند که زنان از حرفه ی پزشکی که به تازگی مجاز شده بود و نیز از حوزه ی جراحان مرد حذف شوند. در کتاب
Malleus Maleficarum
یا راهنمای شکار جادوگر سال 1484 آمده است: اگر زنی جسارت کند و بی آنکه تحصیلات لازم را دیده باشد به معالجه بپردازد، یک جادوگر است و باید بمیرد.

ovo mi je prva iz biblioteke “za početnike” (svašta tu, za početnike, ima-genetika, platon, ekologija, jung, sartre, marquis de sade, postmodernizam, lévi-strauss i tako.. za svakoga ponešto) i sasvim mi je bila okej. daje široki i ne baš duboki uvid u to što je feminizam, u povijest i razvoj feminizma (pisano je 1992., neki apdejt bi dobro došao), spominju se mnogi važni likovi (uglavnom ženski, naravno), počevši sa sor juanom inés de la cruz iz sredine XVII. st. pa nadalje... uglavnom, dobra knjiga kao start nekome koga feminizam interesira, od ove knjižice otvaraju se putevi daljnjeg, dubljeg i detaljnijeg proučavanja.

obogaćena je zanimljivim crtežima, grafikama, kolažima i fotomontažama koje ti pomažu da se snađeš među informacijama i da stvoriš neki vizualni identitet osoba o kojima čitaš.

veliki minus ide autoricama što nisu imenovali ženu čiji lik je masovno upotrebljavan i, uopće, vezan za feministički pokret, a kojeg su i same iskoristile za svoju naslovnicu.. u opisu naslovnice one pišu: “propagandni plakat iz sad-a u doba drugog svjetskog rata, kojim se žene poziva na poslove važne za obranu.” itd blabla.
sram vas bilo, cure, to vam uopće nije u feminističkom duhu. ta gđica ima ime i prezime.

The book broke all my surface level contemporary understanding of feminism. There are so many kinds of feminism. There are these heroines who have revolutionized the world by how resilient and progressive their ideologies were in as stubbornly a patriarchial world as 18th and 19th century.

Some of their thoughts and books are so amazingly beautiful like Greer's heterosexuality being a thing that supports oppresion, Sojourner truth's conviction and her Ain't I a woman speech despite her being illiterate, Ann Oadley's myth of motherhood, the thalatic pornography and fashion industry degrading women's identity. Radical feminist is what I am.

Romance novels, accepting social norms, marriage etc encouraging oppression. My mind's blown away.


There is so much to Feminism, equality just being a small aspect of it. Wow!

[Ape · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, it did what it said on the tin, and introduced feminism. So things were missed out, nothing was explored in detail (which was frustrating at times for me when something got interesting) but for an overview book you can't ask for a lot more. Although I was surprised by some of the things that were missed out. They mentioned the Pankhursts, but didn't mention the horse incident! Marie Stopes doesn't get a mention at all.

It was published in 1994 but some of it felt properly out of date. Ok, 1994 is almost 20 years ago (ek!) but there are moments in this book when it feels like we're still very much stuck in the seventies. And also moments when it felt as though they were teetering on the edge about to go into extremism, man-hating for the sake of it etc...

I liked the kind of magazine, funky style of representing chunks of history, thoughts and ideas. It made it entertaining to read and accessible.

Introducing Feminism provides a concise guide to the history and development of feminism, as well as an introduction to some key women's issues including body image, pornography and rape. I absolutely adore the format of this series: Exploring complex, theoretical topics through non-fiction comic books. This unique narrative and presentation, mixing words and images, offers the reader a new and captivating non-fiction experience. Importantly, Introducing Feminism recognises intersectional feminism, covering different experiences including black women's and lesbian liberation. However, this edition was published 20 years ago, and hence needs some updating towards the end. I believe a newer edition is available. All in all I loved reading this book and got emotional on several occasions. Women have come a long way, but our journey towards equality continues.

I think this was a great introduction to the last 200 years of feminism. It was very newbie friendly just as the title implies. The only thing that put me off were the illustrations.

نوع پرورش دختران و پسران باعث ایجاد طبیعتی در زنان و مردان میشود که جامعه(به خصوص مردسالار) آن را سرشت زن و مرد میداند که در این جوامع زن از هر نظر به جز زیبایی ظاهری و خانه داری و ایجاد دنیایی بهتر بای مردان در سایر زمینه ها در سطح فروتر قرار میگیرد.
تا زمان فیودالیسم که زن ها کنار مردها کار میکردند ولی با وظایف بیشتر و خانه داری و فرزند پروری ، انقلاب فرانسه و وارد کار شدن زنان و حقوق نابرابر، سخت گیری های مذهبی در برابر رفتار زنان برای ابراز شادی و خوشحالی و بیان نظرات و سخنرانی ، ممانعت در برابر تحصیل کردن زنان، حق رای زنان، سوء استفاده های جنسی و کالا بودن زن و برچسب های فاحشه و هرزگی به زن ها و بدون هیچ صفت و مجازاتی برای مردان، اندیشمندان و فیلسوفان بسیاری نیر که در برابر سلطه پادشاهی و برابری انسان های سخن رانده اند ولی باز زن را صرفا تا حد فراهم کردن آسایش برای مرد دانسته اند.
کتاب حاوی نمونه های تاریخی از زنان برجسته در حوزه های مختلف از قبیل ادبیات ،شعر، سیاست، جنگجویی، مبارزه ، و ...
کتابی بسیار خلاصه برای مرور سیر تلاش زنان فمینیست در تحقق بخشیدن به برابری زن و مرد و به دست آوردن حق زندگی کردن زنان.

"ما هرگز پی به تفاوت های واقعی نخواهیم برد ،مگر اینکه بیشترین انتخاب ممکن را در اختیا فرزندانمان بگذاریم تا دریابند چه میتوانند باشند و انجام دهند و به این شرط که به آن ها الگوهایی-نقش هایی را با حق انتخاب آزاد و برابر از والدین بدهیم."
جریان حمله به میس امریکا و اردوی صلح گرین هام از حوادث تاریخی جالب و تحسین برانگیز زنان بودند که در این کتاب مطلع شدم.

Written in the early 90’s during the emerging third wave, this primer is using the intersectional framework of that time, but 25 years later, many sections read as written in the 70’s. Overall it does what it sets out to do. It introduces the history and theories and people behind feminism. It’s heavily western centric but doesn’t completely ignore the struggle of womyn in other parts of the world. I’d be curious to read the updated edition. Overall I’d be happy to give this to anyone in my life who is up for learning about feminism theory and history.

[Tristan MacAvery · Rating 4 out of 5]

First released in 1992, this book could use a bit of updating. I will not make the idiotic claim that "things are so much better now," but some few rays of light have penetrated this dismal darkness. To borrow from those fighting against racism, "The struggle continues."

This book is still extremely valuable as (as the title tells us) an introduction to the concept -- an astonishing concept, to some males -- the women are people, and that the ridiculous ways by which men have tried to subjugate them continue today. Guys, read this book before you say that "women have come a long way..." (which they have) "...and it's not a problem anymore." (wrong answer!)

Is it a "spoiler" for me to tell you that, by the end of the book, you'll realize that there's still a helluva lot of work to do? I'm male, and therefore genuinely ignorant of what women must go through. I do my best to educate myself, yet I am still not able truly to understand the astonishing way in which women are treated. In my ignorance, I make ham-fisted attempts to behave positively and, on occasion, unintentionally offend. I'll keep trying. I'd like to think we all will.

I'll say this one thing, hoping that the right point is made: I will consider my male self "equal" to a woman when I can be forced to keep an unwanted parasite inside my body, suffering from hormonal extremes and debilitating physical issues, until finally going through hours of agony trying to pass a bowling ball through some orifice, then be told that I was a slut for not being married, that I'm to be blamed for being unable to afford childcare when I'm forced to work, to be condemned as a bad parent because I can get no healthcare for myself or my child, when male doctors tell me that "it's not that bad, you're just making excuses for being a weak female," and yet through all that successfully manage to raise an intelligent, caring, socially aware child ... who has a great chance of being shot to death at his school, or denied decent schools because our government wants stupid people that they can control, or worse yet, that *she* can't get into a good school because her trashy mom could only have raised her to be a slut just like her...

Woman, You bring forth the Goddess from which all Gods are born. We should remember, fellow males, that biologically speaking, a male is just a means by which females can create more females. When they can do that without us, we truly are doomed... and from the way we've been acting, it would probably be a damned good thing.

An accessible primer to the history and idea. Heavier on the history side of things, especially the right to vote, but they are all stories important to the movement and a reader already deep in the theory might benefit from knowing more of the roots and origins behind an idea. Very much a narrative of multi-generational effort and a culture history of gender, from Mary Wollstonecraft to Margaret Thatcher. The coverage is mostly on the British and the American but it includes sketches of the movement around the globe. As usual, a list of reference is at the back of the book for further study.

[bermudianabroad · Rating 2 out of 5]

Made me aware of some important women I'd previously never heard of, and gave enough information about what they accomplished. Overall I found it a little simplistic and light. Would have liked more hard facts. Felt very dated at times and ran a bit close to preachy propaganda. Some really outlandish turns of phrase that jarred. Would have liked more detail.

[Tani · Rating 3 out of 5]

I got this years and years ago and just stopped reading in the middle because it wasn't working terribly well for me. But I left my bookmark in it, and I finally decided that I wanted it back. So I finished the book! It's fine as far as these things go, but I felt like the partially graphic format didn't work very well for me. I didn't feel like the art added anything. And as far as being a history, it just felt disjointed. I know it's a very broad overview, but maybe too broad for me. I don't know that I will retain much of anything from it. It does serve well as a sampler that might give you a good idea of a time period or subject that you'd like to learn more about. It also makes an attempt to be multicultural in its approach, although it still does focus primarily on the USA and Britain. So, not a bad effort, but not as good as I had hoped for.

منذ أواخر القرن التاسع عشر بدأت ملامح الحركة النسوية تتشكل في مختلف أنحاء العالم، لا بوصفها صراعًا ضد الرجال ولا كصوت لـ"المسترجلات" أو "غير الأسوياء" كما حاول الخطاب الذكوري التقليدي أن يصورها، بل كتحرّك اجتماعي وفكري واسع هدفه الأساسي إصلاح اختلال تاريخي عميق في موازين الحقوق والفرص.
ظهرت النسوية حين أدركت النساء أن ما يُمنح لهن من هامش في التعليم والعمل والمشاركة العامة لا يتجاوز الفتات، وأن القوانين والممارسات السائدة تبقيهن في خانة التابع لا الشريك. ولذلك حملت الحركة منذ بداياتها مطالب واضحة ومشروعة: حق التعلم، حق التملك، حق العمل، الحق في سلامة الجسد، الحق في المشاركة السياسية، والحق في حياة إنسانية كريمة لا تُختزل في دور واحد ولا تحجب داخل بيت واحد.
ومع اتساع الوعي، تطورت النسوية وأخذت أشكالًا مختلفة تبعًا لثقافات الشعوب، وأثبت التاريخ أن النسوية كانت ولا تزال واحدة من أهم الحركات التي دفعت بالمجتمعات نحو العدالة والوعي.
كتاب مذهل، لكن الترجمة السيئة حرمته من الخمس نجوم.
