        A Room of One's Own

        by Virginia Woolf

        »Fünfhundert Pfund im Jahr und ein eigenes Zimmer« sind die Voraussetzung dafür, dass auch Frauen große Literatur produzieren können: Brillant und überaus amüsant beschreibt Virginia Woolf 1929 in ihrem Essay A Room of one’s own die Lage der Frauen aus der Perspektive einer fiktiven Schriftstellerin. Hätte Shakespeare eine Schwester gehabt, ebenso begabt wie er, wie wäre es ihr ergangen? Und was brauchen Frauen, um künstlerisch tätig sein zu können? A room of one’s own wurde sehr schnell zu einem der klassischen Texte der Frauenbewegung und weltweit ein großer Erfolg.

        Small animal veterinarians are increasingly taking on caseloads that include farm animals, with cases being presented by local hobby farmers, smallholders, and 'novelty pet' owners.

Ideal for looking up information during a consult, or for use as a refresher guide and continuing professional development resource, this book is an important tool for veterinarians in small and mixed practices.

        'The industrialized designer'

        Gender, identity and professionalization in Britain and the United States, 1930-80

        by Leah Armstrong

        What does it mean to be called an industrial designer? This book traces the remarkable rise of this professional identity in historical perspective from a position of anonymity in the early twentieth century, to mid-century professionalisation, to decline and disintegration by 1980. Drawing on new, extensive, original archival research, it uncovers the history of a profession in a state of re-invention, 1930-1980 in Britain and the United States. The book tests assumptions about the relationship between the professions in the two countries, bringing them into comparative historical perspective for the first time. The gendered dynamics of professionalisation and their interaction with the representation of the heroic male designer are interrogated and critically examined. Building on new gender perspectives to the history of the industrial design profession, the book calls for a re-examination of the limits and boundaries of what constitutes professional identity and work.
