Flirting with Danger
How young women make sense of, resist, and negotiate
conflicting messages on female sexuality and sexual agency
In Flirting with Danger , Lynn M. Phillips explores
how young women make sense of, resist, and negotiate conflicting
cultural messages about sexual agency, responsibility, aggression,
and desire. How do women develop their ideas about sex, love, and
domination? Why do they express feminist views condemning male
violence in the abstract, but often adamantly refuse to name their
own violent and exploitive encounters as abuse, rape, or
victimization? Based on in-depth individual and collective
interviews with a racially and culturally diverse sample of
college-aged women, Flirting with Danger sheds
valuable light on the cultural lenses through which young women
interpret their sexual encounters and their experiences of male
aggression in heterosexual relationships. Phillips makes an
important contribution to the fields of female and adolescent
sexuality, feminist theory, and feminist method. The volume will
also be of particular use to advocates seeking to design prevention
and intervention programs which speak to the complex needs of women
grappling with questions of sexuality and violence.

Inventing equal opportunity
Equal opportunity in the workplace is thought to be the direct legacy of the civil rights and feminist movements and the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Yet, as Frank Dobbin demonstrates, corporate personnel experts--not Congress or the courts--were the ones who determined what equal opportunity meant in practice, designing changes in how employers hire, promote, and fire workers, and ultimately defining what discrimination is, and is not, in the American imagination.
Dobbin shows how Congress and the courts merely endorsed programs devised by corporate personnel. He traces how the first measures were adopted by military contractors worried that the Kennedy administration would cancel their contracts if they didn't take \"affirmative action\" to end discrimination. These measures built on existing personnel programs, many designed to prevent bias against unionists. Dobbin follows the changes in the law as personnel experts invented one wave after another of equal opportunity programs. He examines how corporate personnel formalized hiring and promotion practices in the 1970s to eradicate bias by managers; how in the 1980s they answered Ronald Reagan's threat to end affirmative action by recasting their efforts as diversity-management programs; and how the growing presence of women in the newly named human resources profession has contributed to a focus on sexual harassment and work/life issues.
Inventing Equal Opportunityreveals how the personnel profession devised--and ultimately transformed--our understanding of discrimination.
