From Feminist Knowing to Feminist Action:
A Five Session Program offered by Kathleen Barry

What if we feminists gathered in all of our ethnicities, nationalities, and cultures to envision the world we want to live in while living the liberation we are fighting for?  What would be the changes we require/demand at home, in the community and around the world?  And then, what if we feminists together began to build strategies to make the changes that would bring about this new world? Wouldn’t that be a Women’s Revolution?

Language and feminism

03/02/2023

The feminist movement and its supporters have used language, like other political movements, to advance feminist causes. Among other things, feminists have given speeches, started periodicals, created catchphrases, and created theoretical ideas to comprehend the nature of the oppression of women. However, in contrast to other political campaigns, the feminist movement has also pointed out language as one of its primary obstacles, highlighting how it actively contributes to the oppression of women and makes the fight for equality, empowerment, and freedom more difficult. Continue reading…


The English Language Publishing World: Author's and online English tutor viewpoints

25/07/2022

The English language versions of a book published by both a British and an American publisher may be sold in the same nation, often at competitive prices. It may appear cozy in hindsight, but at the time, no one was really concerned about the free market because English wasn't yet widely learned or established as the universal language. It was also before the advent of digital technology. The market for English language instruction boomed a few years ago. The number of students who wish to learn English as well as the number of English teachers both increase yearly. Online English tutoring is becoming more and more popular.

The right to translate and publish a book in a different language is a subsidiary right that has been covered individually (see Subsidiary Rights). Continue reading…

Welcome –   

Making War, Remaking Men

From the U.S. civil rights movement to global liberation of women, my activism is focused on liberation and self-determination which has brought me to my latest book, Unmaking War, Remaking Men.  I begin by trying to envision a future of peace and equality as well as freedom from violence and exploitation.  I get there by listening carefully and with empathy to women's stories, soldiers' testimonies and victims experiences.  Grounding in real life stories with their yearning for freedom and liberation begins the quest for a new kind of future.

The politics of empathy that emerges from Unmaking War, Remaking Men takes us from stories to social structures, from masculinity to the military, from state leadership to governments that violate human rights. In exposing women's inequality and human rights violations of women, as I did in Female Sexual Slavery and Prostitution of Sexuality, we discover new paths to human rights and equality. This is what led me to develop the Convention Against Sexual Exploitation which now serves as a model for state laws which have curtailed prostitution and trafficking in several countries. 

Whether it is the network of programs around the world for women and children escaping prostitution or the half-century of campaigns by Susan B. Anthony for women's rights and equality, I am privileged to be part of the global feminist activism that is changing the world.  I invite you, if you have not done so already, to be part of the solution by finding the activism that best suits you for unmaking war, remaking men.
