The Translation of the Seventh Part of A Companion to Gender Studies with Analytical Introduction

The present study includes the translation of four articles from the book of Gender Studies. The authors of this book try to explore current issues in the field of gender using the latest research in the field of gender and women. In the first article, entitled Childbearing, the issues of women’s education and employment and their impact on pregnancy and reproduction and population growth rate are discussed. The author believes that in the matter of childbearing, a person’s gender is more important than any other field because it is women who get pregnant, not men. The second article, entitled Disability, conveys the concept that gender discrimination against a disabled woman is greater than a healthy woman. When gender and disability intersect, women with disabilities often lose all of their gender identity. The third article is about health. This article states that women cannot maintain their mental or physical health without access to the resources needed to regulate fertility, ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery. One of the issues addressed in this article is the impact of gender discrimination and poverty on women’s health. The fourth article is entitled Sports. In this article, an old belief is mentioned, which considers sports as masculine and a factor for the superiority and domination of men over women. This article also addresses the issue of lesbians and sports. In general, in these few articles, women’s issues are addressed from new perspectives. Topics are told that reflect a more different perspective on women’s issues. It is hoped that reading these articles will be useful and effective in examining women’s issues from newer perspectives.
