Abstract:

This thesis reports on a study of women married to Royal Navy personnel and resident in the West of England and Wales. The analyses are based on data derived from secondary sources, a questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews, the field-work having been conducted between January 1985 and April 1986. Past research has concentrated on the emotional reaction of wives to husband absence, its relationship to anxiety and depression. This thesis is, however, concerned with the social situation of wives intermittently without husbands. It is an exploration of the marital and domestic consequences of husband absence and the implications it has for the wider relationships of wives periodically without husbands. A distinction is drawn between long-term absences of weeks and often months and short-term, weekday absences. - Here the evidence suggests that short but frequent absences are the most disruptive and "weekend marriages" the least satisfactory. Husband absence is seen to impact deeply into the life course experiences of wives; it increases their domestic powers and responsibilities, especially if they are resident in private housing; it alters relationships with children and the contexts of child-rearing; it effect the employment opportunities and experiences of wives; it transforms domestic routines and household timetables; and it influences the social contacts and neighbouring relations of wives, leaving wives without husbands relatively isolated members of the community. The thesis also suggests that although separation and absence have been the foci of past concern, reunion and reintegration are equally problematic. The findings provide case study information on a particular set of marital experiences and relate to wider perspectives on the construction of marriage and wifehood.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores divorce and judicial separation as it occurred in nineteenth-century Scotland, between the years 1830 and 1890, predating the phenomenon it came to be in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As Scotland’s history has frequently been incorporated within a general history of Great Britain, this thesis separates it from the widely researched accounts of marriage and marital breakdown in England to highlight the different approach to regulating marriage, divorce and separation under Scots law. Applying Scotland’s distinctive legal, demographic and economic context has provided a social and gender history of marriage breakdown unique to the country, and filled a historiographical gap for the nineteenth century. This research will be presented through separate analyses of divorce for adultery, desertion—both official and unofficial, and marital cruelty in the civil and criminal courts. To present individual experiences inside the courtroom, Court of Session divorce and separation cases are used and supplemented with newspaper accounts of Court of Session trials. To provide context to the related discourses, Parliamentary papers and newspaper articles are used. Lastly, to address the unofficial instances of marital breakdown, criminal court trials of wifebeating and poor relief applications from deserted wives are also analysed. This thesis argues that despite comparably liberal divorce and separation laws established in the sixteenth century, legal, economic, social and cultural factors and discourses imposed on the accessibility of these legal forms of marital breakdown.

Abstract:

There is presently an increasing trend towards deinstitutionalization of several different populations, including physically disabled adults. Although a variety of staffed resources provide for alternative care, 'home' and 'family' remain the primary resource in the community based care system. Given that the family of the 1980's has a decreased capacity to care due to such factors as increased mobility and loss of extended family networks we must be concerned with the continued viability of this resource. And, given that 'family’ is often a euphemism for 'nearest female relative' and that women's role in society has changed markedly in recent years the issue of women as caregivers is one of particularly urgent concern. This study is based on extensive interviews with eight women caring for disabled husbands. The interview schedule and methodology facilitated descriptive data regarding caregiving tasks as well as a comprehensive exploration of what was problematic about the day to day reality of caregiving for these women. The data analysis identified struggling with the 'role' of wife-caregiver, isolation and a changed marital dynamic as primary themes in the process of caregiving. This study provides some insight into what is problematic about caregiving for these wives and some suggestions for improving social work practice and providing more effective services in relation to this population.

Thompson, Anne. "Parish clergy wives in Elizabethan England." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2015. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/79964/.

Full text

Abstract:

This study examines the lived experience and perceptions of the wives of the Elizabethan parish clergy following the introduction of clerical marriage. It challenges the widespread, but mistaken conviction that the first ministers’ wives have vanished from the historical record and shifts the emphasis from the institution to the individual. This has been achieved by consulting a large and heterogeneous collection of archival material including more than 1000 parish registers, 1000 wills, marriage licences, church court records, memorials and some newly-discovered certificates for ministers’ wives. This body of evidence, assembled from twelve dioceses in the southern province and from the archbishopric of York, demonstrates that the story of parish clergy wives can indeed be recovered. Qualitative and statistical analyses of social origin, considered assessments of the extent and nature of the abuse aimed at minister’s wives and a re-evaluation of the persistence, structure and significance of the letter testimonial refute most of the common assumptions about clergy wives derived from speculation and generalization. The impact of clerical marriage on charitable giving is evaluated in relation to the demands of family and the lack of provision for the clergy widow. Scrutiny of clerical courtship, relationships within the clerical household and involvement with her husband’s pastoral ministry enables us to chart the emerging importance of the clergy wife and changing attitudes towards her. Engagement with such extensive archival material exposes the close involvement of ministers’ wives with the wider community and reveals the agency of the women themselves in the advent and evolution of their role. Women who have hitherto been defined by their supposed obscurity and unsuitability are shown to have anticipated and exhibited the character, virtues and duties associated with the archetypal clergy wife of later centuries. The breadth of this investigation, therefore, uncovers and explores a neglected but crucial aspect of religious, social and women’s history.

Abstract:

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological research study was to determine the psychological and emotional effects of female deployment on male spouses. The current research was designed to study the emotional and psychological experiences of male spouses of deployed women. The research question was focused on understanding the lived experience of the male spouses of their deployed active duty wives. The intent was to describe male spouses' lived experiences, focusing on mental health, physical health, marital problems, caregiving, and other reintegration related problems as well as the role transfer stress experienced by these male spouses of deployed wives. Gender role theory was the theoretical framework chosen for this study to understand role transfer issues faced by the male spouse of a deployed woman. Fifteen male spouses were interviewed in 1-on-1 interviews to gain knowledge of their emotional and psychological stressors related to spouse deployment. The interview data were analyzed for common themes of their lived experiences. The results of the data were greater understanding of the male spouses lived experiences of being a spouse of an active duty deployed spouse, as well as how better to help this population. The study highlights the understanding that the experiences of the spouse of a deployed service member is critically important for the government and society alike. Civilian husbands of deployed military women have unique gender-specific needs which are poorly addressed, leading to unnecessary marital tension for all parties. Implications for positive social change included findings that provided insight needed to assist the male spouse of a deployed woman.

Abstract:

This thesis uses data obtained from the Rand Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to examine whether husbands and wives will decide to retire jointly or separately. This paper uses the new data from 1992 to 2006 to show the current prevailing retirement patterns of older couples and estimates a joint retirement function to find out factors that would affect the retirement decisions. This thesis shows 24.29% of couples with each spouse having career jobs prefer retiring jointly. Besides this paper finds both wivesâ earnings before retirement and husbandsâ incomes after retirement have negative effects on the decision to jointly retire, while wivesâ retirement incomes have positive effects.

Abstract:

In order to locate the particular financial problems faced by prisoner of war families, the first two chapters of the thesis address the general development of service allowances up to and during the Second World War. Chapters three and four then focus on the experience of prisoner of war families within this context. The remaining chapters move away from financial consideration to the equally important question of how information was disseminated to prisoner of war families through both official and unofficial sources. In the final chapter the impact of the Second World War on service allowances is reviewed. The thesis concludes that the Second World War had little impact on government treatment of prisoner of war families. At least in part, this is attributable to government perceptions of service families as a whole. During the course of the war, the need to ensure that servicemen performed as efficiently as possible led to a perceived duty on the part of the State to maintain their families. Once the conflict had ended, this responsibility devolved to the individual servicemen themselves. In addition, for prisoner of war families, the government had not encouraged servicemen to consider the possibility of being taken captive and make adequate financial provision for their families in this eventuality. Not until after the Korean War did the State acknowledge its responsibility to prepare both men and their families for the possibility of capture.

Abstract:

When military members deploy or temporarily relocate, spouses are left behind to maintain not only their normal day-to-day activities, but also assume the responsibilities of the absent spouse. In cases such as these potentially stressful events, it is important to have adequate support networks within the community to assist individuals in sustaining a sense of personal well-being. The data source of the study is the 2001 Survey of Army Families IV. The survey focuses on randomly selected wives of active duty Army members (n=6451). The research model for this study includes wives' adaptation as the criterion variable, with community connections as independent variables and a set of contextual influence measures also considered as independent variables. Regression analysis for the entire sample indicated that wives with greater adaptation utilized more formal network resources. Among wives of officers, the most important predictors were volunteering and having a close confidant, whereas among wives of enlisted military members most important factors were participating with the Family Readiness Group and employment status.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the lives of key female members of the Bolshevik elite from the revolutionary movement’s beginnings to the time of Stalin’s death. Through analysing the attitudes and contributions of Bolshevik elite women – most particularly the wives of Lenin, Molotov, Voroshilov and Bukharin – it not only provides for a descriptive account of these individual lives, their changing attitudes and activities, but also a more broad-ranging, social handle on the evolution of elite society in the Soviet Union and the changing nature of the Bolshevik elite both physically and ideationally. Chapters one and two focus on the physical and ideological foundations of the Bolshevik marriage. Chapter one traces the ideological approach of the Bolsheviks towards marriage and the family, examining pre-revolutionary socialist positions in relation to women and the family and establishing a benchmark for how the Bolsheviks wished to approach the ‘woman question’. Chapter two examines the nature of the Bolshevik elite marriage from its inception to the coming of the revolution, dwelling particularly on the different pre-revolutionary experiences of Yekaterina Voroshilova and Nadezhda Krupskaya. Chapters three and four then analyse two key areas of wives’ everyday lives during the interwar years. Chapter three looks at the work that Bolshevik wives undertook and how the nature of their employment changed from the 1920s to the 1930s. Chapter four, through examining the writings of wives such as Voroshilova, Larina and Ordzhonikidze, focuses upon how wives viewed themselves, their responsibilities as members of the Bolshevik elite and the position of women in Soviet society. The final two chapters of this thesis explore the changing nature of elite society in this period and its relationship to Soviet society at large. Chapter five investigates the changing composition of the elite and the specific and general effects of the purges upon its nature. Directly, the chapter examines the lives of Zhemchuzhina, Larina and Pyatnitskaya as wives that were repressed during this period, while more broadly it considers the occupation of the House on the Embankment in the 1930s and the changing structure of Bolshevik elite society. Chapter six focuses on the evolution of Soviet society in the interwar period and how the experiences of Bolshevik elite wives differed from those of ‘mainstream’ Russian women. While previous studies of the Bolshevik elite have focussed upon men’s political lives and investigations of Soviet women’s policy and its shifts under Stalin have mainly concentrated upon describing changes in realist terms, this thesis demonstrates that not only is an evaluation of wives’ lives crucial to a fuller understanding of the Bolshevik elite, but that by comprehending the personal attitudes and values of members of the Bolshevik elite society, particularly with regards to women and the family, a more informed perspective on the reasons for changes in Soviet women’s policy during the interwar period may be arrived at.

Abstract:

The adjustment of sojourning spouses appears to be critical to the adjustment of their partners in the relocation; yet adjusting to international relocation is often reported to be a challenging process. The present project comprises a systematic review of research on spouse adjustment in international relocations(Study 1) and an empirical study among a sample of 135 Japanese sojourning housewives in Hong Kong(Study 2). Study 1found that adjustment was measured differently in the past research of sojourning spouse adjustment, and multiple individual, interpersonal and situational or environmental factors have been found to be associated with the adjustment of spouse after relocation. Study 2found that personal coping style was associated with psychological adjustment, while a coping style that focuses on problem solving, along with marital satisfaction and sociocultural interaction, emerged as significant predictors of satisfaction with life. Homemaking stressors were found to be negatively associated with psychological adjustment, and a significant interaction effect with marital satisfaction is found. Dyadic trust was found to contribute significantly to psychological well-being, and its effect was fully mediated by marital satisfaction. Overall speaking, existing models of spousal adjustment in expatriation seem to apply to the Japanese population studied.

Abstract:

Background: Many partners of stroke survivors assume the role of informal caregiver. Little is known about how this informal care-giving role impacts on the partnership relationship. Method: A systematic literature review evaluated the evidence of fourteen studies, ten quantitative and four qualitative, looking at the psychological impact of informal caregiving on the partnership relationship. Evidence from the wider informal caregiving population suggested that caregivers experience high levels of depression, reduced psychological functioning and deterioration in interpersonal relationships however this review found a paucity of clear and robust evidence for the spousal caregiver as distinct from other familial caregivers. To address this gap within the literature, a qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews to investigate the lived experience of six female spousal caregivers whose husbands had survived a stroke. The transcribed interviews were analysed using a process of thematic analysis as described by Braun and Clarke (2006). Results: Spouses of stroke survivors experienced a dramatic change in their relationship after their partner’s stroke. Primary and secondary loss, increased responsibility, adaptation, evaluation and acceptance themes were developed into a dynamic thematic map. The loss of aspects of both their husband’s traditional role and the reflexive nature of the relationship impacted on the quality of the relationship as a whole. The processes of evaluation and adaptation both used talking as an important strategy. Conclusions: Little is known about the caregiving trajectory for spousal partners of stroke survivors. The current study makes a significant contribution to the evidence base and suggests that the changing nature of the partnership’s interpersonal dynamics may underpin some of the negative outcomes for spousal caregivers and that a greater understanding of these underlying processes may help services to provide appropriate and timely support to this population.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo central desenvolver uma investigação sobre a vida profissional da mulher do militar e apoiou-se na literatura que aponta que a carreira no Exército apresenta demandas que se estendem a toda a família. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada com oito esposas de oficiais do Exército brasileiro, com idades entre vinte e cinco e quarenta e três anos, com formação e experiência profissional. A partir da análise do conteúdo das entrevistas, concluímos que essas demandas, especialmente os frequentes deslocamentos geográficos, têm aumentado as dificuldades das mulheres em conciliar a vida profissional e familiar/conjugal. As transferências foram associadas a perdas, estagnação e retrocesso nas carreiras. A imprevisibilidade marca a vida das entrevistadas, gerando insegurança quanto aos projetos, além de sentimentos de incerteza, falta de controle e limitação no tocante ao próprio destino. A distância dos familiares e, em muitos momentos, dos cônjuges tem influenciado a relação dessas mulheres com suas carreiras, passando elas a priorizar empregos com maior flexibilidade de horário ou abrindo mão de trabalhar, ao menos temporariamente. Mesmo com o incentivo dos maridos e com todos os benefícios que foram atribuídos ao trabalho feminino, os interesses da carreira do militar estão sempre em primeiro plano, orientando as decisões mais significativas dos casais. O modelo de família idealizado pelo Exército, a adesão das esposas aos valores da instituição e à carreira do militar contribuem para que as mulheres secundem os maridos, adaptem suas carreiras às deles e, muitas vezes, abdiquem de seus próprios projetos profissionais. Constatou-se que há ambivalência de sentimentos relacionados a ser mulher de militar. As mulheres reconhecem que possuem papel relevante na carreira dos maridos, mas revelam sentimentos de pesar pelos projetos profissionais colocados em segundo plano ou abandonados.
This study s objective is to develop a research on the professional lives of military wives. It was based on the literature that indicates that a career in the Army presents demands that involve the whole family. The field research was conducted with the participation of eight officer s wives of the Brazilian Army, ages between twenty-five and forty-three, all of them having a major degree and professional experience. Using the content analysis, we conclude that these demands, especially the frequent geographic moving, have increased women s difficulties in reconciling work, family, and marital life. The constant changes of address were associated with loss, stagnation and retrogression in careers. Unpredictability makes an impression in the interviewees lives, leaving them insecure about their projects, in addition to feelings of uncertainty, lack of control and limitation on their own destiny. The distance from relatives, and in many cases also from the spouses, has influenced the relationship of these women with their careers, making them prioritize jobs with more flexible hours or giving up working at all, at least temporarily. Even with the encouragement of their husbands and all the benefits that have been attributed to women s work, the interests of the military career of their husband are always in the foreground, guiding the most significant couple decisions. The family model devised by the Army, the requirement of wives adherence to the values of the institution and to their husbands military career, they all contribute to women s submission, so wives adapt their professional lives and often abdicate of their own work projects. We can conclude that there is an ambivalence of feelings related to being a military wife. Women recognize that they have an important role in their husbands careers, but they also show feelings of regret about their own professional projects, placed in the background or abandoned.

Abstract:

This research is an ethnography of a British Army regiment from the perspective of women married to servicemen. Its aim is to question wives's power and positionality vis-à-vis the military institution and consider the implications for how to understand the everyday operation of military power. The project is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted on and around a regimental camp in Germany during a period when the regiment’s soldiers were also deployed in Afghanistan. As social relations are spun across multiple times and spaces, it analyses women's negotiation of presence and absence, home and away, and distance and proximity. Women married to servicemen emerge as mobile subjects, whose gendered labour and identities serve to trouble the boundary between the military and civilian 'spheres'. The research explores multiple conditions for women's encounters with military presence on a day-to-day basis, from the mandate for international migration and the regiment’s production of social cohesion, to the formal hierarchy of rank and the temporal and spatial registers of an operational tour. The analysis highlights the dependence of these structures on a military-sexual division of labour, at the same time as women can be argued to mobilise social, cultural and discursive resources to appropriate or transcend the place they are allocated in a military social order. It is in this sense that they might be argued to bargain with the terms of their militarisation.

Abstract:

In 1826, just prior to the colonisation of Western Australia, a disparate group of men, women and children lived on islands adjacent to what is now called Albany. They were sealers, abandoned by their bosses who had brought them from Bass Strait on the schooners Governor Brisbane and the Hunter. The small community included people native to New Zealand, Van Diemen’s Land, Canada, North America, Western Australia and England. Exiles and Island Wives is concerned with investigating the people whom I call the Breaksea Islanders. As none of them left written records, there are three threads of this investigation: historical research, historical fiction and a discussion on the methodology of writing historical fiction. The historical research includes individual biographies of the Breaksea Islanders and an extrapolation of their involvement of the events of 1826 – 1827, when Major Edmund Lockyer arrived in Albany aboard the Amity to annexe the western part of the continent. Here I also discuss the Aboriginal women’s responses to abduction and trauma. The Aboriginal women and children in the small sealing community possessed little autonomy over their own lives and so the discussion on history and fiction is partly concerned with the portrayal of women’s agency in historical fiction. I also discuss the naming of Indigenous and non-Indigenous characters by both writers and people in positions of colonial power and, using Foucault’s Of Other spaces, discuss the cohesive factors unique to communities who live on boats and islands. The historical fiction component is the novel Exiles, based on the people and events in 1826 King George Sound. The purpose of the historical fiction is to reveal aspects of the Breaksea Islanders’ lives and motivations that may not be accessible through historical research. The Breaksea Islanders silence on history’s page meant they have been previously portrayed through the lens of government and newspaper reports, and by men in positions of colonial power. The novel seeks to invert this situation by centralising the lives of the Breaksea Islanders. The fiction component of this thesis was published by Fremantle Press in 2016 as the novel The Sound.

Abstract:

Little Women and Good Wives is a classic children’s novel published in the late nineteenth century by American writer Louise May Alcott. The book concerns the lives, loves and marriages of four sisters growing up during the American Civil War. Alcott portrays four sisters in the book. They are Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. In this essay, Jo’s characteristics will be compared and contrasted with those of her three sisters. The purpose of this comparison is to demonstrate how Jo shows her non-femininity and to what extent she diverges from the contemporary expectations of women. Furthermore, based on the close reading of the novel and historical research, this essay will discuss whether Jo’s choice of writing, her main meanings of entering the man’s world is realistic.

Abstract:

Introduction: Whilst there is much research on the economic aspects of international migration, less priority is given to the effects on wives left behind in social and health aspects. This study examines and explores the consequences of international migration on left-behind wives regarding depression, autonomy and health service utilisation. Methods: A sequential mixed-methods study design was employed for the study. A total of 800 households were surveyed (400 migrants and 400 non-migrants) followed by 14 semi-structured interviews. Researcher administered questionnaires were used to collect data for depression, autonomy and health service utilisation and were analysed using multivariate logistic regression to identify significant associations. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted within the surveyed sample and analysed by thematic analysis. Results: This study found that left-behind wives were depressed and 10.57 times greater odds for depression compared to the wives of non-migrants. Multivariate analysis identified that significant contributing factors for depression were caste, education, own named property, household head's education and year of husband's migration. Similarly, left-behind wives experienced greater autonomy compared to the wives of non-migrants. Women's age, own named property, having children, husband's age, household head's gender, age, occupation, and education, family types, number of family members, household income are significantly associated with women's autonomy in the absence of husbands. Moreover, no significant difference was observed between left-behind wives of migrants and wives of non-migrants for health service utilisation for minor illness. However, for any illnesses, left-behind wives were more likely to use private health facilities than the wives of non-migrants. The qualitative findings revealed how separation, added responsibilities, worry about the husband's situation abroad and family type contribute to depression in left-behind wives. Other findings demonstrated how complexities of family structure, traditional culture and belief, having children and level of education influenced women's autonomy. Similarly, availability of health facilities and specialists at one place, poor past experiences at government health centres and accessibility were reported as reasons for using private health facilities by left-behind wives. Conclusions: The increasing trend of male international migration has both positive and negative effects on left-behind wives regarding depression, autonomy and type of health service utilisation. The Government of Nepal should formulate clear planned policies to manage international migration so that its negative consequences can be minimised. No single strategy can be sufficient to cover all aspects of migration and its impacts on left-behind wives. Thus, multidisciplinary approach strategies should be developed to address the multiple effects of migration on left-behind wives.

Abstract:

Many older couples face the dilemma of one of them developing an illness that results in their ability to cope with everyday living activities. The well spouse may struggle for many years with an increasing workload, both physical and mental. Ultimately, there may come a time, when nursing home placement becomes necessary. The aim of this research was to find out what the experience was like for the wife, with a husband who is ill and faces placement in a nursing home, and to determine whether nurses could do more to help them to cope with this difficult situation. Following ethics approval, nine wives were interviewed over a period of two years. Each of the experience was unique, but there were some common problems that many of the wives mentioned. Loneliness was considered by most of the wives as being extremely upsetting, even when they were living with other people, for example their children. The absence of their partner and long term confident was noticed particularly in the evening when, in the past, they had sat down together and watched television. Other reactions included guilt, grief, depression and a change in the husband/wife relationship. Many of the wives seemed to accept the situation, realising that they could no longer cope with their husband at home, they were also healthier than they had been when their husband was at home. This research has highlighted some important points when a wife finds herself in the situation of having to place her husband in a nursing home, although nurses are unable to assist with many of the effects on the wife of the placement, it is helpful to know that the friendliness of the staff, the care of the patient and the cleanliness and homeliness of the nursing home are helpful at this time
