Alabama has a glorious history of strong women struggling to overcome obstacles, sometimes as movements but often in individual fights for dignity, autonomy, and survival. Imagine the strength and ingenuity it took— and takes—for a slave woman, a sharecropper, a battered wife, or a domestic worker to survive. Women in this state have also fought on behalf of others, through social movements such as the abolitionist, anti-lynching, trade unionist, prison reform, suffrage, anti-poll tax, literacy, and civil rights movements. More recently, such battles have focused on equal rights for women, protection from rape and domestic violence, child support, reproductive rights, child care, educational equity, and inheritance equity. Currently, attempts to improve the status of Alabama women are particularly focused on the continuing problems associated with poverty and relative powerlessness. Alabama organizations are examining poverty, the lack of women in decision-making positions, violence against women in the home and on the streets, and the poor health of women. So far, these contemporary efforts have at times been fragmented and lacked coordination. Now we have a guide. After these many years of struggle, The Status of Women in Alabama examines the progress that we have made and compares the position of Alabama’s women to that of women in the rest of the United States. Specifically, the report examines political, economic, social, and health measures. We can be proud of ou

退蔵品（布類）のリフォーム効果の検討

本研究は，退蔵品のリフォームの有効性を実証することを目的とする。すなわち流行遅れなどで着用しなくなった衣服や，贈答品（布類）などが廃棄されずに保管されているいわゆる退蔵品を，資源として有効活用することは，ゴミ削減につながる一方ではないかと考え，その効果の検討を試みる。サンプルは8種類の布とし，その素材を活かしたアイテムのデザイン画を3～4種類描く。その中から男・女児用の子供服それぞれ3点と，のれんとエコバッグを，各々裁断，縫製，仕上げを行ってリフォーム作品を製作する。8 作品のリフォーム前と後の効果を評価した結果，どの作品もリフォーム効果は高く，約60~70 ％のゴミ削減となる。また子供服のリフォームは，市販価格の約１/5から1/7で仕上がり，経済的であることも明らかとなった。退蔵品のリフォームは，MOTTAINAI 精神の啓発やエコ生活への見直しにもつながり，循環型社会への一助ともなろう。The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of reforming unused stored goods. Useful application of so called unused stored goods such as clothes and gifts of similar nature (fabric materials) which have become oldfashioned and are no longer worn but still kept without being discarded as resources would serve as a means of reducing rubbish. As samples, 8 types of cloth were employed and the design of the items utilizing the material permitted portrayal of 3~4 types. With these, three suits of children's clothes of boys and girls, respectively, shop curtains, and ecologic bags were reformed by the procedures of cutting, sewing and finishing. Evaluation of the 8 items comparing before and after the reforming showed that the effect of reforming in all the works was remarkable and a rubbish reduction of about 60~70% was possible. Furthermore, reforming clothing could be made at about 1/5 ~ 1/7 of the market price of the goods, demonstrating also its economy. Reforming of unused stored goods leads not only to the development of the spirit of MOTTAINAI but also to revaluation of eco-onscious life and it serves as an aid to the re-cycling society.報告Report
