Download or read book Radical Reinvention written by Kaya Oakes and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As someone who clocked more time in mosh pits and at pro–choice rallies than kneeling in a pew, Kaya Oakes was not necessarily the kind of Catholic girl the Vatican was after. But even while she immersed herself in the punk rock scene and proudly called herself an atheist, something kept pulling her back to the religion of her Irish roots. After running away from the Church for thirty years, Kaya decides to return. Her marriage is under stress, her job is no longer satisfying, and with multiple deaths in her family, a darkness looms large. In spite of her frustration with Catholic conservatism, nothing brings her peace like Mass. After years of searching to no avail for a better religious fit, she realizes that the only way to find harmony—in her faith and her personal life—is to confront the Church she'd left behind. Rebellious and hypercritical, Kaya relearns the catechisms and achieves the sacraments, all while trying to reconcile her liberal beliefs with contemporary Church philosophy. Along the way she meets a group of feisty feminist nuns, a "pray–and–bitch" circle, an all–too handsome Italian priest, and a motley crew of misfits doing their best to find their voices in an outdated institution. This is a story of transformation, not only of Kaya's from ex–Catholic to amateur theologian, but ultimately of the cultural and ethical pushes for change that are rocking the world's largest religion to its core.

Download or read book From Mom to Me Again written by Melissa Shultz and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Live your best life—even after your kids leave home When her children left for college, Melissa Shultz was certain that she had prepared them well for their new lives-but her own life was a different matter entirely. Her house was empty, her purpose unclear. If her life was no longer dominated by the day-to-day demands of being "Mom," then who exactly was she? And how would she ever move forward? From Mom to Me Again is the story of one woman's reinvention. Shultz's struggle with the empty nest and the transformation of her marriage, friendships, career, and ultimately herself, is part memoir and part self-help guide. Funny, poignant, and practical, this book tells Shultz's personal story and provides valuable advice for readers preparing to send their children off into the world. She shows women that while they'll always be mothers, it's time for them to take center stage in their own lives once again.
Book Synopsis Reinvention 2.0 Edition by : Subrata Ranjan Chanda
Download or read book Reinvention 2.0 Edition written by Subrata Ranjan Chanda and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-10-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinvention – 2.0 Edition is all about reinventing the existing you. The canvas of your life is always blank and you can paint a completely different picture than you ever painted before; your past does not equal your future. Our stories can either liberate us or detain us, depict us as hopeless victims or hopeful champions, feed us anguish or thankfulness. Life is monotonous; eliminate distractions and focus on the fundamentals of life by finding ways to experience joy in the mundane of life. The beauty of any reinvention is that even though it is difficult to start, the person you often become is even better and stronger than before. Everything in life is contagious—who you are with, the words you hear and read, the things you see, and the things you seek out to learn. Make sure you are infected with the secret special life-saving virus that propels you each day to live a better life than the day before. And, while reinvention is incredibly important—the ability to push yourself out of your comfort zone and into new territory is one of the most tried and truest ways of keeping people interested in who you are and what you’re doing. You are no longer defined by what you did or what someone did to you. Yesterday has been taken care of, and a wonderful tomorrow awaits you to rewrite your story, reshape your identity, redefine your outlook and rephrase what you say to life. Your new life is with you and the future is bright. Don’t look beyond the horizon, don’t get tempted—it’s just a ‘chimera’ you will never understand. Complex as it is, focus on what you have in life—reinvent yourself. Life is calling. Where are you! Go, claim your legacy—make a Magnum Opus of your life. Be the author of the 2nd edition of your life story—give it a name— Reinvention – 2.0 Edition.
Book Synopsis The Reinvention of Primitive Society by : Adam Kuper
Download or read book The Reinvention of Primitive Society written by Adam Kuper and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Kuper’s iconoclastic intellectual history argues that the idea of “primitive society” is a western myth. The “primitive” is imagined as the opposite of the “civilised”. But this is a protean myth. As ideas about civilisation change, so the image of primitive society must be adjusted. By way of fascinating account of classic texts in anthropology, ancient history and law, Kuper reveals how this myth underpinned academic research and inspired political programmes. Its ancestry is traced back to classical western beliefs about barbarians and savages, and Kuper also tackles the latest version of the myth, the idea of a global identity of “indigenous peoples”. The Reinvention of Primitive Society is a key text in the history of anthropology, and will interest anyone who has puzzled about the very idea of “primitive society” – and so, by implication, about “civilisation”.

Book Synopsis Mother of Invention: How Our Mothers Influenced Us as Feminist Acadamics and Activists by : Vanessa Reimer
Download or read book Mother of Invention: How Our Mothers Influenced Us as Feminist Acadamics and Activists written by Vanessa Reimer and published by Demeter Press. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mother of Invention: How Our Mothers Influenced Us As Feminist Academics and Activists is an interdisciplinary collection that combines feminist theory with life writing to explore the diverse ways that mothers, whether or not they themselves identity as “feminist,” inspire feminist consciousness in their daughters and sons. It features creative and scholarly contributions from feminist academics, activists, writers and artists from different educational backgrounds, places and walks of life. While not an exclusive celebration of maternal relations, this collection provides an antidote to matrophobia and mother-blaming by critically exploring and affirming the myriad of challenges and complexities that constitute motherwork. It explores how the mothering of feminist daughters and sons intersects with issues of gender, sexuality, dis- ability, ethnicity, racialization, citizenship, religion, economic class, education, and socio-historical location. Collectively these essays explore the centrality of intergenerational matrilineal narratives in shaping feminist consciousness, they deconstruct dominant ideologies of patriarchal motherhood and womanhood, and they challenge the notion that there is a formulaic way to raise feminist daughters and sons, or a singular “correct” way to engage in feminist maternal practice.

Download or read book Opting Back In written by Pamela Stone and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a career break is a conflicted and risky decision for high-achieving professional women. Yet many do so, usually planning, even as they quit, to return to work eventually. But can they? And if so, how? In Opting Back In, Pamela Stone and Meg Lovejoy revisit women first interviewed a decade earlier in Stone’s book Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home to answer these questions. In frank and intimate accounts, women lay bare the dilemmas they face upon reentry. Most succeed but not by returning to their former high-paying, still family-inhospitable jobs. Instead, women strike out in new directions, finding personally gratifying but lower-paid jobs in the gig economy or predominantly female nonprofit sector. Opting Back In uncovers a paradox of privilege by which the very women best positioned to achieve leadership and close gender gaps use strategies to resume their careers that inadvertently reinforce gender inequality. The authors advocate gender equitable policies that will allow women—and all parents—to combine the intense demands of work and family life in the twenty-first century.
