Book Synopsis The Life of Margaret Alice Murray by : Kathleen L. Sheppard
Download or read book The Life of Margaret Alice Murray written by Kathleen L. Sheppard and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Margaret Alice Murray: A Woman’s Work in Archaeology is the first book-length biography of Margaret Alice Murray (1863–1963), one of the first women to practice archeology. Despite Murray’s numerous professional successes, her career has received little attention because she has been overshadowed by her mentor, Sir Flinders Petrie. This oversight has obscured the significance of her career including her fieldwork, the students she trained, her administration of the pioneering Egyptology Department at University College London (UCL), and her published works. Rather than focusing on Murray’s involvement in Petrie’s archaeological program, Kathleen L. Sheppard treats Murray as a practicing scientist with theories, ideas, and accomplishments of her own. This book analyzes the life and career of Margaret Alice Murray as a teacher, excavator, scholar, and popularizer of Egyptology, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, and more. Sheppard also analyzes areas outside of Murray’s archaeology career, including her involvement in the suffrage movement, her work in folklore and witchcraft studies, and her life after her official retirement from UCL.
Book Synopsis The Woman Question by : Margaret Lovell-Smith
Download or read book The Woman Question written by Margaret Lovell-Smith and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It will be essentially a woman's paper, one that will deal with the many phases of the "Woman's Question" in its legal and social aspects," wrote Kate Sheppard in the first issue of The White Ribbon, July 1985. The writings of the women who won the vote in New Zealand would fill several volumes, as the pen was their major weapon. In the pages of first The Prohibitionist and later the entirely woman-owned and managed papers Daybreak and The White Ribbon, they debated ideas and issues, influenced the opinions of a huge body of women all over the country, networked and campaigned. The agenda included the vote, the economic independence of married women, the right to divorce, the custody of children being vested in both parents, the equal right of girls to a decent education and of women to training and jobs in the professions, the improvement of women's health and vitality, reform in women's dress, the need fo a payment to mothers and old age pensions, prison reform, peace and international arbitration. The editor has selected over ninety articles by sixteen women: Kate Sheppard figures strongly, but here too are Nary Muller, Lily Kirk, Stella Allan, Marion Hatton, Lucy Smith, Ada Wells, Margaret Sievwright, Christina Henderson, Jessie Mackay, Sarah Saunders Page, Amey Daldy, Alice Burn, Louisa Blake, Wilhelmina Sherriff Bain and Jennie Lovell Smith.

For those of us who live in the western world it is more than likely that one sleeps in our house, possibly even on our bed. I'm talking of course, of the dog. Yet, this animal, which lives alongside five hundred million of us all over the world - as an invaluable partner and a trusted confidant - presents us with one great unsolved mystery: how did this relationship - the most complex and enduring of any between human and animal - start in the first place?' Kate Humble is a life-long animal lover. Now living on an idyllic farm in Wales, she has achieved her dream of surrounding herself with as many varieties as possible. But, as with many Brits, the dog has always held a special place in her heart. Here, she uses her journey with her sheepdog puppy Teg to frame her examination of this very special relationship. Written with warmth and love, and packed full of stories about rescue dogs, guide dogs, service dogs and medical dogs, this is a must-read for anyone with a four-legged friend.
