Download or read book Maiden to Mother written by Sarah Durham Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly rewarding guide for women stepping into their full feminine power Pre-patriarchal cultures revered the passage from youth to maturity as a part of nature’s cycle. Yet, today’s society has largely severed women from this connection, asking them to remain young, pretty, and disconnected from their inner sacredness. Maiden to Mother offers a desperately needed pathway out of infantilization and disempowerment and into soul-sourced sovereign wholeness. Through story, ritual, and teaching, Wilson ushers women through the ancient passage of the immature “Maiden” phase of life and guides us through the crucial initiation into the archetypal Mother—the powerful, safe, compassionate, full-bloom feminine life force that exists within all of us. The Mother is every woman’s birthright, regardless of whether or not she raises children. It is an embodiment of who we needed as a child, who we were meant to be in this life, and who the world needs us to be now. Here, we are invited to dismantle our internalized conditioning with its false, constricting standards for the feminine, so that we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life. “Midlife is not, as our culture proposes, where a woman’s power ends,” says Wilson, “but where it really begins.”

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maidenhood and Motherhood, or Ten Phases of Woman's Life: How to Protect the Health, Contribute to the Physical and Mental Development, and Increase the Happiness of Womankind There is o higher study for womankind than woman. There is no way in which the women of to-day can so well or surely help themselves and those about them and confer lasting benefits upon their children and their race as by learning to understand their own delicate organizations and how best to cherish and protect them. Mothers mold the characters of their sons and daughters, by their early training or by want of it, either for good or for evil. Even the best mothers, either through mistaken delicacy or want of information, often neglect to instruct their daughters in those matters about which they most need to know. The little girl realizes that she is not a boy; she does not know why. She changes to maidenhood without realizing the great purpose which Nature is working out, and often comes to womanhood without more than suspecting the grave responsibility of living and giving life. Her children die in infancy and she is tempted to blame Providence for afflictions which it might have been within her power to avert. If they grow to mature years it may be with a weak constitution or imperfect health, which had their cause and beginning in her own lack of information before they were born.

Book excerpt: Welcome to a work of history unlike any other. Mothering is as old as human existence. But how has this most essential experience changed over time and cultures? What is the history of maternity—the history of pregnancy, birth, the encounter with an infant? Can one capture the historical trail of mothers? How? In Mother Is a Verb, the historian Sarah Knott creates a genre all her own in order to craft a new kind of historical interpretation. Blending memoir and history and building from anecdote, her book brings the past and the present viscerally alive. It is at once intimate and expansive, lyrical and precise. As a history, Mother Is a Verb draws on the terrain of Britain and North America from the seventeenth century to the close of the twentieth. Knott searches among a range of past societies, from those of Cree and Ojibwe women to tenant farmers in Appalachia; from enslaved people on South Carolina rice plantations to tenement dwellers in New York City and London’s East End. She pores over diaries, letters, court records, medical manuals, items of clothing. And she explores and documents her own experiences. As a memoir, Mother Is a Verb becomes a method of asking new questions and probing lost pasts in order to historicize the smallest, even the most mundane of human experiences. Is there a history to interruption, to the sound of an infant’s cry, to sleeplessness? Knott finds answers not through the telling of grand narratives, but through the painstaking accumulation of a trellis of anecdotes. And all the while, we can feel the child on her hip.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last hundred years, pregnancy and childbirth has become increasingly safe – yet it is still a site of risk, and a contested ground on which health professionals and pregnant women both face high costs of error. In this context, all those involved in managing pregnancy and birth are expected to identify and mitigate risk: pregnant women are subject to increasing surveillance to ensure the safety of the unborn foetus, and every aspect of childbearing is increasingly medicalised. This publication brings together fascinating social science research to explore the ways in which risk is both created and managed in pregnancy and childbirth. The introductory chapters reflect on the changing social context of childbirth, in particular the medicalisation of both pregnancy and childbirth with development of specialist practitioners, such as obstetricians and midwives who claim to have the knowledge, technology and skills to identify and manage the risks involved. The next three chapters that examine the ways in which women’s behaviour during pregnancy is constructed as potentially risky -- for example smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs, and how these risks are monitored and mitigated. The final two parts of the book address the construction of and responses to both medicalisation and risk in childbirth. Altogether, it represents a valuable insight into the complex world of pregnancy, childbirth and risk. This book brings together editorials and articles originally published in special and open issues of Health, Risk and Society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maidenhood and Motherhood, or Ten Phases of Woman's Life: How to Protect the Health, Contribute to the Physical and Mental Development, and Increase the Happiness of Womankind It may be that they are afflicted with blemishes or deformities that might have been prevented, but which are now beyond the reach of simple and effective cure. If it so be that they grow up to perfect manhood and womanhood, she passes on to the evening of life secure in their protection and grateful to that Divine power which has thus blessed her among women. In a. Busy practice of more than thirty years as a family physician, I have been frequently, almost constantly, impressed with the fact that much of the pain and many of the disappointments and failures of life might be avoided if mothers were better informed both as to themselves, their own needs, and those of their children. So impressed, and believing that I can render no better service to my Creator or my fellow-creatures, I have endeavored to set down in the following pages the results of my own study and observation, in the hope of securing better health and greater happiness to women and their children, by instructing them fully as to the nature of those peculiarly feminine func tions; the requirements of their organizations during the various stages of development; by teach mg them 1n language chaste and delicate, but plain and unmistakable, how to fulfill the duties and avoid the dangers of maidenhood and mother hood.

Book excerpt: Outrageously handsome, witty and clever, Harry Cust was reputed to be one of the great womanisers of the late Victorian era. In 1893, while a Member of Parliament, he caused public scandal by his affair with artist and poet Nina Welby Gregory. When she revealed she was pregnant, horror swept through their circle known as 'the Souls', a cultured, mostly aristocratic group of writers, artists and politicians who also rubbed shoulders with luminaries such as Oscar Wilde and H. G. Wells. For the rest of their lives, Harry and Nina would fight to rebuild their reputations and maintain the marriage they were pressurised to enter. In Tangled Souls, acclaimed biographer Jane Dismore tells the tumultuous story of the romance which threatened to tear apart this distinguished group of friends, revealing pre-war society at its most colourful and most conflicted.

Book excerpt: From the author of the "hysterically funny and unsettlingly fascinating" New York Times bestseller Unmentionable, a hilarious illustrated guide to the secrets of Victorian child-rearing (Jenny Lawson). Feminist historian Therese Oneill is back, to educate you on what to expect when you're expecting . . . a Victorian baby! In Ungovernable, Oneill conducts an unforgettable tour through the backwards, pseudoscientific, downright bizarre parenting fashions of the Victorians, advising us on: How to be sure you're not too ugly, sickly, or stupid to breed What positions and room decor will help you conceive a son How much beer, wine, cyanide and heroin to consume while pregnant How to select the best peasant teat for your child Which foods won't turn your children into sexual deviants And so much more. Endlessly surprising, wickedly funny, and filled with juicy historical tidbits and images, Ungovernable provides much-needed perspective on -- and comic relief from -- the age-old struggle to bring up baby.
