Book Synopsis Forbidden Journeys by : Nina Auerbach
Download or read book Forbidden Journeys written by Nina Auerbach and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “darkly entertaining” story collection is “a significant contribution to nineteenth-century cultural history, and especially feminist studies" (United Press International). In the 1870s and 1880s, children’s literature saw some astonishingly bold and innovative writing by women authors. As these eleven dark and wild stories demonstrate, fairy tales by Victorian women constitute a distinct literary tradition, one that was startlingly subversive for its time. While writers such as Lewis Carroll and J.M. Barrie wrote nostalgic tales that pined for lost youth, their female counterparts had more serious—at times unsettling—concerns. From Anne Thackeray Ritchie’s adaptations of "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood" to Christina Rossetti’s unsettling anti-fantasies in Speaking Likenesses, the stories collected here are breathtaking acts of imaginative freedom, by turns amusing, charming, and disturbing. Besides their social and historical implications, they are extraordinary works of fiction, full of strange delights for readers of any age. "The editors’ intelligent and fascinating commentary reveals ways in which these stories defied the Victorian patriarchy."—Allyson F. McGill, Belles Lettres

Download or read book Journeys Exposed written by Giorgia Alù and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journeys Exposed: Women's Writing, Photography, and Mobility examines contemporary literature written by women that are all in different ways related to Italy. It argues that photography provides women with a means to expose aspects of their nomadic self and of the others’ mobile lives within and beyond the writing process. By resorting to the visual, women individualistically respond to forms of hegemonic power, fragmentation, displacement, loss and marginality, and make these experiences key to their creative production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When gathering the stories for EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEYS OF ORDINARY WOMEN, one thing was very clear, most of us are not celebrities that have a great number of people who know us, BUT each woman is unique and is of great value in God's eyes and each has been given her own life story and not two of the stories are the same. JIMMY DE YOUNG from the television program DAY OF DISCOVERY and radio program PROPHECY TODAY says "Sharon Singleton has the incredible ability to weave together a fascinating and inspirational collection of life stories that will keep you engrossed in the pages of this book. What better way to grow in your faith than to read the stories of 21st Century women as they journey through life. You will find yourself hidden in the pages of this book. I have been blessed to know and watch the author in her own life-journey as she has interacted with the ordinary women whose lives have been anything but ordinary."

Book Synopsis Community of Women by : Catherine Tetrick
Download or read book Community of Women written by Catherine Tetrick and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community of Women: The Journeys We Take is a collection of women's stories written by women about specific moments in their lives that changed them forever. The stories are a dive into the core of the subject matter allowing the reader to experience the various emotions that the author experienced and now fill pages. The stories cover life choices, love, marriage, childbearing, divorce, illness, death, sorrow, infertility, adoption, and careers; no area that concerns women goes untouched. The frank introspection, eagerness to share experiences, and the poignancy of material will ring true to women readers everywhere. It is not for everyone to document a learning experience or challenging time in life. Plenty of women we approached chose not to partake. For those who did, it was emotional. It was risky. (This was the first time many of these writers told their stories outside their intimate circles). Old wounds were reopened. There were tears of both sorrow and fond memory. For some the writing brought closure. Some called it cathartic. Overall there was a general sense of calm with the satisfaction that they made it through their challenging time and that the journey they chose to share is now in their rear view mirror. Through writing and sharing their stories, these contributors can now look back with perspective, astonishment, and gratefulness for landing on their feet and surviving.

Download or read book Journeys written by Andrew Tisch and published by RosettaBooks. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every family has a story of how they arrived in America, whether it was a few months, years, decades, or centuries ago. Journeys: An American Story celebrates the vastness and variety of immigration tales in America, featuring seventy-two essays about the different ways we got here. This is a collection of family lore, some that has been passed down through generations, and some that is being created right now. Journeys captures the quintessential idea of the American dream. The individuals in this book are only a part of the brilliant mosaic of people who came to this country and made it what it is today. Read about the governor’s grandfathers who dug ditches and cleaned sewers, laying the groundwork for a budding nation; how a future cabinet secretary crossed the ocean at age eleven on a cargo ship; about a young boy who fled violence in Budapest to become one of the most celebrated American football players; the girl who escaped persecution to become the first Vietnamese American woman ever elected to the US congress; or the limo driver whose family took a seventy-year detour before finally arriving at their original destination, along with many other fascinating tales of extraordinary and everyday Americans. In association with the New-York Historical Society, Andrew Tisch and Mary Skafidas have reached out to a variety of notable figures to contribute an enlightening and unique account of their family’s immigration story. All profits will be donated to the New-York Historical Society and the Statue of Liberty Ellis Island Foundation.
