Download or read book Women s Voices in Ireland written by Caitriona Clear and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women's Voices in Ireland examines the letters and problems sent in by women to two Irish women's magazines in the 1950s and 60s, discussing them within their wider social and historical context. In doing so, it provides a unique insight into one of the few forums for female expression in Ireland during this period. Although in these decades more Irish women than ever before participated in paid work, trade unions and voluntary organizations, their representation in politics and public and their workforce participation remained low. Meanwhile, women who came of age from the late 1950s experienced a freedom which their mothers and aunts - married or single, in the workplace or the home - had never known. Diary and letters pages and problem pages in Irish-produced magazines in the 1950s and 60s enabled women from all walks of life to express their opinions and to seek guidance on the social changes they saw happening around them. This book, by examining these communications, gives a new insight into the history of Irish women, and also contributes to the ongoing debate about what women's magazines mean for women's history.

Download or read book The 9th Engineer Battalion First Marine Division in Vietnam written by Jean Shellenbarger and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combat engineers of the First Marine Division, 9th Engineer Battalion, risked their lives daily in Vietnam as they cleared the roads of mines, repaired and paved the famous "Highway 1," disarmed booby traps, built bridges and culverts, and destroyed enemy bunkers and tunnels. Despite their sacrifices and pain, the combat engineers in Vietnam have heretofore largely been ignored. This is the first oral (or other) history of the 9th Engineers, the only Marine battalion formed specifically to go to Vietnam. More than 35 men of the 9th talk about why they joined the Marines and their experiences in basic training. They speak candidly and compellingly about their five years (1966 to 1970) in country. The soldiers also discuss what it was like to come home and get on with their lives.

Download or read book Descendants of William Cromartie and Ruhamah Doane written by Amanda Cook Gilbert and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious work chronicles 250 years of the Cromartie family genealogical history. Included in the index of nearly fifty thousand names are the current generations, and all of those preceding, which trace ancestry to our family patriarch, William Cromartie, who was born in 1731 in Orkney, Scotland, and his second wife, Ruhamah Doane, who was born in 1745. Arriving in America in 1758, William Cromartie settled and developed a plantation on South River, a tributary of the Cape Fear near Wilmington, North Carolina. On April 2, 1766, William married Ruhamah Doane, a fifth-generation descendant of a Mayflower passenger to Plymouth, Stephen Hopkins. If Cromartie is your last name or that of one of your blood relatives, it is almost certain that you can trace your ancestry to one of the thirteen children of William Cromartie , his first wife, and Ruhamah Doane, who became the founding ancestors of our Cromartie family in America: William Jr., James, Thankful, Elizabeth, Hannah Ruhamah, Alexander, John, Margaret Nancy, Mary, Catherine, Jean, Peter Patrick, and Ann E. Cromartie. These four volumes hold an account of the descent of each of these first-generation Cromarties in America, including personal anecdotes, photographs, copies of family bibles, wills, and other historical documents. Their pages hold a personal record of our ancestors and where you belong in the Cromartie family tree.

Download or read book Horror Comics in Black and White written by Richard J. Arndt and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-01-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, the comic book industry instituted the Comics Code, a set of self-regulatory guidelines imposed to placate public concern over gory and horrific comic book content, effectively banning genuine horror comics. Because the Code applied only to color comics, many artists and writers turned to black and white to circumvent the Code's narrow confines. With the 1964 Creepy #1 from Warren Publishing, black-and-white horror comics experienced a revival continuing into the early 21st century, an important step in the maturation of the horror genre within the comics field as a whole. This generously illustrated work offers a comprehensive history and retrospective of the black-and-white horror comics that flourished on the newsstands from 1964 to 2004. With a catalog of original magazines, complete credits and insightful analysis, it highlights an important but overlooked period in the history of comics.

Download or read book The Best Life written by Sue Westrum and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The good life" - a commonly used phrase - touts the satisfaction found in certain kinds of shoes, vinyl siding for your house, soft drinks, and even cigars. Sue not only challenges the reader with a realistic understanding of the good life but through interesting and convicting stories of how God worked in the life of a city girl - changing and molding her to begin to reflect His image and in the lives of the Berik people of Indonesian New Guinea, calling those He chose in eternity past to glorify and worship Him. Sue enables the reader to understand The Best Life, a life of healing and forgiveness, experiencing God's peace and knowing His joy. God gave Sue and her husband the distinct privilege of watching Him and having Him work through them to change a jungle society. She relates how God loved and prepared her to fulfill His plans for her, even using shattering childhood events and a man of the jungle to teach her. God implanted in her attributes that enabled her to thrive in situations for which she felt inadequate, situations that are 180 degrees different from her life before Peter. Through exciting and powerful eyewitness accounts, she leads the reader, showing how God used four academic disciplines anthropology, linguistics, literacy, and translation - to impact a formerly unreached people group and to give them the New Testament in their own language. Sue raises these questions: "Was it worth it to leave my own culture to struggle in another culture, to risk the lives of our children with tropical disease, to suffer through the agony of exotic illnesses like malaria and dengue fever, to live with all of God's creatures in our house, to be separated from family and lifelong friends - not even being there when Peter's dad passed away? Is it really worth it to trust in Jesus, to surrender to Him, to commit to following Him, to obey Him, to thank Him - no matter what?" Answering these questions is what this book is all about, challenging you whether you are young or old, male or female, are seeking to know Jesus or are searching for His will and plan for you to find and accept The Best Life.
