Download or read book Jewish Women in Therapy written by Rachel J Siegel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the first volume ever to focus on the issues of Jewish women in the context of counseling and psychotherapy. Through poignant reflection and observation, the authors convey the richness and variety of Jewish women’s experiences and the Jewishness and femaleness of the concerns, issues, values, and attitudes that Jewish women--both clients and therapists--bring into the therapy room. Jewish Women in Therapy is a landmark book in many ways. It calls attention to the historical and political realities of the Jewish heritage and acknowledges the oppression of both Jews and women that therapists have typically ignored. And although Jewish women have participated in the therapeutic process, as clients, scholars, and therapists, seldom have they chosen to write about it. Never before have the writings of so many distinguished leaders in the field, including Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz, Evelyn Torton Beck, and Susannah Heschel, been compiled. They examine the damaging stereotypes of Jewish women--the Jewish American Princess and the Jewish Mother--that flourish today. Chapters also address the conflicts that many women feel about being Jewish and being female, celebrate the contributions of Jewish women to feminism and to therapy, examine the deliberate omission of women from the political process and the religious ritual, and convey the complexities of the oppression that are still blatantly directed at both Jews and females.

Book excerpt: A Woman Through and Through In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman.

When we see that we are women in all we do, we can be at peace with how God has created us, recognizing womanhood as an essential part of Christ’s mission and work.

Download or read book Coconut written by Florence Ọlájídé and published by Thread. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Why am I not white like everybody else?’ Nan came and sat on the edge of my bed. ‘What do you mean?’ A tender finger brushed against my cheek. ‘Well, everyone in this house is white. Why am I Black?’ A generation of Nigerian children were born in Britain in the fifties and sixties, privately fostered by white families, then taken to Nigeria by their parents. Coconut is the story of one of those children. 1963, North London. Nan fosters one-year-old Florence Ọlájídé and calls her ‘Ann.’ Florence adores her foster mother more than anything but Nan, and the children around her, all have white skin and she can’t help but feel different. Then, four years later, after a weekend visit to her birth parents, Florence never returns to Nan. Two months after, sandwiched between her mother and father plus her three siblings, six-year-old Florence steps off a ship in Lagos to the fierce heat of the African sun. Swapping the lovely, comfortable bed in her room at Nan’s for a mat on the floor of the living room in her new home, Florence finds herself struggling to adjust. She wants to embrace her cultural heritage but doesn’t speak Yoruba and knows nothing of the customs. Clashes with her grandmother, Mama, the matriarch of the family, result in frequent beatings. Torn between her early childhood experiences and the expectations of her African culture, she begins to question who she is. Nigerian, British, both? Florence’s story is an unputdownable tale of loss and loneliness, surviving poverty, maltreatment and fighting to get an education. Most of all, it’s a moving, uplifting and inspiring account of one woman’s self-determination to discover who she is and find her way to a place she can call home. Perfect for fans of Lemn Sissay’s My Name is Why and Tara Westover’s Educated. Audiobook narrated by Adjoa Andoh and featured on the Graham Norton Bookclub What readers are saying about Coconut: ‘Wow, how do I even do this book justice… I absolutely loved this… I would recommend this book to everyone… important and powerful… completely captivating and fascinating… stunning.’ Sibzzreads ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Heart-breaking… eye-opening… heart-warming… I couldn't recommend this enough… fantastic!’ NetGalley reviewer ‘Extraordinarily moving...a stunning read, beautifully written with searing honesty and humor.’ Abi Daré, international bestselling author of The Girl with the Louding Voice ‘One of the best non-fiction books I have read…Amazing.’ NetGalley reviewer ‘I sped through it as I could not put it down.’ Goodreads reviewer ‘Remarkable…with grace, wit, insight and not a little heartbreak.’ Adjoa Andoh, actress and star of Netflix series Bridgerton ‘Incredible… There were places I was shocked; places I was saddened; places I was amazed, and places where I laughed… Florence is now right up there at the top of my mental list of 'inspirational people'. NetGalley reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘I found myself completely immersed from the start! Florence writes with honesty, beauty and courage…delving deeply into some of the most important issues of our times.’ Christy Lefteri, international bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo ‘A piece of poetic resilience, Coconut is an integral intervention in our understanding of race, identity and belonging.’ David Lammy ‘Fascinating, emotional and enlightening… I felt myself rooting for Florence all the way… captivating.

Download or read book Women Talk Money written by Rebecca Walker and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A searing and fearless anthology of essays exploring the profound impact of money on women’s lives, edited by prominent feminist and writer Rebecca Walker. Women Talk Money is a groundbreaking collection that lifts the veil on what women talk about when they talk about money; it unflinchingly recounts the power of money to impact health, define relationships, and shape identity. The collection includes previously unpublished essays by trailblazing writers, activists, and models, such as Alice Walker, Tressie McMillan Cottom, Rachel Cargle, Tracy McMillan, Cameron Russell, Sonya Renee Taylor, Adrienne Maree Brown, and more, with Rebecca Walker as editor. In this provocative anthology, we discover a family that worships money even as it tears them apart; we read about the “financial death sentence” a transgender woman must confront to live as herself. We trace the journey of a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who finally makes enough money to discover her spiritual impoverishment; we follow a stressful email exchange between an unsympathetic university financial officer and a desperate family who can’t afford to pay their daughter’s tuition, and more. This collection is a clarion call to conduct honest conversations that demystify and transform the role money plays in our lives. Dazzlingly resonant and deeply familiar, Women Talk Money is a revelation.
